Who is the Stiletto aimed at, primarily?
RS: Aficionados of both classic Brit tones and of modern high-gain performance, especially when both can be offered in one amplifier – And, of course, those bands with two guitars. GB: Were you concerned about cannibalizing the market for the Dual Rectifier series? RS: No, not really. For some players, the Rectifier is just right; for others, it isn’t. We wanted to offer something for those other guys. One of the hippest things about what we get to do is that “different amplifiers create different musical styles”. You can play a lot of different musical styles on a piano, and yet the instrument always sounds the same. But you can take one guitar and, depending on the amp you use and how you set it, totally different musical styles are suggested and become possible. It’s the AMP that’s setting the style and in many cases DEFINING the style. With the Stiletto we’re just offering another sonic palette to play with. GB: How different is the Stiletto to a Dual Rec in terms of the circuit? R
