Boasting a diverse catalogue, the wide-ranging appeal of Mesa/Boogie’s tube-powered amplifiers remains strong. In a time where modelling amps are seeing a sharp increase in popularity, the pure, unbridled tones offered by Mesa/Boogie amps still satisfy the ears of many guitar and bass players in the 21st Century.

With legendary artists such as Carlos Santana using Mesa/Boogie, the brand is most often associated with hard rock and metal acts. With a huge number of musicians on their books, some of Boogie’s most loyal artists include James Hetfield (Metallica), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) and John Petrucci (Dream Theater). 

History of Mesa/Boogie

Mesa/Boogie was founded by Randall Smith in the 1970s. Formed from a love of modifying circuits, Smith gained notoriety for “hot-rodding” amps and vastly improving their tones to deliver higher amounts of gain. 

Various pro players took notice, and Smith’s reputation as an amp guru grew quickly within the industry. This led to the formation of Mesa/Boogie and, of course, the production of their very own amplifiers. Decades later, Randall Smith still heads up his design team, continuing to pioneer new amps that push the boundaries.

Hand-made in California, Mesa/Boogie amplifiers are highly-regarded for their excellent levels of tweakability. With many of their products, such as the Mark V series, featuring two EQ sections and multiple channels, the versatility of their tube-driven amps is virtually unmatched.
