Hi, I am using a Fulltone Clyde Delux Wah (pre-output buffer addition) straight into the front of a LoneStar Classic. On Ch2, with gain and drive set around 2-3pm, the wah effect almost disappears, even using a Strat with the bridge pick-up. Any suggestions for fixing this without affecting...

Hi, I've been trying to get my 10/50/100 LSC to work well with the neck pickup of my clapton strat, and gain/drive at the higher end of things (2-3pm). Its given me a lot of problems, but I tried the amp at rehearsal last night in 50w diode, rather than 100w diode mode and some of the natural...

Hi all, I love my LSC but the other night caused a muscular injury at the elbow moving it at the end of a gig - she's a heavy girl. I could just go and buy a trolley to move it around on, but am exploring whether converting it to a head/cab would be better. It would certainly give me more...

Calling on the wise! I spent years building a rack only to finish it off with a TC G-System Limited, and find that it changes your basic tone alot more than the marketing suggests!!! So that's all being sold and I am going the pedalboard route. I wanted to get people's opinions on the best...

Hi, Anyone know the warranty length on MESA amps in the UK? I know it is less than the five years (so I hear) that US customers get, but I can't find anything in my paperwork. Thanks, D

OK folks - bit of a problem that I thought I would seek a few views on especially as we only get 1 year warranty in the UK, and mine is out of it :) Basically, my channel selector on the footswitch stopped working at a gig the other night. I thought it was the TRS cable, as the soldering is...

Hi, I'm looking at updating the pre-amp section of my LSC to get a bit more definition out of the amp on channel 2. I've not really experimented with tubes before, so the amp current carries the mesa stock mix of Chinese and Russian 1s and 2s. I'm looking to get close to a 90's clapton tone...

Hi, I know that the LSC comes with a 5U4GB but when I went to get a spare the shop was told by the Mesa rep they were now recommending the 5U4G. Is this true? I've got the valve home to test it and of course being the big bottle, it means that the valve grate won't fit back on (doh!), but...

Hi, Someone posted a similar post to this in the Modern Amps category and got no response, but I thought it was better suited to this section. I'm using a 2007 LSC 212 and don't get much opportunity to practice at volume for long periods so that I can experiment with the effect of the...

I've had my Lone Star Classic since mid-June and am getting some great sounds out of it (including the compliments from other players), but am struggling a little with taming channel 2. Basically I have a Clapton Strat with the newer Noiseless pickups, which I love using with the neck pickup...

OK, this is probably a stupid question.... How do I register my new Lone Star Classic?? There was no card in with the materials that came with the amp and I cannot see anything on the web site to do with registration. I'm just a bit worried as I might be missing out on some freebies...

Hi, I ordered some spare valves with my new LSC and basically when they arrived they didn't match at all. I was sent STR-430s instead of STR-440s for a start, but that argument with the shop was easy! The more tricky question is that the pre-amp spare I was sent (Mesa branded) is a 12AX7-A...

Newb question here, but I wondered if it was possible to get more gain out of my LoneStar Classic by changing the pre-amp tube(s) and what people would recommend? What is the best way to approach doing this? Sound wise I would love to be able to get 90's Clapton solo tone (i believe he used...

Probably a trivial question for this forum, but here goes. I've literally just received my 2007 LSC loaded with STR-440s (color coded yellow). As a precaution I ordered a pair of spare power tubes from the shop and they were sent out with the amp and I was told they would check they match...

I've just become a Mesa owner (and valve amp owner) for the first time and am wondering about an age old problem that I've had playing gigs. Basically on smaller stages (in pubs etc) I often find myself stood over the amp and cannot hear it. I used to put my solid state combo on top of my...
