Hi guys, Has anybody bought this unit yet? Since I love my Roadster, I don't want or need an Helix or Helix LT. The Helix HX Effects looks like a dream on paper since I just want to add nice effects on my clean and lead. However, the reviews aren't all that good... I read about tone sucking...

I run my Roadster through my 2x12 vertical Mesa and never looked back! Even my guitarist with his Diamond head bought a Mesa 2x12 cab. They sound huge and tight!

My pleasure! Although I never heard Rubys were crap, I did hear de JJs have a less lifetime than other brands. I'm still running my first quad and so far so good. But tone wise, they're the best so far in my Roaster, at least for the dirt side! (I also tried the TADs) But my cleans are nice as...

If I'm not misled, Mesa stock poweramp tubes are Rubys rebranded, at least in the Roadster. I personaly own a Roadster, and while the Rubys made a great difference in my Single Rectifier, they didn't at all in my Roadster. I couldn't see the difference either. But the JJs 6L6s I now have in my...

thanks! :)

Hi guys! I searched the forum and couldn't find where to post this so, I hope it’s ok here! :) My band Luxtryxe (stands for Luck Strikes) just released its first studio album “Rise from the ashes”. I guess you can put us in the modern rock category, but we rather call it atomic rock ;)...

Hi guys! I don't know where to post this... I currently own a Mesa vertical cab (2x12) with V30 which I run with my Roadster. Although my tone is more than ok (I play modern rock), I wish I could find another speaker to swap in my cab to enhance my clean tone, without really impacting my dirt...

I tried both in my Roadster. I replaced the stock Mesa 6L6 by Rubys 6L6 and they seem pretty familiar, if not identical, sounded fine. I tried a quad of TAD 6L6 and hated them because they sounded really too marshally for my tastes, I mean, too smooth and not agressive enough, too "polished"...

Hi guys, I wanna thank you for hearing me out. I just can’t believe what the problem really was… After I changed the powertubes and the V1 tube without any change or whatsoever, I decided to use my other guitar… ya know, in case! WELL, I haven’t encountered this kind of problem with a guitar...

Thank you. I planned to troubleshoot as you told me maybe this weekend, however I didn’t have the chance to do anything, in the middle of my rehearsal yesterday evening, in a middle of a song my amp decided it was enough! No more sound. I changed my cable, nothing. I pluggued directly into the...

Hi guys! I bought a new Roadster about 2 ½ years ago I absolutely love it! Since I bought the amp, I haven’t touch any preamp tube except the V1 (Tung Sol). As long as powertubes are concerned, I think I changed the quad for Ruby’s the moment I purchased it, considering I loved the sound of...

For me it was Creed. The tone of Tremonti on the Human Clay album is still one of my fav! Of course in Alter Bridge too, it's different and not 100% Recto (Ubershall). Although I dont like them, I have to say I really dug the Nickelback live tone I heard on youtube, when they played the Sad but...

Same as me! Really great sounding amp, very versatile, and I must confess that I'm now totally addicted to the 4 channels! So many possibilities!

Yeah... I have 4 Ruby's waiting but considering putting non-Mesa tubes in the amp may void the warranty, I bought Mesa tubes last week and I'll put those in for now. I will try the Ruby's soon enough though, my Single Recto was a complete other beast once all the tubes changed (preamp and...
