    Problem with Lonestar Special- No Sound

    1. Switch off the fx-loop, there’s a small toggle switch on the back panel for loop in or hard bypass ! Any difference ? 2. Plug guitar lead into fx send and then adjust channel volume, not the master volume! Any difference ? 3. With the amp on at reasonably high levels, turn up the reverb...

    Lonestar Effects Loop Buffer

    You’re right about the screw around, but fortunately I’ve owned the original since new and no problems. Only easy tips I picked up off Andy Timmons, was run the fx-loop level at around 1 O’clock, and try some tube swapping. I’ve used JAN5751’s and 7025S with great improvements, the 5751’s liked...

    New LSC owner needs some info

    Yes it’s the outer pair ! Footswitch popping, not on mine and it’s one of the first (Combo), owned since new and I do run the two channels at different watt levels. Also no pop when kicking solo mode. Also no difference when in either tweed or full on mode The only thing I have done to the...

    LSC with EL84's vs the LSS.Also 6V6

    I’ve had both of the LSC and LSS, when they were first launched, and I still have the LSC. I’ve never got on with the tonality of EL84’s, unlike yourself . . That’s the joy of being different. But, in response to your enquiry regarding different valves in the LSC, I have 6V6’s , Brimar and...

    What tubes are you using in your Lonestar Classics?

    Philips JAN 6L6WGB's or Genalex KT66's, but I did install an adjustable bias pot alongside tester points

    To check, have you tried disconnecting the pedal and simply use the front panel switch ?

    Very "sterile" sounding Lonestar Classic

    How've you got on with it? I'm not on here very often, but have you tried 6L6WGB's JAN type? I run 5751 JAN's in V1,V2 and V3. Very chimey, lots of spank, nice mids and not sizzling on the top end. I did also fit a rear panel mounted bias adjuster with tester points for each pair that gives me...

    Special vs Classic - clean sound & headroom

    I've both 1x12 combos, each tweaked in different ways. You won't get the clean or headroom out of a LSS that the LC gives.

    Output Transformer

    I notice it's an old question, and also mines a Lonestar Classic, but I swapped out all my transformers (except the reverb) for Mercury Magnetics and have been very pleasantly surprised by the change in the nature of the amp. I have gained a better interaction amongst the tonestacks, not that...

    Fx loop level

    I notice this is an old posting, but if you've not solved the problem, this may help. I've both LSS & LC and their loop levels are never higher than 1 O'clock and my effects pedals set their output levels. I use delays via my loops and even if my channel volumes are less than noon I don't have a...

    Lonestar Special

    :D Had mine for 8 years still on original rectifier valve, changed preamp valves day one for Mullards, overrated, and they're still strong, had one power valve set replacement in all that time. It gets cranked high, usually 3 o'clock, and works a lot. Only problem I've had, which is not...

    Roadster combo Mic'ing ideas

    Try with and without castors, also sat on piece of carpet or not, makes a difference to bottom. Also height of combo i.e. on stage floor or raised . . . raised you'll get more of it but increase chance of vocal mic bleed. Experiment, you've time to get it right and only minutes in front of a...

    Roadster combo Mic'ing ideas

    :idea: Directly at front of speaker . . 90º to axis with approx 1/2" clearance from cloth, that's simply to avoid any fabric/cabinet vibration. Place one at centre of speaker dome and one off centre at mid cone. EQ centre one to give mild emphasis to highs and off centre to bring in a little...

    Tone Tubby?

    I've used, in the past, Jensen Jet Blackbird 100watt alnico pairs, and they are very huge and fit no problem. I also had them in the 2x12 open back extension cabinet without problem. So my answer is yes they'll fit! Was I happy with the sound? No! Loaded now with Eminence Commonwealth 12's and...

    Lonestar Special Problems

    Rectifier burnout yes!! Power Valve burnout yes!! Resistors usually simply create noise levels and bs tone, the carbon type more problematic I can run mine with channel volumes at around 3 o'clock if not using the loop/master volume and with loop in and set at about 1 o'clock I'll run the...

    Lonestar Classic crackling - Need help troubleshooting

    :evil: They're not basically all the same!! Did the tech check the voltage output of the EHX 6L6's to ensure they meet the requirements of the nonadjustable bias Boogie. Incorrect voltage, too cold or too hot, can result in anything from poor wooly sound to burnout :!:
