    How to push the power tubes on a LSS

    I am confused about how best to push the power tubes on my LSS. Is it better to keep the Output control up has high as possible and use the individual masters to throttle the volume, or set the masters high and use the Output control to throttle the volume? My goal is to use the 15W mode and...

    LSS 1-12 Speaker Again, What Next?

    Not the first time I've asked about this, but now I've tried a couple replacement speakers and have some experience with the different sounds speakers can have in this amp. First, about what I play and how I use the amp: I play mostly classic rock stuff through a MESA Lonestar Special usually...

    Anybody have this experience when changing speaker?

    I've got the LSS and have been wanting to try a different speaker, so finally got around to doing so. First I tried the Eminence Cannabis Rex, which really tightened up the bottom end but I didn't like what it did to the top end. From there I went to the Celestion Gold. Now, the Gold sounded...

    Weber Copper Cap Replacement for 5Y3GT Rectifier Tube in LSS

    Any using one of these in the LSS? What are your results, sound-wise and reliability-wise? I'm mostly concerned about any ill effects doing this will have on my amp long-term. Any info appreciated. It's getting expensive replacing the 5Y3 every couple of months. Thanks.

    Which EL84 is used in 5W mode?

    Anybody know which EL84 is used on channel 1 in 5W mode? Same question for channel 2? Let's call them 1, 2, 3 & 4, with 1 being the EL84 closest to the 5Y3. Thanks!

    What LSS channel do you use dirt pedals on?

    Hey, all. For as long as I've owed my LSS, I've run it this way: Channel 1 set for big clean sound with plenty of overhead. Set channel 2 for a slightly overdriven sound, then I use pedals to push it in various directions, including a BB Preamp, MI Audio Crunch Box, MI Audio Boost & Buff, and...

    Selling my LSS and getting the Carvin Legacy II?

    Hi, all. I've owned the MESA Lonestar Special for about a year and half. I like it well enough, but the idea of having 3 channels and MIDI is appealing. The LSS is great as a 2-channel amp and the clean channel works great for me. The dirt channel is OK for a slightly overdriven sound, then I...

    Problem with my LSS

    My LSS recently started misbehaving: sound cuts in and out, sometimes completely out but sometimes it just becomes faint and fuzzy sounding, then cuts either all the way out or all the way back in. When this happens, it happens to BOTH channels, and switching the effects loop to hard bypass the...

    Speaker Recommendation for LSS

    I've read through a lot of the speaker posts on the board, but none seemed to address exactly the advice I'm looking for. I play mostly classic rock and blues. I love the clean, Fenderish sound of the LSS channel 1 and don't want to lose that. I use the clean channel strictly clean with plenty...

    What's the trick to reinstalling the tube cover/shield?

    Hey, all. I decided to swap out one of my LSS preamp tubes and am having some trouble figuring out how to reinstalling the tube shield/cover. Is there a cutout in the chassis to match the two dimples in the shield? Or is it just a press fit with no key? Thanks for any help. Don't want to damage...

    Anyone know of a drive/clean footswitch mod for LSS?

    Can anyone point me to a mod for the LSS that puts the channel 2 DRIVE/CLEAN switch on a footswitch? I saw a post on Harmony Central where the guy had it somehow put on the stock MESA footswitch. He said he paid tech $100 to do it, but no details. Thanks for any pointers.

    Preamp/Boost/OD Pedals That Play Well With LSS?

    Hi, all. New to the board me. I did a quick search and didn't see a thread exactly like this so I thought I'd start one. Before I got the LSS, I had a Peavey Classic 30 and my board looked like this between my guitar and the amp input: Teese RMC2 Wah > Korg Pitch Black Tuner > Keeley compressor...
