Gibson Les Paul Standard 2006
Roadster Channel I 50w bold
my preset (3) octive down w/tape delay
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.

It’s a great system …
It’s a great system – but nowadays there are probably better units.
You can get one on ebay for less.
