Well.... when I buy used amps, I expect to have to change all tubes. It sounds like a preamp tube gone bad but I would just replace em all and you know you have a good gig worthy amp. You could try just swapping V1 and V2 and see if it fixes the gain channel. If it fixes it, I would trash...

I point the bass and treble at each other and the mids straight up with humbuckers. Teble 3:00 Mids 12:00 Bass 9:00 Presence between 11:00-1:00 Gain and Drive about 1:00. I also like to run it in 10 watt mode in the drive channel if I can.

Yea.... I think I am getting the hang of it now. I got some good tones out of my LP Studio at rehearsal last night.

Maybe you have your pickups too high on the strat. Try fretting the last fret on each E string and put a nickel between the pickup and string on the high E and 2 nickels distance on the low side as a starting point. Then make small adjustments to adjust between pickups to even out volume

I would use an OD as a boost. Keep the gain low and turn the level all the way up

Do I have to use Mesa Tubes when I decide to retube my Lonestar? Will it be ok to pop in other brands with no problems? I have read using other tubes will most likely be very cold on the bias. If this is the case, is there anyone that sells other brand tubes tested and rated to work good in a Mesa?

I guess I will play with it some next rehearsal and see how it sounds at 12-1:00 in a band setting at band levels. I learned quickly with this amp not to make settings changes at home. I get it sounding great at home and then it sounds horrible in the band mix. It is a great amp though.... I...

No I dont run anything in the loop now. I tried a Carbon copy delay in the loop and didnt care for it much. I dont really use delay that much. I do like having loop engaged so I can use the solo feature. I am trying to get away from effects. I think with the LSC, I can get away with going to a...

I have seen people say to set the loop output around 1:00 for a good tone. I find I like it all the way up. I compare all the way up with the true bypass tone and it seems almost identical to true bypass when it is all the way up. Where do you guys set the output.
