Members Randy Van Sykes Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 The clean tone on this amp is awesome, but I keep reading that a lot of people think that channel 2 can't do hard rock tones...I think it's great for that as well. Sounds really fat and has great sustain. This is a Wolfgang guitar (no pedals) into channel 2 with the gain dimed...treble 2:30mid offbass offpresence 10:00master volume loud into a single C90 speaker miked with a Shure 57. http://www.mp3lizard.com/download.cfm?id=25331 Another quick clip miked with an EV408...http://www.mp3lizard.com/download.cfm?id=25332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarplayer Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Very very excellent tone. You do the right thing always with your clips. You give us some riffs to hear single notes and you give some chord progressions. I hate it when people just post up a bunch of lead notes. I also want to hear if the amp is muddy with chords and how it sustains. Great job as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Randy Van Sykes Posted November 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 first clip with this amp that i've heard that i like.This shows all the gain that the amp has. The more you turn up the gain the more you need to increase the treble, and lower the mids and bass, to keep it from mushing out.I personally would back the gain off and bit and add back in some mids and bass...go for more of a fat Andy Timmons tone.

Members telephant Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 The lead tone sounds great. the rhythm sounds good too, but different. Sort of like a recto but not... But it sounds as if it has a similar low end, with a different mid emphasis than Im used to hearing. Not quite as low as a recto, but not quite as high as a Marshall. I think the voicing sounds really unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Mesa and their bazillion options...half power, 10 watt mode, tweed mode, thick switch, even thicker switch, tube rectifier, SS rectifier, runs on 6L6 or el34, etc...

Members Randy Van Sykes Posted November 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Tell me about it. About as complicated as I get is, "should I use a y cable or a patch cable today?" Actually all the options on this amp make good sense. I could see me needing a lot of them one day, maybe in a recording session...the 'tweed' setting sounds Have you tried one of these? I think you'd dig it...ya know, you're in Texas the amp's named a Lonestar. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Exocaster Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 That's some fine tone and playing! I was a little skeptical at first when I saw "mid off" and "bass off", but my skepticism was unwarranted, apparently. I've been curious about the Lonestar's gain channel; I haven't heard a gain clip from one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloodsCFHCG Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've always dug the Lonestars, sounds very good! There's a reason Andy Timmons uses one. How about some clean clips? I've never heard any around here, maybe I just missed them though.Awesome playing too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been curious about the Lonestar's gain channel; I haven't heard a gain clip from one before. That's how I would set it for full gain.I ended up finding a great breakup tone, good for pedal boosting by backing the gain off to about 1:30....then I could dial the mids and bass up to 9:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about some clean clips? I've never heard any around here, maybe I just missed them though. Awesome playing too! The clean tone is just a perfect Fender clean to me.I just gashed my baby finger at work, so no more clips or playing for at least a week for me damnit.
