To have the best is to go on the site of Mesa, they do better than me ;-)
I can only say that it is full rev, I think there are plenty that morning. Hlas must buy a Z11 or Engl Rockman Octopus, and saw the taking of the roadster is a bit unfair. I does so because of that 9 a.

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple to use. Personally, I went to a system that rack (TriAxis / 2:50) and I wanted to change to a config paramtrable live more easily (the big problem of TriAxis for me). On the roadster, it's clear trs. What a head amp! You just have to take a little head, and ears, to find the sound you want on each channel.
Indeed, no channel is really a ddi SPECIFICATIONS because its pushing the gain, by playing on the power or the choice of lamps as well as the three modes on offer, the palette of sounds is trs trs wide.
As prconise the manual, it is best to start with all potentiomtres noon and the sound is good dj trs. Then began the long hours of arriving cornliens choice: it is the sound clear, but it s also, and the other is super ...
I t really cleans sduit by all when I try this head. Since I have, I am also bleuff by distos.
In short, I use the Tweed mode on channel 1 to have a dig with my trs its strat between Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. this channel is duly. I then use the fat mode on channel 2 (in fact it is my clean), the vintage mode on channel 3 (the most demanding of Contents rglage, and also channel the least forgiving case of bad multi-effect in the loop. It's obvious with my G-major, damage. The quality called ;-)), quality which allows for a crunch or a greasy bluesy lead trs crmeux, it depends. Then Channel 4 I RULES in modern, and it is the correct standard distortion I've ever had with my russi Triax. Bliss.
J'hsite still on the feeding mode choice as spongy, compared to the bold sounds were less aggressive, trs trs enjoyable round and play on channels particulirement 1 & 2. Remaining costs a great volume, I have not done.
As usual, the manual is clear and trs prcis in Mesa, and is best read in its entirety to understand the interaction between the gain / treble / middle / bass.
In short, the sound of this head is terrible. There was a long time since I had taken as much fun playing, I carrment redcouvert my guitars!

SOUNDS

It should be my humble opinion, all styles of music ever!
I play with a fender and a peavey wolfgang ultra and the sound of each guitar is truly magnificent show respect.
There is no sound that I dtest. Just some I like a little less (and still is plutt because I did not use).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three weeks just prs. The FTEs force, I did that in my essay, so I would put my mind qd days I made RPTES scnes and short, ending for.
I tried a marshall JVM410, which has little prs mm the benefits of connectivity, MIDI and more. I would try it before the roadster because APRS ...
Level qualitprix report is trs expensive, too I got, but hey, since there was this head that I liked, no choice.

Opinion APRS over a year of use:
I almost resell my head after 2 months because I was really struggling in the rgler RPET. But by taking all quiet (and the manual really necessary), I really found the sound I wanted. This head is truly amazing: extreme versatility, quality workmanship, and sounds really terrible in the studio (the possibility to zap the game master and loop, and thus to minimize the fact that a linkage its an incredible purity).
