I've had my LSC for a just few months now, and I'm still dialing in channel two. It doesn't help that I change guitars frequently, between a strat and a recently acquired LP. But today after practice I got some great compliments from other band members; our drummer said that out of all the guys...

"Could I buy new tubes and if something screws up just throw the Stock Mesa tubes back in, drive to Mesa and ask what wrong with my amp? " Too late, they're onto you now! They watch this forum religiously, just for questions like this one! :wink:

Congrats on your first gig with the amp! How much was the handtruck, if you don't mind me asking? I have a feeling that would be a great addition to the Lonestar I purchased recently. And not to hijack your thread or anything, but how does the solo function work for you? I didn't receive my...

Maybe they were sniffing the glue instead of applying it?

Well, I just *may* have found the problem. This morning I pulled out the speaker, and as I was pulling it out of the cab, I heard a rattle! I thought I was going to find a screw that had fallen out of something. When I turned the speaker over, a piece of glass fell out! It's curved, and looks...

brianf, that pic is extraordinary....but obviously, it's from shipping damage! :D

Thanks again, everyone. The more I think about it, it really does sound like a loose screw or something, definitely 'mechanical' sounding. Just didn't see anywhere that there could BE a loose screw other than the speaker mounting bolts. I sure hope it's something that simple! I'll let...

Really! I'll have to give that one a try also! Thanks! Man, ya learn something new every day.....

Thanks, I'm definitely going to try a different speaker in there, just to make sure! I won't be able to do this until Saturday though. :( I have a 12" Celestian, a different type, in another amp. It should at least narrow down the problem area.

I don't think it's tube rattle, it really sounds like it's coming right from the speaker itself. I tried tightening the mounting screws but it didn't make any difference. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions, looks like I'm in for a speaker reconing.

Ok, I turned the reverb off, and the rattle is still there, unfortunately.

I guess I haven't really tried it with the reverb turned off, but I did pull the reverb unit all the way out, setting it next to the amp, and the rattle was still there. (At first, I thought it might be coming from the reverb unit.)

Hello! I'm new to this forum and I'm the proud owner of a (like new) used Lonestar. I received it today, and immediately noticed a rattling sound when playing low notes, even on the clean channel and at relatively low volumes. It's more noticeable as the note fades away, and *seems* to be...
