Got my Roadster head the other day. Great amp right out of the box. But, being inclined to Marshalls, I couldn't resist throwing a matched Quad of Winged "C" EL34's. So far I think I like amp with these tubes more than the stock 6L6's. Here are some settings I figured I'd share. They are for a basic Clean/Dirty/Dirtier/Heavy setup.
Guitar was a JB/Jazz equiped Wolfgang American Standard through a stock Bogner Large Sized Closed back 2x12. Loop System was ON, Ouput was at 9:00, Spongy. Numbers are in time (o'clock).....
Channel 1 - 100 Watt / Diode / Tweed
G - 11
T - 12
M - 1
B - 12
P - 11
M - 10
Channel 2 - 100 Watt / Diode / Brit
G - 5
T - 12
M - 10
B - 1
P - 10:30
M - 9:30
Channel 3 - 100 Watt / Recto / Vintage
G - 2
T - 2
M - 11
B - 9:30
P - 4 (right before it starts to fizz)
M - 12:30
Channel 4 - 100 Watt / Recto / Modern
G - 2
T - 12
M - 12:30
B - 9
P - 10:30
M - 11
Some things I noticed:
More Spank on the Channel 1, yet still retains softness
Channel 2 now useable!!!....especially on Brit mode
Channel 3 EQ's seem a lot more sensitive and was tough to dial in.
Low end across the board is tighter...not dramatically, but noticable.
High end can get a bit more fizzy/hairy, but not in a good way (IMO).
Haven't used this amp with the band yet, so who even knows if these settings will cut!? But they sounded **** good at a decent volume.
