I bought a used Roadster head and the owner threw this in. It was custom made by Clydesdale for a Roadster head, although I'm sure it will fit others. It measures 29 1/2"L x 15 1/2"W x 14 1/2"H. The exterior is in fantastic shape and the interior is mint! The original owner paid quite a bit...

I picked up a used Roadster head. However, I noticed some strange problems with it. 1) When switching from Channel 2's Brit mode to Channel 1, there is a brief yet noticeable popping/humming noise. This does not occur when switching to other channels or when Brit mode is not selected. 2)...

I was offered a mint Roadster head for my Lonestar Classic head. I've listened to a few clips online and it sounds good. However, I don't play anything remotely heavy. I'm mainly a Blues/Classic Rock player. Is the Roadster capable of smooth lead tones (Petrucci, Gilmour, Timmons) without a...

A few weeks ago I was playing my LSC when it emitted a hum and then died. I checked the fuse and it was shot. I replaced the fuse, removed the power tubes and rectifier tube and turned the amp on. It remained on which meant it was a tube related issue. I breathed a huge sigh of relief! Following...

Well, sort of, haha. I've owned a Lonestar Classic for a while. However, it originally came in a 2x12 combo. As some of you know, the thing weighs a ton. I quickly grew tired of moving it around. That's when I realized I would rather have a head and 1x12 cabinet instead. Once I was able to...

I'm converting my Lonestar Classic combo to a head and 1x12 cab. I'm looking to pick up a speaker for under $100. I play Classic Rock, Blues and some clean picking. I've been looking at the Eminence RW&B and a few other ones. Would I need a speaker with at least a 100W rating? Thanks!

I wanted to install the bias mod on my Lonestar. However, I read that Mansfield Guitars is no longer in business. Is there any way I can make one at home? If so, how? It looks like a small board, resistor and a bias pot. I don't know anything about electronics but my friend is a wizard. Please...

I've been toying with the idea of selling my LSC 2x12 combo. I use it solely at home and gig maybe once a year. It has the features I want but it's simply overkill because I am unable to crank it. I love Channel 1 but I believe Channel 2 is a lost cause. I've done both Reeder mods and it still...

I'm selling my Mesa Boogie Lonestar 2x12 combo cabinet loaded with two C90's. I will also include the casters and slip cover. It is in mint condition excluding a very small scuff on one side. I'm asking $350 or best offer. Toronto, Canada and surrounding areas only. Thanks!

I just purchased a Mesa Boogie Lonestar Classic 2x12! It sounds amazing! I've always been a fan of 6L6/6V6 amps. I just couldn't get used to my Lonestar Special's tone. I have a few questions about this amp. 1. Is it normal for there to be a sudden jump in volume when adjusting the master...

I have a problem with my LSS which I believe might be tube related. I always keep the wattage set to 30W on both channels. However, last night I decided to drop the wattage to 15W. When I did that my amp stopped producing sound. The same thing happened when I lowered it to 5W. I put it back to...

I've noticed two "problems" recently with my LSS. Take a look at the picture below. Channel 2 is still noticeably louder than channel 1. Channel 1 is quiet even when I don't compare the two channels. Both channels are set to 30W. Is that normal or is there something wrong? The second...

I have rejoined the Mesa family! I purchased a mint condition Lonestar Special for literally half the price of a new one. I used to own a Mark IVB Widebody Combo. I sold that and ended up buying a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. However, after hearing the Lonestar Special I immediately...

Hi, I have been thinking of selling my Mark IV and purchasing a Lonestar. However, I want to give my Mark IV a chance before I do something I might regret. I used to play metal and loved the sound of the Mark IV. But my taste in music has changed and now I mostly play blues. I am a huge fan of...

Hey guys, I have been hearing some crackling noises coming from my Mark IV for a while now. I searched the forum and found out that a bad preamp tube might be the cause. If it is a bad preamp tube, how can I find out which one it is? Can the spare preamp tube that came with my Mark IV replace...

Hey guys, I am converting my Mark IV Widebody Combo into a head. I have been trying to remove the chassis but I am having one heck of a time! I removed the four chassis screws holding it in. Should it just slide out or is a bit of muscle required?

Hey guys, I am in the process of building a headshell for my Mark IV Widebody and have a few questions regarding the reverb tank. What size does the hole have to be for the reverb tank? Where should the hole be located? How do I mount the tank? Thanks in advance :)

Hey :D A few days ago I was trying to dial in some tones and decided to see which tubes were in my Mark IV. I noticed that I have two 6L6 STR 430's in the outter sockets and two 6L6 STR 420's in the inner sockets. Would reversing the position of the tubes cause a noticeable change in tone...

Hey guys :D I will be buying a Rocktron Xpression to use with my Mesa Mark IV. Which pedal(s) would I need for switching channels and effects? For example, I want to be able to go from the lead channel with delay to the clean channel with chorus just by stepping on a switch. How would I set...
