Hetfield was playing this Mesa at SF Giants game. I don't recognize the control layout. Modified Recto?

There's your Hetfield Mesa Sig amp...I'd bet...maybe...possibly.....JH on the front.....maybe...possibly..
 
Hmmm if you guys are right I bet Mesa tweaked a stiletto to be more like a VH4...
 
A little digging on Mesa/Boogie's facebook, someone said "James has had that amp for a few years... My shop cut the signature badge for it. I think the speaker cab is new." Maybe it's just a regular Stiletto that he put his little logo on, he really likes to have his name on his stuff.
 
That pic is old and the Stiletto has been discontinued for a while. I say stock amp with some cosmetics,

I`m pretty sure that pic was taken last night at the SF Giants game
 
Your right. I was thinking of when they played the National Anthem,but he used Diezels then. I know I saw that amp before though.
 
A lot of people didn't like the Stiletto and it just didn't catch on. But I found with some careful tweaking and some volume it could sound pretty damm awesome. The trick was you had to set the treble really low and it came alive with volume.
 
Wonder what they do with 4x12 like this from Yankee stadium when Mariano Rivera was retiring?

They auction off those cabs and give the proceeds to charity.
