NAD - Boogie Fillmore

[Markedman]

Boogie put out a retro amp. A 2 channel, non-GEQ 50/25 watt amp. Meh,.. I'll stick with my Boogies made for metal.

Hmmm, if it sounds as good as say the old Maverick or Rlectra Fynr I wouldn’t mind hearing it. They already have high gain more than covered.

They're an amp company, what are they supposed to do?

looks like a cool amp. there are more genres than metal so it makes sense to build different types of amps.

I've been waiting for this one to come out. Pedal friendly. Blackface, Tweed from the clean channel. Seems it's EQ is probably post gain. Most dynamic touch responsive amp they have built.

i really really liked the electra dyne, to be perfectly honest i thought the jazz fusiony sound that came out of that amp was very impressive

thought i was shawn lane, but without the whoa there chops

fillmore idk, whatever

I’m pretty excited to hear it. Cool Fender/Mark vibe by the look of it.

I remember talking to Stephen about an amp like this from Mesa at least two years ago. First thing I thought of when I saw it. Looks like a killer amp for a pedalboard!

Similar to the Lone Star? Maybe a replacement?

This is the Boogie amp of all of them that I would probably be most interested in, for that reason. I mean you COULD play metal with a lot of things, right?

It's not a Mark or Lone Star type amp..... It's based on the Fender Tweed amps from the 50's. Hotrod MESA style.

The Lone Star and Mark amps are tone controls before gain....Like blackface Fender. This amp is tone controls after gain like Tweed or Marshall....near as I can tell.

It's a completely new amp.... Not based on any previous amps MESA has sold. It is not replacing anything.

From what I have read and heard it does Tweed. Blackface type tones with the Clean mode with low gain.
The clean channel is very much designed to work with pedals.
The two gain channels are vintage English type overdrive from the 70's and early 80's. This means Hiwatt, Orange, Vox, Marshall, Park, etc to me...But with some MESA from that same era.

It's based vintage voiced amp...they have modern stuff covered with Mark and Rectifier. I'm sure you can do metal etc with pedals and this amp.

Supposedly Andy Timmons is working on a video for this amp for MESA.

I did have a conversation with Randy about this amp and a few others a few years ago. The TC series and now the Fillmore series. The concept has evolved since that conversation. Personally I'm very much looking forward to trying this amp. I love the vintage stuff and pretty much have the modern stuff more than covered.

My Heartbreaker can get in the Tweed range but I would say it's more Marshall JTM. Even does JCM 800 type stuff with the right settings. Similar....it does not exactly replace these amps. The other channel on the Heartbreaker does Fender Blackface and MESA Mark I sounds. If this amp can do Fender Tweed Deluxe and some versatility beyond that I'm more than interested.

While a lot of metal guys play boogies, they have always been a very diverse amp company attracting players from all genres. This new offering does not surprise me and seems like a really cool amp.

I think it sounds pretty good.

Yup seems like a quality amplifier. I thought it might be a F- Series type sounding amp, but it appears to be less American voiced.
