    I've never had a stiletto head, but most accounts of them by owners are that they are naturally very bright, some even say they can easily get raspy with the bigger recto cabs.
    I have never ran the treble above 5. Usually not at 5. See - that Marshall cab sounds like it would be ideal...

      And like I said - the Marshall cab angled is really what I'm looking for. I doubt I'd ever take a 4x12 to a gig.
      Yep. CRAZY expensive!

        Oh yeah Ace you are right-on with wanting the recto-212. That cab will really match well with a stiletto head. It won't sound as wide a 412 but the mids and highs are really full and warmer.

          Of course I am...

          Unfortunately I am also a cheap mofo too.

            Everything has just skyrocketed in price. My 212 is from 08 or 09 when they were like $575 brand new, and since it had a couple tiny scuffs and had been used as the shop demo unit he let me have it for $500 even. Can't even get them well-used for that much anymore. heck my 2000 recto-412 slant-baffle straight-shell was $400 used and only 10 miles down the road. Got lucky on that one.

              If you need a 4x12, that's a well built one for not too bad a price.

                Ace, I think you could take a 4x12 to a Hollywood Blvd. show, as long as it is a Marshall. Remember that people pining for those days want to see a Marshall that sounds like a Soldano, so maybe run your Riot into your head.
                The Stiletto has enough Juice to do that. That's why I play the Tight Gain channel and not crunch. Fluid Gain takes you to classic Mesa tone. Handy for the odd Night Ranger tune....

                  Good cab for a fair price. Man up and get it and rock it at a show and let us know how it sounds.
                  The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

                            Cool cab indeed. Ace's stiletto might rip it a new one, but that would be great for a home music room setup.

                                Here's a good deal, and maybe they still ship cheaper to a store near you.
