What about the dual isn't doing it for you?

if the dual is hitting every mark bar that, try an eq pedal for leads i reckon, that 100 or so bucks could save you having to buy a new head (although you could use it as an excuse)
I've never played a Mesa Roadster,
But in my personal opinion, from the videos I've seen I think the Roadster has very good leads, Not quite as "aggressive" as a Triple Recto or a Road King.
The clean leads somewhat remind me of a Stiletto, :roll:
I'd say get a Roadster for your leads and keep your Dual Recto for rhythm.
But that's just my personal opinion.

That's a good idea, If you are having trouble with your Dual Recto and leads, Try some different "EQ" or "Boost" Pedals.
I'd suggest trying out the SFX-01 Pickupbooster by Seymour Duncan?

The sound is very tinny and ice pickey, and from what I've heard, I like the Roadster rhythm tone more as well, so I think I may be selling my Dual in the future haha. Not to mention better cleans, better mid gain range, more options........... :twisted:
How is the Roadster for leads? AWESOME!
I never owned a Dual Solo, but I did own a Triple for 5+ years and could never say that about it's lead tones.
My $0.02.

+1. Also, IMHO you can not go wrong with a good ol' TS-9. I've really grown to like my Danelectro CCTO as well, best $40 I've spent lately.
Try using a boost in the Orange Channel - Vintage - Bold - Diode.
Channel Master at 12:00
Output 10:30-11:00 (LOUD)
Gain 1:00-1:30
Treble 12:30-1:00
Mids 10:00-12:00
Bass 10:00-11:00
Presence 9:00 or lower.
Tweak from there
That's about where my Roadster is with the CCTO & Les Paul with Bill Lawrence L-500XL & 500R. A good quality delay in the loop can help 'fill out' single notes as well.
