I wouldn't consider speakers to be "broken in" until there is at least 20 hours no them, and they will continue to mellow out from there.

Did a similar thing with my roadster. I have since sold it, but it made it much easier to read. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=70096

I got a new 2x12 Vintage style cab from Avatar. I got it with the Avatar / Fane H75 and M65 speakers mixed. It sounds really good through my LSC. It is the first time that I liked my strat through channel 2 of the LSC. I was able to get some nice tones form channel 2. I really bought the...

After some deliberation, I've decided to sell my Roadster. I would prefer a local sale if possible. I live in NJ just outside of NYC and I am willing to ship it for someone on the board. I purchased it from Sweetwater and kept the packaging. It has a quad of JJ KT-66 tubes which are...

That's the right choice. I just started playing my LSC over my Roadster and there is something about Channel 1 at 100 watts.

I have it on Craigslist. I am looking to downsize. Happy to let it go for $400 to somebody local on the board. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/msg/5499313800.html

Interesting point on the open back / ported aspect. I bet that helps the articulation of the roadster a bit and keeping the bottom end from getting flubby. I rehearse through the 4x12 and bring my Lonestar 2x12 combo cab for most gigs just because it's easier to transport and better for most...

Looks great. Enjoy

I am also intrigued by this for a 2x12. Currently I have a V30 / GH12-30 mix in a 4x12. Overall I'm happy with the sound and happy with the increased bottom end that the GH12-30 brings compared to an all V30 configuration. Looking to downsize to a 2x12 and I was thinking that this would make...

Not all 4 tubes need to be matched. You need to have a matched pair in the two inside tubes and a matched pair in the two outside tubes. That being said, you can change out the inner set of tubes without changing the outer set of tubes with no problems and vice-versa. It is helpful to change...

I couldn't take it myself. I decided to split them apart and make life more bearable. Best thing I ever did. I made a custom head shell from maple and just use the 2x12 cab with the guts missing. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59571 Making an extra trip to the car doesn't...

I've tried both ways. Channel masters way up and Output set at 9:00 and then Output set to noon and the channel masters set to a level that balances each channel with the other channels. I prefer the latter method. It sounds better to my ears. I also run CH1 and CH2 at 100 Watts (diode) and...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Although I'm technically inclined in many areas, I never took an electronics class and have a rudimentary understanding of electronic circuits. That being said, I was able to follow your explanation so it was quite clear. Much appreciated.

I've noticed this with CH3 in vintage as well. Is it more pronounced in tweed mode?

Thanks LithiumZero. I'm getting a nice pushed clean through CH2 in Brit mode (believe it or not) so I'm primarily interested in the crunch sound with tweed. Looking forward to trying it out. My roadster rig stays at our rehearsal space so I don't get a ton of time to experiment.

I know that plenty of members love the tweed setting on CH1. I'm curious to know what settings you might recommend for various styles of music. I've played with tweed a little bit before but I wasn't bonding with it and since have abandoned it. I'm thinking about experimenting again and...

i I play channel 2 a lot and love it through my Les Paul. The guitar has a darker sound so through CH2 it sounds good; slightly pushed. I like it but I play classic rock and not metal. My take is that the most people that play metal tend to dislike channel 2 but I could be wrong. That...

Just wanted to update my Channel 2 experience. I recently dropped a set of P90's into a stratocaster. My first set of P90's and I wasn't sure what to expect. I found that on CH2 of my Lonestar, I can get great clean to mean just by playing with the knob on my guitar. I have the gain settings...

Yeah, on channel 3 I keep it low, maybe 10:00 on vintage and on channel 4 I have it on 11:00 voiced for modern. I play classic rock and use channel 3 for rhythm and use channel 4 for some leads. For my purposes, 2:00 gain on either channel would sound terrible. Perhaps others can weigh in on...

I have rolled some preamp tubes in my Roadster. I did a cocktail from dougs tubes almost exactly like Bandit203 mentioned in his post, but kept the Mesa 6L6's. I later made some changes based on recommendations from Eurotubes in this post...
