Has anyone actually measured the minimum/maximum resistance of the two potentiometers being swapped? I'm aware that some people quoted values from a schematic that indicate a same maximum resistance and then thought the same sound could be obtained with and without the mod. Obviously, others...

Congratulations, beautiful guitar. Same shade of blue as my circa 1990 PRS.

Grandma's Music in Albuquerque.

IIRC, the Fulltone site has instructions for modifying crybaby's and some other wahs to true bypass.

I think that is a reasonable choice. For myself, I choose a LSS and an ACE so I could stereo power-amp the effects loop and switch preamps with a GCX audio switcher. But, for an single amp, I think the Roadster has a great range of tones.

I traded in my Studio 22+ for a LSS and an Ace combos. Perhaps not too surprising, but my old Studio 22+ was purchased within 15 minutes after being placed in the show room!

Glad to hear that you liked the sound at your gig. I've been pleased with Ace, but I do keep the treble turned lower than I do on my LSS.

The adjustable Q on the Dunlop rack is very nice. I have the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe ( http://www.fulltone.com/CDW.asp ) which is less adjustable, but does have 3 different modes.

The Fulltone wah has full bypass (and sounds great when in use!). I've replaced my Dunlop with the Fulltone and am quite pleased.

Only in 5W setting, both channels.

Very cool, seems like a nice way to implement a softly opening/closing switch.

I exchanged the LSS for a new LSS - it works quite well. When I was there, the dealer had some LSC combo's in stock as well. I really liked the LSC sound as well and strongly considered getting it instead of the LSS. But, in the end, they both sounded great and the LSS combo is more portable --...

That's great news!! My dealer has a new LSS in stock and offered to swap, so I'll go and do that -- but I'll keep this in mind in case I have a problem like it in the future. In fact, I'm planning on doing a tube swap on both the LSS and Ace and I'll keep the original Mesa Boogie tubes around in...

Thanks for the information, Mike. I did consider than LDR meant light dependent resistor but was unsure how they'd be used for switching inside the amp. Does the amp have internal LEDs that shine and open-up the LDR?

Sorry, Mike, what do you mean by LDR?

Thanks for the additional information, pjlcc14. I hope the tube swap works out well. If so, I'll probably order a replacement set for the LSS and Stiletto Ace to keep on the shelf for future failures. I've seen a few posts about suggested tubes that people like better than the Mesa Boogie tubes.

GeoBull: Thanks very much for the input. A LSC was my first choice, but the dealer doesn't stock them and said it could take a few weeks to months to get one. It's nice to hear the two Lone Stars go well together.

Thanks for the input, pjlcc14. How long had your LSS been used before you had the problem? I got mine new in a box from the dealer and had played about 10 hours over 4 days with it before I lost the 5W output. My dealer has another LSS and will swap amps, but with two reports of the same problem...

Thanks for the link, Simon. Yes, the problem is the same as on that link including the random, soft scratching sound (which sounded a bit like a bad guitar cable, but I couldn't reproduce the sound with flexing my instrument cable). Ducky, I don't notice any change in volume or tone in the...

As previously posted, I added a second Mesa/Boogie (Stiletto Ace) to my Lonestar Special creating a Stereo System with a G-Force and GCX Audio Switcher. However, after adding to the Lone Star Special I noticed the 5 watt setting on Ch. 1 and 2 no longer works (it is silent) whereas the 15 and...
