I've read a few comments that said "the reason to buy a LSS is pedals are unnecessary". And, "it would be a shame to run effect pedals through a LSS". I have a Barber Tone Press on the way for the LSS I just purchased. And I might end up buying the Barber LTD if I can't dial in the low gain...

Smart move, waiting for the LSS. This amp was made for Tele's and Strat's. I just finished a home, side by side comparison on the the LSS and LSC with the 10 watt option. I took the LSC back. As far as the custom red LSC on ebay? To each their own. That is one ugly custom color. :lol: Peace, Res

Did you call customer service at Mesa/Boogie? I've heard from several people how knowledgeable and helpful they are.

I totally agree with your assessment of why you would go with the LSS. I feel the same way. That's why I was asking the question. I was under the impression that you can pull some really nice low gain crunch out of both of these amps. I"m going with the LSS over the LSC. I took the LSC back...

UPDATE! A friend and I spent a couple hours last night and about three hours this morning comparing both amps. What I had said in the original post about "The LSS is a little better than the LSC when using a strat or tele. But, the LSC is not far enough off to make this the only reason to buy...

I'm thinking about buying a Barber LTD Pedal for the Lone Star. I'm in the middle of auditioning both the LSS and LSC. Both are great amps. Is it necessary to go with a OD pedal like the Barber LTD with either of these amps? Can a similar low gain OD be achieved on either of these amps on their...

Joe, my only problem is I can only afford to buy one of these amps (for now) and it's going to be very, very difficult to figure out which one to keep. I was told I could keep the amp of my choice and bring back the other. They're the same price. I just bought an American Deluxe Strat and a...

I stopped in the music store where I bought the Lone Star Special to buy a Monster Cable. I talked to the owner about the LSS I bought and told him how much I loved it. I told him the only draw back I've run into so far, is my Gretsch Nashville with TV Jones PU's doesn't sound as good as it did...

I have the opportunity to by a used Barber Tone Press for $100. The one question no one had directly answered about the Tone Press is, can you get a decent attack without going inside and tweaking the Attack? I'm talking about something good enough to do a little "Chicken Pick'n". If you...

I'm still settling in with my LSS. I've been reading a lot of threads here and other forums about this amp. I'm almost sure I'm going to buy a compression pedal. It might be the only pedal I end up getting. I'd like to hear from those of you that are using a compression pedal with your LSS or...

I've been reading reviews for different compression pedal reviews and the Keeley's keep coming up as one of the best. I own a LSS and looking for a compression pedal. I'm like a lot of people who think this amp is better suited for single coil guitars. But, do you think a Compression pedal would...

I just bought the Lone Star Special and went with the 1x12 model. I'm going to order an extension cab and was wondering if anyone was using the 4x10 cab with the 1x12 LSS. I'm looking for versatility and though this might work out well. I might be way off base here. Should I stick with the...

Well, I brought home the Mesa Lone Star Special (1x12) today. I'm trying to dial in my Cleans for Channel one and I'm almost there. I will say this, the DeVille is easier to dial the tone in, but it's really a one dimensional amp if you throw out the Drive and more Drive channels. I decided to...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I played my American Deluxe Strat through a Lone Star Special 112 yesterday and I've found the amp I've been looking for my whole life. I've been using a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 for the past three years. It's a great amp, but it's way to loud for home use. I don't...
