Ya. That is pretty much my reading of things as well, although I wasn't clear on why this would be a mismatch. Maybe someone could enlighten on that point. I play enough that I do a tube swap once a year anyway so a little more wears it not the end of the world. If anyone else has...

As most of you know the Lonestar manual and a little piece by the output jacks on the back of the LSC mention using the 4 ohm output when you run both channels at 50 watts. I have done this for awhile but after reading that section of the manual again, decided to try using 8 ohms again. I...

Sounds like a great quick mod. I play a lot of the same music and have been messing with a lot of things, particularly the darker Ch1. Right now I have the treble cranked to about 3:30 or so to get more top end zing--sort of like an overdriven Fender. That helps a lot. What are your settings...

Sounds interesting. I know there are other people around here that have used the yellow jackets. There are a few old threads. You must be running in 50 watt mode then and using only those outer tubes. My assumption would be that you use all 4 in 100 watt mode when you play out. Any idea what...

I have a 70s Fender vibrolux that was converted to blackface specs last year and has been cleaned and biased, etc. professionally in the last year as well. I have been told different things about value. It has been used as a gigging amp (mostly for harp), but is in great shape cosmetically and...

I've read the manual several times. It's really something I am still working with (I've had the amp and have been gigging with it for about 4 years) though. So essentially you are saying that maybe the gain I would get by cranking the treble more might get me to where I want to go more then...

That does seem to happen...as the gain comes up, things do get more rounded off. Sparkle to me is is a bit more cut. I have run the treble up higher and that seems to change other eq settings. It's been tough finding the right balance. I guess the kind of tone I hear is more of a Freddie King...

I ride my guitar volume to bring grit in and out. Right now I have the gain cranked pretty high but don't have much sparkle it seems. I have the lows down almost off and the mids at about 10 or so. Treble is high (at over 1). I use a Les Paul and seem to have Channel two dialed in for an almost...

Not sure I can add a ton here, but I own a LSC and have played the ED a lot. Personally I have to say that it took awhile to find the sweet spot on the LSC. Like a lot of Mesa amps, LSs do take awhile to get a handle on. The ED is simpler in many respects, but honestly I found nothing there that...

Get a new drummer...I'm not kidding. There is no freaking need to hit that hard and if they do...use a plexi shield and if he doesn't like it show him the door. There are very few drummers who are worth much if they can't play musically and with a band--I don't care what kind of music you play...

I have the original version (50/100w) so that set up won't work for me. I'm a big guitar volume control rider, so I actually use the solo boost as a way of varying saturation on both channels. I have just really struggled in some venues with midrange either being lost or just plain becoming...

Hey all, Just curious what people tend to use and what their settings are. I have noticed a need to bump up mids when I use the tweed settings (11:00 or so). I love the spongy sort of feel with the lowered voltage. The full power setting is just so stiff unless I dump most of the mids though...

Hey all! Really thinking of making a speaker change in my stock Pig. I am not completely unhappy with what I have, but I have heard some clips of guys using Weber Blue Dogs and other speakers with Lonestars and they sounded really good. What are others using? How would you desribe the...

I couldn't see a listing for prices and options for headshells on the Saxon website. What did you pay? Also, can anyone tell me a bit more about the sound change from the stock Mesa speakers to Webers? I am really thinking of putting Webers in both my Lonestar and my silverface Vibrolux (the...

I do it all the time. I just go to File...add file to library (or add folder to library)...go to the folder the MP3 is stored and select it. Itunes brings it in automatically. I think there is even a way with the new itunes that you can set it so it automatically scans your hard drive for MP3s...

I am way into Heritage these days and am trying to save for a H-150. A friend has one of their small body semi hollow guitars (not sure on the model). It's am amazing instrument. Just joined the heritage owners club just to be connected and see what kinds of deals might be out there...

So...feedback from my 14 year old son and his school friend.... "Cool song man!" "I like the beat!" Personally I thought the mix was good. Singer was cool too. Is that you? Mark

I'd love to hear what the yellowjackets and EL84s do to this amp. Personally I don't go for the kind of clean sound you talk about. I use humbucker and P90 guitars and like a bit of "hair" most of the time for rhythm. My one trick to clean things up is to drop my volume way down and stomp on the...

True enough. Sadly it isn't about what it used to be in the 80s, it's about issues people have with instruments today. Someone here was putting down Epiphone guitars as "travesties." Ah...some are...no doubt about that. But I have played some that weren't bad at all. Acoustically they played...

A great sound to be sure and one I'm sure you can cop with your rig. Given some of the other sounds you mention (ABB, Mule, etc.). I use a Lonestar Ch2 to get close to what you describe. Your Gibby or PRS should do the trick. I haven't played Mark Vs a ton, but what I remember, some keys are...
