    The Mesa Boogie Quad: Still worth it in 2024?

    I've owned many, many, Boogies and the Quad is my favorite. I've tried a few power amps with it and I like the tone I get with the 50/50. What is the "Russian Treatment"? 9/13/2021 by John Bazzano, on Flickr At one point I had the Quad paired with a Rectifier preamp and a 400 power amp...

    ⚡️?? lightning strike - the tubes light up✨

    The amp is on its way back to Mesa Boogie. I haven’t decided whether to get the effects pedals fixed. They are as follows, a Cowboys from Hell Wahwah pedal, a polytune tuner, a corona reverb unit and a GCX controller. It’s strange that three out of seven we’re affected, but the power supply...

    ⚡️?? lightning strike - the tubes light up✨

    The lightning struck a tree, and the current traveled through the dog fence wire into the control unit.

    ⚡️?? lightning strike - the tubes light up✨

    6:30 AM Saturday, a lightning strike hit my underground dog fence line which led to a fire in my house and my Mesa Boogie amp not making any sound. The tubes light up but the lights on the front don’t. No sound other than a little something from the speakers from the power amp section. I also...

    Maybe it actually works....??

    I have some really nice amps and guitars that I love to play and do play pretty much every day. I’ve been playing for hours every day to keep up my chops for gigging. My kids found it enjoyable when I just sat there dialing in a low E for about five minutes trying to make it as tight as humanly...

    MR. HUMBLE - Yngwie Malmsteen press conference at Hellfest 2024

    This video explains everything about what’s either right or wrong with him. He explains why he will take his toys and go home. If you’re going to play with him, you must obey. He clearly explains why everyone else is the asshole, and he doesn’t care if you agree with him or not. I was in...

    Mesa Mark IV A/Bs

    I've loved Boogies since I first played one. Mark's are much different than your standard TMB amps as anyone who's played a mark knows. For, metal tone, the bass is at very, very, low and the GEQ is in play. For clean tone, bass up and GEQ off. I've owned 4 Mk.IV's including an A/B and it was...

    Lace sensor…

    I have the "Drop & Gain" pick-ups in 2 of my guitars. I love them. I'm going to get a set of the Stratocaster pick-ups soon.

    New love for an old pedal?

    It all depends on what amp you use. If you have a Marshall JCM800, I doubt you'll find a better drive pedal than a Distortion +. It doesn't work all that well with a Boogie. Boogies like tube screamers, which sound like shit, IMO, with a Marshall. Like most MXR pedals, the older the better.

    Mesa and Celestion Myths, Lies, Deception, Slander, Sabotage

    I missed out doing drugs because I'm a big pussy, or so I was told. Seeing first hand what drugs turn people into, then reading stuff like this scared me into not trying them. Once again I get to see what others get from doing them. This guy is really really high, or actually insane. Paranoia...

    Poll; to mod or not to mod?

    I have a feeling that you are right about that. I bought the guitar because I thought it was really cool. And, it was all original, early Norlin. I won’t take a bath selling it and if I need to play some songs that are not rock, it’s a great choice. In real life, the neck and overall feel is...

    Poll; to mod or not to mod?

    I recently bought a 1973 Gibson SG Custom. The guitar plays nicely with a really outstanding neck. I just can't bond with the tone and the fact it won't stay in tune at all. That's probably why after 51 years it's in near new condition. My choices are, leave it in the case and look at it...

    WTF? I can’t join “SG guitars”!

    I donate to The Boogie Board yearly because the guy running it always sends a thank note. There is good info on the board and I appreciate it so I donate to keep it there for other Boogie owners. I'm 1% or less of the users who do that. I'm on few other boards, Marshall, Les Paul, etc., but...
