I do not have much experience with Mesa amps at all. I had a Crate tube amp that broke and had alway's wanted to get a Mesa based off of things I heard. I had to scrape together money to by one and ended up with an Express 5:50 2x12 combo. I have since sold a couple guitars and am thinking of returning the amp (I have 4 day's left) and getting a Roadster Combo instead. I am not playing out at all. It is just in my room with backing tracks. I play mostly instrumental stuff. Everything from Vai, Satriani stuff to blues and jazz. I do have a Tube Screamer and DS1 I am using when I need some extra gain but can't help but wish I had an amp with a lot of gain. Can I get some help in making this decision. My big hesitation with the Raodster is that my 5:50 currently has the volume on 1. That is about as high as it is going to go especially with a baby on the way. I do not know if the roadster is just going to be overkill or if it will handle low volume as good as the 5:50 seems to. Please help. I am open to other suggestions as well.
