I'm borrowing this from a friend to potentially buy it. It is a Lonestar Special, so EL84s instead of 6L6/EL34s. The thing sounds stupid good, though it isn't the type of amp I normally play. It gets a pretty cool lead tone, but it definitely doesn't hit metal territory. The price is pretty decent, so I may go ahead and snag it, especially since pre-Gibson stuff will start shooting up in price.

Can you push the front or loop in a pedal to get it where you want to go?

I love my Lonestar cab - it definitely does metal.

Looking around the room at all the other great amps you have, I'd say that would fit right in.

[Mike]

They sound fantastic, for sure, in either power tube variety.

It would definitely fill a space you don't already have covered...

It definitely gets much closer. I'd say you could do Dream Theater type gain with this, and a pedal pushing it. It gets to the mid range of what my Mark V:25 has to offer, but a different voicing, obviously.

Yeah, my gear outclasses my playing, for sure

Definitely true. The leads really are great on it.

[Budda]

Buy that thing and enjoy it .

[Jeff]

Amazing amp!! Get it. If nothing else, you can flip it later for probably what you paid, since they're discontinued.

[beneharris]

Thanks, guys. I'm finding that some of these less popular Mesas end up being just as good if not better than the Marks, etc.

Shush! This is how I've been gear-whoring Mesa's for years now. Don't let the secret out!

[Leon]

This is the way.

Oh yeah, Uh, if it isn't a Mark, don't bother.

[Budda]

This is the way.

Amen

[beneharris]

At least we sound good while sucking

This is me playing through thousands of dollars worth of music gear and my custom shop guitar.

It’s disappointing Mr. Durst isn’t more self-aware.

[beneharris]

Oh man, I forgot about that one

[Überschall]

This is the way.

This is the way.

I live this way.
