Flavor of the Month Amp.

Not Me!!

Had mine for a while now and still loving it.

Mine be the Lonestar Classic 1X12 Wide Combo. Gotta Love it.

I'm dissing all you internet junkies out there who say this is a anything but a great amp.

I'm glad to hear it. I'm considering getting a LS Special, as the low wattage, class A , tube rectified tone fits the bill for me. Seemed to strike a chord with me from the start...The only amp I've tried that has me thinking of a change from my mark III.... I think I'm in love....
ax.

I purchased a Lonestar Special over the weekend - what a fantastic amp. Awesome tone, warm clear highs/mids/lows, and incredibly musical crunch and sustain. I love it.

Only addtion to my amp schema I need now is a 1x12 cab... can I order those direct from Mesa?

Please, I don't want to hear anymore

I'm newbie to this board but owner of three Boogies and other amps.

A while back I was looking into getting a Maverick 'cause I think quartet of EL84s Class A would be nice to my collection.

Then Lone Star came out. I just had a thought, "What if there was a Lone Star that came out Class A quartet of EL84s?"

=> Lone Star Special!!!

Hmmm, better make room on my credit card, hope landlord don't mind being late on the rent. Could I live without running water for a few months? For sure I'll pay electricty bill, can't play electric guitar without electricty ...

See what you guys got me into!!!

[for those who are offended, I'm kidding with the above paragraph]

RR, I worked on the wife for a good month and had to catch her at a weak point to pull it off... and even then, I'm paying for it now in ways other than financially.

But having said all that, I plan on ordering the 1x12 cab for it within a week or so Do it, sir.

I have no use for a LS or LSS, but man, what beautiful sounding amps!

The cleans were to die for!

They really are nice amps...as I've mentioned in other threads, the LS was in the same league as the Matchless and Dr.Z as far as I could tell...well at least the ones at the store I was visiting. To me it was the only Mesa that I could just plug into and get great sounds no matter what the setting or guitar. Even my beloved ROV series 1 took me 2 visits to like the amp. As a side note, I found with most Mesas, the way to begin testing is to set all the tone controls to 12:00 and cut the presence to about 9:00. That seems to give the most generic "good" tone and you can tweak from there.
