Mesa Boogie Roadster Problem (reverb after riffing)

This issue started yesterday. Nothing has changed, no effects, direct input from guitar to amp. Think it may be something to do with the tubes. Any suggestions welcome.

Just to post some progress on the issue. I haven't yet had it checked out by a professional, but when using a different guitar again (which I used originally to test the issue) the reverb resonating was gone. So it is perhaps a problem with the bridge of my other guitar may be causing it. I will test it further and post with the results.

how is the roadster holdin up i was thinking of picking one up

[hobey123]

Yeah the roadster is an amazing amp. The only thing I don't feel I can really get is that classic Mashall ACDC sound, but I think running the amp with EL34's would possibly help. Other than that, amazing tones and I'd definitely recommend one.

I think the problem is that you have the mesa logo backwards

put a rubber band around the floyd springs

You ever hear the radio when in higher gain channels? That annoys me. So does the buzz when I have all my pedals hooked up. I do a standard setup, wah, tuner, ts9 into amp, loopsend chorus, phaser, delay, reverb loopreturn, and power them all with two daisy chained 9v supplies. I have thought of getting a noise suppresser but I dont want to cut into the tone anymore and I feel like this setup, even though it is a high end head, cuts into the tone enough as it is...

I haven't read any comments or anything, but check the reverb nobs on the back of your amp and make sure they're off o-o

Hope this helps

@hobey123 Could be the springs of your guitar... Though that is when you have a guitar with a tremolo bridge like a fender style or floyd rose..

@hobey123 I was thinking about getting a pair of EL-34's for channel 2 also. Don't know which brand to get, Mesa Brand or Others???

This is your guitar dude...look into that. One my of ESP's did that..its in the shop now.

[nikfore]

it's microphonics from a least one of the preamp tubes.. just check which one is the problematic tube.

[sweethouze28]

bad tube...that all

[cdfox85]

The problem is the Floyd Rose springs. I had the same exact problem. Insulate them with some foam or something.

Actually, I see this video is hella old...so hopefully you've already figured this out by now. :)

sounds like a guitar problem to me, try other guitars!

[guitarlife21]

if u have a guitar with a tremolo system the sound could be coming form the spirnge in the back of the guitar
