Hey gang... It's been a while. I'm looking to do some recording and cannot get the tones I like thru a POD unit. So, now I'm thinking the Recording Recto may be my best option! I cannot find one locally so please tell me, what does the clean channel sound like? - thin but cutting? - fat and...

Asking $1300 but price is negotiable. For sale is a Mesa Lonestar 1x12 combo in like new condition. It was purchased in October of 2005 and has less than 100 hours on it total about 50 of which are on the original tubes. It's too heavy of a combo for me to lug around due to a neck and back...

Hi! I'm getting the new LS ASAP and want to know the diff between class A and class AB. I'm primarily getting it cuz I want the head and cab but as soon as they offered 10W it finalized my decision. Now, I read that the 10W mode is class A, can somebody educate me please? - technical? -...

I'm really thinking it is best for me to cutover to the new LSC and get a short head and 2x12 cab. But my question is what will happen to the sound if I run it vertical vs. horizontal? The reason I am pondering is 2 fold #1 easier to hear if it's close behind me and #2 smaller footprint on...

Hello, I've got a line on a Studio and Formula both for a fair price. The difference in $$ is of no concern to me. What I am looking for is for somebody to help me understand the differneces. I plan on using this live and have the necessary items - pweramp, cab, reverb... When I think of...

Got off the phone with Mesa and they said that I could get a head box to put my amp head in for ~$250 in black. And that I should order a cab through my dealer. IF I wanted to blue like my combo, it'd be $550 for the box of the head alone! I asked if I could order a 2x12 cab with 1 speaker...

I've read the manual but don't understand. Likely I'm making it more complicated than it is.

So I walked into GC to pickup strings (my local shop is 50 mins away so it just ain't worth it for strings and picks) and I say a nice display of LSCs. The 1x12s were $100 more than the 2x12s! Also, the guy said for their memorial day weekend sale the 1x12s were going for like $1299. Weird...

I need a mic for my LSC. Any suggestion?

Playing this morning and I heard a harmony note on my drive channel, not my clean. It sounded like I had a delay on at like 20 milisenconds. But not on my clean channel. Is this a bad tube? I use a low gain setting DRIVE not on and the gain at like 10 o'clock. Very disturbing...

It's begining to question my understanding of tone. I've been a Fender fan for years and can easily dial in the low mids with a Fender tonestack. However with the Mesa tonestack is really boggling my mind and I can't seem to dial in the low mids. Does anyone have any suggestions?

After our last gig I remembered how much I appreciated my Twins tiltback legs. Has anyone done this to a Mesa?

Worked great and very happy with it. Oddly, it seemed to take a second or two to warm up kinda like a clogged fuel injector but after that, all great! The only problem, I plugged the wrong cable into the footswitch and could only control the channel not the solo loop! Whoops! BTW, it is...

I am the original owner of an LSC. I'm guessing the amp was at least 6-7 months old when I got it. I found out that I was playing it set to EL instead 6L6 for the first few months. I've owned it about a year. That's the background. Recently (couple weeks), it's been harder and harder to...

I am gonna run some modulation effects through my mesa and have no idea how this works on the LSC. I see a send level and read the manual which assumes a return level on your device. Makes sense. But then I see this "unity gain" and I have no idea what that is on amps. Is it really as...

Figured it would be but I'd like to check with y'all first! Thanks!

Looking at my LSC from the back I notice the 2 on the left (by the rect tube) were much brighter than those on the right. I read and know that the tubes are paired outer inner so I didn't think one was bad. This was after 30 mins of playing at "ya I'm home alone" volume. Any thoughts?

Here is the story, I have never gigged with a tube amp; only solid state and I have done a good amount of gigging. I've owned tube amps before but only taken them out once or twice to shows but want that to change. I love the tone of my LSC and want to take it on stage with me. However, I am...

The LSC is my first Mesa amp. So I'm not totally used to the tonestack and the relationship one has to the next. Well, my favorite amp, traditionally, is the Fender Twin. However, Fender makes shitty amps these days and Mesa makes a superior product. So I read the manual, again, and it...

I've got a POD XT unit that I need sometimes but I don't like the amount of color it gives off when not in use. So, to cure that I know I need some selector so I can get that pure beautiful tone out of my LSC. What do you recommend which is True Bypass, simple, and effective?
