I have about 3500 to spend on either a great sounding amp or a kick *** guitar, and just wanted peoples opinon on which one they think is more important to have in getting great tone. I already have some cool gear such as the Lone Star head by Mesa Boogie, a Eric Johnson Strat, a couple of other...

just have to set the second Channel for good crunch then step on a pedal for solos. So now I have an amp with three knobs I dont need that would be better served not in it Thats just what I'm doing on my Lonestar head. I don't use the gain switch. Have you noticed when you do that, the dirty...

have any of you guys tried the Celestion G12H Speakers? That is supposely what Hendrix used as well as Eric Johnson. If these guys are using them than they must be damm good.

"If that's the case you will probably need to start using EVM12L's." What are those? I am playing riff rock stuff like Zepp, and The Who.

"I don't understand why people when they have a problem with their amp, cab, speakers... etc. don't just call Boogie and talk with them about it. They want to, and will, try to solve your problem" Trust me Chief I've done all that. I go to there location in Hollywood all the time. According to...

I have the Lonestar head with the 212 half back cabinet w/ black shadow celestion 90's and I think its a great amp, but I've had several problems with mine. The first came with the amp. The circuits got fried inside and they had to be replaced. The other one is with the cab, maybe this won't be...

"It's basically a beefed up Celestion Classic Lead with the voicing slightly tweeked." Thanks a lot for the info. Just out of curiosity. how are they slightly tweeked? , and do you know if Celestion still sells this Classic Lead series? Cheers :D

Do you guys know if this is a speaker only made for Mesa? Or is it in the Celestion line as well? I went to there site and didnt see anything on it. I love these speakers, and just wanted to know what the closest thing was to these that they sell. Thanks :D

"If you compare a Marshall with your LS w/EL34s, do you think sound similar? can you dial the same amount of distortion/overdrive? is it more versatil than the Marsahall? Is the distortion enought to play 80's heavymetal? " To answer all your questions. Yes It sounds familiar to a plexi...

I have had my Lonestar head for about 2 months and its been great, but I have really only played it on the 100 watt setting, with the tube rectifer switch on? My question is, does switching down to 50 watts or the tweed setting make any differance in tone? Does switching to Diode make a...

I have el34's in my Lonestar and it sounds killer.

Thanks. I had one of those blue Mesa cabs that go with the Lonestar, and they were cool, but sounded a little tubby at times, and I also kept running into the ghost note problem. Do the rectifer v30's help with soloing over the other that I have? I saw that you have the Satrinani peavy. I am...

I was having problems with my other cabinet, because of ghost notes, and got this one instead. I was in a hurry so wasnt able to sit there all day messing with it. Its got vintage 30's in them, so I am thinking that it will sound great with my Lonestar head, at least I'm hoping it does. Anyones...

"With cone cry you'll often you hear an octave down tone when you play single notes on the top strings above the 12th fret" That's exactly what it is!! That's great news. So if I got the cab about 3 months ago, they should replace it with another one right? Just for the record I have the 2*12...

I appreciate every ones imput, and concerns, but I have this problem any were I take this amp. I had the same problem at home, the same problem at my rehersal space. The tubes have just been replaced. I just got new cables. Its none of that. I had this problem when I had 6l6's, and then I put in...
