Wish Mesa Boogie Roadster / Road King

[My name is mud]

I used the roadking for 10 years . And yes I have already tried to tweak the rectifier but no , it don’t sound like this ... I’d love to see this crazy amp in my axe 3

Did you try the dual rec with the triple crown tonestack?

Edit the Amp block. Go to the Preamp page, and select whatever tonestack you want.

Even with this the clean channels wouldn't be available.

Clean was based off the lonestar which will likely be a tweaked fender setup.

It’s not a Dual Recto, either. But...

The triple crown tone stack dont exist .

The triple crown tone stack dont exist .

I think Budda is referring to the TRES CORONA tonestack.

 

[My name is mud]

Lol tres corona ?

 

[IronSean]

It's French for "very coronary".

But because "triple Crown" is a copywritten term, they tonestack can't say "triple crown" so he's saying the TC tonestack is labelled as "Tres Coronoa" in the tone stack picker.

I'm still not 100% sure why the Triple Crown tone stack is the answer though, I can't find the right schematics to see if the tone stack of the Roadster/Road King is different than the normal Rectifiers, and whether the Triple Crown actually uses that same one or not.

As I owned most of the boogies , the roadster/king series sound more dark than the standard rectifier . The recto is all about agressive high and big lows, a lot of bees in the sound. The road don’t sound the same.

Here I was using both roadster and roadking
Miss those days.

...

... or Spanish Tres=Three - Corona=Crown

... or Spanish Tres=Three - Corona=Crown

Yeah that's the joke

Not to necro this thread, but I have a Mesa Roadster head that I'm looking to sell to fund an FM9 when I come up on the list. I'd be willing to loan it to Fractal to model it while I continue the long wait, lol! Is that even possible?

You re right to necro this tread . Roadster and roadking are super cool amps .

 

[RockYoWorld]

@FractalAudio , the offer is open if you want to model my Mesa Roadster, then! I just need it back in time to sell it when I come up on the FM9 waitlist (that's understandably a while from now)

EDIT: That doesn't mean you should push me further down the waitlist, though!
