I almost forgot that I did this post. About 3 years now, I still have this amp and I can't imagine myself without it. A perfect shot!

When I had my Roadster, I tried the Maxon OD808 and the Fulltone OCD. Ended up with a Digitech Bad Monkey, which pleased me better. And no, money was not an issue in that case.

Ok, Findthetone! ;) I'm on the the same spirits too. Peace

Ok Guru! It wasn't my intention to offend anyone's Ego. Take my posts as you want. Best regards

I have an Idea: Return it and before you buy another amp relying on other people's opinions/tastes, try by yourself as much as you can. There are 2 types of guys around: first type are people that actually play and make music, even that only at their homes. The second type are the guys that...

Forget it

Hi guys! Sad to notice that none of you know what's the REAL Rect(um) tone!! Just go here, scroll down to the "buts" and hit each one to know what a real Rect(um) sounds like: http://www.osvigaristas.com.br/animacoes/interativas/tipos-de-peidos-41.html Have fun ;)

What about G Lab products? They have the GSC line (GSC-2/3 or even GSC-1 depending on needs) which does everything than other with some adds. I mean, it may not have has much pedal loops as the Octaswitcher (has 6), but have power outlets for all of them, has MIDI, Tuner out and the possibility...

Hi! If it helps, I had a Roadster, but it wasn't what I was looking for, though it is a great amp. When I sold it, I tried several, including the Mark V, the Engl Invader 100 and the EVH 5150 III. I brought the last home. In terms of sound and feel it was the best for me. It's a very simple...

Try the EVH 5150 III's channel 2 (blue channel), using all the range of the gain knob. I'm glad I did, when I was choosing my new amp and bought it over the Mark V and Engl Invader. I was looking for something more than "medium gain" but I have the amp for 7 months and I've found that the blue...

Try a Digitech Bad Monkey. Way less expensive and great results. I've tried the Maxon OD808, the TubeScreamer Ts9DX and some others. Liked the Bad Monkey enough to buy one. Not to say that it was better than the others. They all sound different and I liked it when I had my Roadster. Of course...

I did it with a Roadster. I chose to have a tech doing a custom transformer in order to get it working instead of buying a transformer in a store. I gave him the specs of the amp and he did it accordingly. Never had a problem and I was able to get it for about 50 €, which is less than the 300 €...

Great! Is always nice to find portuguese people around. I've sold the Roadster because, honestly, it wasn't my kind of high gain amp. The type of distortion was just too loose for me. I liked very much the clean channel and was "ok" with one of the high gain channels for rythm. However, I could...

I'm from Portugal and had a Roadster brought from USA. I had the same issue, so I had to get a transformer for it. I chose to order a custom transformer from someone qualified to do it. I gave him the specs of the amp and he built me one. It was heavy, though. However, when I decided to sell...

I had a Roadster head and the same problem you are talking about. Everyone here will say that you're crazy and so on, but I understand what you're missing because it must be what I was too. Maybe it's not a matter of enough gain, but maybe some kind of quality in the gain department that some...

Hi everyone Let me do just an update. Well, I've tried some amps recently, namely the Mesa Boogie Mark V, the EVH 5150 III and the Engl Invader 100 in this order. I'll do a brief review of each one. I tried the Mesa Boogie and the Engl at moderate levels. The EVH I had to try it with lower...

Musifex sells them, but I don't know if they have one at the store to try. The Mark V was one oh the amps I would consider, but its price goes beyond what I want to spend right now. People say the EVH is great for recording and its 3 channels seems to be what I need. I'm also considering the...

“It is a great amp bud. CH3 is as tight or tighter then my MV for metal.” “ch.3 is a lead tone, very gained like the lead of 6505. high gain soldano type. works well for modern metal. i'd say its tight... but not in the same what that a mark amp would be.” Well… is it or it is not??? Ahah I...

Hi Rkorn Thanks for your invitation. I will accept, sure. I believe that there are similarities between the EVH 5150 III and the 6505 but at the end I believe that it's 2 different amps. I already sold my Roadster. Great amp, but not what I'm looking for. When I finish my master (in two...

Thanks droptrd I've seen it already. It's just that I'm lookink for opinios from people that actually plays/played the amp. In this threads there are allways 2 or 3 guys that actually have "touched" the thing and all the rest are just "internet readers" (as I am right now). I'll try one in...
