Hey guys,
I've been after a another amp for a while now I have a rectoverb 25 head and 1x12 cab I currently gig with but wanted something a little more compact but with slightly more headroom. I took the plunge the other day and bought a Lonestar 1x12 combo 100 watt version. First of all its a fantastic amp, great clean chan and loads of headroom. Chan 2 on the other hand although I can get a fairly high gain sound out of it and its pretty cranked gain wise. Plus the amp is heavy as well.
I was thinking on sending the lonestar back and getting the Express + 5:50 just purely because the Express has more gain and is less heavy. I just wondered what everyone's thoughts are? Gain wise can you get a pretty high gain sound out of chan 2? And also what is chan 1 like? Plenty of headroom even though its 50 watts? I'm coming from a 25 watt amp anyway but I really dig the 100 watt headroom of the lonestar.
Even though I've only used the Lonestar a couple of days it does sound pretty awesome i just think maybe the Express is suited slightly more to me.
What do you think guys? Has any one had a lonestar or tried one and preferred the Express?
Thanks in advance
Paul
