I have the stiletto sounding amazing in my room, at a low volume.. I took it to jam last week and turned it up and HOLY BRIGHT! I'm totally against mic'ing off center, and I dial my tone in with the speakers hitting my face.. I would need an EQ in the loop to cut down the highs, drastically ! I think you should just keep the MKV.. I bought the Stiletto, to resell it, so theres not much point in me buying an EQ.. Definitely wayyyyy too bright though, unless you let your cab point at your groin and are ignorant to what people in the crowd hear!
Well, settings are obviously going to vary based on volumes settings. As I've mentioned, turning down the channel volume, and compensating with the output knob would bring in more low to low mids, and reduce the brightness of the preamp signal going into the poweramp...
I've mentioned this I guess a billion times too many, but the Stiletto Deuce II are similar to those classic British amps, such as vintage Marshalls or whatnot. They are notorious for having less low end, and more of a upper midrange to high cut in their tone. It's only that modern amps were designed to have more low and low mids in their tone, as preferences towards that kind of tone prevailed...
