Which Mesas sound the best at low volumes? Express, F-30? Not trying to achieve any certain tone, just a convincing crunch.

What are some bands that can provide some different examples of Recto tone? What bands have brutal Recto tone, what bands have ultra-compressed Recto tone? Petrucci, Mark Tremonti, and System of a Down are a few examples I can think of, but I don't know if their tones are brutal or compressed.

If I wanted to pull some tubes out of a Roadster to decrease the volume which ones would I pull, power or preamp or both? What is the minimum number of tubes I could safely use? I found that using only two Yellowjackets and Spongy brought the volume down to a decent practice level but I'd like...

I got a couple of Yellow Jackets for my Roadster. The instructions that came with them says to put them in the outer two slots or the inner two slots. Which two tubes are on when the 50 watts is selected? I don't know if I should set it up to be 50 watts = Yellowjacket tubes and 100 watts =...

Will they fit in a Roadster head? I've read about how they sound in rectifiers, but I want to make sure they'll fit. The guy I'm buying them from says you need about 6 inches of clearance and the Roadster head has a little less than 6 inches from my measurements. Thanks!

Can someone explain the path that the guitar signal takes when going through an amp, with regards to the controls? That is, guitar to preamp, the gain controls ________, then the signal goes to ______, master controls _____, and so on. I'm trying to better understand what my amp's controls do...

Every time I use my Roadster in practice I make it sound a little bit better. I love how my tone is in the amp, I just have to find it. I'm really jiving with the amp now, after having it for roughly 6 months... I feel like I'm finally coming to understand it. Today I bumped my mids up to around...

I just got my Roadster head back from the Mesa repair guy, and everything sounds fine. He said he had to take apart the chassis, and now a couple of my knobs are catching on the black grill- Channel 1 and Channel 3 presence knobs. Is there anything I can do about this without having to take it...

Original Dunlop Crybaby Wah w/ adapter - $60, great condition, barely used, bought it new recently. Mod it for true bypass or any other number of purposes. All prices include shipping to ConUSA. I can provide pictures if you'd like. PM me if you're interested, and thanks for looking![/b]

Has anyone dialed up something like his rhythm tone on Alter Bridge's first album? It's so huge! If I wasn't about to buy a backup amp I'd be buying his signature guitar!

I've read through the manual and I think I know what the problem is, but I'd like to see what you guys think about it. I was using my Roadster at practice last night in a college house that is not electrically grounded (but no rain or anything). After a minute or so of being on it popped and...

Is it possible to add/subtract gain using the loop level knob on the back of the Roadster?

Can I swap preamp tubes in my Roadster to get more clean headroom without sacrificing my dirty tones? I have stock preamp tubes and my power tubes are the Mesa/Semiens NOS EL-34s. Thanks!

Can someone explain the mystery behind the Treble knob on Mesas? My particular amp is a roadster. How exactly does the treble knob determine how much the other EQ knobs factor into the end tone?

I'm having issues getting enough clean headroom with my Roadster for live use. I've got a mad dirty tone on channel 3, vintage, 50 watt and diode. Spongy setting too. Les Paul, Pearly Gates bridge, channel 3 master at about 12. I'm running into an SD SFX-01 pickup booster, gain at about 12, so...

for certain guitar/pickup combinations, such as Les Paul/SuperDistortion? I find myself running the bass on my Roadster almost always around zero even with my alder strat and singles, but I'm intrigued by the SuperD/LP being such a classic combo.

What are the best pickups for getting badass chunky tone for shred type rhythm playing out of an alder strat? Any brand will do... my particular guitar has a rosewood board and my amp is a Roadster.

I'm falling more and more in love with my Roadster every time I play it. I had previously dismissed the brit setting, telling myself that I would wait to use it until I got some el-34s and could use it to its fullest potential. But today I turned the gain down to breakup level and wow! It sounds...

For those of you that have used el-34s in rectifiers, did it make the amp seem "brighter and thinner" as the Roadster manual says? I am thinking of trying some in my Roadster; I love the tone I'm getting with aps-2's in a strat on the Fat channel with max gain and I want to make sure that I...

Anyone have any experience with their Boogie and the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster pedal?
