WHAT'S IN THE SEALED BOX:
The Home of Tone®
Over 20 years have passed, two generations of guitarists and several musical trend-cycles since the Dual Rectifier® first unleashed its crushing wall of gain on radio. In that time many have mimicked, modelled, dissected and plagiarized it, but it remains firmly planted at the centre of hard-core… a rock icon. Still leaving the widest, deepest footprint in heavy music and now a long list of chart topping devotees outside the world of heavy, the Rectifier series has grown to include several now famous heavies like the Triple Rectifer®, Road King®, Roadster®, Mini Rectifier®, and Recto®-Verb 25. Welcome to the Rectifier® Series, a line of MESA/Boogie® amplifiers that have shaped modern guitar tone, forever glorified in recording history, influencing guitar amplification technology from the day they were launched on the scene to this very day.

Incredible Multi-Watt™ Channel Assignable Power Amp (Patent Pending). Allows you to assign either 2, or ALL 3 Power Tubes to each Channel for Power Ratings of 50-watts of Class A/B Power via independent 50-watt Power Switches.

INCREDIBLE 3-CHANNEL TUBE AMP HEAD
The Mesa/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ All-Tube Guitar Amplifier Head puts three independent channels of incredible tube tone at your command! If you love that American-sounding clean tone but want that aggressive crunch as well, then this amp for you. The MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ Head gives you smooth clean tones, authentic grit, authoritative crunch - and you can use its three channels (plus multiple modes for each channel) to obtain your favourite sounds and switch among them with ease. It provides exceptional clarity with plenty of headroom on the clean channel and fat, punchy overdriven tones. The overdrive and distortions are far more modern than something like the Dual Rec. They are more mid-focused and will definitely give you guitar the cut to get through any mix.

MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™
PLENTY OF TONAL OPTIONS FROM AN EASY-TO-USE FORMAT
The EQ on MESA® amps is notoriously in-depth and the same can be said for the MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™. It heavily affects how your guitar sounds so you can really shape your guitar tone exactly how you want it. Each channel has 2 voices that are accessed by toggle switches on the front and this will allow you to tailor the amp to your sound.
The modern tube amp needs to have switched options so that it can be integrated into fairly intricate pedalboards. And because this amp is so versatile, it will easily fall into that category. It has midi in and thru and a fully buffered, tube effects loop.
The built-in CabClone™ also provides you with the ability to send out a DI signal to the front of house. The CabClone™ technology emulates the sound of a "mic"ed up guitar cab and so you can get a much more in-your-face guitar sound without worrying about a dodgy sound engineer live.
It also has a headphone and line output and you can change the cab emulation to be open back, closed back or vintage depending on your preferred genre of music.
DIAL IN YOUR FAVOURITE CLEAN TONES OR CHOOSE BIG, BOMBASTIC Boogie® SOUNDS
While navigating the lower-gain territory of channels one and two, you'll enjoy an array of classic and contemporary clean tones. Clean and fat modes add even more options. Once you've dialed in your ultimate clean sound, you can duplicate it in the other channel and modify it for single note applications, a more pushed version, or decide to switch to another mode for a radically different sound. Meanwhile, dedicated American blues and English rock sounds reside in the easily clip-able mid-gain realms of Tweed and Brit. These dynamic and incredibly expressive modes would make an amazing amplifier all by themselves, giving you a palette of tones that run from clean to crunchy. Channel three contains all the mind-altering iconic sounds of the legendary MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ and hand you the keys to the world of high gain - both retro and future. The raw, vintage, and modern modes cover the entire range of gain from a sweet clip to a liquid voice up to a crushing wall of tight grind and are duplicated in this channel. This functionality allows you to either find a favourite sound and dedicate the channels to slight differences or configure them for wildly different styles. The channels' duplicated modes are a powerful feature, making the MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ not just an amp for your current style or band, but a true lifelong companion to your music. This amp offers limitless configurations, keeping pace with your growth as your playing evolves.
MESA/Boogie®'s WARRANTY - THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!
Every new MESA/Boogie® amp is protected by their transferable warranty: 5-Years on the electronics, 3-Years for speakers, and 6-Months for tubes.

Here's what MESA® say about the
Triple Crown™ TC-50™
The Triple Crown owes its DNA to the “other side of MESA” that spawned Rock’s iconic Dual and Triple Rectifier series amps however, Randall Smith and his Mesa Engineering Team have raised the bar with a new platform that features a bold set of new circuits unlike anything they have ever built before.
The Portable MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ Guitar Amp Head stands only 9 5/8" tall and is 22 3/4" wide.
From bubbly, sparkling clean sounds, rarely heard in this type of amp, to an amazingly tight and aggressive wall of Rock Crunch, to one of our most vocal, harmonically rich and gain-laden high-gain channels ever, the Triple Crown™ is aimed at Rock’s high-gain throne! Experience a new generation of Rock Royalty – The Triple Crown™ TC-50™!
YOUR CHOICE OF PUNCH. EL34, 6L6, OR 6V6 POWER
Need versatility? The TC-50™ features our handy BIAS SWITCH allowing you to swap the stock compliment of EL34s with the fatter, rounder sounding 6L6. For those who want a warmer, rounder response and more easily attainable power clip, 6V6s can also be used in the EL34 setting with a direct swap over, creating a “Half-Power” scenario that exudes a more bubbly, vintage voice and creamier top end harmonic content.
Bias Select Switch gives you the power to choose EL34, 6L6 or 6V6 Power Tubes.
The MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown TC-50® is the most fun a guitarist can have on four wheels! This all-tube thoroughbred is far more modern compared to something like the Dual Rec®. Everyone that plugs into the Triple Crown™ TC-50™ is blown away by the tone.
LUSH REVERB, MIDI, DI WITH CAB SIMULATION AND MORE
The Triple Crown™ TC-50™ is MIDI capable with up to 256 Programmable Presets
Our legendary lush all-tube Reverb drenches the TC-50™’s three Channels with a beautiful 3-D halo and provides you with assignable choices on where to use it for the best results. Additional features include MIDI for true connectivity and several ways to access the amazing sounds and pro features in the TC-50™. A STORE toggle switch allows simple one-touch writing of your footswitchable functions to any of 256 MIDI Program Numbers. There is also a MIDI Channel mini Rotary Selector for syncing of the MIDI Channel to be used by your controller of choice.
The CabClone™ D.I., is featured as a convenient live or recording interface for direct input to a live or recording console (mixing board) without the need for a mic and you’ll find the full complement of voicing options have been included; CLOSED BACK, OPEN BACK and VINTAGE, for increased versatility and different sound styles. A HEADPHONE out feature allows for personal enjoyment of the amplifier when it is not possible, or you simply prefer to play without a speaker.

____________________________________________________________________________
This is what GuitarPlayer Magazine had to say about the
MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ amplifier:
“Factor in its MIDI capabilities, and the TC-50™ is an insanely flexible amp that will enable you to get your rock on whether your tone tastes lean toward Andy Summers, Angus Young, or Alexi Laiho. Between its sparkling cleans and furious overdrive, there are plenty of great sounds in this amp that can fill the bill for blues, jazz, country, and a whole lot else. Typical of all Mesa amplifiers, the TC-50™ provides a tremendous amount of bang for the buckage and is a must-play if you’re looking for a single-amp solution for everything you do.”
This may not be your first guitar amp, but it may well be your last.
LOADED WITH GUITARIST - FRIENDLY FEATURES
Not only is the MESA/Engineering® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ 50watt All-Tube Guitar Amp Head a fantastic-sounding amplifier, but it boasts a bevy of features that every guitarist will find beneficial. The true spring reverb tank is footswitchable, along with the tube-buffered effects loop. The amp ships with EL-34 power tubes for British vibe, but a bias select switch enables the TC-50™ to run beautifully with either 6V6 or 6L6 power tubes as well. And the combo amp is also MIDI ready, enabling it to integrate into even the most advanced guitar rigs.
THREE WIDE – RANGING CHANNELS
Though the Triple Crown™'s three channels feature a straightforward design, that doesn't make them any less versatile and powerful than other MESA® designs. Channel One's toggle switch selects between Normal and Drive modes and can deliver sparkling performance or vintage-style breakup. Channel Two offers Normal and Tight modes to control its mid-gain voice. Rock 'n' roll players will love this channel. And Channel Three also utilizes Normal and Tight modes to deliver classic Mesa Boogie high-gain drive.
LEGENDARY MESA QUALITY
Around here at N E W T O N E M U S I C , the MESA/Engineering® name is synonymous with high-quality construction. As in the Triple Crown™ TC-50™ 50watt Guitar Amp Head, all their amplifiers are constructed with only the finest materials, with special attention being paid to durability. In this vein, the TC-50™ features an all-aluminium chassis, a 6-Button Footswitch that will handle years of abuse, and tight-fitting cabinet construction that is rugged and throws your tone to the back of the house.
BUILT-IN CABCLONE™
The Triple Crown™ TC-50™ Guitar Amp packs a built-in CabClone™ internal amp load and speaker simulator. It provides an incredibly realistic speaker-emulated direct output to plug right into the sound system or recording chain. You can still use it in conjunction with the amp's internal Celestion® Vintage V30 speaker, or you can disengage the speaker for silent practice through headphones or recording. It'll also allow you to cut down on stage volume, which will help give your band a tighter, more controlled live sound.

MESA/Engineering® HISTORY
MESA/Boogie® (also known as MESA/Engineering®) is an American company in Petaluma, California USA, that manufactures music instrument amplifiers for guitars and basses. It has been in operation since 1969.
MESA was started by Randall Smith as a small repair shop which modified Fender® amplifiers, particularly the diminutive Fender® Princeton. Smith's modifications gave the small amps much more input gain, making them much louder as well as creating a high-gain, distorted guitar tone. Prominent early customers included Carlos Santana, and Ron Wood and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. Exposure from these top players helped to establish Mesa/Boogie's position on the market, and it is frequently referred to as the first manufacturer of the boutique amplifiers.
Founder, Randall Smith Early Life
Randall Smith was born into a musical family in Berkeley, California in 1946. His mother and sister played piano and his father was the first-chair clarinet with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra, played tenor sax, had a radio show and led a hotel dance band. Smith believes all of his early musical experiences taught him how to hear tone.
As a young Boy Scout, Smith was interested in earning a merit badge in woodcarving. Stan Stillson, the Boy Scout leader became a mentor. Smith and Stan’s son, Dave, were close in age. They became great friends and built ham radios together. Smith’s father had a good friend, Ernie, who built hi-fi turntables and gave him a couple to experiment on until he was 11 or 12.
He attended Miramonte High in Orinda, CA and graduated in 1964. His freshman year he attended UC Santa Barbara, as his parents wanted him removed from the influences of Berkeley (20 minutes from Orinda). However, he would hop freight trains nearly every weekend from Santa Barbara to the Bay Area to see friends and return to the Beat coffee houses and bookstores of Berkeley. The next four years he attended UC Berkeley studying humanities, English Literature and "invitation only" creative writing courses where he mostly wrote accounts of riding the rails with various hobos, but never quite graduated. Most interesting is that he never once took an electronics course in high school or university. His first major electronics was scratch-building Ham Radio transmitter using 6146 power tube. At only around 60 watts, the signal reached Alaska and most of the US.
Prune Music Store
Smith wanted to participate in the burgeoning San Francisco music scene, having been taught clarinet and a little sax by his father, but he took up drums, as it was the easiest to learn quickly. He played with a local blues and jam band and co-founded the band Martha's Laundry, which later morphed into Prune Music store, with keyboardist Dave Kessner. They opened the store in 1967 inside a building that had been a Chinese grocery store. He worked as a repair tech in the back while Dave ran the front of the store. Offshoots of Prune Music continue in Berkeley to this day with Subway Guitars, Sam Cohen (aka Fat Dog) and Guitar Resurrection in Austin, TX with former Martha's Laundry guitarist, Jim Lehman (aka Lizard Slim). They were partners until 1975. Their store never generated a huge profit, but it became best alternative music store in the hippie scene.
"This Thing Boogies"
Mesa/Boogie began with a practical joke: he borrowed a Fender® Princeton (a small 12-watt amplifier) from his friend, Barry Melton of Country Joe & The Fish, and hot-rodded it by replacing the amplifier section with that of a Fender® Bassman and installing a 12-inch speaker instead of the original 10-inch. The resulting amplifier proved to be loud and successful, and Smith made more than 200 of these Princeton "Boogies"—a name allegedly provided by Carlos Santana, who is to have exclaimed "This thing boogies!"
MESA/Engineering®
The MESA name came about through Smith's other job, rebuilding Mercedes engines. Smith decided to set up MESA/Engineering® so he could purchase wholesale parts for amps and engines. He needed an official sounding name through which to buy Mercedes parts and building supplies, and chose MESA/Engineering®. As the demand for his amps grew, Randall decided it would be best to move his workshop out of the storefront to get away from the distractions. He relocated to what was formerly a plywood dog kennel, then, eventually, to his home.

THE MESA/Engineering® MESA/Boogie® STORY
Excellence - Living The Code
The story of MESA/Boogie® is an American story. It’s a musical story and a human-interest story, roots to world-renown. It’s based on simple, basic principles that never change or go out of style. It’s a story of doing the right thing, of not taking shortcuts and of never giving up until you achieve, in earnest, what you set out to do. It involves vision, passion, drive, honesty, wisdom, perseverance, trust and the ever-empirical approach of less talk and more action. Undersell and exceed expectations.
It’s a story of treating people with respect, even when it’s not profitable. It’s the story of one man’s vision inspiring two generations of contributors who have both followed and guided their mentor to a place that eclipsed where any could have taken it alone. It’s the tale of a small business owner that never sold out, despite many enticing offers, in favour of keeping it real and continuing to innovate. It’s the story of a worldwide family of fiercely proud devotees with unwavering loyalty.
The story of MESA/Boogie® represents different things to different people; many sounds for many styles, many solutions for many needs, many roads to what we all seek . . . inspiration. Yet perhaps one phrase–one concept more than any other–best captures the essence of MESA/Boogie®; The Relentless Pursuit Of Excellence.
As sunset fell on the ‘60s, the San Francisco music scene was literally exploding. Great musicians from all styles were mixing it up in this counter-culture epicentre where fans of all ages were ripe for the picking and young musical explorers were becoming pop icons overnight.
At the centre of all this new music was electric guitar. As a vehicle for expression, no other instrument offered the versatility, sonic power, and of course sex appeal, of the electric guitar. And while it was recognized as both a rhythm and lead instrument, a twist of fate found drummer and saxophonist Randall Smith preoccupied with the solo potential of the Bay Area’s six-string darling.
While a musical revolution was raging across the Golden Gate, simultaneously in Marin’s Rock Star-studded hamlet of Mill Valley and redwood-thick haven of Lagunitas, young Randall Smith was doing some serious sonic pioneering. With a rich musical background and a love for tube-based electronics, Smith was working diligently toward a high gain revolution of his own in guitar amplifiers.
Even as he was working for the Bay Area’s biggest stars doing amp repairs, behind the scenes Smith was developing a totally new “cascading” tube pre-amp circuit squeezed into in a compact high power combo amplifier that would change the way guitarists would sound–and play–forever more.
Often using his noteworthy clients as test pilots, one day he had a breakthrough while helping Country Joe & The Fish guitarist Barry Melton. He quickly went home, perfected the idea, and called upon local hero Carlos Santana to plug in and give it a spin. After riding a wave of inspiration for long enough to gather a substantial crowd that afternoon in Mill Valley outside Prune Music’s front window where they met for the maiden voyage, Carlos stopped playing and proclaimed, “Man, this thing really Boogies”! It was a defining moment for the future of electric guitar sounds.
The game-changing little high gain Boogie® would go on to have a huge impact on the music of the ‘70s as guitarists finally had the ability to hold notes indefinitely with their newfound sustain. At the dawn of a new decade, another landmark feature in guitar amplification came out of the Lagunitas shop with the introduction of the world’s first channel switching amplifier in 1980, the MARK II®.
Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s a score of additional innovative and patented improvements saw MESA/Engineering® emerge as the leader in tube amplifier technology. But none of these vital, now-commonplace improvements sparked the kind of attention MESA received in 1991, when high gain was re-defined once more with the birth of the MESA/Boogie® Dual Rectifier® Solo Head, which commanded the Rock airwaves for the next 15 years.
NOW...
Forty-five years and thousands of satisfied customers later, MESA/Boogie® Ltd hand-builds the fifth generational offspring of that pivotal amplifier (and many more) now known around the globe as the MARK I Boogie®; the world’s first high gain, high power, compact 1x12 amplifier. That revolutionary little combo is the “missing link” in amp design... the pivotal nexus between Vintage and Modern guitar amplifiers. When it comes to amplified guitar, there’s really just two epochs… before Boogie®, and after Boogie®.
Today, 30 miles from the mountain shack where those first “Snakeskin” Boogies were born, we still hold true to the simple but increasingly rare principles Randy used to catapult MESA/Boogie® onto the world stage. Hand-building the very best instruments we can and treating each and every customer as we ourselves would wish to be treated has kept us there.
We are still privately owned–one of the last American music companies to be so–and have no profit-hungry investors cutting corners between you and your Tone. Every product we make is hand-built in our one and only shop in Petaluma, California and our artisans are tenured with an average of 15 years at their post, many for MUCH longer. We answer to no one except you and our own uncompromising ethical standards.
We are proud of our place in history as the original “Boutique” amplifier company, but recognize that we must still earn daily, our reputation as one of the most respected and prestigious brands in the musical instrument industry. So as you discover our historically important contributions to the art of amplifier design and journey through our vast product line, rest assured we continue to pioneer and improve–as we have from the start – the possibilities for your expression and our unparalleled Customer Service.
We‘d be honoured to be your amplifier company and welcome you to the worldwide family of MESA® players who have found inspiration and the confidence to reach new musical frontiers through our instruments. We have one goal and it’s deeply rewarding to us; to help you sound your very best and be a catalyst for you to achieve your musical dreams.

The EQ on MESA® amps is notoriously in-depth and the same can be said for the MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™. It heavily affects how your guitar sounds so you can really shape your guitar tone exactly how you want it. Each channel has 2 voices that are accessed by toggle switches on the front and this will allow you to tailor the amp to your sound.
The modern tube amp needs to have switched options so that it can be integrated into fairly intricate pedalboards. And because this amp is so versatile, it will easily fall into that category. It has midi in and thru and a fully buffered, tube effects loop.
The built-in CabClone™ also provides you with the ability to send out a DI signal to the front of house. The CabClone™ technology emulates the sound of a "mic"ed up guitar cab and so you can get a much more in-your-face guitar sound without worrying about a dodgy sound engineer live.
It also has a headphone and line output and you can change the cab emulation to be open back, closed back or vintage depending on your preferred genre of music.
DIAL IN YOUR FAVOURITE CLEAN TONES OR CHOOSE BIG, BOMBASTIC Boogie® SOUNDS
While navigating the lower-gain territory of channels one and two, you'll enjoy an array of classic and contemporary clean tones. Clean and fat modes add even more options. Once you've dialed in your ultimate clean sound, you can duplicate it in the other channel and modify it for single note applications, a more pushed version, or decide to switch to another mode for a radically different sound. Meanwhile, dedicated American blues and English rock sounds reside in the easily clip-able mid-gain realms of Tweed and Brit. These dynamic and incredibly expressive modes would make an amazing amplifier all by themselves, giving you a palette of tones that run from clean to crunchy. Channel three contains all the mind-altering iconic sounds of the legendary MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ and hand you the keys to the world of high gain - both retro and future. The raw, vintage, and modern modes cover the entire range of gain from a sweet clip to a liquid voice up to a crushing wall of tight grind and are duplicated in this channel. This functionality allows you to either find a favourite sound and dedicate the channels to slight differences or configure them for wildly different styles. The channels' duplicated modes are a powerful feature, making the MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ not just an amp for your current style or band, but a true lifelong companion to your music. This amp offers limitless configurations, keeping pace with your growth as your playing evolves.
MESA/Boogie®'s WARRANTY - THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!
Every new MESA/Boogie® amp is protected by their transferable warranty: 5-Years on the electronics, 3-Years for speakers, and 6-Months for tubes.

Here's what MESA® say about the
Triple Crown™ TC-50™
The Triple Crown owes its DNA to the “other side of MESA” that spawned Rock’s iconic Dual and Triple Rectifier series amps however, Randall Smith and his Mesa Engineering Team have raised the bar with a new platform that features a bold set of new circuits unlike anything they have ever built before.
The Portable MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ Guitar Amp Head stands only 9 5/8" tall and is 22 3/4" wide.
From bubbly, sparkling clean sounds, rarely heard in this type of amp, to an amazingly tight and aggressive wall of Rock Crunch, to one of our most vocal, harmonically rich and gain-laden high-gain channels ever, the Triple Crown™ is aimed at Rock’s high-gain throne! Experience a new generation of Rock Royalty – The Triple Crown™ TC-50™!
YOUR CHOICE OF PUNCH. EL34, 6L6, OR 6V6 POWER
Need versatility? The TC-50™ features our handy BIAS SWITCH allowing you to swap the stock compliment of EL34s with the fatter, rounder sounding 6L6. For those who want a warmer, rounder response and more easily attainable power clip, 6V6s can also be used in the EL34 setting with a direct swap over, creating a “Half-Power” scenario that exudes a more bubbly, vintage voice and creamier top end harmonic content.
Bias Select Switch gives you the power to choose EL34, 6L6 or 6V6 Power Tubes.
The MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown TC-50® is the most fun a guitarist can have on four wheels! This all-tube thoroughbred is far more modern compared to something like the Dual Rec®. Everyone that plugs into the Triple Crown™ TC-50™ is blown away by the tone.
LUSH REVERB, MIDI, DI WITH CAB SIMULATION AND MORE
The Triple Crown™ TC-50™ is MIDI capable with up to 256 Programmable Presets
Our legendary lush all-tube Reverb drenches the TC-50™’s three Channels with a beautiful 3-D halo and provides you with assignable choices on where to use it for the best results. Additional features include MIDI for true connectivity and several ways to access the amazing sounds and pro features in the TC-50™. A STORE toggle switch allows simple one-touch writing of your footswitchable functions to any of 256 MIDI Program Numbers. There is also a MIDI Channel mini Rotary Selector for syncing of the MIDI Channel to be used by your controller of choice.
The CabClone™ D.I., is featured as a convenient live or recording interface for direct input to a live or recording console (mixing board) without the need for a mic and you’ll find the full complement of voicing options have been included; CLOSED BACK, OPEN BACK and VINTAGE, for increased versatility and different sound styles.

This is what GuitarPlayer Magazine had to say about the
MESA/Boogie® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ amplifier:
“Factor in its MIDI capabilities, and the TC-50™ is an insanely flexible amp that will enable you to get your rock on whether your tone tastes lean toward Andy Summers, Angus Young, or Alexi Laiho. Between its sparkling cleans and furious overdrive, there are plenty of great sounds in this amp that can fill the bill for blues, jazz, country, and a whole lot else. Typical of all Mesa amplifiers, the TC-50™ provides a tremendous amount of bang for the buckage and is a must-play if you’re looking for a single-amp solution for everything you do.”
This may not be your first guitar amp, but it may well be your last.
LOADED WITH GUITARIST - FRIENDLY FEATURES
Not only is the MESA/Engineering® Triple Crown™ TC-50™ 50watt All-Tube Guitar Amp Head a fantastic-sounding amplifier, but it boasts a bevy of features that every guitarist will find beneficial. The true spring reverb tank is footswitchable, along with the tube-buffered effects loop. The amp ships with EL-34 power tubes for British vibe, but a bias select switch enables the TC-50™ to run beautifully with either 6V6 or 6L6 power tubes as well. And the combo amp is also MIDI ready, enabling it to integrate into even the most advanced guitar rigs.
THREE WIDE – RANGING CHANNELS
Though the Triple Crown™'s three channels feature a straightforward design, that doesn't make them any less versatile and powerful than other MESA® designs. Channel One's toggle switch selects between Normal and Drive modes and can deliver sparkling performance or vintage-style breakup. Channel Two offers Normal and Tight modes to control its mid-gain voice. Rock 'n' roll players will love this channel. And Channel Three also utilizes Normal and Tight modes to deliver classic Mesa Boogie high-gain drive.
LEGENDARY MESA QUALITY
Around here at N E W T O N E M U S I C , the MESA/Engineering® name is synonymous with high-quality construction. As in the Triple Crown™ TC-50™ 50watt Guitar Amp Head, all their amplifiers are constructed with only the finest materials, with special attention being paid to durability. In this vein, the TC-50™ features an all-aluminium chassis, a 6-Button Footswitch that will handle years of abuse, and tight-fitting cabinet construction that is rugged and throws your tone to the back of the house.
BUILT-IN CABCLONE™
The Triple Crown™ TC-50™ Guitar Amp packs a built-in CabClone™ internal amp load and speaker simulator. It provides an incredibly realistic speaker-emulated direct output to plug right into the sound system or recording chain. You can still use it in conjunction with the amp's internal Celestion® Vintage V30 speaker, or you can disengage the speaker for silent practice through headphones or recording. It'll also allow you to cut down on stage volume, which will help give your band a tighter, more controlled live sound.

MESA/Engineering® HISTORY
MESA/Boogie® (also known as MESA/Engineering®) is an American company in Petaluma, California USA, that manufactures music instrument amplifiers for guitars and basses. It has been in operation since 1969.
MESA was started by Randall Smith as a small repair shop which modified Fender® amplifiers, particularly the diminutive Fender® Princeton. Smith's modifications gave the small amps much more input gain, making them much louder as well as creating a high-gain, distorted guitar tone. Prominent early customers included Carlos Santana, and Ron Wood and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. Exposure from these top players helped to establish Mesa/Boogie's position on the market, and it is frequently referred to as the first manufacturer of the boutique amplifiers.
Founder, Randall Smith Early Life
Randall Smith was born into a musical family in Berkeley, California in 1946. His mother and sister played piano and his father was the first-chair clarinet with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra, played tenor sax, had a radio show and led a hotel dance band. Smith believes all of his early musical experiences taught him how to hear tone.
As a young Boy Scout, Smith was interested in earning a merit badge in woodcarving. Stan Stillson, the Boy Scout leader became a mentor. Smith and Stan’s son, Dave, were close in age. They became great friends and built ham radios together. Smith’s father had a good friend, Ernie, who built hi-fi turntables and gave him a couple to experiment on until he was 11 or 12.
He attended Miramonte High in Orinda, CA and graduated in 1964. His freshman year he attended UC Santa Barbara, as his parents wanted him removed from the influences of Berkeley (20 minutes from Orinda). However, he would hop freight trains nearly every weekend from Santa Barbara to the Bay Area to see friends and return to the Beat coffee houses and bookstores of Berkeley. The next four years he attended UC Berkeley studying humanities, English Literature and "invitation only" creative writing courses where he mostly wrote accounts of riding the rails with various hobos, but never quite graduated. Most interesting is that he never once took an electronics course in high school or university. His first major electronics was scratch-building Ham Radio transmitter using 6146 power tube. At only around 60 watts, the signal reached Alaska and most of the US.
Prune Music Store
Smith wanted to participate in the burgeoning San Francisco music scene, having been taught clarinet and a little sax by his father, but he took up drums, as it was the easiest to learn quickly. He played with a local blues and jam band and co-founded the band Martha's Laundry, which later morphed into Prune Music store, with keyboardist Dave Kessner. They opened the store in 1967 inside a building that had been a Chinese grocery store. He worked as a repair tech in the back while Dave ran the front of the store. Offshoots of Prune Music continue in Berkeley to this day with Subway Guitars, Sam Cohen (aka Fat Dog) and Guitar Resurrection in Austin, TX with former Martha's Laundry guitarist, Jim Lehman (aka Lizard Slim). They were partners until 1975. Their store never generated a huge profit, but it became best alternative music store in the hippie scene.
"This Thing Boogies"
Mesa/Boogie began with a practical joke: he borrowed a Fender® Princeton (a small 12-watt amplifier) from his friend, Barry Melton of Country Joe & The Fish, and hot-rodded it by replacing the amplifier section with that of a Fender® Bassman and installing a 12-inch speaker instead of the original 10-inch. The resulting amplifier proved to be loud and successful, and Smith made more than 200 of these Princeton "Boogies"—a name allegedly provided by Carlos Santana, who is to have exclaimed "This thing boogies!"
MESA/Engineering®
The MESA name came about through Smith's other job, rebuilding Mercedes engines. Smith decided to set up MESA/Engineering® so he could purchase wholesale parts for amps and engines. He needed an official sounding name through which to buy Mercedes parts and building supplies, and chose MESA/Engineering®. As the demand for his amps grew, Randall decided it would be best to move his workshop out of the storefront to get away from the distractions. He relocated to what was formerly a plywood dog kennel, then, eventually, to his home.

THE MESA/Engineering® MESA/Boogie® STORY
Excellence - Living The Code
The story of MESA/Boogie® is an American story. It’s a musical story and a human-interest story, roots to world-renown. It’s based on simple, basic principles that never change or go out of style. It’s a story of doing the right thing, of not taking shortcuts and of never giving up until you achieve, in earnest, what you set out to do. It involves vision, passion, drive, honesty, wisdom, perseverance, trust and the ever-empirical approach of less talk and more action. Undersell and exceed expectations.
It’s a story of treating people with respect, even when it’s not profitable. It’s the story of one man’s vision inspiring two generations of contributors who have both followed and guided their mentor to a place that eclipsed where any could have taken it alone. It’s the tale of a small business owner that never sold out, despite many enticing offers, in favour of keeping it real and continuing to innovate. It’s the story of a worldwide family of fiercely proud devotees with unwavering loyalty.
The story of MESA/Boogie® represents different things to different people; many sounds for many styles, many solutions for many needs, many roads to what we all seek . . . inspiration. Yet perhaps one phrase–one concept more than any other–best captures the essence of MESA/Boogie®; The Relentless Pursuit Of Excellence.
As sunset fell on the ‘60s, the San Francisco music scene was literally exploding. Great musicians from all styles were mixing it up in this counter-culture epicentre where fans of all ages were ripe for the picking and young musical explorers were becoming pop icons overnight.
At the centre of all this new music was electric guitar. As a vehicle for expression, no other instrument offered the versatility, sonic power, and of course sex appeal, of the electric guitar. And while it was recognized as both a rhythm and lead instrument, a twist of fate found drummer and saxophonist Randall Smith preoccupied with the solo potential of the Bay Area’s six-string darling.
While a musical revolution was raging across the Golden Gate, simultaneously in Marin’s Rock Star-studded hamlet of Mill Valley and redwood-thick haven of Lagunitas, young Randall Smith was doing some serious sonic pioneering. With a rich musical background and a love for tube-based electronics, Smith was working diligently toward a high gain revolution of his own in guitar amplifiers.
Even as he was working for the Bay Area’s biggest stars doing amp repairs, behind the scenes Smith was developing a totally new “cascading” tube pre-amp circuit squeezed into in a compact high power combo amplifier that would change the way guitarists would sound–and play–forever more.
Often using his noteworthy clients as test pilots, one day he had a breakthrough while helping Country Joe & The Fish guitarist Barry Melton. He quickly went home, perfected the idea, and called upon local hero Carlos Santana to plug in and give it a spin. After riding a wave of inspiration for long enough to gather a substantial crowd that afternoon in Mill Valley outside Prune Music’s front window where they met for the maiden voyage, Carlos stopped playing and proclaimed, “Man, this thing really Boogies”! It was a defining moment for the future of electric guitar sounds.
The game-changing little high gain Boogie® would go on to have a huge impact on the music of the ‘70s as guitarists finally had the ability to hold notes indefinitely with their newfound sustain. At the dawn of a new decade, another landmark feature in guitar amplification came out of the Lagunitas shop with the introduction of the world’s first channel switching amplifier in 1980, the MARK II®.
Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s a score of additional innovative and patented improvements saw MESA/Engineering® emerge as the leader in tube amplifier technology. But none of these vital, now-commonplace improvements sparked the kind of attention MESA received in 1991, when high gain was re-defined once more with the birth of the MESA/Boogie® Dual Rectifier® Solo Head, which commanded the Rock airwaves for the next 15 years.
NOW...
Forty-five years and thousands of satisfied customers later, MESA/Boogie® Ltd hand-builds the fifth generational offspring of that pivotal amplifier (and many more) now known around the globe as the MARK I Boogie®; the world’s first high gain, high power, compact 1x12 amplifier. That revolutionary little combo is the “missing link” in amp design... the pivotal nexus between Vintage and Modern guitar amplifiers. When it comes to amplified guitar, there’s really just two epochs… before Boogie®, and after Boogie®.
Today, 30 miles from the mountain shack where those first “Snakeskin” Boogies were born, we still hold true to the simple but increasingly rare principles Randy used to catapult MESA/Boogie® onto the world stage. Hand-building the very best instruments we can and treating each and every customer as we ourselves would wish to be treated has kept us there.
We are still privately owned–one of the last American music companies to be so–and have no profit-hungry investors cutting corners between you and your Tone. Every product we make is hand-built in our one and only shop in Petaluma, California and our artisans are tenured with an average of 15 years at their post, many for MUCH longer. We answer to no one except you and our own uncompromising ethical standards.
We are proud of our place in history as the original “Boutique” amplifier company, but recognize that we must still earn daily, our reputation as one of the most respected and prestigious brands in the musical instrument industry. So as you discover our historically important contributions to the art of amplifier design and journey through our vast product line, rest assured we continue to pioneer and improve–as we have from the start – the possibilities for your expression and our unparalleled Customer Service.

We have one goal and it’s deeply rewarding to us; to help you sound your very best and be a catalyst for you to achieve your musical dreams.
