Allright here's my situation:
I am now using both a Mark IV and a Rectoverb, but selling both, and debating between another T-verb, and a Roadster.
My First Mesa was a T-verb, I traded it shortly after I got it for a deal I couldn't pass up. (I was offered an '85 JCM800 AND a '59 Bassman reissue).
I thought that the T-verb sounded awesome, but was overkill for me @ 100W. (I didn't know about pulling tubes when I had it)
After seeing and hearing the the Timmons rig demo, and experiencing the Lonestar/BB preamp combination, I was impressed and want that tone, plus the Recto tones as well. I called Mesa told em I wanted Lonestar cleans, Recto Dirt and T-verb's reverb, and they suggested the Roadster.
Now, I will primarily only be using the clean with a BB preamp as I really don't play clean, and am curious if I should grab a Roadster running at 50w, or go with another T-verb and pulling tubes.
