Seriously the best clean amp ever and the drive suits my more indie/emo/alt rock project very well.
I got the Emperor used in the middle of a tour, traded my serial #001( ) Electricamp 6x12 for a pair of Emperor 4x12s one with v30's and one with G12T-75's. They were #19 & #20 Sean dated them for me because he recognized the birthmark on one. He said they were from the very first order of cabs they ever made and sold to someone who wasn't a close friend or made for themselves. After I heard that, I wish I hadn't sold the G12T-75 one to my friend because he will not sell it back. Sean even offered to make me new cabs to trade back for them. Haha.
I've heard great thing about those lonestar heads, I believe the guitarist from Minus the Bear uses a 2x12 combo version and it sounds stellar. I've never had much luck with mesa's but i have heard plenty of them sounding great in peoples rigs. I'm a huge stickler for the stained wood aesthetic as well.
Electricamp #001 6x12 you say? Did it happen to be orange? Cause I believe there's a chap in the on this forum whom has it now! Well he might not have it anymore he was trying to sell it / trade it for another 4x12. That's crazy about your emperor cab's, low serial number ones are hard to come by and i can see the crew wanting to get them back. Oh and if your friend won't sell it back..... he's not really a friend.

Yeah both Dave and Jake use Lonestar combos to my knowledge.
Yeah it was Orange! It's the actual Orange one on the Electric Amp website. Thing sounded amazing. But really, it was mostly like furniture in my practice space since I hated moving it and didn't want to beat it up because of the serial number... I toured with 4x12's most of the time so it just made sense. I love the Emperor stuff though, probably even more than the Electric to be honest. I've had more cabs from Emperor, but I never leave shit alone. I'm honestly more torn up about what serial #001 could be worth one day on that Electric.
Wow dude those are some great looking rigs!!! and that lonestar is just gorgeous!!!!
Yup that's the Electric 6x12!!! My friend wayne had it (and might still I'll have to hit him up he's EmptyParadigm on here) and crazily enough he ran a 5150 through it as well!!!
Here's what I'm currently rocking..
the 2x12 in the bottom center has been traded out for a 2x15 as seen here:
I also have a love for tele's like you:

I'm familiar with that Electric 6x12. Wayne from Quiet Hands has it now. My band just put out a split with his band. If you're feeling nostalgic about it you can check it out here: http://divinemotherrecordings.bandcamp. ... ands-split
My Epiphone Valve Jr. head atop a cabinet that my hippy friend Gerald recycled from a dead Epiphone Galaxie 10. Not spectacular, but a good platform for copious amounts of fuzz. Loud enough to make my wife yell at me down the laundry chute. Guitar is my Gibson Melody Maker Flying V. Godzilla and Bronto are for M0J0 TOANZ.
