Hi guys, Has anybody bought this unit yet? Since I love my Roadster, I don't want or need an Helix or Helix LT. The Helix HX Effects looks like a dream on paper since I just want to add nice effects on my clean and lead. However, the reviews aren't all that good... I read about tone sucking...

Hi guys! I searched the forum and couldn't find where to post this so, I hope it’s ok here! :) My band Luxtryxe (stands for Luck Strikes) just released its first studio album “Rise from the ashes”. I guess you can put us in the modern rock category, but we rather call it atomic rock ;)...

Hi guys! I don't know where to post this... I currently own a Mesa vertical cab (2x12) with V30 which I run with my Roadster. Although my tone is more than ok (I play modern rock), I wish I could find another speaker to swap in my cab to enhance my clean tone, without really impacting my dirt...

Hi guys! I bought a new Roadster about 2 ½ years ago I absolutely love it! Since I bought the amp, I haven’t touch any preamp tube except the V1 (Tung Sol). As long as powertubes are concerned, I think I changed the quad for Ruby’s the moment I purchased it, considering I loved the sound of...

Hi guys! Although I know tubes are quite unpredictable, I was wondering, considering I have a pretty big gig coming up in 7-8 weeks, if I should change (at least for the show) my powertubes. I've played with my Roadster head for about a year now, for a huge maximum of 8 hours per week, I...

Hi guys, I’m having an issue with my rig and I really don’t know how to solve it… I bought a Rivera RM-1 switching system (identical as the G-Lab GSC) for my Roadster. It has programming presets that allow me to choose the channel and the effects of my choice (stomp boxes all in front of the...

Hi guys! I run a Mesa 2x12 vertical cab with my Roadster head and it's awesome (I don't miss my 4x12 oversized cab at all). However, I’m starting thinking about buying a second one... My current cab (w/V30) would still be my main cab, but when the gigs and transportation would allow it, I...

Hi! I own a Roadster and would like an even better clean tone. A seller suggested me the JAN GE 5751, a 30$ tube. I was wondering if any of you guys ever tried it, in V2, 'cause that's where I would put it, since I don't want it to alter my dirt channels. When I mean "better" I don't...

Hi guys ! I'm really digging my new Roadster on all levels but since changing the tubes in my Single Rectifier made a night and day difference (for example, the amp became soooooo much tighter), I'm wondering if I could get a even better clean with some tube swap. Since my amp is new and...

Hi! I'm looking into getting one of those to end my switching quest, but I don't find any reviews. I want to use it to switch the 4 channels on my amp and FX on my pedalboard at the same time (stomp boxes only, all in front of the amp, none in FX loop). Anyone has ever used it with his...

Hi! I'm really digging my new Roadster head but have noticed the loop seem to suck tone. So I was wondering, since I need it, does the FX mix level behind the head affects/colors the tone of the amp the more it’s set high, or from the point the loop is ON, it doesn’t matter, like black and...

Hi guys! I bought 2 weeks ago a new Roadster head. So far I was pleased, but yesterday during a gig, I lost my clean channel ! (which is my Channel 2), no more sound or anything. I though a rectifier tube blown (even though the amp is BRAND NEW) but when I switched on diode, no sound either...

Hi fellow Mesa fan! Since I have my new Roadster, I find myself only using the 4 channels switches so, considering the HUGE size of the stock footswitch and the closeness of the switches, I'd like one that will suit my needs without taking that much place. Thus, I have 2 questions. I already...

Hi guys ! I just bought a new Roadster head and I'm so far a happy man! Since we're going to gig this weekend, I wanna be ready, knowing what to do if a tube fails. I know my amp is brand new but well, we never know. Preamp tubes I know they're more unlikely to fail than powertubes, but...

Hi guys! I just ordered a new Roadster head and I'm really excited about it! :D However, since I always put my FX in front of the amp, I now want to put put ALL my stomp boxes in the FX loop but was wondering if the order of the boxes would make a difference... In my chain, I'll have: - For...

Hi, As my title says, I'm looking for a Mesa Roadster head (not combo), as recent as possible (with warranty left), in excellent shape, and the "normal" black one. If you are in Canada, a Mesa Single Rectifier Serie II (excellent cond.), a Mesa 4x12 oversized cabinet (excellent cond.) and a...

Hi guys! I finally realized what I really wanted was a Roadster head. However, I could buy a combo 2x12 even cheaper around here but it's a 2007-2008 (don't know exactly). So my question is: " Is there any difference between a 2008 Roadster and a brand new one, except of course for the wear?"...

Hi guys, I'm really wondering what to do here... I have my Single Recto for my dirt tones which I LOVE (special selected tubes (non Mesa's)) with a Mesa vertical 2x12, and my JC120 for my cleans. On paper and for the ears, it's awesome, but since my band is doing more and more shows, I'd like...

Hi guys! I’m running a Mesa Single Rectifier with the same tubes for about 2-3 years (about 3 rehearses/week) and I was wondering if there was a real danger for the amp if I keep them a little while longer. Would it damage my amp if one (poweramp or preamp) dies during a gig? I have a backup...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about this for a while but I don't know if it's worth the pain. I have a Mesa Single Rectifier for my dirt stuff, which I love, and a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 for my cleans, which is great too. However, we did a gig last week and it was the first time I had to carry all my...
