Mesa boogie head track : Unobtainable product
- Thread starter Slash_83
- Start date
Help Support The Boogie Board:
Just about every pedal or similar product made by Mesa fall into the unobtanium category. It is not just a Europe issue but also in the USA too. I have been waiting to get another Mesa Switch track but not in production at this current time. I assume production of the accessory products will resume sometime but uncertain as to when. Not sure what other products would be similar to the head track.
This may do the job but does not appear to swap the FX loop. It only switches between two tube amps and a single speaker cabinet. Something that disconnects the load from one amp and reconnects to another is like playing double jeopardy. If not done properly you can result in damage to both amps.

I went to look up the term *unobtanium*.. It is a beautiful expression that perfectly makes the ideaYes, I know the risks of the product.. It will be an ultra-fast high-cost mechanical switch
For a 25/50w resistor
Of course the thought is what you risk if the Switch freezes.. it's not nice

I thought there was another brand out there that did a similar thing. I must be thinking of the many different competitors to the Mesa Switch track. That device I have interest in.
If you go to Mesa's website, the Head-track, Switch-track and Midi-matrix are no longer shown as options to buy. I assume they disabled the content since it is not in production at this time. Wonder if it will resume at any point in time or will they end up as discontinued product. From what I understand there is a huge backlog of orders. Some of it was related to COVID-19 pandemic, and some of it is related to the Russian/Ukraine war (mostly tube related).
This is an old post, but the products that went hard to get are back in stock in many places. Sweetwater has them. I see they have 4 in stock with more on the way. I assume Mesa is caught up on most of their back orders and such.

Now what about that 5-band EQ pedal...
Not sure, have not been looking for it. Just do a search and see if it comes up. If not, it could be obsolete. If you look at Mesa's website, most of the good stuff is gone. No headtrack, switchtrack or any other associated device for the FX loops including the 5BGEQ. It could just be hidden to prevent orders? Not sure. You could email customer service to see if it has been discontinued.
Musician's Friend claims they have it in-stock. I believed that when I bought some STR445 tubes and it took over 6 months to get them. Call to find out it is really in stock first. May be inventory at GC as the stored are related.

Even Guitar center has stock but does it really?
