Randall Smith on Reproducing the Magic in 'The Pit' 

The Dumbledore of Tone. man I love boogie amps.

There are a lot of nice amps, but.....I'm so proud of Mesa Boogie...American quality and innovation at its best! I love their product, passion & attitude.

i could listen to randall talk amps all day.

Fascinating. More please.

very pleasant listening to Randy talk so passionately about his inventions, it actually makes me want to buy a MESA haha, they do sound incredible

Randall is a true genius with a passion for perfection. Bring on the Mark VI! :)

I would just sit and watch him talk about each version of the mesa amp

Randall Smith and Mike Fortin are two of the best amp engineers in the business

How cool would it be to see/hear that "Godfather Recto" fired up??!!

Thank you so much. Mesa are incredible, consistent, and bullit proof. I love Mesa and this man is a genius

Je possédais un Mark2,il y a 25 ans...Quel son!!Quelle puissance!Bravo,c'est vraiment du beau travail!!!

The fact that he doesn't play guitar made me want a Mesa/Boogie . He allows the player to be able to adjust the tone with his great engineering . I bought a custom Walnut cab Fillmore 25 Mesa/Boogie . I passed on the 50 watt cause of the cab size . I'm buying a matching extension 1/12 with the same walnut and wicker grille.......It looks like a late 70's early 80's amp . I love the ole wood grain days . Our Pioneer Receivers , Atari 2600's , The Basement walls .........

Awesome man. I LOVE the sound of Mesas. With the TA and RA series' I think you guys have kinda cornered the market and make every type of amp sound and make the most consistent, best sounding amps in the world. Thanks for making them affordable to boot.

I would die to have one of these old rusty prototypes. Seriously. Incredible.

Wire coupling. He gave away a secret right there, a small amount of deliberate coupling to increase harmonics.

What a legend

Great job on the Mini rectifier! my first boogie. Smooth and tone full amp!

It would be 'the' dream to have a twenty-four pack of beer, my 1959 Gibson Les Paul VOS and my favorite 4X12 cab and play those prototypes. I just purchased my fourth Mesa, a Royal Atlantic 100 head, wonderful amp. The rest of the herd includes Triple Rectifier(three channel/parallel loop), Stiletto Deuce II, and Lonestar 2X12. The tone of Randall Smith's amps is the magic that inspires me to play. Not to mention very rewarding when I put them together in pairs, or paired up with other amps. I always find myself playing my Mesa amps more than any other amp/s I own. But one of the most rewarding aspect of owning Mesa Engineering amplifiers is the quality of the build and structural integrity. The other day when I was in an EVH type of swagger, my Stiletto II started to lose volume. A quick call to Mesa support, a brief dialogue between myself and the tech, he advises me to put a certain tube into V3 and V4, which I had in my reserves, and BAM! Stiletto II is up and 'running with the devil' EVH style. Best damn amps around, with honorable mention that they are made in the U.S.A. Thanks Mesa.

MESA is the best amps ever best tone and all hand made i cali simply the best i love my new Mesa mini rec iots so versatile and incredabe metal tone thank you MesaBoogie i will alwys be a proud happy customer and thanks for helping me out Marcus you guys look after your customers i love you all!!! would love to go on a plat tur to the factory

People can whine and moan about Mesa/Boogie prices all they want...... but nothing sounds, plays, or FEELS like a Mesa! And they are practically bullet proof. Mesa Amps are all I've played for the past several years and all I will continue to use. They are the perfect blend of quality, tone, reliability, and versatility. Money well spent.

i would love ANY of these prototypes,all would be much better but even one would make my life much more fulfilling. this man has done more for music and metal in general than anyone on the planet,he has been at the root of musical baddassery thousands of times .he's the god father of epic thrash,speed metal,djent and any other singing epic killer tone and made the princeton into a godly tone machine.

wow what a smart, nice guy

I would LOVE to hear him fire up that Dual Recto proto...oh man.

More of these cool videos please..

Oh man what I would do to be able to get into that room.. I bet i would play for two days straight

1:29 best part ;-)

wow what an amazing video. I bet anyone you agree to you throwing them away in their direction ;)

MESA is the best amps ever best tone nd all hand made i cali simpl the best i ove my new Mesa

just can't stop imagine the moment when he finished the dr prototype ang plug a guitar in it...

Sans exagérer,Boogie est la référence pour la guitare(claire et saturée)

Andy Timmons and Lonestar, the magic duo...

holly crap I agree with everything he's saying, from personal experience...I even have my own prototype wall.

Man, what I wouldn't do to be able to spend a day shooting the shit with this guy.

This guy's cool...

Another tube sacrificed for tone. 🙌

when are we gunna see a mark 6 ? :D
