About CaliRoadster
Enter the next evolution in GENOME’s premier amplifier component line-up – the TSM-Ai Series. Fusing immaculate proprietary Ai captures, meticulously modelled tonestacks and expertly engineered power amp emulation, the TSM-Ai Series delivers on a singular mantra: empower players of all walks with unparalleled versatility and no-compromise authenticity to elevate any RIG to mainstage status.
Buckle up — CaliRoadster puts you behind the wheel of one of the most gigged, recorded, and road-worn amps in modern history. Inspired by the legendary Fender® Hot Rod Deluxe, this two-channel TSM-Ai component is a tone junkie’s dream: punchy cleans, juicy drive, a killer “More Drive” boost, and that unmistakable spring reverb swirl — all packed into a fuss-free interface that’s primed to rock any rig.
CaliRoadster’s Clean channel is all about clarity, touch, and sparkle. With a dedicated 3-band EQ and single volume control, it pushes like a vintage amp should — clean at first, then blooming into breakup as you lean in. No master volume here — just that organic gain structure players crave. Switch over to the Drive channel, and you’re in raunchy, edge-of-breakup territory. Want more bite? Hit the More Drive switch and unleash even more gain — perfect for solos, saturated rhythm parts, or just getting a little rowdy.
Both channels feature their own dedicated 3-band tone stacks and a Normal/Bright mode switch, letting you shape your response for different guitars, pickups, or moods. Need extra snap for single-coils? Flip to Bright. Want a rounder response for humbuckers? Stay on Normal and let it sing. Two input paths — High and Low sensitivity — let you tailor the front-end response to match your playing style or dial in just the right touch sensitivity.
Then there’s CaliRoadster’s Spring Reverb. It’s lush, it’s deep, and it’s completely defeatable if you want to go dry. Dial in subtle ambience or dive into full-on surf territory with a dedicated Reverb Amount control. A global Presence knob sits in the power amp section, giving you final control over upper-mid cut or bite — plus, if you’re looking to run preamp-only into GENOME’s TSM Power Amp Component, the power section can be bypassed entirely.
From jangly clean intros to wide-open overdrive solos, CaliRoadster keeps your tone articulate and defined — even when you’re pushing it hard. Whether you’re stacking pedals, chasing tube breakup, or just looking for a go-to amp to cover blues, country, rock, and Americana, this TSM-Ai amp brings the vibe of a classic and the feel of the real thing.
