Mesa Stiletto, Amp of the Stars, at The Barking Dog and The State Theatre

Whoever normally uses the Tube Crate at rehearsal will be using my Mesa Stilleto Trident amp at the shows. Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Trident Amp head (stage 1). This powerful beast is loaded with features, beginning with 150 watts of power (switchable to 50). The tubes are the highest quality hand-wired Mesa EL-34’s, which offer a distinctive bright and vibrant clean tone, not to mention balls out saturation that will knock your neighbor’s windows out. Mesa began making these amps in 1994. What I like about this amp is its versatility. Mesa provides a variety of switches to get all types of crunch tones. For example, dialing in a British Pete Townshend sound is no trouble at all. Many people have likened this amp to Mesa’s version of a Marshall because of its saturation capabilities.
