Out of the blue at my last gig , I experienced a big volume drop - something like a 40-50% drop. It's never happened before. I'm using winged =c= power tubes which I tried swapping back to the stock Mesa tubes - didn't make any difference (other than worse tone from the mesa tubes). So if...

For those of you in the UK or Europe and looking for a smaller footswitch, these guys have offered to build me one for £110 - http://buzzelectronics.co.uk Design-wise, it would look like the below link (but obviously won't be MIDI). Dimensions would be 230x145x55mm – much more practical...

Last night mid-show, my roadster head suffered a MASSIVE drop in volume - easily more than a 50% drop - for no apparent reason. I didn't have time to check the cables on the fly, and luckily as I'm a frontman, I was able to let our other guitarist carry the rest of the show while I just sang...

So I've had my Roadster head for about 18 months now I guess, and whilst I love the rhythm tones I get, I've never been able to get a good enough lead sound. I find that it feels 'difficult' to get notes out - especially in faster runs. It doesn't sound or feel as fluid or as smooth as I'd...

Hi all, I'm getting some probs with a Dual Recto Reborn that I've recently acquired. It's very noisy and I can't seem to pinpoint what the problem is - I think it might be a shielding issue somewhere but I really don't know enough about this sort of thing to make a properly educated guess...

Last night at rehearsal my Roadster head was very noisy on channels 3 and 4. 1 & 2 were quiet as a mouse - perfect. But Channel 3 is my main channel and so the noise was really frustrating. Couldn't spot it when playing, but as soon as I stopped the noise become apparent. This is with the...

2 of my band mates have the newer Dual Recto Reborn and it sounds awesome - but I can't seem to get their tone using my Roadster head and I'm at a loss as to why. I've got a Tung Sol in V1 and some other nice tubes in the other spots based on recommendations on here, I've also retubed the...

Just want to see if anyone can compare the 2 for me? I'm looking at the TAD's mainly due to price, but have read a few good reports online as well - however no one seems to mention how they sound when compared to the Mesa STR 400 or up against the Winged C. I've read that the Winged C's are...

Right so I've had my Roadster for about 3 months now, really really happy with it - it's a million miles more satisfying than my old Marshall DSL 50, but now I'm thinking I should get some new power tubes - I bought the amp used and the previous owner said he'd never changed the tubes in the 3...

Hey guys, My Roadster is giving me more trouble and I have a pretty important gig this coming weekend so I really hope you can help me diagnose it (especially there isn't a single amp tech within a 100mile radius of where I live - d'oh!). At a gig last night, during soundcheck I noticed that...

Just wondered if anyone would care to share their settings for this seemingly cursed channel? try as I might, I just can't get a good sound out of it. My settings for the channel change daily as I'm just not happy with it, however , I'm current running the treble and presence higher as, pure...

Last night, about halfway through our set, my Roadster head suddenly lost about 95% of it's volume onstage. I still had some volume but it was negligible almost impossible to hear. I had to power it off and back on again to get my sound back - it happened twice during the evening, but did...

(apologies in advance for the newb questions which are about to follow!) So my Roadster is due to arrive on Monday, but I have loads of questions which I hope you guys can help me out with :D I'm in the UK, but the amp is a US model Roadster head (2007) and so is coming with a step-down...

Hi guys, So after a year or so of deliberating and being unhappy with my Marshall DSL50 I finally pulled the trigger on a Roadster head today on Ebay at an awesome price. I'm currently super stoked waiting for it to arrive but I want to stock up on some spares. Can anyone tell me - would this...

I may be about to buy one of these (it's a choice between this or a Rect-o-verb combo to save some space) Is there anything I should be concerned about with the head? Any common problems that I should keep an eye open for? Likewise - are there any mods that you'd recommend I should do to...

Hi guys, I currently have a Marshall DSL50 with a 1936 cab (loaded with 1 x G12-75t and 1 x Eminence Texas Heat). Following a series of faults and poor customer service from Marshall, I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a new Dual Rec, but was wondering whether you guys think this cab...

Hi guys, I'm looking to get some new tubes for my Rect-o-verb 50 combo (just as a backup set), but I have no idea about tubes and was wondering if you could recommend the best ones to get that will work and sound good in my amp. There seem to be so many on the market and I really don't know...
