lone star or lone star special

[samuelson]

I purchased a lone star in November and it's great. Is the Lone Star Special worth looking into now for a new tone? Or are they too close to the same thing so I should look at a Dr. Z or another EL84 product?

I got a Lonestar 2x12, previous amp was aLSS.. The Lonestar has alot more punch, bottom, headroom and versatility than my LSS ever did. It is not a EL84 sound. The lonestar is a TRRI and a DRRI in one cab. The LSS would be more suited for smaller venues or studio use. The tones from the LSS have a wide range, but I was unhappy with the way it broke too soon on the clean channel. My first one died after less than two weeks. GC gave me a new one in a box and I used it for about a month. I don't have it now and the Lonestar has become my main amp. Don't need anything more.
