Thanks!
I was really surprised at the price. It was listed at $1299, which honestly I thought was very reasonable any time, let alone now. Mesa picking’s on the GC used site have been so slim I was shocked when I saw it. Wasn’t seeing heads very often before Covid. I’ve wanted one for a long time and in person it definitely nails an aggressive Vox/Fender hybrid. I like the Special the best in the Lonestar family because it can get sounds like the amp is falling apart that the regular Lonestars can’t. GC even packed it fairly well. We all know what that wait is like, waiting on an amp from GC and wondering if they used more than one layer of bubble wrap this time and not two turntable boxes taped together..lol

How do you like the cleans?
I've always wondered how the clean tones were on the LSS compared to the LSC.

I can’t give a direct comparison to a Classic but the cleans are fantastic. They can be fat and jazzy, thin and jangly and everything in between. The amp gets dirty fast (which I like) and I would say excels at “dirty” clean but in 30 or 35 watt mode I bet you could have decent clean cleans, fairly loud, especially with a lower output guitar. From faint memory of a classic I would say the impact of the EL84’s is very noticeable on what it does to the mids and top end. More Vox like. Have an ext. cab with two alnico’s in it (one a blue) and can’t wait to hear it through that.
