After owning many Mesa's and this is true of most amps a well set EQ pedal in the loop is like magic

Want an amp model impulse response for the quad cortex for this massive tone.

Is the Mesa oversize slant? Traditional straight front would be closer to the splawn

At one time I had the 4x12 and got frustrated often due to the big bottom end and no matter how much EQ editing I did it was still too much. I got rid of them, unfortunately! Today, I purchased the 2x12 Recto cabinet and after hearing your comparison I think I'm going to be happy. there is a more midrange and less low end to Thant the 4x12. The 4x12 still are nice but... I'm going to run a VHT power amp with a Bogner Uberschall Synergy module and a parametric EQ with my EMG's hum bucker.

Freidman is very better!!

Hello, thanks for the excellent video. What do you think about if i use that “darkly” roadster on my marshall 1960av cab, will it help to darkness of amp?

1985 had an upgrade.

The 412 sounds like it has reverb and the 212 doesn't.

Mesa and a Camo Hornady hat.. subbed and liked!! Great riff and demo, i dig both. You can push the heck out of a 212.

Splawn for the win for me 🤘🤘🤘

Great video and thanks for the time and the effort. Your Gibson Les Paul Custom is gorgeous. Cheers!

4x12 sounds much better

Not bad, not bad at all. Btw, me and Adam Jones are not boosting recto. Or were not boosting. Mine is stashed away and who knows what Adam did to his recto.

Great video! I like 8 ohm speakers. I have two Mesa 4x12's and a 1x12. I would like to know if a 2x12 sounds better with 8ohm speakers for a 16ohm load. Or 16ohm speakers for an 8ohm load. What would sound more like my cabs?

⚔️ 2:30

Multiwatt hands down, Roadster = blanket, however, when the OD entered, it was perfectly eq'd for the Roadster as it is a darker amp, and it was a little to brite with the Multiwatt, still the MW hands down

Wow your riffs are beautiful. Such melody. Came here for the Roadster tones, stayed for the playing. Subbed,

This confirms for me again why I moved from a Roadster to a Mark V. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Roadster, but I’m just a Mark guy. Solid comparison!!!

Sounds better off

I really like your lack of bias and just sticking to what is apparent in terms of pros cons vs the two, Im gonna be running my evh 2x12 and zilla custom mesa spec standard 4x12 together to get a nice blend I think

For the chug the 4x12 but for everything else the 2x12 sounds better, I'd say use em both for complete domination

Stiletto - especially if you play in a band

Is the overdrive more a tube screamer style or is more of an open overdrive?

Id go for the multi watt. But if i get an roaster for free id get it. Nice comparison 🤘🤘🤘

Mesa Stiletto for me.

Amazing video man. Love the riffs. I'm becoming a mesa fan since my trip to sweetwater. Played a badlander now I'm hooked. The dual rec multi is the best sounding with gain. Cleans go to the roadster. A dirty tree would make that roadster impossible to beat though

In the mix the Splawn sounds better to my ears

Dude, you make some really nice videos, it’s a shame you don’t do them much anymore

Loved the dark evilness and lower mids of the roadster but although people say friedman aren't raw and are more polished and refined i found the opposite here the friedman seemed more raw and bitey and roadster too smoothed out and polished.

Dude where have you been 💔? I hope all is good 🔥🤘🔥

I clicked thumbs up at 0:06. I've been waiting for a 2022 version of this prophetic song(anthem). Endure to the end.

4X12 com 'on man!

I've been playing a Roadster 2x12 combo since 2008, love that amp but the multi watt has it beat IMHO. The roadster is a dark amp no question. Over the years i ran a TS808 org reissue to help clear some mud on ch.3+4 and that def helped. Whats really saved it for me the last year was adding a MXR 10 Band EQ in the loop and the addition of a Horizon Devices(MXR) Precision Drive out in front of the pre amp. I've had a bunch more fun jamming since i've tightened up the low end and eliminated some of the darker tones that w/o a boost you just cant dial out! In the next few years though im gonna treat myself to a new mesa, its either gonna be the dual rec multi or a mark 5. The roadster is a tweakers amp for sure, i still find new settings each time i jam. It was a $2400 investment that has surely been worth every penny. Awesome playing BTW man, crazy to think this was uploaded just as the CV19 pandemic was shuttering the world..2 years goes by pretty fast!

Great sounding melodies with driving rhythm's! Can't get this out of my head, It's been 4 days now and I keep coming back for more! Multi-watt all the way!!! Thank for making these videos!!!

Thank you for everything!!!

What a KILLER cover!

I think it’s been too long since you made a vid! Still playing the JJ?

nailed it....

nice video and sound....i'll try cranking the mid knob a bit whilst in the jbe mode....

I miss this amp, I tried one early 2000's and its the only Boogie I could really connect with. What new Boog has this same mojo???

Splawn !!!! The guitar lives in the Midrange

Great video. I've been running a Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra through my Roadster. Surprisingly, channel 1 sounds like absolute raging magic with the Sabbra. It's just the best clean and saturated distortion sound I've ever had. Love it.

Be a good human and don't be a dumbass. Fucking wise words to live by.

Thank you for this. pretty nuts I gotta give it to the multi watt it cut through alot better in the mix with no processing. The roadster is rather muddy. Although some brightness with some OD and some minor EQ and it would be in almost the same ball park.

Run them together would be best of both in sync

Seriously bad ass riff after 2:40. Bolt thrower but heavier with a great tone. Very well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this comparison out there. Very helpful. Even better on the headphones than the iPhone as you said. I heard the extra high frequency sizzle and presence in the Multi Watt. Curious what pickups and speakers you are using. Thank you

Sickkkkk tone and playing. Love it. Would you consider owning a mesa badlander? Would your shoot it out with the rectifier? I’ve been hoping for an amp demo with your playing style. Really appreciate your upload.

Great video Jon Tate! I’ve got the “Blackout” one the way this January! Subscribed 🤘

Adam Jones liked this video 😉 great tone btw

Splawn all day
