«  Superb but sharp! »

Value For Money : Excellent
Well we are dealing with a garbage can transition ... shit I was not confused with Marshmall: /
Amp lamp, see the entire description besides I'm too lazy: $
Note that this is super full, not much wrong with that from the weight of the lamps is pretty horrible!
Class A blablabla, 3 position switch for power, another for changes to the sound (to thicken it more or less according to my ears?), The switch to the solo channel presence by ... AC brief does!
Well as the reverb with its two modes!
I'm looking for something Euuuuh was wrong ... not much, maybe it is bof to play a low volume but otherwise good j'trouve anything, it's pro
10/10

UTILIZATION

Then it gets harder!
First the manual: I had not ben, I just struggled to find the net in french because I'm talking too much trash as English, and once I open the PDF, j 'I realized that I did not pan 10 to get it: / no mesa December manuals are really well done, j'pense that's partly because of that it's super expensive, while the Budget passes inside ... it's almost Tolkien: P
What is easily obtain a good sound? NAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! is a mesa already so it must look, plus it's hard ben voila!

9 / 10, I can not blame the quality stuff to be pro is that I'm limited: /

SOUNDS

So big chapter ... I had purchased for use at the Timmons, a little boosted Xotic BB Preamp with ... ben said j'vous not mess!
The sound is super hot, very round but I had set like that, clean the lens can be with the right settings (I did toy with the examples in the textbook and that really is super nice .. .). The best clean I've ever heard!
The second channel I struggled ... for the blues do not worry, little saturation hot tight grain, it's creamy American as I love them! it really is "roots" is the asez has put into words but it is very beautiful! after if you want the most muscular Timmons has just ben I am not come, not to mention the link with the BB Preamp ... I had a soup of boiled low, it was rough, no writ defines the cata ... I think that after relining a complete overhaul and would not hurt, but it is good tjs super sharp it has set ... the knobs interact with each other, you move to 0.5 and it changes everything it takes more than patience!

Petrucci played with a Stratocaster and a deluxe, the finding is:
- Clean énoooooooooooooooooomissime absolutely enjoyable
- Light crunch great for a good blues roots, seeing a light rock but always with his hot, creamy and dense as I love it!
- More fishing I do not know if it was my amp that was a concern, or me, or that it was not possible ... I know that Timmons is coupled with a stiletto and j'pourrais never have its sound (ah ah) or his fingers, but I thought I got close ... ben nan!

So I note 9 / 10 is great but I screwed in the use

OVERALL OPINION

I think I've not kept long, barely five months ... though I had tried to settle, to search the forums I never managed to find my sound Lonestar boosted ...

I tried many amps, going from mesa (Mark 4 and 5, DC, Express ...) has orange through Marshall, Diezel, Leaney, fender and side creamy j'l'ai had ben Lonestar on the ...

Pros:

- The clean and light crunch, with this creamy, this hot, tight grain raaaaah!
- Quality, ca breathes pro
- Complete the settings, but there's no 12 channels were essentially
- This sound ...

Cons:

- The sound "boosted", which approximates a small lead, not put too much gain
- The weight brothel-____-put of helium!
- The look ... it is a bit ugly anyway, but lousy class (my tastes;))
- The price of new
Ultimately, good value for money given the benefits. I think I wanted the sounds he could not deliver (I mean no metal either) so I do not blame him, has the brave beast!
I sold something else, I think I'm falling on a model not super (occaz. ..) so I'm not too negative, and I'll buy later when I grow up in my fingers and in my head!

It is the ultimate blues amp, do not look to have a lead at the Timmons like me ...

9 / 10, I can not break such a beast ... I will miss ... snif
