AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I seriously doubt anyone would trade ANY Mesa for ANY Line 6. Line 6 is crap.

Just was at the Mesa booth at NAMM, talking up a really friendly Mesa Rep there (Thanks Trent!) about the Mark V. I asked him if it could REALLY pull off the Mark 2C+ sound. He says "Why don't you find out". Hands me a Tom Anderson and plugs it in. It nails it. I LOVE the Tweed as well, sounds...

I think you could get pretty close to it with this: Gain at 11:00 Treble at 10:00 Mids at 2:00 Bass at 12-1 Presence at 10 Master at 11 Sounds like the clean tone I'm getting. Man that guy can play.

Depends how cheap "cheap" actually is. I have a setup that costs me about $800 that I get great results out of. DigiDesign Mbox (comes with ProTools & plugins), SM57 (I went with an Audix I-5), and some decent monitors and headphones. It doesn't hurt to have a processor or POD-like device of...

So I got the amp in to a tech in my area, he took a look at it today and said the amp has significant damage due to 2 blown power tubes. He also said the other tubes looked quite used as well. He didn't have a definitive theory, but said that he thought it looked like I played the amp really...

Yes, it is one year old. One more thing: right before the "pop" I heard and a bit of smoke, the amp made a sound like a motorcycle accelerating, started from a low pitch up to a high one but still had a throatiness to it. I'm bummed about going home today.... No Mesa to Play :cry: Guess...

Thanks for the advice guys. I could see if the 5 watt and the 15 watt weren't working it should clearly be the Rectifier tube, but in this case it is just the 5 watt that isn't working. I called a local tech and he proposed his theories which were pretty much similar, I just hope whatever it...

All right guys, I need a bit of help diagnosing a problem I'm having with my Lone Star Special that is about a year old. I took it out yesterday to play, and I brought it back upstairs and am playing it today. I've been playing it for about 2 hours driving it pretty hard and all of a sudden I...

I have thought about putting NOS tubes in my LSS, even priced it out a bit. But I keep thinking: those things cost quite a bit. If I blew a tube I would be PISSED. How much did you spend on the re-tube?

Man I completely agree with the stuff getting trashed. Especially the guitars. They are just ugly. I was in the F Valley store today and went to play a PRS SE Custom... I plugged in before I noticed the Pickup toggle switch was missing. Awesome. They had a F30 in there that I swear has been...

That would suck if They lost Mesa.... I just don't know of a good Mesa Dealer close besides them. I guess I could truck it up to Mesa in Hollywood... It's only a 40 minute drive but parking sucks in L.A. and I have a feeling that store might be a bit more pretentious than my neighborhood G.C. I...

I played the LSS in the store when I bought it through the stock speaker simultaneously with a 2x12 LoneStar Cab that sounded Great. I'm going to get a cab too, I'm thinking of going with a 2x12 but I've heard that closed back Recto cabs sound amazing with the Special. I think I'm going to go...

That is a RARE amp. I've never seen one and I live close to 4 Guitar Centers and several music stores. I would be VERY interested to hear what it would sound like overdriven, I'm usually not a fan of the "10 inch overdrive" sound.

It's a very subtle buzz, but it is there. Funny thing is I can never remember it buzzing before, but I have had it for about 5 years. And it is much easier to run it through this alternate out (The Slave), it's just one less stop along the tone sucking line of pedals that I have to stop at. It...

Does anyone know if it is OK to run the slave out on my LSS into my Korg DTR-2? I have the slave level set at LOW but I am tired of running first into the Tuner, as there is a SLIGHT buzz. Will it cause damage to the DTR-2, which I love?

I am really curious as to why Mesa didn't design the 30 watt setting to be selectable between tube recto and Silicon Diode (SS). I am addicted to the spank of the 30 watt channel but want a bit of sag in the sound too. Does anyone else feel that the rectification on this amp should be...

Why oh Why oh why would you use a LINE 6 cab with a DR though? Am I seeing things? Wow that is bad. Maybe he should just switch to a Guitar POD through the PA.

I Just can't imagine a Fender Acoustasonic would sound better than the LSS (That's practically blasphemy just typing that). I kind of have an itch to fire one up in the Acoustic Room @ G.C. to check it out, but that's why it's called the "Acoustic" room... You never want to be the a-hole firing...

I have a question for you all. I'm sure the majority of us play proper solid body electric guitars through our Mesas, per my observation the majority either the F's The G's or the PRS's. But does anyone here play their acoustic guitar (s) through their Mesa (s) extensively? I am the recent...
