Ok well I still havent finished that recording, but Im working on it, just thought I might fill you in on what Im finding so far. Ok anyhow I've spent a good 10 hours on this amp between yesterday and today and I've really dug into this EQ stack and here's what Im finding. First off I've...

Very epic reply, sounds like almost like a famous speech, and very well appreciated. For me I had no idea how timmons got his lonestars the way he did. I am by no means a high gain player or shredder, most of my heaviest stuff is timmons oriented and most of the other stuff I play is funk, blues...

Forgot to mention the EQing I did, I pulled 200-1000 back about 8-11db and there was a 24db spike at 6.4khz which I pulled down by about 20db. The upper mids around 1.8-3.6khz were all boosted about 5db. It sounded fantastic with this setting, the tone stack on the amp was treble - 9, mids -...

Hey DJW, I'd first off like to say that you've helped me out with the lonestar quite a bit and I have tremendous respect for you in this forum. If anyone tried the trick, its basically messing around with the tone stack. Second I would like to say --- If anyone bought this because of andy...

Yeah my strat does the noise thing when its near a computer, but I've noticed that my lonestar is considerably quieter when I play without the pedalboard; I can crank the gain and drive maxed and no noise with the guitar direct and keep in mind my studio monitors get god awful 60 cycle hum that...

Ok well anyways, I posted a topic on the lonestar a few days ago, completely disregard it, it seems my amp has a little devil in it. I was playing my strat tonight and it seems that the lonestars putting out certain notes an octave below it, it was particularly on the E and Eb. Anyhow I did both...

I did the first reeder mod and I decided to wait and see if I liked it better, so far I've found its alot more open sounding, but the top end is still too gritty for me. Has anyone done the mid mod, but put the gain and master pots back to their original positions and heard the sound ? I love...

Congratulations, I had the same experience with their gold pin kit and KT-77's in my lonestar; the KT's are a fantastic option if you like the EL's but need better low end. I got what I wanted, Im happy as can be. Congrats !

For me it depends on the string, but I've been using Kurt Mangans 10-42 pure nickel on my les pauls which lasts for weeks without rusting after playing three hours a day give or take, every day. I usually wipe my strings down, but sometimes I forget. On my strat I use the same brand but wound...

Ok well this thread has quite a few views, but no ones talking. Anyone else try the experiment and have any luck ? I'm going to try the Reeder Mod #2 and see if this solves my problem, I've had very good luck pushing the masters way up while using the effects loop and it really adds some upper...

Yeah I put the KT-77's in too. I love them, I think they're great, but I came from mesa 6l6's so its not really fair to compare them to JJ's KT's. However, they tightened up my sound, they added upper mids, so they are really much clearer sounding and the bass while still vintage and saggy is...

Nahh, just the drive knob. The amp its self is very, VERY midsy. I just meant that the DRIVE knob sounds like its kind of scooped. If you turn your gain way down and drive way up, listen to the difference in EQ. The difference is about the same as what you can do with the actual EQ knobs, its...

Hey Fox, from what I've heard the LSS seems to react the same way the classic does to the mod. It will sound more open and breathier. Since the Lonestars' preamps are indentical the mod should theoretically work the same way. The mod is really easy to do and takes maybe 45 minutes, dont worry...

Dont get me wrong, its one of my favorites, but with the overdrive I just can't seem to get a good high gain sound from the amp. It was never built for high gain, so what I usually do is set the drive for my rythym sound and boost it with my SD Twin Tube classic. I just found the high gain...

You know I have a lonestar classic and I've my trouble with it. To me the clean channel was far more worth keeping it than the mediocre overdrive selling it off. Here's the thing with the Lonestar; the overdrive isnt bad, the EQ is! What I've found from messing around with the lonestar is that...

Bogner actually makes a Stereo Tube COMBO amp. Its a 1x12 I believe. Anyhow the whole amp is tube driven, how bout that ;-) It has two speakers on the side of the amp, 6 or 8's I believe and a main 12" for the clean tone (fx's wise, not overdrive/distortion etc... ) The side speakers are tube...

I love the 5751's but I dont think you will loose much noise with them in those positions. In my experience I've really only had luck with them in V1 to drop gain intentionally and in the phase inverter to lower the amps overall output a bit. Keep in mind that when you use the 5751 you will...

Thats a pretty cool rig, dual 2x12's, that sounds like it really pumps. Hows the low end from that stack ? ~ Sean

Yeah it's Andy Timmons' "Resolution" which is either played with the lonestar's overdrive with his volume at about half open on his guitar, or using his BB preamp into the clean channel, which is really what it sounds like to me. Either way its a great song and although he doesnt play the mesa...

Im looking to upgrade my bass rig, I currently have GK 1001rb 2x10 combo which is ok, but still not what Im looking for. Any opinions on what mesa's most versatile rig would be ? Im not worried about cash, weight as long as its not 150 pounds (because its going up a flight of stairs or two)...
