+1 to jdurso - clean boost and MXR EQ in the loop. Especially on Ch 4 Modern!

Confirmed - preamp tube swap did the trick! Had a band practice this morning and my Roadster is back to tonal awesomeness. Fat mode is dialed back in and sounding so sweet. Thanks jdurso, kicked the presence up a bit really did the trick! Thanks to everyone for their replies!
