    My New LSS is Going Back to GC Today - :(

    I've gotten some weird noises out of my amp after bringing them home from the store a preamp tube was the culprit wondered if these tubes are this testy, how do people tour with tube amps, then again, I wasn't really letting the amp cool down, it was just "I'll take it"...grab it and go...

    LSS vs Express...

    I like the 1x10 for high gain for indoors, the clean on a 10 inch speaker is "different". The 1x10 is no match for an LSS, but plugging it into a 1x12 makes a great combination. I went for the 1x10, cuz it's easy to transport as a head would be and it's only 50 bucks more, the 1x10 is actually...

    LSS vs Express...

    I own both the LSS and a 5-25 I like the LSS better for clean, and some settings I like the 5-25 better for gain, versatility and transport the setting I like better on the LSS are independant power settings per channel, and the 5 watt clean on the LSS is my favorite I can go 5 watt on ch1...

    I test drove the new Express 5/25 !!!!!!

    You can make each channel contour on/off/footswitch so if you want the footswitch to control contour only on gain you setnthe gain contour to footshitch, and have the the other channel to "on" of "off" which is what I do, Channel 1 is contour always on, channel 2 is contour footswitch and the...

    I test drove the new Express 5/25 !!!!!!

    Definately does Rock, I'm not Joe Metal, so I prob shouldn't comment The biggest diff between these and the F-50 is the 5 watt and adjustable contour

    I test drove the new Express 5/25 !!!!!!

    you test drove one, and did not leave the store with one ???? my dealer had one of each, both were gone within 2 hours I got to test drive both, I took the 5-25, perfect home amp the 5-50 was gone an hour later The 10 inch speaker gives it a lot of bite, I also plugged into my Deluxe Reverb...

    what Barry said....my dealer was spot on

    The Express is Already Here !!!!

    Spent a bit of time with it in the store, need more time at home but first impressions The distortion channel is a screamer and a half, the Contour does put it over the top,sustains endlessly the Contour is adjustable, you dial it in Can dial in great lead tones The clean sounded great, warm...

    The Express is Already Here !!!!

    Wow, that was fast My local dealer just got in a 5/25 1x10 and a 5/50 1x12 Both extremely versatile, from 5 watt clean to screaming overdrive, could dial in a boat load of tones the 5x25 has a 10 inch speaker, but sounds big has nice 5 watt soft clean, up to F-30 like screamer but voiced...

    Trouble getting a good lead sound with the LSS

    Interesting, I just started ganging overdrives together, have a Blue Driver fed by a Keely Java Boost, put my Mashall over the top I love this amp as a home amp, would not be my first choice for a gig amp Very curious why no Fender... Anyway, my recommedation, go to the nearest music store...

    Trouble getting a good lead sound with the LSS

    I like this amp quite a bit Really feel it shines with single coils also I set channel 1 for clean 5 watts, awesome tone I set channely 2 for slightly overdriven "tone as Thick as Texas" An occasion overdrive to bump it up a little and thats where it really shines I have gotten a pretty...

    I've finally joined the ranks..

    if you got, or are getting an F-50, make sure to get at least 20% off they are discontinued, and my local dealer has already marked them down GC will match

    thinking of trading in the F-30 for a LSS

    I agree with Troy, except I switched out the stock speaker with a Celestion Blue, added a whole new dimension, and a lot of high end sparkle the C90 favors the gain channel, other speakers are optimal for the clean am currently running a Weber Blue Dog 30Watt in there, it's not broken in jet...

    Lonestar 8 or 4 ohms~difference in tone?

    I've switched speakers and cabs around a bit with this amp, and it also depends on the ohm rating of the speaker the effect it will have I wouldn't call it a tone diff, I noticed more of a difference in punch I once called Mesa, cuz I did not understand the ohm charts in the back, they don't...

    Played the Express 5:25 at NAMM today

    Think I should retract my post a little I spent some time with my LSS after reading about attenuators on another site. Went into detail about power tube distortion.... anyway, I relize my settings were probably not ideal, I was maxing the gain and drive, and had the master barely on mainly...

    Dealers can discount Mesa's ???

    My guess would be because the LSS, 5-25 and 5-50 are all 5 watt and there are not 10 watt class A amps Got the feeling your guess would be that it would end the LSS I think the LSS is a different amp altogether, and I like it better than the Classic. If I want Fender Twin tone, I turn on my...
