I got my Lonestar sold. Loved that channel one, could never get channel two right. The guy that bought was super happy & I got enough to buy a Carvin VT16 112 and put some money away for the Martin HD 35 I have been GASsing for... Gonna miss you guys and the awesome support I ALWAYS got from...

Has anyone tried to "metal up" a LSC V2 with one of these boxes? My head is telling me I need the Throttle Box+EQ but my heart wants to just use the EQ. Head :: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/pedals/throttlebox-eq-pedal.html Heart ...

I've been struggling for years to get the volume down on my Lonestar. (Yellow Jackets etc) Ch 1 is (of course) perfect. It's amazing. However Ch2 is very very challenging. I've gone the Reeder Route, and back. I can make Ch 2 sound pretty close to CH 1 which is nice but it doesn't (to my...

(thank you Mick & Keef) So on of my never ever, ever used EL-34s blew last night. Lots of rattles, pops and general noise... clearly a tube. My initial thought is that I would swap the Yellow Jackets in the 10 and 50 watt positions because clearly I blew the 10 watt tube. I'm only ever in...

I've got CH1 and CH2 set nearly identically. Drive is set to off and the effects loop is engaged. The biggest difference between CH1 & CH2 is the reverb setting. It's basically off on CH2. Essentially I switch to that channel for more complicated parts, heavier riffing and when delay is...

I am installing two Yellowjacket YJS into my Lonestar v2. After playing around with a few configurations I have "figured out" the following: Power Tube Position 1 (next to the rectifier) & Power Tube Position 4 with PTP 2 & 3 empty allow for 10/50/100 settings Power Tube Postion 2 & 3 with 1...

The Lonestar v2 has too many possible sounds. It NEVER ends. I touch the damned amp more than I touched my X Wife (ohhhh)... Crystal Clear Ridiculous Headroom No Headroom Crunchy Skank Country Spank Shreddy Fluid Muddy Water Old Zep New Zep AC/DC Liquifyingly Loud Heartbreakingly...

I'm looking to cut down the wattage of my Lonestar Classic v2 (10/50/100) I've read many of the YellowJacket threads and Charles Reeder's recommendations. I currently have EL34s in all 4 slots. I am thinking of replacing 1 & 4 with YellowJackets and leaving 2 & 3 empty. I generally run in...

I have not modded my Lonestar I run Ch. 1 with reverb around 12:00 and Ch. 2 at 08:00 I run it in True Bypass (no "Solo") I really like sound of Ch. 2 set with the Drive off (but usually have it on) So I'm thinking for a more distorted sound I could add overdrive to Ch. 2 (which would require 2...

So through a bizarre bit of dealer Tom Foolery I got promised a full set of tubes for my LSC I bought last year. When I was there I honestly couldn't remember what was in the amp, 6L6s or EL34s. As you all know it's 6L6s - but I said EL34s. I felt like the kid from Christmas Story. "No wait...

I have an LSC 10/50/100. The plan for pedals (I have a Cry Baby at the moment) is: Volume (Morely or Ernie Ball) Wah (Cry Baby) Compressor (Carl Martin or Barber) Flanger (MXR or TC Electronic) Delay (MXR Carbon Copy) I think the correct signal path is as I have listed it above (possibly...

I had about 6 hours to myself on Sunday so I dug out my old wireless rig and set my Lone Star to "kill". Of course Channel 1 was astounding. Channel 2 was excellent but at points it was too "open" - "poppy" - it's hard to explain... uncontrolled? The Samson runs a little bit of compression...

I am a little fuzzy on what the Solo "button" does on my LSC. I understand that I can set it to a louder volume setting and stomp on it to "Go to 11" but it changes the sound by more than volume. It almost "clears" the sound up some. Sometimes I just run the amp on Solo because it sounds a...

You might as well be asking Has anyone A/B'd a Gibson Les Paul and an D'Angelico New Yorker? Yes they're both Amps but they have NOTHING to do with each other. The JC-120 is a phenomenal amp and so is the Lonestar but for completely different applications. You could play Jazz through a...

I just spent about two hours (family is out this morning) with my LSC flipping between Channel 1 & Channel 2 with all knobs to 12 o'clock. There is a difference between Channel 1 & Channel 2. It's in the treble range and I spent a few minutes making the two channels the same - ultimately by...

I have nothing lined up and I don't think I'd actually go through with it but I was toying with the idea of trading my LS 10/50/100 for a 5:50 or similar Boogie. Is that a really bad trade? (Again it's only an idea. I love my LS)

You bought a Lonestar. You love it. It's the best amp you've had in decades. Sure, even on 10 watts it's crushingly loud on Sunday mornings... yet sometimes... occasionally... once in a while you think :: I need MORE gain. Perhaps you're playing that Comfortably Numb into Fortunate Son...

I just got my Lonestar home and I noticed that: Channel 1 lights green on the amp but is off on the foot switch Channel 2 lights red only on the foot switch but not on the amp even without the foot switch (ie using the mini toggle) I have checked the foot switch wire and it seems the solder...
