I am seriously thinking of trading my Stiletto 2x12 cabinet for a Rectifier 2x12 cabinet. Any of you out there A/B'd the two? Would appreciate your thoughts.
I had a ace 2x12 combo. I just switched to a deuce with a recto 2x12 cab. The recto adds a LOT more beef and modern sound that the stiletto cab. If you are playing and thing modern go with the recto cab, and classic rock, go with the stiletto cab.
I'm looking at the Mesa price list. Stiletto cab and Rec cab both say 180 watt, V30, closed back, 8ohm. What's the difference? I'm assuming size maybe?
I own both and have spent some time comparing them.
I won't bore you with how I ended up with two Rectos and one Stiletto cabinet.
I have one cabinet too many right now. :roll:
Both cabinets sound great but I do prefer the Recto version over the Stiletto.
The sound difference is about what you would expect when you set the two side by side and make a visual comparison.
The Recto is bigger and heavier and sounds exactly that way.
