Hi all, Quick Q for you: Last night at rehearsal I experienced a progressive loss of gain over the course of a couple of hours. Even at the start it sounded pretty weak to me. Ended up with a v tinny bass/gain lacking ch4 tone and almost inaudible clean tone - similar to rolling back volume...

Hi, Just wondering, when looking into the back of my roadster head, which preamp tube is V1 and which is V6? I assume the run left to right V1 - V6 when looking from the rear i.e. V1 is closest to the input jack? Thanks

Anyone know what Mesa use for: Mesa 12AX7 Chinese 1 They are in my 07 Roadster...

Hi all, I am looking to do a full retube of my Roadster. I would appreciate any advice/recommendations? I have tried JJ E34Ls in the power section but overall much prefer the stock 6L6s that it came with - not sure what they are? At the moment I use silicon diodes for my two high gain...

Hi all, I've been using a Maxon OD808 in front of my Roadster hi-gain rhythm and lead tones for quite some time now (along with an MXR 10 band eq in the loop for rhythm). The initial idea was to tighten things up a bit. Settings gain 0, level between 2/3 and full depending on pups... Tone...

Hi all, I am currently assembling a rack and have a question about how it power it. At the moment it has the following: Rack Decimator - 9V AC RJM Rg16 - 9V AC or 12 V DC G-Major MXR 10-band EQ - 18V DC Maxon OD808 - 9V DC The G-major has a standard IEC connection. The rest have external...

hi all, Ok so i'm looking into getting a loop-switcher and foot-controller to control my Roadster and FX. At the moment my rig is very straight forward. Gtr - OD808 - Preamp - MXR EQ in loop. I have just gotten a GMajor for the loop and intend to get a few more things in the near future, so at...

hi all, Ok so i'm looking into getting a loop-switcher and foot-controller to control my Roadster and FX. At the moment my rig is very straight forward. Gtr - OD808 - Preamp - MXR EQ in loop. I have just gotten a GMajor for the loop and intend to get a few more things in the near future, so...

Hi all, i'm looking at getting some fx for my roadster Is it worth forking out €200 more to get a Gmajor 2 over a Gmajor? I'm not big on FX but at the same time if there's a big difference i would consider the Gmajor2? Also any other suggestions on similar devices?

I am looking at getting some multi fx and a switching system, possible a g major or similar, for my roadster. Currently i am running a maxon OD808 out front (always on) and an mxr 10 band eq in the loop. Is there any system that would allow me to switch from say ch3 with OD808 on, to ch 1...

Hi all, having used ch4 modern for metal rhythm sounds and ch3 modern or vintage for lead more or less since i got my roadster a couple of years back i decided to swap them around and tried ch3 for rhythm and ch4 for lead. it appears that to my ears ch3 is superior for both and i don't have a...

Hi, I'm considering getting a g-major for the loop of my roadster - will probably try to pick up the old model as i'm not too big into FX anyway. The question is - in addition to the g-major itself what else do i need to get as regards switching? Thanks

Hi all, OK so last night i changed out my stock 6L6's after 2 years use and put in some new JJ E34L's. Whilst there was a definite difference in tone i actually expected it to be more pronounced - that said i hadn't played in a couple of weeks so was kinda starting fresh rather than straight...

OK it's time for a retube and the stock Mesa 6L6s are going to be a thing of the past - i have decided to check out EL34s for a while Any recommendations on EL34s that work well with roadster?

Hi all, For those using the above combination, what settings are you using on the OD? I use mine always on, with the aim of tightening (metal) rhythm sounds and adding sustain & colour for leads. I use ch4 modern for rhythm and ch3 modern for lead. I always have gain at 0 and level maxed -...

When buying 4 new power tubes is it better to buy 2 matching pairs of the same colour or two different colours - i.e. say 4 yellow (2 sets of matching) or 2 yellow and 2 grey? Are all yellows for example interchangeable or are they still in specific pairs? If they are in specific pairs it...

Anyone here using their mrx 10 band eq up front as a boost? I did have it in the loop for quite some time but have since been converted to bypassing the loop so said i'd mess around with it up front. I don't have an OD or anything else up front so I decided to see how it would sound to use...

Hi, Anyone here got a schematic for the roadster or know where to get one? Tried out the hard bypass on the loop today for first time and it is quite a difference. I would be thinking it's a bad thing rather than a good thing - surely the circuitry used in providing the loop shouldn't...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a wah soon and am wondering if any of you can give me some recommendations. I'm not a major fan of using wah but i'm doing a bit of gigging at the moment with a covers band and i need to get one. The most important thing for me is that it is totally transparent when...

Hi guys, All of a sudden during a recent practice the channel 4 switch on my footswitch started to become unresponsive - barely working at all by the end of the session. The next day I found that it still works but I have to stomp fairly hard on it. Then half way through that practice the...
