I love my tung sol in v1. Either your tung sol is crap, or you like or used to the sound of the Mesa/jj tube. In all the tube amps I've had, a tung sol in v1 always sounded pretty good.

Yup, get the roadster. Great loop for effects. Great sound.

Congrats! I just got done gigging once again with my beloved roadster. It's a wonderful feeling! :twisted:

My roadster sits great in the mix, but when micing more mids are needed on the PA. There are many factors to not mixing well. Pickups, cabinets, amp settings, guitar settings, bass player settings, pa settings, tubes, etc...

Pure jjs will darken your amp.

Which version OCD do you have? I love my maxon od808. Adds great tightness and still have plenty of bass to dial in on my amp.

:lol: Calm down with the tube swapping. Every rectifier I've owned and played has popped when entering the high gain channels for the first one or two times. Perfectly normal. Cycle through the channels when on standby to help minimize the pop. Otherwise, jam it up!

the decimator is sufficient enough. No need to spend another $80-$100. Yes the decimator and gstring is the same noise reduction but gstring adds tracking to help with end trails. Not a big thing if you don't turn the threshold of the decimator up too much. Grab the decimator and enjoy it!

Yes, I run the Maxon and ISP Decimator in the front. Guitar -> Maxon -> ISP -> Input Roadster. I run my Maxon and ISP in a GCX loop, and always have those two on together and activate or deactivate the loop when I need the maxon. The amp itself does not create noise if maxon is off even on...

I run my MaxonOD808 and an ISP Decimator in a loop in my GCX. Works great to remove the trippy noises the maxon gives when boosted in the orange/red channels.

high pitch noise like that sounds like a microphonic tube. A microphonic tube can be distinguished easier when high gain is applied.

I'll go ahead and vote Roadster as well, not only because I own one, but because it's a **** fine amp when tweaked right.

I had nothing but unsatisfactory results with a parallel loop and a delay pedal back when I had a dual rec. I'm assuming you have the pre-2010 dual/triple with a parallel loop?

That pedal would indeed work for your specific needs. :wink: I've owned two loop master pedal loops back in the day. They were quality.

thats crazy bro. I have one spare rectifier tube you can borrow. Look into those JJ gz34s. They're pretty cheap. How do you like the TV over ur old roadster. I played a bud's TV but didn't really dig it as much as my roadster.

Naw man, many transformers will accrue a rush tarnish on them if expose to different environments. They will be ok. Try out the JJ GZ34 tubes if you like the solid state feel more. What dual rec did you pick up? Did you grab that bogner?

I would say all Mesa loops suck tone either at high volume or low volume. You just done notice it as much with higher volumes. The roadsters effects knob in back is NOT a mix control like the regular dual/triple recs. The dual/triples have a mix, where it takes a piece of the signal, runs...

Your roadster probably doesn't like that acoustic simulator pedal. My roadster would probably smack me silly if I stuck an acoustic simulator in her. Place it in front of your ch3 or 4 and it might explode!! :shock:

V1 A = First Gain Stage (Input Stage) V1 B = Second Gain Stage V2 A = 3rd Gain Stage Ch. 1 & 2 V2 B = 3rd Gain Stage Ch. 3 & 4 V3 A = 4th Gain Stage Ch. 3 & 4 V3 B = Tone Stack Driver Ch. 3 & 4 V4 A = Reverb Return Buffer V4 B = Reverb Send Driver V5 A = FX Loop Send Driver V5 B = FX Loop Return...

Not sure how much signal boost that ac-3 gives, but roadster's get boosted by all sorts of pedals with no problems. Rectifiers are boost wh0res. I boost my lady with a maxonOD808 in a 4 channels when or if needed. Giving a strong acoustic clean signal could push a weak pre tube past its...
