I 2nd getting the Head and 2X12 Cab. 100 lbs is too much for me. Plus, you have the option to get the Rectifier 2X12 Cab which will have more of a "stack" sound. The Roadster Cab should sound more like the combo if you're more into that. I'm very happy with my setup.

I purchased my Roadster Head last night. It's amazing! The best amp I've ever purchased (and I've had many). The Rectifier 2X12 Cab is a great match for my tones and playing style. I couldn't be happier.

I bought a Rectifier 212 Cab today at GC and it's awesome. I'll be adding a Roadster Head soon. I've had Stiletto Ace, F-100, and Lonestar 50/100 & Special Combos, but I'm moving on to the Head/212 Cab setup. I wish I'd done this a few years ago. Much easier to transport and sounds great.

Thanks for the input. The Roadster sounded awesome through the 212 Rectifier Cab.

If you were to buy just one MESA 212 Cab, which would you choose? a) Rectifier 212 b) Roadster/Stiletto 212 I'm looking into a Roadster Head. I tried it with a Rectifier 212 and it was great. Curious as to how the smaller cab sounds. Thanks!

Just about two years ago I attended a Mesa Boogie John Petrucci clinic in Detroit. I thought it was cool Especially if you're into Dream Theater or John's playing. The amp discussion that day centered around the Road King. He spent most of his time playing in the "vintage" setting and played...

It looks like Musician's Friend has temporarily pulled the 5150 III amp info. It did pull up when I searched "EVH" the other day. I'm sure it's still in the GC flyer though. Like you say, cool amp but way too much $$$ for what you get. I'll take my Stiletto anyday. The Peavey 6505 Series is...

No Typo. The 5150 III is out. Go to www.musiciansfriend.com to see the specs. They haven't loaded a picture yet. I got a flyer in the mail yesterday from GC about the EVH gear. On Sunday, June 17 the Platinum GC Stores or supposed to have a Relic and 5150III on display. The new GC flyer has a...

My local GC has the 5150 III Head in stock. It was connected to a Peavey Cab when I auditioned it. Cool amp. Three independent channels and finished in black tolex. The white tolex looks better (IMHO). Didn't seem as noisy as the originals. The clean was ok. The crunch & lead rocked. The Head is...

I tried a Legacy Combo and Carvin had to ship three units out until one worked correctly. I was overall disappointed with it and sent it back. The build quality varied from unit to unit. The sound was good, but not great. The reverb was horrible. The customer service was ok. It took three weeks...

Barry, Are you the guy that's been published on the Mesa website under user reviews? If so, your setup looks great. Good letters. Look forward to your Lonestar Classic review.

I'm thinking about getting the Clamshell Gig Bag for my Stiletto 112 Combo. http://www.studioslips.com/ I already have the Rock & Roller Cart to move it. I won't be taking it out that much. For my Lonestar Special 112 Combo I bought the Gator 112 case and works great.

I love my Stiletto Ace 112 Combo, and I just bought a Lonestar Special 112 Combo to compliment it. Low watt amps are the way to go for me.

With the Stiletto Ace and Roadster Combos, the speaker is completely sealed off. The tubes would probably last longer than in a traditional openback combo. I'm not too worried about it.

I watched Dream Theater's "Score" DVD over the weekend, and Petrucci's tone is amazing. If he was using the Lonestar/Roadking rig, he had ne problems getting a great lead tone. I attended one of his Mesa Boogie clinics nearly two years ago, and he said most of the he's using the "vintage"...
