The Mesa / Boogie Lone Star Classic is a Class A amp, all tube with 4 6L6 power tubes that can be replaced later by EL34 (why do not forget to change the position mini switch 6l6l / EL34 situ asur monstre.On the rear side there are also five lamps 12AX7 preamp type and lamp type grinder 5U4.une particularity makes the strength of this amp is the spring reverb. There are two types of reverb that are really merveilleuses.L amp has 2 channels ... channel 1: crystal clear sound and prcis (which only sounds were the mesa recipes)
Channel 2: Channel 1 clone with a little crunch in + or saturation rather serious but not suitable at all to keep on metal ... rockin'in the free world
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the lone star is really the most simple.on branch is switched on turns the by-pass a few buttons and you turn the sound is already la.le clean channel is controlled by a simple vraimen against saturation is somewhat tougher a reglprparez you break your back for a good half hour to turn the knobs until you either type of sound) this saturation is really pretty and really it prcise.Du cot Manual is very clear (as far as channel 1 ...) everything is explained even if it is not rocket science to use this ampli.vous'll need can be in terms of the use of connectors the rear face of the amp, but otherwise no need to break the head ... and as I often say keep on rockin'in a free world
SOUNDS
Personally I play a LOT of different style and I find that the lone star is a fairly versatile amp should have most of the styles that I play but it is still more ax rock and blues johnsonien hendrixien ... (I do not know French trs if all this ...) that's dir ... fan of cradle of filth or other metalheads go your way to rectify a triple ... it says impossible is not in mesa y adding a good metal muff electro harmonix ca can change the soft teddy bear will turn into a bloodthirsty beast ... I play primarily on gibson les paul studio and equip ibanez EMG is as much as you dir is a pleasure to play on small balls ... but I do not put the maximum mark this heading because of the saturation too soft for my taste ... but as they say all tastes are in nature
OVERALL OPINION
I just bought this amp 3 days ago, I can tell you that I did not let breathe I test cast fills in the channel ... I love clean.sent lie I ' I never heard a sound like ca.tant of claret every note I refrain from shedding a tear ... c vraimen jolie.J 'love everything of this amp even if I have a large preference for the sound clear saturation is far from unpleasant ... but I think acquiring a metal muff for sound has RONDAT satriani.avant or will I play this amp on amp such as Fender, Hughes & Kettner, Marshall and even a line6 amp and I personally horeur of modeling, but the best is this one ...
even if the price is quite push (yes I admit that my banquire will make me the head for a while because of the credit ... but hey it's only one life) and after s in all this worth it ... nothing will make me change my mind over what has this amp gnial and even if the distortion is not enough for my taste I pushed him puts all the points, because a faith more mesa shows us his knowledge and my god it's good ... go have fun and mesa / boogie forever
