Thanks for the response! Yeah what you said was my one hesitation - that it might run just a bit hot. I'll check out the Boogie site and order up an NOS 5Y3. Thanks again! raf

The drop/fade was happening in all modes but I play in 30 watt mode only. I was troubled because I was only aware of issues with 5/15W mode due to rectifier issues. I couldn't make heads or tails of intermittant power fade issues, and I certainly couldn't practice with a band or gig that way...

(I can't find the post I skimmed using the search function)... I read some LSS owners are doing that. Anyone used a 5U4 with no issues? I like the idea, tired of blown recifier tubes - and the occasional fuse... raf

I want to thank members of this board for posting on the 30 watt loss of power problem! My LSS 1 x12 kept losing power and became relegated to a home practice amp. The local (and excellent) Mesa tech had tried to resolve the issue but it was intermittent and never occurred at his shop. Well...

Just got a Les Paul Goldtop Classic! The pickups are eq'd (if that's the right term) a little higher than my LP Standard Burstbuckers (which i love)...voila! Just what I was aiming for! I wanted the thickness of humbuckers with a little more edge, something between my LP and Strat. I was...

Cool! Wish I could hear it! That goldtop sure is pretty! Goes well with the LSS. There's a used one here in austin but i have no more money :( ---I did just pick up my first goldltop (a classic) off ebay, came in today. been playing for hours on my LSS 4x10...my fingers are aching...

Guys, thanks for your suggestions..I ended up ordering a BB, due in part to their excellent on-line demos and of course this board.

starting to sound like a line revamp?

thanks guys! no one sells the red snapper in Austin so I'm gonna give Guitar Rez a call tommorrow and see if they have a BB in stock.

hmmm...we're a forum of boogie fanatics...I wonder how this will turn out?

thanks! The BB keeps comings up...I'll look into it.

man Monsta that reverb has you ticked. hopefully they fix things they hear about...but as was posted previously I also don't see them mixing product lines in the gain department...think of all the ticked off musicians on this board alone-as well as a drop in sales..but having pristine cleans...

yes, the Guitar Center on Anderson in Austin. went there yesterday to try out the Expres 5:50, Stilletto Ace and Lonestar Classic.

4 channel with Lonestar cleans and reverb but with Mark series crunch/lead voicings...what else could it be?

Okay my LSS setup is about there. For channel 1 I have a nice Waddy Watchel (spelling?) type crunch and on Channel 2 I have a real nice brown sound type crunch going. What I want is to take the channel 2 sound up a notch for slighty higher gain soloing. Anything you recommend in particular...

thanks! that's pretty much what I'm looking for (my favorite Triaxis peramp is the lead 1 red vintage), but found out yesterday that Mesa discontinuing the Mark IV series is true. I guess I'll have to keep my eye out for a used one in good condition.

On HBO Dave Stewart interviews Ringo and at one point for a very short time David plays Beatle guitar intros and Ringo follows on drums. Dave has an LSS 4x10 next to what looks like a Maverick. He gets on a 12 string Rickenbacher and starts Ticket to Ride. Tons of chime. raf

Are those the new 4 channel amps? Do you have to worry abut heat issues, (reliability) etc?

I use an SKB pedalboard that allows you to route some effects to the amps effects loop and some effects to the front of the amp. I used the shortest cables I could make to connect effects on the board, but I use long cables from the board to the guitar out of necessity (front of stage to...

Thanks. I was trying a Stilletto Duece at Musicmakers. I'll go back and re-try with those ideas in mind. As far as my crunch description, getting in the ballbark of the bands I described is fine. I'm not looking to copy a sound as much as use similar settings as a basis for mine. I tend...
