Throughout  two lower gain Channels, 1 and 2, you’ll  discover every classic clean sound in the pairs of CLEAN and FAT modes. Once  you’ve dialed in your ultimate clean sound, you can duplicate it in the other  Channel and modify it for single note applications, a more pushed version or  decide to switch to another mode for a radically different sound. Meanwhile  dedicated American Blues and English Rock sounds reside in the easily clippable  mid-gain realms of TWEED and BRIT. These  dynamic and incredibly expressive modes would make an amazing amplifier all by  themselves as they roam the zone between clean and clipped with authentic  finesse.

Channels 3 and 4 contain all the mind-altering iconic sounds  of the legendary Dual Rectifier® Solo Head and hand you the keys to the world of  high gain…both retro and future. 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 either find a favorite sound and dedicate the 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, keeping  pace with your growth as your playing evolves. 

The Roadster also features our 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.

Add to this power shaping magic our patented Tube Rectifier  Tracking feature. Each channel features the ability to choose between the saggy  bounce of the 5U4 Rectifier Tubes or the tight, bold authority of the Silicon  Diodes. Selecting TUBE RECTIFIER TRACKING brings on-line one 5U4 when in 50  watts and two 5U4s when 100 watts is selected.

Reverb is paramount in an amplifier this versatile and the  Roadster gets the best! We’ve taken our 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.  And because the Roadsters’ modes offer such a  wide range of gain levels and sound styles, each Channel is fitted with a  dedicated REVERB mix control located on the Rear Panel so Reverb can be  optimized for each sound.

The Roadster is available in both Head and Combo formats.  The highly portable 1x12 is rear ported for stunning power to  weight performance, while the 2x12 Combo  features our amazing closed–back design. These  cabinets produce low-end spread reminiscent of a 4x12 for crunch and gain  sounds while retaining the top-end sparkle and ambience of an open back  enclosure. Either way you cruise there’s no way to lose.

So when you’re looking for an exciting new ride that’s  easy to drive, has power to burn but can handle the turns… check out the  Roadster™. It’s the perfect addition to any guitar garage.
