5 Amps comparison by Marius Pop-Mesa Boogie, Fender Twin Reverb, Engl Screamer 50

Ciudat, mie-mi place cel mai ieftin ;) (fender twin reverb), parca are ceva 'filtru' si reda sunet mai personalizat

Amp ca amp...da chop-urile alea pe pentatonica sunt geniale. Ai feeling, my man! 😎

This guy making all amps sound good.

Twin reverb rules!!!

To me, the Twin Reverb sounds the best across all gain ranges. They were once the "industry standard" for a reason!. You can do any gig with a Twin Reverb. Second? Probably the Lone Star Special. Not bad sounding, but missing the shimmer of the Twin. The others, not my thing. Nice demo though and great playing!

Twin Reverb is the King of Clean -The Lonestar Special sounds 
Compressed

i'm a boogie fan, though have to admit, the fender sounds amazing for the style. very classy.

Mesa Lonestar Classic

Really enjoyed that! Can you do a video taking the Lonestar Special through its power settings and stages from clean to high gain? Regardless, I enjoyed your playing and the interesting comparisons.

Lonestar for sure

Very nice demo! Great playing. I was actually impressed with the Twin as a pedal platform! I guess Fender tone has been hard wired into our Rock n Roll DNA? After that, my ear kept being peaked by the Lone Star.

Love to hear this without the pedals.

reliability wise there is no contest the twins survive while mesa amps need a mesa lab to go with them. if it's for studio/home use of one user who knows not to flip to tweed mode by mistake every time while turning off, and likes that empty hollow sterile sound than ok but on the road mesa fails and all the mini toggle switches are like landmines in the dark, the amps weigh more and it's much more difficult to dial in a tone for the first time .the fender custom modified 68(mexican silverface with a bassman tone stack for the left channel) sound much better than 65ri and offer more versatility and a more balanced tone but suffer from noise issues after a while. so from my experience it's better to get a used mark 4 or a 90's used twin ri than new lonesters or twins. but if you have no choice and you are stuck with a new lonestar: 1.try using the bottom channel for clean since the amp is lacking so much midrange with single coil pickups 2.always use the wheels to move the amp never take them apart 3. put a mullard i63 preamp tube at v1 at least. 4.carry extra fuses 5.never use it on daytime gigs /hot climate it overheats easily never turn off the fan.6.use the el34 option with mese el34 tubes it sounds much better and less sterile

Suena cojonudo!!👍

Categoria ....MAESTRU ! Mulțumesc , Marius !

Lonestar classic and Twin sound equally good!

It's a toss up between the twin and the lonestar classic I'd say I prefer the lonestar but if you want a little more chimey action go for the fender!!!! great playing dude!!!!

Great playing! Which scales did you use in the chromatism in your playing? I want to get out of pentatonics, and solo kinda “jazzy” like on this video.

Lonestar Classic...HANDS DOWN!

Your playing makes all these amps sound great!

I'm partial to the Express. It's got a slight "punch" that sets it apart. Heh, maybe because I own one.

Hey Marius! Do you think Screamer is a good choice for its money? Especially when planning to play Extreme-like music style.

I had my doubts, but the Fender carries all the character and attributes the soul needs to speak what I needs to say.

ENGL is the most versatile from jazz to higain, and durable too which last longer...

Enjoyed this very much! Love your playing!

Lonestar Special!

Fender for clean sounds rules. Beautiful sounds and play Man👏

Nice riffing. They all sound the same. But they sure look nice.

Superb playing dude , which off the amps do you over all prefer

Fast forward 2 years later.
now this LoneStar is Discontinued .
Why?
Well I heard because certain Parts were hard to get for this particular amp?
Anyone ?
what Parts are hard to get?
HOW will that affect current owners of a lonestar?
WHAT IF A PLAYERS LONESTAR AMP NEEDS SOME SPECIFIC REPAIRS ?
WILL THE AMPS SOUND CHANGE BECAISE OF THAT HARD TO FIND PART ISNT AVAILABLE?
I HAVE A LONESTAR SPECIAL AND really want A lonestar CLASSIC
Just worried about those parts thay aren't available anymore as of he can't build new lonestar amps without these parts
Someone Seriously Please Reply to my Question !
Much Appreciated!
Cheers!
Cheers!

Fender all the way！！！

Beautiful playing! Made them all sound great!

This guy could make any amp sound special.

This cat is so f**king good I would've bought any one of those amps based on his playing. WOW. Can anyone tell me where to find the players that can play this stuff these days. Killer funk/Texas blues NEVER get's old. But, few people play it anymore. I'm glad I stumbled across this guy.

I own a twin and a lonestar along with a few other amps and they are both stellar. I lean towards the lonestar for its versatility but I will never sell either. I will say I have the lonestar in a head so it’s more convenient and the twin is seriously a pig. It is heavy!!!
I never would take it to a gig because it’s brutally loud and heavy… but equally awesome. Both amps in combo form literally have to have wheels
😂😂😂

I’m using a fender twin but I’ve been looking for a fat overdrive tone (as in Santana). What pedals would you recommend?

I'll take the Twin. You carry it...

Thank U, very well done !

I should do an amp review like this. A Boogie S O B-60/100w, a pro tube Twin 60/100w, a Lab Series L5 100w S S. Would be fun.

I'm quite baffled from the differences between the lonestar special and classic. If I remember correctly the only difference should be on the power amp configuration, which doesnt' justify such a huge difference in tone. Maybe they were run on different gain/tone settings? All tones are excellent by thg way, such a great collection of amps.

I have the special and the classic and gig with both. Both are killer amps

Nice playing. The Lone Star might be boogies best clean sound. Had one for 5 years

That ENGL screamer hung with the big guns nice playin bro
