I had the chance to play the 1×12″ version of the Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special today at a local music store. Very nice amp with killer tone. Not sure it’s worth the money in the scheme of things but we’ll see after I have some other amps to compare it to. Great tone and two channel design. One of the things that drew me to the amp was the output wattage switch that allows you to choose between 5,15 or 30 watt configurations. However, as I had previously read in a couple of other posts, this really doesn’t do much other than give you options when it comes to head room. The 5 watt setting is very close in volume to the 30 watt setting. I’m begginning to think that I won’t find exactly what I’m looking for with out going to something like the Maven Peal (and I don’t think that’s even an option due to price).
