I had a problem with the solo button not working. It turned out that the solder connection where the switch is soldered to the board in the foot pedal came loose. I took it apart and re-flowed the solder and beefed them up a little bit and it was all good again. I also replaced the right angle...

Bringing back an old thread.... I had a problem with a rattling noise coming from my lonestar classic playing low notes or playing louder. I did a google search and found this thread. I had swapped out every tube and still had the rattle. I saw Brianf's pic of the speaker with the dust cap not...

Did you switch the drive/clean to clean by mistake? On clean, it is almost like channel one.... Drive adds another gain stage and makes the drive knob work to add more gain. The presence also makes a big difference. It can make notes crisp or smooth with sustain

I just checked this out last night at practice on my amp. The Drive and Thick switch do not seem to have any effect on my clean tone at all. I may hear a little pop while switching but it was barely audible. Did you buy your amp new? is there still a warranty on it? I bought mine used but I...

Sounds like it could be tubes. When was the last time you changed them?

Yea.... just unscrew from the top and screw the new one back in.... Pretty simple

I have owned a few early 70's Super Reverb amps over the years and I think my Lonestar Classic gives any Fender a run for their money. I was actually looking for a vintage Fender forms cleans and ended up with the lonestar. The different power settings and gain on the clean channel allow you to...

I am curious what your EQ Settings are..... I find it easier to dial in single coils with my LSC than humbuckers.

What version do you have? 10 watt power setting in tweed mode gets me there at lower volumes. Maybe try some higher gaiyn preamp tubes in v1 and v2 also. Another thing to note if you read his comments... He has a Duncan jb in the bridge of that Tele. You won't get that gain with those...

Is the clean channel in 100 watt mode and channel 2 in a lower power setting? Maybe it is a power tube. Try the clean channel in a lower wattage setting or the same setting as the dirty channel if they are different. if that don't work try replacing v1 preamp tube. I would think that if it...

Are you using reverb on both channels? If you are only using it on the clean channel...... try swapping the reverb tube.

If the song is in G major.... you can play E minor for the solo. Its all the same notes

I would say the first preamp tube V1 would be the clean channel.

Yea.... I would definitely have to play em both side by side. I am just trying to find out if it is even worth the time to check it out. I dont want to have the guy bring his amp up to even check it out if it is not a fair even trade and if the Mark IV will not do classic rock well. I was...

Well I am probably 50/50 between the two channels. The clean channel is incredible. I like to set it a little dirty. I turn the gain up till it starts to get fat on the clean channel.... Maybe 1:00 with a tele or strat. The dirty channel I set the drive and gain around 3:00 and I still need an...

I have a Lonestar Classic 2x12 v2.0 and someone wants to trade me a Mark IVA short combo with the EV speaker for it. I love my lonestar but am thinkin. the Mark iv may be a little more versatile for my passing rock cover band. My questions are...... 1. Is is an even up trade? 2. Can the Mark...

Does it crackle in the drive channel if you turn on the reverb? I would suspect a preamp tube. Maybe v1 for the clean channel or the reverb tube if it only does it with reverb on

I will have to check some out. Since I got a Lonestar, I actually take less gear out to a gig. I don't know how Andy could need more. I am down to just amp, overdrive and a guitar. sometimes I put a delay in the loop if I am in the mood. I can cop just about any tone I need with that setup and...

I wasn't really impressed with the tone in that video. I like Andy Timmons tone but that wasn't the best. Maybe it is just the recording..... or maybe the new amp?

Maybe time for tubes. I would check preamp first. Get a known good preamp ube and swap it in and out of each position and see if it goes away each time you swap
