Finally a good tour of the Mesa Boogie Factory. I never thought this was going to happen.

I got a Mesa tour today with Tien. Super nice dude, and an awesome factory.

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

Mesa amplifier simply rule!!!

This is where my Mark V was born

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

you tellin me one guy is responsible for mesa sound ?

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

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.

...even the PCB's look good Oo

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...

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...

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

@jsabo1929 Marshall has fans?

and my roadster :D

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!

ultimately

wow no CAD haha thats crazy now and days no wonder mesas are so amazing haha

LOL yokel.

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

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

mesa tubes are made in china

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

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

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

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".

2 marshall fans hate mesa
