Interesting. I'm curious as to what market they're heading for with this...

Re: New Mesa Lone Star

Country/Western? With that name I would lean that way. Perfect amp for Joe then. lol Those Jersey boys love their country/western.

Re: New Mesa Lone Star

I seriously doubt it's the country market, with a high-gain mode, but I could be wrong. (After all, I've now seen several country artists using PODs in theor live rigs.)

I am surprised the power section is just 6L6s, though - maybe it's aimed at the boutique, Fender-style amp market?

Looks like a cool amp, and I bet it would be great for "classic" rock.

I know, I was just messing with Joe. Yeah looks like they are shooting for a boutigue style amp. Looks cool. I'd like to here what it sounds like. And know how much they are charging for it also.

We Jersey boys don't listen to no stinkin' country! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] To me, it seems like they're going a little for a Matchless or Hiwatt type of vibe.

Yeah Vox also. It's got that kind of a look to it. If they price it in the range of those amps I don't think it will fair that will. Unless it sounds phenominal.

There's already a review on Harmony for one.

Looks like 1500 is the going rate. Sounds like an interesting amp.

Re: New Mesa Lone Star

And probably less that 1,500 for the head...

This might make a nice compliment to the Road King...
