I have owned a roadster 2x12 combo and am not thrilled with it. Maybe its me. I play pop and classic rock, no punk and no metal. I need two sounds, clean and classic crunch. My axe is a PRS custom 22. I can get some pretty good crunch tones out of channel 2 and 3 although both seem to have too much low end rumble no matter what I do. The real issue is the crean channel. I find I cannot get a really good "Fenderesque" clean tone out of channel one. I have tried different pick up combinations on the guitar, and have tried adjusting bass treble mid etc on the amp, but there always seems to be a low level of crunch or distortion present.
Maybe I bought the wrong amp for my needs, but, for $2200, I should be able to dial in any tone I want. I own a Fender Blues Deville and have no trouble getting good clean and classic overdrive rock tone with that. Some people have spoken of adding an equalizer to the effects loop. Is this the path I should take? If so can someone suggest a good eq unit?
After spending this much money, I am now willing to give up on my mesa so soon. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
