I would love to try a mark, but there are no mesa dealers close by since gc stopped selling them. I do use a maxon with mine sometimes to tighten up the gain, but it really depends what I'm playing. I mainly just use an od for extreme metal. Other than that I use an isp for the background noise and that's it.I like Mesa Marks because their's no OD pedal required really, whereas the Roadster I can't really play at all without a boost or EQ (cleans aside). Though I honestly think I may need to take mine to a tech because it doesn't jive with most of the things I've seen written about it online.
There may or may not be anything wrong with yours, it just might not be tight enough for your personal preference, especially if you're playing some like a mark that's tight and focused. The Roadster is more of just a crushing wall of sound.
