Roadster and tuner out

[vertigo_]

According to the manual. When you turn on tuner out from the controller, it basically mutes the cabinet signal. What if I dont have a tuner connected to the tuner out and just use the tuner out function to mute the speakers. Will that hurt the amp?

thanks

I was thinking the same thing... Good question. I just received my Roadster head this morning, so i'll be fiddling with it at lunch and tonight after work!!!

MusicMan you got the best boogie that is out right now!. Right now I use the tuner functionality from G-major. So I want to use the tuner out just to mute the speakers

Hello guys,
I'm thinking the Tuner Mute would be the same as unplugging the input from the amp. I use the G-Maj's tuner too vertigo, so I never even tried it to see if it even works , guess I'll do that this week.

Lets just hope it doesn't POP on the way back in :shock:

LOL...good ol pop, never could get enough sig to send it over to mesa. But I would just go and submit it to Mesa anyway.

I tried the gmajor tuner and muted the amp with the tuner out. Worked nicely for me.

Good to hear. Yea, I guess the amp is "breaking-in" because at gig levels I don't even really notice the pop at all anymore. Starting in ch 3 really helps for me --- Oh well don't want to hijack.

Holy crap did I just have an awesome lunch break. It was ALMOST better than a 'nooner'. Haha. Seriously though, the Roadster is freakin' awesome. I only spent 30 minutes with it, but it is such a scorching amp! My leads have gone to another dimension! I don't miss the Mark IV at all at this point. It might be the honeymoon effect, but I am in love......... More to come later.

Congrats and I'm glad you like her.

IMO the Roadster is 10X better in the lead department than my '01 Triple was, especially ch 3 Vintage Tube Rectified. F'n sweet! The cleans are stellar, the Brit mode is absolutly perfect for Zep & AC/DC tones, and Vintage and Modern speak for themselves. All that AND tube driven spring reverb

The roadster crushes my old 2ch dual recto, and blew the road king out of the water I can't believe I have a recto with a pick attack.

I'm still waiting for the footswitch for my roadster so I've got a question about the tuner-out function/jack...since it's just outputing guitar-level signal, can it be run to a second amplifier so you could use gain setting on both tweed and brit and hit that for a clean (into a fender?) or something else (maybe an el-based combo for more marshall-like tone) along that line? Like I said, I'd try it myself but I only have a 3ch-dr footswitch right now while I'm waiting.

 

[MusicManJP6]

seems like that would work...

 

[vertigo_]

seems like that would work...

do you wanna try that out and let us know?

 

[MusicManJP6]

I would if I had another amplifier! Well, actually, I have a bass amp I guess I could use... I'll give it a shot if I get time tonight...

 

[MusicManJP6]

Well fellas, the tuner out to another amp was a no go. It is always on and it actually just outputs the amp signal, distorted or clean. So, with a cable connecting the tuner out to the input of my little bass amp, you can hear the signal through the amp as well as through the bass amp. When you hit tuner mute, it just mutes the Roadster so an audience wouldn't hear you tuning (if the tuner out was actually running to a tuner) and the bass amp still outputs the signal... It was worth a try!

 

[TheBlackman]

Good to know...at least now I can spend more time playing and less time thinking up how to add more bells and whistles!

That's too bad, that could have been a nice built in A/B box 8) .

So with that, I'm guessing the tuner mute switch on the controller is just a direct link to the amp's muting circuit, and the tuner out jack from the amp may be in parallel with the FX Loop send.

No, unfortunately there's a real bad hum in the tuner out signal. I wanted to do the same thing, but the signal is too butchered...
