Members FearMeWithMyLP Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 :love: This thing sounds SO GOOD! Not to mention that it has a choice of 5, 15 and 30 watts (30 being the max that I want), this seems like a no brainer! The only thing I wonder is how well it takes pedals... :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Randy Van Sykes Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have a Lonestar 1x12 combo and an AC15 HW 1x12 combo. They sound very different from each other but both sound awsome. The Lonestar is very Fenderish sounding, with a nice smooth gain channel...the Vox is very fat and thick sounding with the Blue speaker. I can't dial them in to sound the same, but I could easily gig with one or the other. If I had to pick one though, it would be the Vox (I've just always loved that Vox type voicing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tri99er Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Damn that first clip sounds great, I already have bad Mesa gas since getting a Mark III, now I want a tremoverb, and now the lonestar is looking damn fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Check out the older Maverick. Very sweet tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FearMeWithMyLP Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yeah, that first clip was the one that sold me too! I love the Vox tone, but I keep reading the user reviews about the reliability issue, and I'm not going to lie. It scares me. Not to mention all the trouble I hear about going through just to change tubes. I am HORRIBLE at soldering, and don't want to deal with going to a tech over every little problem. How much does the lonestar usually run these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FearMeWithMyLP Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Check out the older Maverick. Very sweet tones. Just looked up the Maverick. That amp is nice too! I'm looking for clips right now. Looks like it's a good thing I didn't blindly buy the Vox without researching other options also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members almightycrunch Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 not a fan of the dirty tone in this clip, VERY thin to my ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BusterBuster Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can't hear it due to all the delay and flanging :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FearMeWithMyLP Posted March 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 bikehorn: Great sounding clip, although I like Edge's more sharp and sparkley tone (may be due to him using an LP, but still sounds great)! almightycrunch: I could see how someone would say it is thin, but one man's thin is another man's sharp! I don't like a whole lot of gain, and I like how there was a good amount of note articulation between the notes in the chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brick Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Lonestar hands down, its a whole lot versatile as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrispsullivan Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 Lonestar hands down, its a whole lot versatile as well i wouldn't consider it any more versatile at all i actually would bet money that the ac30 handles heavier tones much better than the lonestar it may be more versatile on the stage cause it has footswitchable channels, but overall i would actually say the ac30 is more versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grayeyes777 Posted March 9, 2008 Members Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm debating on selling my lonestar head. the 50/100 model mint with 34's and 6l6's. $1300 shipped with flip top road case? I don't know if I wanna let her go or not but I really want the MI Audio Amp bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
