Introducing the new
Stiletto Deuce™ & Stiletto Trident™
from Mesa Engineering

Rock's New High Gain Alternative - Elevating EL-34 Tone from Classic to a Menacing New Realm!

Stiletto marks Mesa's dedication to the legendary power behind heavy rock's British ancestry. Razor sharp and finely honed, the Stiletto is mean enough to hang with a wall of Rectos and slice right through the mix with a trademark new sound.

Matter of fact, that was our primary goal: Create the perfect high-gain companion to our own icons, the Dual and Triple Rectifier Heads. Matching their mind-blowing performance, this searing new blade was forged to cut its own deadly swath, and elevate the EL-34 sound from classic to a menacing new realm. Just like the Rectos did to 6L6s!

Tighter, higher bass, lower, fatter mids and a hazy harmonic top where luscious overtones line up in a shimmering crystalline spread. This sonic assault fits tightly with a Recto in an aggressive two-guitar band, allowing each player to carve out a distinctive region ...and own it.

Two ruthless pre-amp channels keep the Stiletto's chrome panel gleaming and simple. Channel One fashions an urgent, expansive clean sound - or can be switched to clone the sinister fury of Channel Two's high-gain thrust. Advancing with the Gain control takes you from a '34-style Brit Blues clip, through classic UK Hard Rock to a hellacious new frontier of modern grind.

Each channel of the Stiletto Deuce™ can be set for 50 or 100 watt performance, while the Trident™ offers the clippable 50 - or a truly stunning 150 watts of coliseum headroom per channel. Each channel also offers your choice of Rectifiers: Silicon Diodes or Tube Tracking™, which automatically matches the optimum number of 5U4s to the power array selected.

The Stiletto also incorporates our patented Bold-Spongy power feature that works like a built-in Variac for an even "browner" vibe. Our Solo feature (pat. pend.) allows you to step out with a footswitchable volume boost when it's your turn in the spotlight to wield this menacing tone.

External Switching Ports, Slave Out with Level Control and an All-Tube, Series FX Loop (including a hard-bypass), round out the rear panel features.

In the Clash of the Titans, Stiletto cuts quick and deep. So arm yourself with the signature sound that rivals the Recto and sets a vicious new standard for heavy guitar.
