Tone is totally subjective.... I tried a Rectoverb and quite honestly though it was one of the worst amps I ever played. My guitar hated it too. Does that mean it is not a great amp? No.... not at all.... it only means it's not the amp I want. Go try them and decide for yourself.
I agree that tone is subjective but I will not stoop as low as the %$# that posted this reply. I very much enjoyed playing the Stilleto but decided to go with the RoV....
Google RoV reviews. Check my 2 year review of the RoV on the rectifier section. Many have traded their RoV's in only to regret it later.
As far as the narrow minded person that posted the RoV as the worst amp he ever played....please get a life. What an $@# thing to say.
You want to call him any more names for no reason? He is entitled to an opinion as much as anyone else, and just because he disagrees with your amplifier preference DOES NOT give you the right to attack his post. On the contrary, your post slandering his opinion is about the most elementary and narrow minded thing I have seen on this board since day one.
Back on topic, I too agree the Stiletto will fit this bill better. It is a MUCH better lead amp than the rectoverb, or any rectifier for that matter. The stiletto was my only amp for a while, and after owning it, I found that I loved its sound most when playing leads. It lacked a little body for playing the modern rhythm parts I delve in IMO. So, I grabbed an old rectifier, which I now use for rhythm, and have the Stiletto A/Bed for leads. It's a perfect combination, with each amp doing what it excels at.
Long story short, with the very evolution of my rig, I could comfortably say that the Stiletto will fit you better as a lead player.
And to throw a complete curveball at you, as a lead player, you may also want to consider the Mark III/IV. :wink:
Hope that helps!
