The mid control in tweed mode is a powerful gain tool!

Why don't you just re-label your volume and gain knobs to loud and angry...Then adjust to taste! These amps are more versatile than many believe!

I've never owned a Tremoverb, but could you just adjust the volume levels of the loop vs loop off with the channel masters/loop master/send level/return level? They are all there to attain unity...What if you went the other way?

I once had one of the speaker wires of one speaker in my old recto 4x12 cab vibrate loose/off, and it sounded farty like a blown speaker! Could this be the problem?

Did you ever try running your tube rectifiers to solve this?

If I remember correctly, with the two channels cloned, and the orange to dirty, all controls the same, there will be a difference in the presence controls influence to each channel! The orange channel cloned to modern/dirty, with presence cranked was nasty!

So you castrated your Roadster! :lol:

If my channel switching was not working, I don't think I would crank the master of the channel I was trying to switch to?

Well, it's been said that of the newer Rectos, the Roadster is most like the Tremoverb in tone! I actually like the combo version of the Roadster, great, thumpy, enclosed cabinet, with huge projection!

What are you using for speaker cable?

The mid controls are very integral on these third modes on channels one and two! They work in conjunction with the gain controls! The tweed mode is great, very versatile on channel one! I believe the brit mode is optimized with el34's though, so I usually use channel two for more pristine cleans!

I replaced the handle on my old dual rec...I called them directly, they have them!

I guess, to achieve "clipping" of the power section, you might clean up the pre-amp section of the amp, turn the gain down, and volume up?

They are not identical, channel two is optimized for the vintage mode, whatever that means...

The Carbon Copy through my Roadster's series loop wasn't very audible either...Basically had to crank the effects mix level and the loops send level to hear a little delay coming through...
