I know the clean channel of the Roadster is similar/same as the Lone Star circuit.. So perhaps USA Clean for that one.
Channels 3 and 4
Thanks.
We have the TX STAR CLEAN/LEAD (based on MESA Lone Star Classic) which should be closer than the USA clean, but op is after the other channels anyway.
@scottp try the recto 2 orange / red models and you'll be in the roadster chan3/4 ballpark.
The roadster has so many voicing choices, are you trying to match your own amp ?
Awesome, sounds like these might be a good place to start: RECTO2 ORG MDRN and RECTO2 RED MDRN if you're after a similar tone to what you had before.My last amp rig was the Roadster head with TC Electronics Nova System.
That is now gone. But I really like the flexibility with 4 channels and effects in the loop.
My main rhythm tone came from channel 3 using the following settings, bold, modern + silicon diode + 100 watts, 6L6 tubes.
Channel 4 was more of the same basically for leads.
I use studio monitors at home and have transitioned to IEM at church.
I liked Celestion G12T-75 speakers in my old 4x12's
So I was thinking of starting with something close to that.
Is there an IR you recommend??
For high gain, experiment with the Recto models. Recto 1 Red and Recto 2 orange are my favorites.
Good song and vid!
EDIT: Erm, referring to your signature that is, don't want to derail the thread.
Cheers! Funnily enough that song was all Dual Rectifier (an old Rev G) and I find the Recto 1 models to be spot on for it. I used a Roadster for a few other tracks, amazing amp.
A drive block (TS, FAS Boost, Super OD or similar) with drive set low and level cranked will help smooth the gain out and tighten the low end with the Rectos too.Thanks for the tip, I'm not normally a Mesa guy but the sound you get in that video definitely has me gunning to try the Recto 1 models out now. Really smooth distortion!
