I'm a moron, your amp was in your quote! LOL :)

Mesa doesn't get here until monday, guess I'll have to make do with the Ecstasy at the gig tomorrow. I'm the worlds worst at getting a guitar or amp on a friday afternoon and playing it at the gig that night :)

Pete,

I have owned 3 different Roadsters. The tone of those amps kills. Unfortunately, each of those three had issues with the loop. I just returned the 3rd one to GC about 2 weeks ago. The loop could not be shut off on channel 2 unless you switched it off on the back of the amp. A minor issue, but it bugged the crap out of me.

Those amps sure sound good, though.

Fritz, that's a bummer. I think the first thing I'm going to do is check the loop when it gets here. :)

What are you playing through now?

Just to clarify; all of the problems I had were with the loop SWITCHING. The series loop sounded great and worked well with both line and guitar level effects.

I exchanged the Roadster for a Tremoverb 2x12 (and $$). This is my second T-Verb and it is a gem. The loop has been modded to series and it is loaded with Mullard and Telefunken 12ax7s. I use clean on the orange channel and MHG on the red with an OCD for a clean boost. I love this amp.
 
If you like the Recto sound, Roadster is the best amp you can ever have. It's like 3-4 great amps stuck in one.
I've had almost all mesa's you can think of. Roadster was my favorite.
 
Great amp, congrats!
I tried a the combo version and I was quite impressed with it.
