Oooh, lovely Boogie retro 👍

Oh, I like the look of that.....and switchable impedance down to 2 ohms.

I wonder if this is the work of @agedhorse ?

I’m hoping he’ll be along to confirm, either way nice to see a small amp that doesn’t look the same as all the other small amps…

valve pre-amp and class D power?  Looks nice but hasnt this already been done to death?

It has, but Mesa are a different breed and these are all built in the USA (not that it is a big deal really as any country can make a great amp).

 

For 999, I think that is reasonable. I expected more. 

 

I am interested in this.

I do like the tone controls, simple layout and overall retro look.

 

£999 is good for a Mesa bass amp. My Walkabout combo cost me about £1500 quid in 2008, and the Big Block 750 I really wanted at the time was £1800 which is more expensive than any of the current heads in 2025. 

 

This is very much the Mesa amp I would be looking at if I was going to get another one, unless they release a class D Big Block...
