ABOUT MESA
Introduced in 1969, the Boogies proved to be absolute giant killers (in more ways than one) and began to re-define forever what a guitar amp could be and do.  A small company working closely with leading players and fiercely dedicated to innovation and quality made a successful end-run around the sleeping giants of the industry.

BUILT TOUGH
Each chassis is still entirely hand-wired, checked-out, teched-out and as always, bashed repeatedly with a hammer while turned full up. (Though sometimes UPS can be even harsher!) Then there is a play-test, followed by a 24-hour burn-in, another electronic check, installation into a cabinet and a final play-test by a different musician and another final check before packing. Every Mesa/Boogie from the most expensive to the least uses the identical top-grade materials and assembly techniques. Every Mesa/Boogie, including all the cabinets, is entirely made in Mesa's one location in Petaluma, California where serious tone has been since 1980.

BUILT FOR TONE
Mesa is still pioneering the frontiers of tone. And they have barely changed the way they design and build their first amplifiers. What changes Mesa has made are all based on Randall Smith's years of experience as the designer and builder. And every little thing is calculated for one purpose only: To Produce a Better Amplifier.

BUILT TO PERFORM
