The 100 watt combo reminds me of a very badass twin...Andy Timmons,Petrucci etc use them

The lonestar is a pretty versatile amp. A guy I used to play with every week had one. I tracked the leads for his album with him using just his lonestar 1x12 combo and his 80's ProCo Rat pedal. It was a great setup for cleans to mild gain to smooth leads. No metal, but it did everything we asked it to very well.
I'd say it would kill as a top 40 style amp.
$.02

If he starts doing big venues, he's all over it
Hell, he didn't even TELL me he was in the band. Did the audition, and got the gig. Their first gig was on my birthday.....he wanted it to be a SURPRISE for me.
Dude did the gig with a Flextone II with no footswitch, no spare strings, cords or even pics..... and one strap for his electric and accoustic
Know what?....it rocked However....I'll be making sure he's a little better equipped for the next show

I had an '05, and I really didn't like it at all. More of a Twin with a tube screamer than Marshall with a SD1. Has a nasty midrange hump that can not be dialed out with EQ, can work good on the clean channel with the right box ( I used a Plexi Tube) and it weighs about 90 lbs. I used mine for 4 years for top forty wedding stuff and really tried to like that amp. If going the pedal route for gain go for a used 50 cal, F30 or F50 or even a Blue Angel for a lot cheaper and lighter.

I would take the Electra Dyne over any of the Lonestars. The Lonestar gets a little better of a clean, but the Electra Dyne does everything else much better IMHO. And the Electra Dyne clean is pretty good as long as it has the clean trim knob on the back. Plus, with a boost the Dyne gets into metal.
