Just curious if any of you have owned one (or both) and an unbiased opinion if there is a major difference in tone/sound. I own the 1x12 and am very happy with it. Just curious what the advantage of the 2x12 would be and if it's a significant difference. There are a couple used 2x12's in a local...

Yeah, you definitely have to remove the power tube...I changed my V1 and V2 last night and still had to unscrew the top mount to pull the chassis partially out so that I could get to V1 & V2, they're trapped behind the transistor. Even with my small hands couldn't unscrew the caps and get tubes...

A couple quick questions for experienced roadster owners.. 1: Any tube recommendations for Aggressive Hard Rock (lots of palm muting), need tightness in low-end bottom sound, think sounds like Hum, Jane's addiction, Quicksand, Helmet, etc. I am currently using V1 Tungsol, V2, Tungsol, V3 7025...

For some reason with the caps on I'm getting a slight drop in output when my effects loop is engaged. I tested without the caps on everything was spot on. Debating on keeping the caps off due to this. Any final thoughts before my next band practice (thursday)? Cheers, jp

Is there any functional purpose for these caps? I just noticed that a couple of them were loose and were screwing up my effects loop. V1 is really hard to get the tube/cap on (unless you take out the chassis) because it's behind the transformer. Would it be bad for any reason to leave the cap...

thanks for your reply, I'll get a new tube cheers, jp

Yes, I keep the FX level at noon as Mesa recommends....Why would it be V5 preamp tube? Also, is there a test you can do by flicking them to see if they're still good?

Hey Y'alls- Hoping someone can help me with this issue. I'm having a significant drop in output on channel 2 with my effects loop engaged (probably about 30-40% loss) and slight loss of output in channel 3 and 4 too. I've checked every pedal cable and possible weak link in my pedal chain and...
