I don't think you'll get very good results amp modeling through your Lonestar.
If you get a Marshall G'vnor you'll get Marshall sound. Vox has their coltron series. There was another new series out for vintage sounds from the 60's and 70's but right now I can't seem to remember who from. I think you'll be better off making use of your great amp and color the sound with different pedals. I promise you that the sound will come out a lot better. -------------------- My bands homepage

You can't really model those amps to great on Mesa. It will sound like Mesa in the end. If you buy a modeling device, it is best to plug it into monitor speakers, or keyboard amp that will not alter the sound that much.
However you can try new Boss Fender modelling pedals, or as MickeM suggested, try some Marshall pedals. I used bluesbreaker, and Guvnor is a good choice as well to get close to Marshall sound. I repeat it will not sound too much like Marshall or Fender even with those.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Ivan is right, in the end it will always sound like a Boogie in your setup. If you really want to get away from that sound you should really consider to either buy a different amp or to go for a pod/pandora/whatever amp modeler and run it through some kind of power amp.

Amp modeling works better without an amp in the way...
Well, it was amp modeling that caught my attention more towards Line 6 than boss products. I'd say that Line 6 is all about flexibility. Well, a guitar, cables and a POD X3 is all you need to reach virtually any sound. Well, and it can also be used for voice, acoustic or bass guitar. For the size and price of the package it is a a good option. That was my option as I am not buying a good amp any soon. Actually, it is not a problem at all to go for a small gig with POD directly into PA. You just have to be sure to hear yourself (or use earphones)... If you want more specialized amp modeling (specially for recording) I'd say guitar rig 3 is also a good way to go. I used it only once, but my overall impression was that there are much less models but it has higher model quality than line 6 (which is already good).
