Lonestar is one of the Mesa amps I have never owned. No workie today after a busy week,
so I think I am going to have a play with that model on the Fractal.

It's good. I wish they'd do a Fillmore though, because I think it's a better evolution of the "Fendery" thing.

I always really wanted to like the Lonestar amps but they always disappointed me.

That was during Mesa’s dark times when they were making amps with more and more bells & whistles that all sounded dull and lifeless.

I just kinda wish the Fillmore had been a little squishier to really replicate that "Fendery" thing.

Can you guys talk any MORE about Mesa amps and Fractal modelers?

Which is interesting because it seems to be a selling point for the Multi Watt Rectos now. People often say how much better the clean is and I believe that it's a copy of the Lonestar. Not that people are necessarily buying a dual rec for Lonestar cleans lol

That's like Mesa's entire thing. Nothing but "dark times" from beginning to now.

That's like somebody saying none of Rush's albums were any good until Counterparts. Sheesh

I haven’t played one of the new multi watt rectos. But I thought the cleans on my 3 channel Dual Rec sounded better than any Lonestar I ever played

The Mark V and Electra Dyne were the turning point for me.

I’d abandoned Mesa for a long time and the first time I played a Mark V my first thought was “Cool, Mesa started making amps that sound good again!”

I agree. I think the Fillmore is a major improvement over the old Lonestar in that area though.

I thought the Cali Tweed do that pretty well

Ive played the TC100, Dual Rec MW, Single Rec, Dual Rec 3 channel, and Mark IV. I think the Mark IV is my favorite
