Just picked up a mesa Roadster, used off of Craigslist. I read the entire manual and am messing with settings.
I'm getting a nice sparkly powerful distortion on channel 3. Now, when I turn to channel 4 there is a noticeable drop in volume and especially highs. Settings are absolutely identical. Every knob and switch.
Now what is supposed to happen, I believe, is that I should have even more highs on channel 4 because the only difference between channels is the taper of the presence knob. The presence knob on channel 4 is more aggressive so with identical settings it should be brighter with more grind.
I'm getting less sustain too.
Any ideas? Preamp tubes, perhaps? It's bumming me out on my new amp day!!
Thanks,
Mike
