Lonestar - ohms?

[Lone Tone]

I have an older lonestar classic head on its way to me so I need to pick up a 2X12 cabinet and was wondering how many ohms the cabinet needs to be. I've only ever had combos in the past so I'm not sure how the ohms work. Thanks.

4/8/16 ohm cab will be fine. LSC can handle it. 8 is standard.

The Lonestar manual does a good job of giving examples of correct and incorrect speaker/cabinet combinations. If you don't have a manual you can get one here:

What about wattage? If I get a 60 watt cab will I never be able to use the 100 watt setting?

You can use a 60 watt cab with a 100w head, there is a chance you'll blow it. It can be done if you keep the vol down. Like just in the bedroom. Of course if you plan to play in a band, it would be better to get speakers of a higher rating.
