    best matched EL84 quads for LSS

    I thought the stock MB tubes sounded best in the LSS after some swapping around. JJ's have sounded better in my other EL84 amps. What do you guys like and where is your source?

    LSS best tubes for max clean headroom

    I played a gig yesterday and noticed the amp was breaking up sooner than previous outings. I played it this morning so there doesn't appear or sound like there are any issues. I bought it used a year ago and tubes are what came with it. Amp probably could use a tube swap since I play it about...

    LSS combo with a 2x10 layout

    So I am on my 4th time around with a the LSS. Always happy to have one in my amp lineup. This one is all stock and 4-5 years old. Along the way I have had a Bogner Metropolis 30 watt 1x12 and a Dr Z Maz 38 NR 2x10 which are close to the LSS tonewise. I really liked the Z and when I loaded it...

    Weird rec tubes

    I have an 07 LSS. I switched a Sovtek 5Y3 and put in a 60's CBS 5Y3. When I switch through the power levels with the CBS installed, I hear a distinct increase in the volume levels going from 5 to 15 to 30 watts. With the Sovtek, I do not hear an increase in volume going from 15 to 30 watts...

    LSS Loop in or out? Send level setting

    I'm wondering where you LSS owners set yours at. I have the loop in and max the send level. More meat to the tone and it's louder too.

    Rectifier Tube recommendation

    the Sovtek I put in last Feb to replace the one year old stock MB rec tube went today. I think it was a $12 tube. I checking out what's available but would be grateful for some guidance if you have something you liked. $30-40 is OK

    LSS speaker options

    I have had my LSS for almost a year and am very happy with. Of course, I feel it's time to try some different speakers. Just out of curiosity. I have an extra Tonker, Tonkerlite and an RWB. Anyone have experience with any of these speakers in a 1x12 LSS combo? I play mostly single coils and...

    Bad footswitch cable on LSS

    I have read here before that the MB cables go bad. Mine stopped working last week and I used a Fishman cable for the gig. There is a big difference is the quality of the Fishman and the MB cables, night and day. I looked at the MB jacks and they appear to be OK. Where do these breaks happen...

    LSS Speaker Swaps

    I was wondering what other speakers anyone has tried in their LSS and with what kind of success. I have an extra Greenback and a Jensen from a Koch Twintone that are laying around. I don't know if they are the right fit. I'm interested if there is a speaker that clicked in your LSS. The stock...

    LSS tube swaps

    I have had my LSS for a few weeks now and have rehearsed, gigged and spent lots of time practicing on it. The rectifier tube died last week and I replaced it with a Sovtek and the Mesa stock EL84's with JJ's. After doing the weekend gigs with it, I took out the JJ's. I put the Mesa EL84's...

    LSS Shut Down

    I picked up a year old LSS 1x12 last week and have been using it and enjoying all week. Last night at practice it shut down. No sound, no lights on the front panel, no fan, zilch. My first LSS a few years ago fizzled to a halt also, but GC give me a new one in exchange. I checked the usual...

    LSC with EL 34's What's it sound like?

    Anybody using EL34's in a LSC 2x12 combo. I love my 6L6 Ruby 440's in my LSC on the clean channel. Beautiful Fender clean at all volumes. I want to retain that tone as much as possible. The drive channel is great, but I'm looking for a tone that's a little dirtier. The amp can go EL34's...

    Lonestar Classic with El 34's

    I'm loving the 6L6 tone my LSC puts out. but I'm gassing for something in a El 34 or 84 tone zone. I can cover my 6L6 tone needs with my Allen Accomplice. Has anyone ever changed from 6L6's to El34's? What was the tone change switching to El's? I'd like to keep something close to the...

    Lonestar Special vs Bogner Shiva

    I had a LSS for a while but didn't keep in favor of the LS. Now I want to get a EL34 or EL 84 amp. I demoed an LSS yesterday and it sounded great. I also have the Shiva EL 34 1x12 in my sights, but have only been able to check out Bogners sound clips. Can anyone give a comparison of the...

    Lonestar and Tube Screamer

    I haven't used my TS9 with the LSC yet. The LSC tones have been plenty sweet for my ears. Last night , I jammed with some good players for the first time. The guitarist, a friend played his Tele thru a 72 Deluxe Reverb and stepped on the TS9 for his solos. His tone was killer as was his...

    LSC power tube replacement What would you recommend?

    My LSC sat in GC for I don't know how long and I don't what kind of abuse it got there either. I have had it since early January. I don't have any loss of power or tone. Just questions about all the different tubes available. Has anyone replaced the Mesa stock tubes with somethingelse? Do...

    Lonestar Power Settings Reg or Tweed

    I have been running my LSC 2x12 at 110 volts most of the time. I have tried the Tweed power level and notice a slight difference in tone that sounds good too. I'm trying to get an idea of the advantages of one over the other from this forum's members. Sometimes the manual doesn't over the...
