Best person to speak to at Mesa is Mike Bendinelli who has been there almost since the beginning. You could also send the amp to them, just the chassis, for cost, and they can go through and restore it to it's original state. The Mark series of amps may even be able to retro fit your amp into a...

Question? Do you know how loud the Mark series are? Even the 60 watt version will take your head off, and hearing. 2 mesa's you would be competing with 2 stacks of Marshalls. And they sound best when turned above 2 on the dial.

Simul class has 2 settings like the 60/100 amps. It runs the amp on class A with 15 watts using just 2 tubes. You can use either EL34 or 6L6 tubes in that slot. The other tube slots use 6L6 tubes. Running in class A with 15 watts in can be used at home and small club, or miked. Running in full...

The SOB is what I bought back in 1985, it is a simul class, and has reverb and effects loop. Not quite a Mark I but will stand up with an excellent tone, if you have room to let it open up. That is in my icon. I later got a Mark III simul/reverb combo, but sold it, and a 50 caliber Head, which...

excellent looking, it seems to be brand new, showroom condition. The original boogie, mark I series had a great sound. Very easy to use, took pedals with ease, had a great clean voice too. But that first series just had that over the edge classic rock sound. Future Boogies were ok, you just had...

I had one of these, that I purchased in 1986, same height as the 4x12 but not as wide. Not as heavy as the 4x12 and they sounded great

Why not just get the tubes made for the amp Mesa Boogie. Power Tubes - EL34 STR 446 - Matched Pair Price is just a bit more than other brands, but bias is set for Mesa amps.

Running the amp without simul will give you 15watt's only using the EL34, when switching to simul all tubes are running. By Mesa's information, you can use all 4 6l6gc in a simul amp. The lower wattage with just the El34, do not give the same sound as running all 4 tubes. Again the bias may be...

That looks like one of the originals, that sold at Prune Music. It has the Altec Speaker that some of the amps came with. At that time Randall was the one who built and signed every amp that came out. Truly a keeper and one to have Mesa go through and check the system. Think Santana when you...

So true, tubes just have a bit of sag, the solid state diodes are quick, so that is the difference. Hearing it, very hard, but playing you can tell. Cheers! In essence all amplifiers with tubes could be called Rectifiers, since they use one or the other. I had an app with tube rectifier, and...

Question is WHY do you have to comment? Mind your own business and stop being the Mesa Police with a negative attitude. Stop reading the boogieforum, all info is available to fix a Mesa Amp from Boogie, or their factory outlets. This is just people communicating. By the way, Deluxe Reverb...

Mesa is incorrect in labeling "rectifier amp" without a tube rectifier IMO. What the tube does is: "The rectifier: If a vacuum tube rectifier is used, sag is generated because of the internal resistance of the tube. Unlike a solid-state rectifier, a tube rectifier exhibits a fair amount of...

All these Recfifiers pictured, and the original Boogie!

Mark the Altec does fit without modification.

Most likely post production added. I heard about the EV speakers and some Altec, but had not heard about JBL's as an option. But maybe, it was made for a well known guitar player and Mesa did it for the person. Also a lot of Boogies were sold out of Prune Music, local store and they might have...

Here is a Price List

I went to the factory when I purchased my SOB, and Doug was the salesperson, and yes, they would do most anything you wanted, that was available. Not sure, now with such a large company, and making so many amps that this is still true. Most people in the Bay Area during the 70's 80's could just...

I have had my SOB since 84 when I ordered a long chassis head, simul class amp. I later had Mesa in Petaluma install the amp in a cabinet. This is the only Mesa Boogie I still have. Works great, try to forget about the limit control. Any other info you need, let me know. Also many SOB owners...

Titebond is GREAT! I have been using their glue for years in woodworking. II or III would be your choice. Instead of screws, I would recommend using a drill and install dowels with the titebond glue. Glue first, clamp as previously mentioned and if necessary a temp screw to keep it in place...

Yes it does have an effects loop, and the control in the middle of the 2 open jacks is for Reverb. The original amp was just a head, with no reverb or loop. I previously lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, and just an hour+ drive to Petaluma where Boogie is located. They did the reverb and...
