NO LONGER FOR SALE - Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster 100w Head

What's Hot

No longer for sale as the amp requires a repairs due to a recent accident  :'(
============================================================


Just picked up a new Blackstar 1046L6 today so looking to shift my Mesa Boogie Roadster head as I don't have room for both (or so the missus tells me...!)

It's US a import model with step-down transformer to use in the UK. I know this may put some folk off, but the transformer is small and compact and works perfectly.

Recently retubed (Svetlana winged =c= power tubes and various preamp tubes carefully selected by myself for the best possible tone - Tung Sol, EHX, JJ, Mullard)

Has been gigged but is in great condition.

Footswitch has some light cosmetic damage (as you can imagine), but nothing that affects its use.

The amp sounds killer, it's 4 channels with built in reverb. HUGE gain available on tap if that's your thing - more so than a standard Dual Rectifier - and probably one of the best clean channels available from a Mesa Boogie. Each channel can be independently set to 50 or 100w, diode or rectifier tracking, and reverb can be set per channel too. The possibilities are endless with this thing.


Brand New these go for around £2300, I'm looking for £900

PRICE DROP  £900

    I might also consider trades/part-ex if it helps :)

    Maybe a Mini Rectifier, a Victory amp or something Hughes & Kettner-ish - or maybe there's something completely different that I haven't thought of.

    Not really digging Marshall these days though

    Great amps - would you be interested in a Mesa Stiletto Deuce head plus cash?

    Hi David, I''m afraid not, I tried the Deuce before I got the Roadster and I just couldn't get on with it tonally :(

    Thanks for the interest though :)

    /bump   Trades considered

    Would consider trading for a Blackstar Series One as I fell in love with the tone over the weekend (plus it's a little lighter than the Roadster and I'm getting old).

    Could also be interested in a Grandmeister 36 (with footswitch) as well...

    If I may suggest you'll only manage a sale if you post pics to show the amp condition.
    I'll also add that these are super versatile amps and my favourite Mesa from all eras.
    GLWTS.

    The packet of crisps is only in the shot to give you an idea of how compact the stepdown transformer is, but I'll include it in the sale if it seals the deal ;)

    I think I may also have a spare (unused) stepdown transformer in the loft - If I can find it, I'll throw it in with the amp.

    I know, it pains me to sell it like this, but I have an irate missus complaining that it needs to stop taking up real estate behind the sofa!

    At that price you could even switch out the internal transformer!

    Thank guys, it's with a tech at the moment as wasn't turning back on and something internal was rattling in a fairly ugly way.

    Put a nice dent in the driveway though...!!!!
