I sold my LSC2 because in a NYC apartment I was liquefying rodents in the walls in the 10 watt settings. I sold my LSC2 because in a NYC apartment my neighbors couldn't keep things on their walls when I played. I sold my LSC2 because in a NYC apartment it was too damned loud! I sold my LSC2...

I got my Lonestar sold. Loved that channel one, could never get channel two right. The guy that bought was super happy & I got enough to buy a Carvin VT16 112 and put some money away for the Martin HD 35 I have been GASsing for... Gonna miss you guys and the awesome support I ALWAYS got from...

Actually since I've been using it as a Princeton, I'm just going to replace it with one.

While getting my amp's manufacturing date I had an email conversation with Trent at Mesa. First, let me say this, the guy was absolutely awesome even though I gave him the wrong serial number the first time. He gave me some ideas on CH2 and I played with them for a while. I think the gist of...

Has anyone tried to "metal up" a LSC V2 with one of these boxes? My head is telling me I need the Throttle Box+EQ but my heart wants to just use the EQ. Head :: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/pedals/throttlebox-eq-pedal.html Heart ...

I've been struggling for years to get the volume down on my Lonestar. (Yellow Jackets etc) Ch 1 is (of course) perfect. It's amazing. However Ch2 is very very challenging. I've gone the Reeder Route, and back. I can make Ch 2 sound pretty close to CH 1 which is nice but it doesn't (to my...

(thank you Mick & Keef) So on of my never ever, ever used EL-34s blew last night. Lots of rattles, pops and general noise... clearly a tube. My initial thought is that I would swap the Yellow Jackets in the 10 and 50 watt positions because clearly I blew the 10 watt tube. I'm only ever in...

I have been struggling to get my LSC v.2 to stop melting walls. I have Yellow Jackets in 10 & 50 watt positions. I use the amp in 10 watt mode for both channels. These are very very loud amps. I'm controlling the volume at this point with distortion pedals!

2 JJs (10 & 50 watt positions) 2 Mesa 6L6 (100 watt positions) Mesa rectifier (5AUG?) Mesa 12AX7s Amp still melts walls.

I've got CH1 and CH2 set nearly identically. Drive is set to off and the effects loop is engaged. The biggest difference between CH1 & CH2 is the reverb setting. It's basically off on CH2. Essentially I switch to that channel for more complicated parts, heavier riffing and when delay is...

I am installing two Yellowjacket YJS into my Lonestar v2. After playing around with a few configurations I have "figured out" the following: Power Tube Position 1 (next to the rectifier) & Power Tube Position 4 with PTP 2 & 3 empty allow for 10/50/100 settings Power Tube Postion 2 & 3 with 1...

The Lonestar v2 has too many possible sounds. It NEVER ends. I touch the damned amp more than I touched my X Wife (ohhhh)... Crystal Clear Ridiculous Headroom No Headroom Crunchy Skank Country Spank Shreddy Fluid Muddy Water Old Zep New Zep AC/DC Liquifyingly Loud Heartbreakingly...

It's not that I don't love really expensive gear (see also my Mesa Boogie Lonestar) but I hooked a MXR Bad *** '78 into my LSC and it did the "punch over the growl" thing I have been looking for for a long time. It just brought the crunchy, compressed, sparkly sound I couldn't get with the amp...

I'm looking to cut down the wattage of my Lonestar Classic v2 (10/50/100) I've read many of the YellowJacket threads and Charles Reeder's recommendations. I currently have EL34s in all 4 slots. I am thinking of replacing 1 & 4 with YellowJackets and leaving 2 & 3 empty. I generally run in...

I'm wondering what TBB folks think about adding OD to Ch. 2 vs Ch. 1 with distortion. So basically would you add Overdrive to Ch. 2, or Distortion to Ch. 1?

I have not modded my Lonestar I run Ch. 1 with reverb around 12:00 and Ch. 2 at 08:00 I run it in True Bypass (no "Solo") I really like sound of Ch. 2 set with the Drive off (but usually have it on) So I'm thinking for a more distorted sound I could add overdrive to Ch. 2 (which would require 2...

You will want to look at the 12AX7’s. Specifically the V2 and V3 positions. You can locate their locations via the manual.

My LSC 1x12 weighs a ton and has more glass in it than a meth lab... get the head!

Yes, I have found the EL34s make my Clean Channel a touch dirty. However, it's a musical dirty. More responsive to the pick.
