Hey guys, Just thought I would share my link with you all for my ebay listing of my Roadster combo. Taking a break from playing for awhile, and TBH, the dual rec sound really wasn't for me, so I am selling it. She's in pristine condition as if it just rolled out the factory doors. Thanks...

Hey guys, Check out my link for my evilbay auction for my speakers. I bought these for my Roadster and never installed them because my band broke up and I am liquidating everything I have and letting my ears quit ringing awhile to figure out what I want to do. I am also selling my amp. It...

So what are the numbers for the pots I need to make this mod????

I have the Roadster 2X12 combo, and channel 2 is definitely the weakest link in the amp. Can not get enough gain out of it, and it sounds real thin. Some more bass to that channel would help immensely. There is definitely enough low end in that channel on the fat and clean modes, but you...

Yellowjacket, Thanks for the honest advice again. The reason I reposted, is because it was getting way off the original topic from some of the posters. All I'm saying is, either I am a pretty sucky guitar player, or other amps that I have owned (much cheaper may I add), sound way better and...

Hey guys, I had band practice tonight on my Roadster combo, and I really like the cleans and the dirties are workable. However, it seems like I can not get any good lead sound without the notes wanting to die out. There is something weird going on with this amp, and has been since I got it a...

Very good points and explanation yellowjacket!! That makes a lot of sense! I definitely need to work on my fretting and technique. Probably should be practicing on an acoustic. If I miss any notes, that is gonna be the most unforgiving instrument to play, so theoretically I will get better...

Hey guys, To your question on my age and experience pokerrules47, I am 33 years old and have been picking the guitar since I was 12. Only got serious about guitar for the last 10 years or so. I know I should be more savvy about these things, but I never really was one of those kids who locked...

Actually guys, I only got the Roadster after going on the MESA site and watching all the videos, watching youtube videos daily, and reading as many reviews on it as I could possibly read. I then went to guitar center and played some MESA's and Marshalls. I don't bother asking many questions to...

David, Thanks for your input! I really do think the Roadster is a very good amp in general. Especially the build quality and attention to detail. Way more aesthetically pleasing to look at than any Marshall ever made. I thought about maybe a speaker swap to be honest. I have heard a LOT...

Thanks for the info guys! Yes, I was thinking about buying the 12AX7 Cocktail from Doug's Tubes just to see what kind of difference it makes. I have a LOT to learn when it comes to dialing in MESA's!! Played an hour set at a benefit last night, and the sound was just horrible! :evil: It's...

Thanks! Yeah, I know I should have made it into paragraphs.....lol! Sorry about that! Anyway, the major difference I see between the MESA and Marshalls is quality. That's one reason I went with the MESA. They are as reputable as Marshall, and are very aesthetically pleasing to look at too...

Thanks for the help guys! I am pretty much on the fence on whether I want to keep this amp or not. I think I just favor the raunchy sound you can get from a Marshall cranked, and this sound seems unattainable with this amp. Well, especially being a 212 combo. I just can't get this thing...

Hey guys, Just wondering if any of you MESA Roadster combo owners have experimented with different speakers in your combos or different tubes? It seems like the low end of the amp is really not as tight as it could be? I don't know why they chose Vintage 30's to put in these amps, as they...
