...actually I made these settings mainly using my Gibson SG Standard ehehe :lol: Well, that's an interesting point: when I bought the amp I did the same thing: bass all the way down (especially on CH2), and the other pots in a less "drastic" position. Then I began to know my amp better and...

...my current settings... :wink:

...sure, I'll take a pic as soon as I can :wink:

...to my ears it sounds a lot more punchy and reactive at 50w on both channels...I'll try other configurations, but right now I think I'll keep this one. Anyway I agree...don't change your settings if you're not sure and especially before a gig! :wink:

...that's becoming my favourite setting too..50w on both channels and my Stiletto 8ohm cab plugged into the 4ohm jack of the head. I'm having the same experience these days...love the sound!!!

...I agree with Mork, LSC's CH2 sounds more "modern" to my ears; I use it for heavier stuff like alt rock or alt metal (just to give you an idea, something like Adam Jones' tones), while I prefer CH1 with BB and OCD for more "classic" crunch and lead tones. Anyway, the two channels sound very...

thanks a lot :wink:

Thanks a lot...so is it better to use the one with the longer thread (SC-L-12A) instead of the standard one (SC-12A)?

Hi, I'm having some troubles with my Lonestar Classic head input jack: sometimes - especially if I move the plug inside it - the sound disappears. I'll first try with a contact cleaner but in case I've to replace it, which would be the right one? Here's a little list, maybe it's one of them...

Well, it's Mesa stuff so it's a great amp for sure...other than that - as you said - it's just a matter of ears. I've personally chosen Lonestar because I like classic clean and crunch tones, but I also love powerful distortion for genres like rock, alt. rock, grunge (or whatever you wanna call...

GREAT playing man!!! :wink:

I don't know how they work in the effects loop, but these are some of the best delays in my opinion: Carl Martin Echotone Delay Diamond Memory Lane 2 Analog Delay Eventide Timefactor Delay (1, 2) Moog MF104z Analog Delay TC Electronic Nova Delay T-Rex Replica Delay If you like echo sounds...

I cannot talk about the sound because I haven't tried a LS combo, but considering versatility, weight and reliability I'd go with head + cab. I had 1x12'' combo, 2x12'' combo and now a LS head + 2x12'' cab and - in my opinion - combo is a good choice if you wanna stay in a single speaker...

UPDATE: I had the chance to try the OCD v3 with my LSC and I'm glad to say it sounds AMAZING!!! It's probably not the most natural overdrive, but it has an unique and powerful tone. I played it with my BB (set up like a CH1 boost / low gain crunch) right before in the chain and I'd say it gives...

...so there should be a sort of selection/test process (something similar to what Mesa does??) behind those kits, right? This is really interesting under many points of view, mainly because JJ tubes are great sounding!!!

...great man, thanks for sharing...this is one of those precious moments of pure musical ecstasy we always look for! :wink:

Hi all! :wink: Since I got my LSC head (used) I'm thinking about retube. All these Eurotubes/JJ kits are pretty interesting as well as other brands like Svetlana, GT, EH, Mullard etc., but I wonder: is it safe to put them in a fixed bias amp like Lonestar? Maybe Mesa's tubes sound flat...

...thanks a lot for your advices :wink: I've just bought a Fulltone OCD 'cause I've found a good offer for an used v3, the one I prefer listening to some samples around the net. I'll write my impressions as soon as I can try it with my Lonestar. Anyway I'm pretty sure I won't stop looking for...

Hi all, I'm searching for my definitive combination of gain boxes in order to achieve different distortion levels with my Lonestar Classic head+cab on channel 1. I already have the BB Preamp and it sounds absolutely GREAT, but I need something else to push the amp further and cover these sounds...

I found these vids pretty good and useful: Mesa Boogie Lonestar demo 1 - clean ch Mesa Boogie Lonestar demo 2 - overdrive channel 2 Mesa Boogie Lonestar demo 3 - hard rock, channel 2 Well, then there are the Andy Timmons vids of course, but I bet all of you watched them TONS of times! :wink:
