new member looking for advice on roadking 2

[colinboy]

Hi all,

this is my first post.i am looking for advice from people who play and own roadking 2 amps.ive recieved a brochure on the boogie range recently from the local distributors.
i play alot of different styles of music from heavy metal to classic rock,jazz,blues,pop,country etc.i was told that the roadking would be right up my alley as it has such a wide variety of tones with its valve swithing and channels etc.i also the mark IV is a great amp.

i need advice from people who play these amps please,

thanks in advance

I own the RKII and used to be skeptic of it kind-of, loving my tone more or less from one day to the next. Then I realized it's just because of the bad soundscape in my room, but trust me it is heavenly in practically every setting. The cleans are amazing. I'm not a jazz player, but when I plug it in I play my Les Paul like it's a big bodied archtop with all sorts of smooth chords on Ch 1 and 2. Ch 2's Brit mode is also very fun to experiment with getting a nice crunchy breakup. I own a combo and have a 2x12 recto cab which is nice with the cab switching feature. The combo is open back giving me a lot of headroom. The tube switching though is the best feature. I got the amp knowing nothing of tubes, now each channel has its own configuration.

The RKII can cover SO many styles! I use yellowjackets with EL84's for a "Voxier" tone, in place of the "Marshallish" EL34's, but any way you look at it, there are tons of options available.
It's a winner for me!
