Description

The Mesa/Boogie Lone Star 2x12 Combo is a 50-watt tube amplifier combo delivering warm, articulate lead tone with excellent touch sensitivity. Its 2x12 speaker configuration provides room-filling volume and natural breakup. The Lone Star combo appeals to blues and classic rock players seeking portable tube tone.

The Suhr Bella 1x12 is a hand-wired valve combo from the boutique builder better known for its electric guitars, extending that reputation into amplification.

It suits blues, roots and classic rock players wanting a boutique-built combo from a maker whose guitars are already trusted by professionals.
