Mesa Boogie Roadster is one of the best amplifiers a person could own.

The amp comes with 4 channels, all having independent reverb, gain, volume, bass, mid and treble controls. Each channel comes with a separate control to change the wattage to 100 to 50 along with two versions of Rectification (diode and tube tracking). The amp is very loud and is very suitable for those who do large gigs. The amp also comes with an effects loop, mute button for tuning breaks, and a solo boost selection.

Now talking about the various channels:

Three modes, clean, fat and tweed. The clean mode is astounding with nice crisp cleans which defines each note remarkably. Each mode is set in such a way to increase the gain stages in the sound. This amp is not recommended by many Jazz players, as you won't get that soft sound.

Clean, fat and British--This is for those who love to play rock Especially "AC/DC". Just use the British mode and turn the gain up to about 10:30 o'clock. The tone comes to a nice and dirty/gritty drive.

Raw, vintage and modern-This channel is perfect for playing leads. Sound is somewhat like a heavily overdriven Marshall JCM800.

This channel is perfect, the true Recto voicing for the heavy metal riffs. Very define sound and has a nice scooped smoothness to it.

  • hello, nice video, i have just bought a mesa boogie roadster, and i want to know if it is possible to change channels with the g-system on the roadster.

    Thanks

  • @cgarridos I don't think you can due to the Mesa footswtich.

    Ask this dude vaisatchatrucci he has a board with the G-system in it.

    Rock on!

  • I have the nova system; how do you loop it? are you still able to access the OD on the TC without a bypass??

  • @gtrfreak247 Good question. I'm not sure.

    Rock on!

  • that is some sweet clean tone you have going on out of the roadster. I am considering buying a set up like what you have or the rectifier roadster combo with the 2 x 12. I am curious, in the time you have had this amp, have you ever had a problem with the tubes, i hear stories about mesa boogie, perhaps you can tell me. If it is a beast with long lasting tube capability, then I am definitely going for it. Let me know man,btw, i love all your clips. awesome playing man. cheers to you.

  • @1245102 I've had amp this for a while. Absolutely no problems at all.

    Cheers

see all

  • mesa has great clean tones

  • @gtrfreak247 my advice is to send an email to tcelectronic or watch their vid. But my guess is that you've already figured that out :P

  • @1245102

    I've never had problems with Mesa tubes.

    I've owned Mesa amps for over 10 years.

  • @cgarridos

    In order to change the channels and reverb from the G SYSTEM, you need to buy the MINI AMP GIZMO. The MINI AMP GIZMO can be programmed to respond to the midi commands that the G System sends. These MIDI commands are translated into tip-to-ground signals that the Mesa amp understands.
