Mesa-Boogie Single Rectifier
Channel 1 is a completely new circuit, which allows you to select between the "Clean" or "Pushed" modes. Clean is serious about clean! Its powerful pre-gain E.Q. ranges from "fat & bubbly" to "crisp & spanky". Pushed features an amazing gain sweep, from subtle "purring" to "stinging" blues tones - kick up the gain a bit further for roadhouse rock - and crank it all the way up for "classic" style crunch.
Channel 2 is pure Rectifier in all its glory! In the truest sense, this channel is aimed at gain and features Boogie's most sought after circuits from the original Dual Rectifier designs. Select between the world famous "Vintage High Gain" or "Modern High Gain" modes. Now all you have to do is figure out how you would like to inflict the damage during your solo... the old traditional "Bone Crushing" style of Vintage High Gain or the 90's "Industrial Meltdown" style of Modern High Gain!
Both of these channels feed into a brand new, footswitchable, "Solo" Level Control. This new Solo feature is post-Master Output Level and allows you to select the perfect amount of "Soloing Boost", without having to reach for your guitar's volume knob. With a simple touch of the footswitch you can apply the Solo level to any channel, in any mode, at any time. Finally, all of this pent up pre-amp power feeds into a new 50 watt, dual 6L6 driven, Class A/B Recto power section. What an amp! Life's too short (and the music is too important!) to have bad tone... Plug into a Single Recto, and wail! Enjoy... |

Mesa-Boogie Nomad 55
Anywhere you want to go in the world of tone.
Take your playing over the next horizon. Navigate the landscapes of tone with six classic modes housed in three footswitching channels. Visualize a great guitar sound from any era and it's yours.
Yet with the Nomad, you'll never get lost. The front panel is simple and straight-forward with a no-compromise control layout that repeats three times. Pre-amp voicings are powerful, yet nuanced and richly complex. The opposite of edgy, Channel One features a gorgeous, well-balanced Clean sound that blooms at a less frantic, unhurried pace. Or, gain can be kicked up by switching to Pushed for a grittier break-up, hovering on the verge of clean.
Channel Two is huge, with a wide, round envelope. Notes seem to expand in the air, filling space with a glowing richness. Smoky and purring, this sound is dripping with tone to reward the player who builds his style on finesse. The gain structure spreads from almost-clean to silky, liquid sustain. The Vintage/Modern switch doesn't radically alter the Nomad's gain, rather it brings the sound more forward or lets it lay back, like an old sepia-tone photograph.
Channel Three is punchier, brighter and faster. And once again the Nomad rewards the player with subtle shades of gain at lower settings. One of the favorites is the truly icy blues sound Channel Three delivers. With its Gain set low, it's so touch-sensitive you can articulate chords cleanly and yet fire off punctuation marks with a stinging fury'just by varying your pick attack.
Make no mistake, cranking up either Lead Channel delivers searing high-gain but here it's gain with a refined, diplomatic patina; it's gain that can talk or sing, purr or sting. But the Nomad's inherent tastefulness sets it apart from the brash attitude of our top selling Rectifiers.
Most popular of the Nomads are the 2x12 combos led by the Nomad 45 with its quartet of EL-84 power tubes. This huge sounding, easily portable instrument boasts a tighter, higher bass with a stripped mid-range and a chiming, bell-like top end.
For the player needing giant headroom, the 100 watt head or 2x12 with its four 6L6 power section delivers breathy low-end girth and a true voice of authority. Nomad 100s also include our five-band Graphic EQ for powerful tone-shaping and an alternate, footswitchable sound.
So if you're a more traditional player who uses gain to serve not dictate, your style, then let great tone be your guide. This is one Nomad you can trust. |

Mesa-Boogie Stiletto
Define STILETTO...
sti le' to, noun.
1. A Sicilian dagger with a thin, tapering blade.
2. A sexy woman's shoe with a dagger like heel.
3. A wicked rock head built around EL-34 tubes.
Rock's New High Gain Alternative - Elevating EL-34 Tone from Classic to a Menacing New Realm!
Stiletto marks Mesa's dedication to the legendary power behind heavy rocks British ancestry. Razor sharp and finely honed, the Stiletto is mean enough to hang with a wall of Rectos and slice right through the mix with a trademark new sound.
Matter of fact, that was Boogie's primary goal: Create the perfect high-gain companion to our own icons, the Dual and Triple Rectifier Heads. Matching their mind-blowing performance, this searing new blade was forged to cut its own deadly swath, and elevate the EL-34 sound from classic to a menacing new realm. Just like the Rectos did to 6L6s!
Tighter, higher Bass. Lower, fatter Mids. And a hazy harmonic top where luscious overtones line up in a shimmering crystalline spread. This sonic assault fits tightly with a Recto in an aggressive two-guitar band, allowing each player to carve out a distinctive region and own it.
Two ruthless pre-amp channels keep that chrome panel gleaming and simple. Channel One fashions an urgent, expansive clean sound or can be switched to clone the sinister fury of Channel Twos high-gain thrust. Advancing with the Gain control takes you from a 34-style Brit Blues clip, through classic UK Hard Rock to a hellacious new frontier of modern grind.
Channel 1 Gain Select
Channel 1 offers a choice between a more traditional gain CLEAN mode and a HI GAIN clone of Channel 2. Channel Cloning adds incredible versatility to the spanking, urgent clean sound. Don't be surprised if this is the best EL34 Clean you've ever heard!
Channel 2 Voicing switch
(Raw & Claw) Channel 2 offers two different HI Gain voicings. RAW purrs with creamy vintage soul, while CLAW adds upper-mid attack and top end aggression for the ultimate modern grind. Either way you play it the Stiletto takes EL34 expression to a new realm.
Each channel of the Stiletto Deuce can be set for 50 or 100 watt performance, while the Trident offers the clippable 50 or a truly stunning 150 watts of coliseum headroom, per channel. Each channel also offers your choice of Rectifiers: Silicon Diodes or Tube Tracking which automatically matches the optimum number of 5U4s to the power array selected. |

Mesa Boogie F-50 and F-30 head
Fearsome performance from a friendly front panel in a stealthy phantom package. This is the F-Factor.
Descended directly from the heralded Dual Calibre and Studio amplifiers, today's F-Series are shocking tone monsters. In fact, the F-50 was recently honoured with the second of only two Five Star Gold Awards ever given by Guitarist magazine.
Don't be deceived by the minimalist look of this tidy layout underneath lurks all the tone you'll ever need. Diehard traditionalists have acclaimed the F-50 clean sound as perhaps our best ever, standing up against their most precious vintage gems. If you play guitar, the elastic bounce and chiming bell-like top bring a liveliness to comping that must be experienced.
Channel Two is superbly balanced for the medium gain range where purring blues gives way to rock n roll rhythm and soft-clip solo sounds. This mode enables you to zero-in on the region that best fits your playing style and the dynamics of your individual pick attack.
Footswitching to Contour infuses a double dose of steroids and pumps up the gain to fiery proportions producing one of the most hellacious crunch sounds around. This grinding wall of gain was inspired by our mighty Dual Rectifier and creates a unique and luscious harmonic spread slightly different, but every bit as menacing as the Recto.
Power is served up in three delectable dishes that can satisfy any appetite with their distinctive and different flavors. All these tones are served fresh on a plate of custom Celestions.
The tangy bite of the F-30 with its patented 2xEL-84 Dyna-Watt Power delivers dynamic bursts far in excess of its modest rating and a spankin attitude only these nine-pin power punks can deliver.
The rich and tasty F-50 with its tried and true 2x6L6 power duo tends to be the main course. This popular platter balances delicious little amp harmonics with big amp versatility to arrive at a perfect blend that blooms with tone.
Then theres the banquet of pentodes all laid out in the mighty F-100s 4x6L6 spread: it can fill up any crowd with its thick, rib-sticking gain and fatter low end. King of the F-Series, this bad-ass tube buffet will cater any size gig, and you'll be tasting glory on the long ride home.
So if you've tried the latest wave of gadget amps and were left feeling cold from a digi-dream that turned into a no-tone nightmare do the side-by-side taste test. Put an F-Series against any amp of any price or style including boogie's own. At a modest price the F-Factor delivers fully-featured, fantasy-amp tone from a new hallmark of all-tube, hand-built instruments and focuses on the basic principle: You gotta have tone if you're gonna play your best!
The F-50 received the second of only two Five-Star Gold Awards ever given by Guitarist magazine. |

Randall RM100M
A Head with no Rival! The new Randall flagship sets the standard and will forever revolutionize how future tube heads are designed. The RM100 is both traditional and modern technology rolled into one amplifier. First, you have 3 independent modular channels that can be loaded with your choice and combination of the available tube preamp modules. Load each channel with a preamp tone that fits only your needs with the ability to expand your arsenal anytime a new tone is needed. Don't purchase an amplifier because you like only it's clean or hi-gain tone. Build this amp with your clean, your rhythm, and your hi-gain tone for a complete custom set up. With more than a dozen tube preamps always available, chances are you'll have a hard time picking just three.
Change and bias your own power tubes! Enjoy the ease of replacing your power tubes anytime you like with the very user friendly power tube bias section found on each MTS amplifier. If a tube fails, no problem, the amp will kick that tube out of the circuit and a small LED will light by the tube that fails. Replace only the small protection fuse and tube using a small voltage meter and small screwdriver to adjust each individual bias point. If you like experimenting with different tube types, the bias section allows you to pop-in and bias a new set of tubes in just a few minutes.
MIDI channel switching and capability! Connect your RM100 to any MIDI capable external
processing and program individual effects to each channel. With the MIDI in/thru jacks simply select your channel and external effect, using the included RF3 MIDI footswitch, press and hold the channel switch button on the head for 2 seconds and hit the store button of the processor to save the preset. The included footswitch will then select both the RM100 channel and effect you want at the same time.
So, whether you're a single coil picker that likes the look of a vintage amp, or a player that loves the full in your face growl of humbuckers, we offer 2 distinct looks to fit your style. |

Randall RH100 and RH200 heads
Successor to the original RH and RG amplifiers, the G2 Series continues the breakthrough of professional performance at a practical price. Equipped with updated front panel features and foot switching controls, these amps deliver the bone crushing Randall tone with improved flexibility. Gain 1 covers the classic Brit hi-gain, while gain 2 provides punishing modern hi-gain Randall tone. Both gain modes utilize the same features including a contour control to shape and a Voicing switch to shift midrange frequencies. Each channel features independent reverb controls, while the clean channel includes a foot switchable boost function. So if you're shopping for power and performance, do yourself a favor and see what your tone has been missing. |

Orange AD140H
Dubbed "the best amplifier in the world", by UK magazine Guitarist, the AD140 LEAD is more than you could possibly imagine!
It's always great to go home, grab a guitar, plug in to your favourite amp, wack both the master and gain up to 10, and wig out... **WARNING** DO NOT TRY THIS WITH THE AD140! Producing 140 watts of clean headroom and a searing 200 watts of thick distortion the AD140 is not only liable to cause you serious health problems but your previously friendly neighbors will certainly not be impressed by your musicianship! This is an amp for guitarists who have tried the rest and need just a little more.
On first consideration, many people consider a 140 watt amp to only be suitable for full on stadium rock! Ironically the AD140 is popular with country musicians looking for the cleanest tone possible at high volumes.
If you need to be loud, then the AD140 twin channel head should be right at the top of your perfect amplifier wish list!
Channel 1
Voiced with slightly less gain and slightly more head room, channel 1 allows you to fully crank the master to obtain a super loud clean tone saturated with warmth. Start dialing in the gain control, and channel 1 will take you seamlessly through snappy break up into crunchy rhythm and finally, full on distortion. This channel is perfect for any rhythm guitar part whether you're playing country, blues, punk or rock!
Channel 2
From warm clean to full on distorted lead guitar, channel 2 has it all! Voiced with more gain, the Orange engineers designed Channel 2 for a fully driven distortion sound without losing the purity of it's clean tone. It's this tonal verity that makes the AD twin channel amplifiers so incredibly versatile! Of course you could use channel 1 for clean and channel 2 for lead. But what about channel 1 from distorted rhythm and channel 2 for distorted lead boost. Or even channel 2 for rhythm clean and channel 1 for a loud clean solo boost! The options are endless and the choices are yours. |
