Hi, I have 4 wheels from an old Lonestar Special 1x12 combo I sold years ago. I am going to use them on a Zilla Super Fatboy cab I have. Its very similar in shape to a 2x12 rectifier horizontal cab, just a little taller. I picked up some mounting plates for the wheels, but before I drill some...

Hi, I've seen it mentioned on here before that it's possible to use EL84 tubes in the classic if you use yellow jackets. Presuming this is true, how close to the special does it get? Both amps have the same same preamp section, so the only difference would be the power section. Obviously a...

Totally subjective I know, but if you have owned a few mesa's what do you think has the sweetest cleans? I have had a Lonestar classic/special, Mark v, Roadking 2, Royal atlantic, Stiletto ace and tried a Triaxis, mark 3,4, 2b, an F30 and a TA30. I might have tried a maverick as well but only...

Hi, I'm curious about the fillmore series, the 50 especially. There doesn't seem to be many threads on here about the fillmore series in general. What's the general opinion of it? Is it considered to be popular or has it not been as well received as some of the big hitters like a mark, recto...

Hi there, Ive owned a good few mesa's over the years, but never played an electra dyne. One has come up that I am considering a trade on. I won't be able to try beforehand, so I have a few questions. Is the ED a very low mid/bass heavy amp? There are a few youtube videos but not an awful...

Hi there, Can anyone tell me the weight of the chassis of their lonestar(classic or special,need both) when removed from the head shell? I am considering getting a custom head shell built and want keep the weight down.I'm trying to make it weigh less than the mesa head shell if possible, so...

Hi there, I have owned 2 LSS combo's (1x12 and 2x12) and I have briefly owned a 2x12 LSC. I know the special far more than the classic, as I only had the classic for maybe 2 weeks max and it was 5 years ago or so. I have always loved the chime from the LSS. It's the EL84's I presume. According...

Hi, I'm changing the speaker in my 1x12 open back boogie cab, that I use with my road king 2.Im not a big fan of the C90, so I ordered a celestion creamback 75 and a celestion Alnico cream 90.My plan is to try both out and keep the one I like best and return the other for a full refund.Only...

Hi there,I just got to try a road king 2 that i am considering purchasing.Sounds great but there seemed to be an issue with what i think is the foot switch.Basiclally I was using channel 3 and the volume was at about 11 oclock and the amp started cutting out like a tremolo effect.At first I...

Can someone do me a quick favour?Up to now ive been using the 8ohm output on my royal atlantic head into my 1x12 C90 cab and recto 4x12.Both 8ohm's.Today for the first time i tried the ohms switch.Up til now ive been pretty happy with the amp with felt it was little dark if im being honest.I was...

I picked up a 2x12 LSS combo recently for gigging.It looks like its a few years old.Still in good condition but certainly isnt fresh out of the factory by any means.My plan had always been to get the 2x12 for recording as it sounds bigger than the 1x12(had a 1x12 before) and then rack mount the...

Just messing about with some gain pedals into the special.Actually prefering channel 2 for pedals.Drive off and set pretty clean.Has more mids than channel 1 it seems and the thick/thicker switches are handy for fine tuning.Anyone else at this?

Hi there,hard to get much info in the title.Basically im picking up a used lonestar special online.Cant try before i buy so i was asking as many questions as possible.I asked about the tubes and he said he did change 1 power tube.But arent they supposed to be changed in pairs so they match?I do...

When i first got the amp (new) about 2 months ago, i did notice that if i tapped the front of the amp where the knobs are,it sounded like i was tapping the tubes and they were about to go into self oscillation.Pretty much the classic sound of a microphonic tube.Was recording in the studio...

I have to say I really dig this amp.Always wanted one but could never find one and ended up going with a mark v instead.Had it for 2 years but was never truly happy with it.Got a new Royal for half price.Ive only tried it through my mesa 1x12 so far as my 4x12 is in the studio at the min.The...

Im about to pull the trigger on this amp as i always wanted one but went with a mark v as they were so hard to find and now they are discontinued.Now one has come up, im considering selling the V and going for the royal.I have no way of trying before buying so need as much info as possible...

Im currently trying to sell my mark v head as while its a quality amp, its just not doing it for me.I have had it for 2 years and just fancy something different.Thing is when i bought the mark v, i was really after a royal atlantic but just couldnt find one.Im more a fan of british voiced gain...

Hi there,Im going to pick up a used lonestar classic but having owned one previously i know how much of a back breaker the combo is to move.Im considering just buying a combo and converting it to the rackmount version.Is this possible by removing the chasis from the combo and putting it into the...
