It looks EXACTLY like an old Mesa, but it says Mesa/Boogie. I never saw one with those knobs & EQ combo post merger. What is it? It looks like the mesa pre-amp I used to have. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:07pm - GodlessRob ""] Really? Cool Thanks bro. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:08pm - GodlessRob ""] Pete it's a DC-5 |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:10pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I barely know my Mesa/Boogie history. I haven't liked the sound of anything they made after merging brands. That's why I'm curious. When was this made? Does it sound like the old Mesa amps? It LOOKS like a mesa with a new name badge on it. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:15pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Yeah, I'm wicked confused. Basically, i used to have something that looked like this: [img] But it just said "Mesa" on it, no Boogie. Sounded killer. More classic rock than metal, but with an overdrive in front it was creamy and warm and made awesome hardcore/chuggy tones. Doing an image search, I find lots of stuff that looks like it, but it either says "boogie" or "mesa boogie". So the preamp was made under both names? I'd love to find something like that preamp again. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:17pm - fishcakes ""] yah' it's an older head, it's 50 watts all tube and it is pretty bad ass! not as much gain as the triple but it cuts like a mofo...it has a verry shavy sound...good thrash amp. gonna use it in N.J. this weekend. |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:23pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] corpus_colostomy said: you have done a killer job of reading previous posts peter. Indeed, I have. However, if you talk about a DC-5 doesn't mean I know what head it is. I'm starting to think that I had a mesa/boogie, with a faded logo or something, because I find no history of mesa ever making anything that looked like that. That's the boogie amp look. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:33pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I think I figured it out. Mesa never made amps under the Mesa name, it's just what he used after Fender stopped supplying him with Princetons. They DID however make a few combo amps where the Preamp said "Mesa" and then the speaker box had the "Boogie" brand. I think my rackmound was actually the preamp section from a combo amp. It would make sense, because the kid I bought it from did the same thing to a Crate right afterward. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:40pm - blue ""] pete, what is all this 'merger' hubub you're talking about. All old mesa (pre 80s) had a 'boogie' badge on it. Mesa engineering was the amp modification end of them, and boogie was their amp making end of it. They decided to merge the names together at the end of the 80s/early 90s. The dc (dual caliber) series was created as a 'budget' amp to bridge the mark series and the rectos. The tone is more smoothed over and classic mesa sounding in comparison to the rectos with the added versatility of having the graphic eq, a signature trademark of mesa. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 1:48pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I say "merger" because I'd seen mesa/boogie, and seen boogie amps without the mesa bage. I assumed then that they also produced amps under the name "mesa" at one point, since I had that preamp which said "mesa". Bear with me. I know diddly shit about tube amps. I always will, because I can't afford em, and I don't like the sound of the ones I COULD afford. I'd take modeling over a $500 tube amp any day. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 4:15pm - Mike_K ""] Whatever I find. I know a dude with a 50CL+marshall 4x12, so I might do a deal with that. If he ends up ditching it, send him my way. haha. How much does he want for it? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 4:15pm - Joshtruction ""] I think he wants 1250. I will talk to him in a couple days and let you know. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 23,2008 4:19pm - Mike_K ""] Thatd be great. If hes willing to possibly trade the VHT+a couple hundred for my PB thatd be ever better. No one in the area (other than you guys) like boutique gear =/ my email is Destructospin07@yahoo.com |
| _______________________________ [Jun 23,2008 10:34pm - blue ""] a 50UL? had no clue they made them half power. |
