Hmm you also wanna make sure your amp is NOT being powered to your power conditioner (if you're using one). A live sound tech at one of my band's last gigs told me to keep my Roadster head on a separate power source to reduce hum & noise. Did that and it helped reduce noise quite a bit. Dunno...

I just got a Ground Control Pro & GCX audio switcher for my Roadster Head & G-Major. Works fantastic and I throw a couple of pedals in the audio switcher too, change everything with ONE button. Love it, I hate tap-dancing on stage turning on/off multiple pedals

oh and I forgot to add that I usually try to go with processors as much as possible. I find most plugins aren't that great, unless you're using higher end programs & can afford them. I would try both and see what you like more; personally, I'm not a fan of software choruses but the reverbs &...

Generally I like to record all my guitars dry and add effects later. I usually setup processors on an aux and add effects. I find it's much easier to match effect settings that way and it's more flexible for tweaking purposes and future edits. Hope this helps!

i got the Core X2s on musician's friend because the cable station were out of stock. Works great!

Thanks guys, I noticed quite a difference by boosting the mids! I'm currently using a DS-1 and it gives a bit more chunk for riffs; I shut it off for big chords to clean up the sound a bit. I hear the Maxon is awesome... wanna try one out eventually

Thanks, I'll try them this weekend! If they dont provide ample attack, suggestions? I want to try to avoid running a distortion pedal thru the front...we'll see!

Hey does anyone else have difficulty in getting attack out of Roadster's distortion channels? I use Ch 3 so far for my leads and Ch4 for my rhythm (both I use on Modern mode). I'm running an Ibanez RG320QS with DiMarzio D-Sonic and Air Norton pickups as well as a Epi Les Paul Std w/ PAF...

Hey guys, I just got a GCX Audio Switcher to switch channels on my Roadster head. My only question is, for relay switching, does it matter what type of cable is used? I know it's a 1/4" cable but does its quality matter? Can i get cheapo $2 cables just for switching and use the good quality...

Dude, a PRS?!?! All my ex g/f gave me was one of those d'addario pint glasses w/ 10 packs of strings... wonder why she's my ex?? >=) But yea, the Roadster is awesome... my only complaint is that it needs a distortion pedal in front to give it a bit more attack for solos & metal chugs, IMO

I got CoreX2 gold tipped ones, which are basically rip-offs from Planet Waves cable station (hey that's all that guitar center had!)... they sound great! I just got some cable station for a new rack I'm building :D

marry that woman immediately...

I was narrowed down to a Dual Rec & Roadster and the Roadster won for a few reasons: 1) the versatility 2) the cleans 3) the distortion has something a bit thicker than the Dual Rec to me & my ears. Get a Roadster, you won't regret it!

TS-9 eh? I have a Boss DS-1 but haven't tried it through the Roadster yet. Anyone else try it? I've used it on Marshalls and it sounds great but I hear the TS-9 is better.

Hmm I have a new Roadster head and get a pretty brutal heavy tone out of it on CH 4 modern. Here's what I put it at: Master: 10:00 Pres: 9:00 (gives a bit more chunk w/ lower presence IMO) Bass:11:30 Mid: 8:30-9:00 Treble: 1:00 Gain: 3:00 (anything higher is too noisy) Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I'm a proud new Roadster head owner! I recently ordered a GCX audio switcher to control all the channels via midi (and run a couple of pedals through). I have one question though: I'm running a Behringer FCB1010 and a G-Major processor. The GCX manual says something about the...

Thanks man... yea the dual & triple recs "only" have 3 channels lol... but the roadster & RK have like 1023987023948 so switching is a bit more difficult. Yea I was thinking to buy the CFX4 and use the G-Major for turning the solo channel on/off like you mentioned. I usually use some sort of...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and am going to purchase my brand spanking new Roadster head today after work!! yay! My question was as follows: How do I switch between the 4 channels on the head via MIDI? I am currently running a G-Major and a Behringer FCB1010 foot controller and I know...
