Randall Smith and his Team answered the call and the MESA/BOOGIE Roadster™ was born!
A Four Channel Amp with all the versatility you may need for Stage or Studio use.
In the two lower gain Channels, ONE and TWO, are every classic clean sound in the pairs of CLEAN and FAT modes. You can simply dial in your ultimate clean sound, then duplicate it in the other Channel then, should the need arise, you can modify it to your heart’s content for single note applications, a more pushed version or decide to switch to another mode for a radically different sound. The easily clippable mid-gain modes of TWEED and BRIT speak for themselves and again, these dynamic and incredibly expressive modes would make an amazing amplifier all by themselves as they easily sweep across the zone between clean and clipped with authentic finesse.

Channels THREE and FOUR deliver the mind-altering and iconic sounds of the legendary Dual Rectifier® Solo Head and hand you the keys to the castle where both retro and modern high tones reside. The RAW, VINTAGE and MODERN modes cover the entire range of gain from a sweet clip, through liquid voice up to a crushing wall of tight grind and are duplicated in both Channels. This again allows you to easily dial in your desired tone then dedicate the two channels to slight differences or, configure them for wildly different styles.

The Channels’ duplicated modes are a powerful feature – making the Roadster not just an amp for your current style or band but rather, a lifelong companion to your music, offering limitless configurations and keeping pace with your growth as your playing evolves.

The Roadster also features MESA’s Multi-Watt™ Channel Assignable Power feature allowing you to choose either 50 or 100 watt power for each preamp Channel. This simple to use feature expands the potential of each Channel mode exponentially by enabling you to lower the power-clip threshold or, tighten things up as needed. The two power choices also offer different personalities; 50 watts with its brighter, elastic bounce or 100 watts of tight-tracking low-end girth and mid punch authority.

The power shaping magic of MESA’s patented Tube Rectifier Tracking feature is on tap in each channel. You can choose between the saggy bounce of the 5U4 Rectifier Tubes or the tight, bold authority of the Silicon Diodes. Selecting TUBE RECTIFIER TRACKING brings 1 x 5U4 Tube online when in 50 watts and 2 x 5U4s when 100 watts is selected.

Reverb is paramount in an amplifier this versatile and the Roadster gets the best! The MESA/BOOGIE Roadster™ has the all-tube circuit from the widely acclaimed Lone Star and the result is lush, ambient Reverb that blooms with sweetness as it bathes each note in old school glory. The Roadsters’ modes offer such a wide range of gain levels and sound styles that each Channel has been equipped with a dedicated REVERB mix control located on the Rear Panel so Reverb can be optimised for each sound.
