I went to check out the Lonestar (again) on my lunch today. They have the LSS and LSC, both the 1x12 combo, and I decided I liked the LSC better.... I guess I'm just a 6L6 guy when it comes to cleans.
Well, I was about to leave and I plugged in to a F-30 for the heck of it and I was blown away! It seems like the baby of a Lonestar and a Rectifier, it's got a nice clean tone and a mean distortion channel (and I was playing a stock tele). It's actually got 3 footswitchable tones at your feet. The only thing it doesn't have that I need is a solo boost. It's even got a very deep reverb, not real long on the decay, but very Fender-ish sounding reverb.
Now I'm confused (as if I wasn't before). I can get a used Lonestar classic for about $1250-$1500 or a used F-30 for about half that and use a pedal in the loop for a solo boost.
I'd love to hear from someone that has both the F-30 and a Lonestar to see how you think they compare to each other.
