It is fully functional and sounds fantastic. Includes original foot controller and casters.
From Mesa...
Introducing the Dual Rectifier Roadster--the most fun a guitarist can have on four wheels...well alright, casters. This all-tube thoroughbred shares a class with only one other amplifier--and that position is held by its brother, the mighty Road King. In fact, the Roadster is a Road King without Progressive Linkage and other rear panel features that some players fear need a higher education to navigate. The Roadster now offers the plug-and-play minded guitarist a way to enjoy a myriad of footswitchable preamp choices without the power option anxiety.
Our Multi-Watt feature allows 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.
Channels 1 & 2 each offer 3 mode choices - two of which are repeated for added flexibility when configuring your footswitching map. Throughout the two lower gain channels, 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 sounds of the legendary Dual Rectifier Solo head. Take the keys to the world of high gain...both retro and future. These time-tested, hit-making sounds appear in the entire Rectifier family of amplifiers. In the Roadster, they're duplicated in Channels 3 and 4. 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.
Channels 3 and 4 contain all the high-gain glory of the iconic Dual Rectifier® Solo Head. 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.
