My first NAD (not too pic heavy)

adamgiroux · 05-07-2008, 05:57 PM

so.. after researching for a long while and saving up for a very long time, i finally bought my new amp
here's a very obvious hint:

hooray mesa boogie roadster!

I haven't really had much time to mess with it too much yet, and the cab sucks, but from what i can tell so far its really nice. I do find it to be a little weak sounding, so i'm gonna go out and buy a tube screamer tonight and hopefully it will make it more aggressive. The cab is the only rental 4x12 they had, and i have a feeling it's the biggest reason it sounds weak. I'd love some suggestions on how to get the best sound out of this thing and what cab i should buy when the money comes in, so if you can, help me out.

Regards,

Adam

Great looking amp man. I love the look of the half daimond plate faceplate. Enjoy.

It's certainling the best looking amp that Mesa make, and I'm sure it sounds just as good.

Congrats man, enjoy!

It really is a night and day difference. There is nothing like juicing up the front end of the preamp with a really hot signal. I've noticed that active pickups basically do this by themselves, although it still makes a bit of a difference.

Look for old Peavey cabs with the 85w Celestions. They are solid cabs, and the speakers are very close to C90s. Mike's Triple Rec sounds beast through that cab.
