Selling off a bunch of gear for a new amp. All prices include PP, but shipping is separate. -POD HD500 (mint with power adapter and updated with latest software)- $360 -Blackstar HT-5 (small scuff on the bottom metal corner, but otherwise in great condition. Upgraded tubes as well)- $205 -1...

Thanks those are some good suggestions. I've used an attenuator once and I wasn't a very big fan of it to be honest. When using the loop send knob do you just set the loop to "loop on" and then adjust the send knob according? And I agree they are optimal when moving some speakers, but pretty...

I've heard of some people pulling the 2 outer tubes, but is that safe for your amplifier? I've also heard some people just use a volume pedal in the loop. I'm not looking for my DR solo head to be best at lower volumes, I just want the tubes cooking enough for it to sound decent. Any...

So I've been comparing my Roadster and Recto Solo metal tones again. I hate to say it, but I just don't think I can get that looseness out of the Roadster like on my Solo head. The tone is there, but that sag and bloom of notes doesn't last as long. As much as I love the cleans on the...

Thank you. I was mostly worried about just getting the right rating. I am glad you pointed that out.

I unfortunately had my Roadster turn off with some new tubes (which are being returned). I want to know if this fuse would work for the Roadster? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102762#

Sounds much closer, I think I needed to up the presence in my tone. Just wondering, how are you setting your volume and master volume? I usually like to play at lower volumes, so would it be better to keep the master low and up the channel volume or keep the master higher and keep the channel...

Thanks for the advice guys. I have got it sounding closer to what I want, but I am not sure if it is quite there yet. This is the kind of tone I am going for. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ28J1pa2mk If any Roadster owners have a better ear for dialing maybe you could let me know some...

Thanks for the help and recommendations. It is a great amp. I actually am trying to get as LOOSE and saggy of a sound as possible. Like you, I am using a Mills 4x12 afterburner, but can get a massive loose tone out of my Solo head. I will give your settings a shot, it sounds like I am not...

I will try going that route. I was hoping to use 50 watts because of the lower volumes, but I'll give 100 watts a shot at low volumes. I was figuring to get it as loose as possible, I wanted to use spongy which made my DR solo head looser. I also figured using 50 watts would get the tube...

So anybody at least have some recommended settings for a loose and aggressive, metal tone on the Roadster?

That is a good idea, though I am not sure how much tubes will do for what I want. I doubt he gets a request for tubes that make a metal amp looser... :lol:

Hmm... that is too bad. I was hoping I just was dialing in mine wrong. I have not tried the new Rectifiers yet. It is just that the cleans on the Roadster are so perfect for what I want (and I have played a lot of good clean amps). If the new Rectifiers can get that ( I use the fat mode on...

So I just received my Roadster. I also own a 3 channel Dual Rectifier Solo which I was hoping to replace with the Roadster, but I can't seem to get the hi-gain sounds nearly as good sounding as my Solo. I have strange tastes, in that I like a really loose hi-gain tone. On my solo head, I use...

I'm about to put down some cash on a deal, I just wanted to know if anybody here has had some good transactions with him. Thanks.
