Very good. Thanks for the feedback folks! I checked out the Tube Depot. I quite like their Tube Cube cases. Pretty cool!

I apologize if this has already been answered before, but I've done some preliminary searching and couldn't acquire my answer. My question is: Is this mod okay to be done on all three versions of the Lone Star (Classic, Classic with Duo-Class and Special)? By the way, good job to the poster of...

Hey there folks. Just wondering, has anyone tried the Celestion AlNiCo Gold speakers with the Lone Star Special? If so, good or bad?

If you look at the pictures of his "Chaos in Motion" live rig on his website (http://johnpetrucci.com/images/gear/IMG_0888.jpg) with the Mark IV's, you'll see that the power section has two 6L6GC's in the center sockets and two EL-34's in the outer sockets. All four of these tubes are...

Hello everybody! Recently, I've been informed that swapping power tubes in a Mesa/Boogie amplifier with non-Mesa/Boogie tubes is fine, so long as the performance band of the replacement tubes is right for the amp. Well, I've recently come across a website; http://www.thetubestore.com that...

Excellent, thanks folks!

Thanks folks! That's basically all I needed to know. From the website, I can tell that it has everything I want/need from a features perspective, I love the simplistic layout, and that dark green case is sexy! As long as users have found them to be well built, reliable and the tonal quality...

Hey folks! I am definitely not a tube expert - it would be more appropriate to refer to me as a tube noob...in fact, it wasn't until I read through the owner's manual for my Dual Rectifier Roadster that there was such a thing as bias settings and so forth. I'd like to know the following: 1)...

Well, I'll admit that - the part about them not doing it in conjunction with their best lead tones as a result of the shared EQ controls. Now, don't get me wrong, I would not dare slander any Mesa clean tone (yes, I do find that even the 2 channel Dual Rectifier Solo Head was capable of...

Thanks folks! I really appreciate the feedback. And, yes, this board is great!!!

Any thoughts/opinions you'd like to share with a guy looking for a quality delayed ambient lead tone primarily, with the occasional use of doubled/echoed clean lines (Dream Theater's Lifting Shadows off a Dream or Symphony X's Candlelight Fantasia)?

I'm going to have to go with the Mark V. I've always loved the Mark Series amplifiers, especially the Mark IIC+ and the Mark IV, however, I was always a bit put off by them because of the shared tone controls and the (in my opinion) oddball control layout of the Mark IV (I have a problem, and I...

Thank you for posting! I quite enjoyed that. I once had a Roadster 2 x 12" combo. Nice amp really. It does exactly what Mesa/Boogie claims: Dual Rectifier heavy tones, Lone Star clean tones, much more simple to use than the Road King, and the fact that every channel has it's own dedicated...

Well, technically, John used an EL-34 loaded Marshall rack-mount power amp in conjunction with a Mesa/Boogie Triaxis only on "Metropolis Part I", so, with that in mind, it wouldn't be ridiculous to assume that a Stiletto Deuce II, which is essentially the same thing as the aforementioned setup...

Well, I must admit that's bloody impressive! Good work!

Alright, so, electronically speaking, it is without a doubt a late 1979/early 1980 model then?

Hello folks. I'm looking into doing a restoration of my dad's Silverface Fender Deluxe Reverb, however, as he bought it used in a private sale sometime back in 1982, we're not sure of the year of it, or, more importantly, the circuit that's in it. The only thing we know for sure is that...

Hello there, I'm looking into acquiring myself a tasty new Mark V amp head, and I was wondering which speaker cabinet I should use with it. I'm looking mostly for a tight, focused shred tone, much like John Petrucci's. I'm seeing that he uses the Mark V with the Stiletto 4 x 12" cabinets. A 4...
