TR vs ROADSTAR??

[downtuned_kaiyes]

HI ALL....after saving up for a year finally gonna get either a roadstar or Tripple rectifier but dont know which one. my guitars are downtuned to C or A and I only play riffs so not thinking anything about playing lead. GODSMACK , DISTURBED, BURY YOUR DEAD could be mentioned to indicate the type of tone im after. i know this is a very old question but i couldnt find the specific answer in the past threads.

so TR ? r roadstar??

cheers in advance!!

you want the modern amps forum. though for that tone with a 7 string I'd recommend a mark IV over a Roadster or triple rec

triple recto for your seven string needs; wrong forum.

Is english your first language?

Either one will get the job done nicely. If given the choice I'd take the roadster over the TR, so the choice is really- 3 channels or 4? They are voiced a little different, but you can make either one sound like the other one, but the roadster has a couple added modes to it. Have fun with whichever one you get.

ive owned both and both will give you what your looking for.... i prefer the roadster not because its what i have now but i feel like the voicings are a little better..... they are very similar to the 2 channel rectos from the early-mid 90's which among recto owners sound the best (my TR was from 93 and sounded amazing).... the roadster to me sounds like the 2 channel rectos but you get a much better clean channel, reverb, and just more versatility all around..... if your just looking for a great heavy channel and dont care about the cleans then maybe a 2 channel DR or TR because you'll spend less on them than a roadster..... if you want versatility, a great clean channel, reverb, and 2 more channels go with the roadster... believe me if you want to cover a lot of ground in one amp go for a roadster or a road king because you can do just about anything with them
