In part 1 of the tour, we get to check out two of Mesa' most important areas; Mesa Founder Randy Smith's workshop and design room.

For me, Mesa Boogie is the ultimate amp!!!

@boogiejos 12 лет назад

Wow! So nice to see where my tone addiction (llook at my skipname...) is born....Mesa rules for me; some 15 years now, after trying all kinds of amps. I have one problem though.....selling them (for another Boogie) is soooo very hard......Thanks for posting!

Nice, you just say it all. I have been workig on tube amps for 5 yers till now and its amazing ho a simple 15W fender Tweed can do. I started with a 50W JCM800 based amp and it has a plenty of power and feel to it.

@3:30 Revision A & B of the dual rectifier...some serious amp history right there!

@Turboy65 Год назад

Just let me buy ONE of those prototypes off the shelf. I pick....a Mark IIC+. Knowing it's going to need some love.

@thewererabbit 15 лет назад

word, I'm very happy about this, I'm sure I'm not the only one either.

I never understood why certain informational videos like this still have dislikes. It's not exactly the type of video that polarizes opinions.

Mesa amplifier simply rule!!!

@rjw7032 11 лет назад

Jim Marshall died on April 5th, 2012. The iconic JCM800 circuits spawned Soldano's, 5150/6550's, Double and Triple rec's and others well in to the 1980's. Original Marshal amps were copies of early Fender Bassman amps. The only real difference was the use of EL34 instead of expensive 6L6 power tubes. Mesa Boogie amps were also copies of hot rodded Fender Amps. Let's just say that both Marshall and Mesa Boogie owe a lot to early Fender amp circuits and still "borrow" others ideas today.

As an Eletronics Engineer I had all those Ideas by myself, but concerned if someday one of those well-know companies will just starting Billing-me if I start to seel Home-made amps, what for now is my Hobby.(A really nice hobby by the way)

This is where my Mark V was born

@21stCENTURYBOY12 13 лет назад

Marshall vox and Mesa boogie,the only amps that exist to me;D

@IlIlIlIlIllIllII 11 лет назад

Marshall isn't even on the same level as Mesa. All Mesas are hand assembled. Marshalls are built on an assembly line.

@ritsmond 7 лет назад

JVpictures Mesas are generally twice the price of Marshalls. Edit: They do have Handwired series' and custom shop amplifiers which are about the same price as Mesa.

@guitarfan1979 13 лет назад

you tellin me one guy is responsible for mesa sound ?

@Astro-Av 12 лет назад

...even the PCB's look good Oo

@lordqs 11 лет назад

Its amazing too how MesaBoogie has created its own "Knowed" Sound, and functions and so. Only thing i could call a "shame" would be mesa wanting to patent every little idea. I mean, Diode/Tube rectifying? Thats so Natural choice, it shuld not be "owned" for some company. The sme apllies to channel changeing, mute output, valve changing arranges whit realys, etc...

@KHGuitarFreak1988 15 лет назад

Even so, the Mark V is a great amp. I'm sure no one would pay for a Mark IV if they needed to charge stupid amounts for the rarity of parts...

@Spike674 13 лет назад

@jsabo1929 Marshall has fans?

@yschepers12 15 лет назад

No, you're not the only one, here I am. The mesa mistery gets lichtend a bit

@Emogal1991 12 лет назад

and my roadster :D

@MusicFillsMyLife 13 лет назад

I love this whole tour, but why the hell have all the revisions of the rectifier continues to suck (except for the reborn) and never sounded better than the original? To me that room is a hell hole!

@AllenHarrison 14 лет назад

Worst camera work I remember seeing for a professional video. Interesting subject, major detraction on the 10 year old with mom's video camera.

@strandwolf 15 лет назад

LOL yokel.

@wizzear 15 лет назад

stop listening to other people's sayings, and go try it out at your nearest mesa dealer:P

@yaniv-nos-tubes 4 года назад

mesa tubes are made in china

@sheikybaby3774 4 года назад

Almost all amp tubes are made in china maybe 90% and only around 10% from russia or other countries so whats your point?

@erictripton 6 лет назад

I'm not over the fact that Mesa copied Soldano and called it the rectifier..... Soldano Rules, mesa drools

@TrebleMidBass 6 лет назад

mesa was a modder company for other brands before they came in the market as a new brand..

@ericwilliams7374 5 лет назад

Actually they owe a lot to Fender. Though I love Soldano amps, if you look at the Mark Series Mesa Boogie amps, and. Fender Bassmen amp, they are very similar in "design".
