    My Roadster Won't Get Clean Enough (Does This Sound Right?)

    I can't get my Roadster to produce a clean sound at a high volume. It's always a little overdriven. Here's a short audio sample so you can hear what I mean. http://www.popcultureaquarium.com/jamestroska/RoadsterClean.wav For testing purposes, the Mode was set to "Clean"; The Gain was set to...

    First Gig With The New Roadster

    Very, very pleased. I had an unimportant, low-paying gig in a sleazy bar so I figured I'd use it as an opportunity to road test my fairly new Roadster amp. I was playing with a classic / pop rock cover band and set my channels to (1) Tweed ; (2) Brit @ 50 watts ; (3) Vintage @ 50 watts ; (4)...

    Do Any Effect Units Directly Utilize Mesa's Switching Jacks?

    I'm trying to think of the tidiest way to add effects to my Roadster. I don't use effects much so I don't want to clutter cramped stages with wires and mess for just a few songs. But there will be times when I'm asked to play U2 or Rage Against The Machine and then I'll need effects. Do any...

    Roadster + 2x12 Stiletto. Good for Low to Moderate Volume?

    A music store by me is offering a really good package deal on a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster in a beautiful red crocodile leather with a matching crocodile 2x12 Stiletto cabinet. I don't really need an amp. I already have a perfectly good Line6 amp that is perfect for my bar cover band...

    Are MK V Combo and Head Voiced the Same?

    Does anybody know for sure if the Mesa/Boogie MK 5 amp is voiced exactly the same in both the combo and head formats? In other words, if I played the MK 5 head into an open 1x12, would it sound the same as the combo? I'm thinking I may go with a head version. But I'd probably use it with a...
