I bought a Lonestar Classic (2-12) over a year ago. I never was completely satisfied with the sound. It never had the high end "sparkle" or "smooth" low-end that a good Fender Twin has.
Recently, one of my Boogie 6L6 power tubes blew-up (didn't last over 14 months). When I replaced all 4 6L6's (you need to replace all 4 with a matched set, even if you only need 1) with a set of JJ's - WOW!!! What a difference!!! The amp really came alive!!! NOW it sounds like the greatest amp ever - like others have said about the LSC.
If your LSC doesn't sound like the greatest amp ever - try a set of JJ's or maybe Svetlana or another brand - I'm try'n to sell JJ's here, but they did the trick for me.
Maybe I bought the only LSC out there with poorly performing power tubes, but if there's one, there's probably another.
BTW, I had to go back to the store (Far-Out Music in Clarksville IN) for another set of of JJ's after the first set I tried had a quality issue - the filaments rattled like b-b's in a jar. The second set worked better.
