You are one of my Favorite guitar players ever I study your style I have learned alot from you Thank you Andy Timmons I have been playing guitar for 52 years now and I still learn from Awesome guitar players like you Thank you so much.😎🎸🙌🎵🎶
Some day, people are going to be hunting them down like an old Laney or Hiwatt is now. They are tremendous amps that cut through a mix way better than the Marshall's of the same age.
Not just a great player with unique tone taste, that speaks somewhere deep inside of your soul,but also kind and humble man and someone you would want to call a good friend...
Met you Andy while working @ guitar center when the 1st local opened off the toll-road in Dallas , you came in with your clinic , hung out with us and bought me a sprite , Ive talked of you as a guitar hero ever since .
Oh yeah, Andy's playing is some of the most soulful playing I've ever heard, whether it be something like gone or even his harder stuff like his cover of freedom or even Groove or die, his playing is always enjoyable and so enticing, it just makes you fall in love with it. His stuff is absolutely amazing, for those who compare him to eric johnson or vai, satch, etc..., I'd have to say they are all really great and they are all definitely unique ! There is no comparing them, just enjoy them !
I just HAD to purchase a Stiletto after watching this vid. I wonder how many others have done the same? The clean sound on Channel 1 really is breathtaking with a delay in the loop.
Really want one of these amps I feel like they will be rare collectors items someday. They have a really unique sound. I heard they blow up from a few people, then theres others that swear by them.
That's it, I just saw a Stiletto down at the local used shop. I'm on a mission to get it. Andy you've done it again, first it was the BB Pre, now it's on to a Mesa!
Man, the sound he's getting out of that amp! Maybe it's just his playing, but I think he convinced me. I was considering a Stiletto Ace combo for my next amp and this guy might have sold me. :)
@Troglored Absolutely agree. But you don't have to pay 2000 or so for amp. I found LoneStar and Stiletto Ace for about half in local Guitarcenter. It's a lot of cash still, but that's like nice used one, but you get full warranty. I was looking for something for half grand, but honestly these guys are so much better than anything in that range. I got in the trouble at home with wife, but couldn't resist and put one on hold. They are real tonal factory and well worth even full price.....
Such a wonderful player, one of my favourate tones with such rich harmonics. Might have to start getting a few Boggie amps - my bank manager wont be happy!!!
1 minute in and i'm sold. I'm going to attempt to trade my Peavey 5150 and/or XXX for a deuce. Wow, I'm officialy an Andy Timmons fan...great overall playing! hyper acurate WITH feel! YES!
i didn't know till recently how expensive they are there. I baught the floor model at the music store by my house for $1000, and the 4x12 cab cost me $900
the stiletto head costs $3000 in UK alone plus the $900 2x12 cab, I agree, Andy can play through anythting and it will sound better than US playing his rig lol
I find it always a bit underwhelming when someone talks about EL34 tone or 6L6 tone. Just think how much in common twin reverb and 5150 has. Both use 6L6 in the power section. And using EL34 in dual rec does not turn it into a Marshall or Hiwatt. It really should not come as a surprise to anyone that Marshall and Hiwatt cleans are right up there with anything available now or then. Ever tried 60s Superbass? Cleans are very lush and epic. And loud. Andy said use your ears, that’s still good advice.
@zsarandanga Che por favor, lo dudo. Este tipo toca con tono. Sí, usa el reverb pero él sabe lo que está buscando en su sonido. Además(en ese ejemplo) está explicando la posibilidad de su amp y cómo él lo usa. No está diciendo que su tono es el mejor, solament que le sirve y a su estilo. Pa' mí, suena mejor que muchos con su equipo y con la manera en que toca.

I had the pleasure of having a lesson with Andy. Incredible.
Andy's tone is to die for! Warm and full! love it.
Andy's playing is so tasteful and his tone is just amazing. What a perfect combination.
I just bough a Stiletto haed + 4x12 cabinet yesterday... It has heavenly tone....
he has the best tone I've ever heard
the crunch of the stiletto is just amazing
You are one of my Favorite guitar players ever I study your style I have learned alot from you Thank you Andy Timmons I have been playing guitar for 52 years now and I still learn from Awesome guitar players like you Thank you so much.😎🎸🙌🎵🎶
The stiletto is so underrated.
Stella B I totally agree. Love my stage 1 deuce
Almost as underrated as Andy Timmons.

Not just a great player with unique tone taste, that speaks somewhere deep inside of your soul,but also kind and humble man and someone you would want to call a good friend...
Great stuff. What a beautiful song! Now I want a Mesa. Love the sound he gets from the Tube Driver.

amazing tone . the best clean tone i've ever heard and his overdrive tones sound so thick ....
I just got hip to this guy and I am blown away...
What a great guitarist and he seems a genuine nice guy, I've got a Mesa Nomad but now want one of these babies.
Andy Timmons could play on a 5-watt battery powered amp and make it sound amazing! Great touch and dynamics.
I just HAD to purchase a Stiletto after watching this vid. I wonder how many others have done the same? The clean sound on Channel 1 really is breathtaking with a delay in the loop.
andy timmons- resident mesa boogie badass. IMO he has one of the best whammy vibrato techniques
I got a mesa trident. They are amazing. I thoroughly recommend them.
That's what you get when you mix exceptional equipment with exceptional talent.
Ah man hes so underrated.
Anyone else agree?
the clean tone is so beautiful !!!!!!
he is so underrated :/
It looks a metal head...but the clean tone sounds like heaven
Great.Nice touch tone for days.
Really want one of these amps I feel like they will be rare collectors items someday. They have a really unique sound. I heard they blow up from a few people, then theres others that swear by them.
awesome guitarist
Actually, I've found that Andy's tone has never been better. Mesa FTW!!!
I saw Andy live with Danger Danger. Totally awesome...
shit man, i thought mesa were only good for drive/high gain sounds. that clean tone is one of the best if not the best i've ever heard!
That's it, I just saw a Stiletto down at the local used shop. I'm on a mission to get it. Andy you've done it again, first it was the BB Pre, now it's on to a Mesa!
he so reminds me of steve vai!
the hair, the ibanez, the tremolo.
i think he's now my second favourite guitarist
Man, the sound he's getting out of that amp! Maybe it's just his playing, but I think he convinced me. I was considering a Stiletto Ace combo for my next amp and this guy might have sold me. :)
1:09 the prayer / the answer .... god bless mesa
Excellent!!!
Grandma Mary
listening to clean channel makes me wanna cry
@foxtrotalex thanks! I might be getting a replacement neck for my strat and putting new neck and mid pups in there.
Anyhow thats just my two cents, I love all of their work !
~ Sean
6:26 incredible tone!!! Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sweetest mesa i ever heard
is $1000 a good price worth he money?
Jade Pascual
Maybe,but it think all mesa product are the best
M.Reza Akbar what about the cab clone?

Someone have to call 911 because this is amazing
Such a wonderful player, one of my favourate tones with such rich harmonics. Might have to start getting a few Boggie amps - my bank manager wont be happy!!!
cleavey100 lol@“Boggie”
So nice.
@stoneybaksum All the other modes are amazing as well...
5:30- 5:45 put a big smile on my face!
I discover something special every day in this amp. Is orgasmique !
Andy Timmons is the GOD of Tone!
man this sounds soooo awesome. the tubedriver into clean channel blew me away. WOW! is the reverb in the amp or is he using a pedal?
@ThomasMetal75
Exactly the thought I had.
Master of the stankface. Amazing player.
"And your fingers will sound different of course..."
dimarzio: cruiser, chopper, breed. Most of the mid output alcino 5 pickups from Dimarzio are great.
Magnificent tone. Andy tell us your secret! I gess GOD's hand is working in this tone!
Thats surprising for EL34s. Sounds more like 6L6s! wow.. super clean..
The clean with Tube driver creates such a fat, Eric Johnson meets Steve Vai sound!
Agreed.
For me Andy is the tone's god
the tone is on the fingers
Try them both in stereo. Mine works great with my Roadster...
1 minute in and i'm sold. I'm going to attempt to trade my Peavey 5150 and/or XXX for a deuce. Wow, I'm officialy an Andy Timmons fan...great overall playing! hyper acurate WITH feel! YES!
So what are some pickups that really work well with the Stiletto's?
this tone for me is literally God's voice
i didn't know till recently how expensive they are there. I baught the floor model at the music store by my house for $1000, and the 4x12 cab cost me $900
He says it right at the beginning... Stiletto Deuce 2
@davem04ify Considering this came out so long ago, I'd guess stage 1.
Is this amp still made?
Stage II. Watch the video, and the light of the power status is green (the stage I amp have a red light)
what gauge use andy on his guitar?
the stiletto head costs $3000 in UK alone plus the $900 2x12 cab, I agree, Andy can play through anythting and it will sound better than US playing his rig lol
Is this amp the stage 1 or 2
That is one sexy fingerboard.
MESA BOOGIE IS THE BEST!
@bluebrowne13 can't exactly go out and buy that now can you?
@c9chord
dimebucker,emg 81+85,emg hz,dimarzio yjm,dimarzio superdistortion.!!
@meta1983 Steve Vai has said, Andy Timmons is the best guitarist on the planet.
Anyone know which Stiletto this is? 50 watt? Deuce II?
don't hate the bandit :(
Lucky you. Mesa just discontinued the Trident...
What was the name of the CD I think I missed it!?!
The CD is called Resolution.

@rsl84416 No - unfortunately you can't...
hey peavey bandits rule!
Why do so many people hate the stilleto!

Pa' mí, suena mejor que muchos con su equipo y con la manera en que toca.
never heard of this guy until now but from what I heard I loved and thought it was awesome but I wish he didn't hit the tremolo arm so strongly
His tone is too good. I can't stand it. Damn.
@nickyatestheblaze
I actually instantly laughed out loud and looked stupid.
so sik of digital crap lol goin back to tubes!
Activate automatic subs and, in the guitar parts, some random words appear, as if the guitar is speaking (poetic post)
The codex is still the same...
Why doesn't he mention which Stiletto this is?????? Is it a big secret?
The Tube Driver is hands down the fattest OD ever created, yet everyone wants a damn modified tube screamer
Clean tone is beautiful....but seriously....Andy Timmons could make a Peavey Bandit sound beautiful!!
you have just met God...aka Andy Timmons
... He's a musician, not a magician.
cualquier equipo de mierda suena asi con un poco de reverb
This guy is such a yuppie!!!
mesa boogie ftw!!!!!!
is this the ace or the duece?
