Hi All,
I have a Lonestar Classic 2x12, http://home.nyc.rr.com/dreadboy/guitar064.jpg
I do like the sound that I got with the stock Mesa tubes for the most part. I didn't like the microphonics though, they got old fast! I switched out the v1 and v2 for GT12ax7-M's and that took care of the rumbles and burps... then I pulled out the 6L6's and put in Tesla EL34's (late 80's I think, from my JCM 800) and that gave me more high end and more sustain...
I know boogie says that the warranty is void if you don't use their tubes. Is this just a matter of gouging or is it because other people's tubes will harm this amp (I'm aware that boogie tubes aren't made by boogie)? Thanks all and secondly has anyone tried this amp with Rudy El34bstr's? T'ank Yah!

PS: This amp smokes.
