Changing tubes on my Lonestar Classic, and I very stupidly had an el34 in the rectifier socket and the rectifier tube in the power socket. It was in Diode mode on Tweed. I was playing around with cabinets and twitched it to full power (I turned it off to switch) and when I turned it back on I saw small bit of smoke. It was on for 10 seconds in full power mode, then immediately unplugged. I pulled the chassis and didn’t see anything,,but there could be something hiding that can’t be seen. I turned it back on briefly, it’s sounds amazing, as always, but got in touch with Mesa tech support to send it in.

All are wonderful, but Blondie on the right is my fave. Had the neck and body made many years ago and its had several bridges and pickups and a million tweaks here and there, but that guitar is perfect. Mahogany with a thick quilted maple cap.
