This time is the el Mesa 84 to the power stage and we are on a Class A amp 30 watts of power according to Mesa, that is very powerful for use at home or on stage. But here we have little use in the home without making enemies in the vicinity. There is a small switch that selects the number of lamps used 4, 2 or 1 alone. This changes the range and power much just by playing harmonics.

Comprehensive in terms of connectivity, it's pro gear and as usual in mesa settings are super fine, we must seek to find the sounds, but it's not that complicated, the record is particularly explicit for English speakers . A reverb that for once in boogie is excellent ...

UTILIZATION

It is not plug and play. The reverb settings are behind the amp, and there are many small switches to bypass the effects loop, change the sound of the reverb, more traditional settings, which are highly reactive and interact against each other , the gain and treble act on such other medium and low, the greater the less the others act up. In fact this type of amplifier is considered as an instrument in itself. But again nothing confusing just to experiment a bit and found what we seek. The manual is a model of gender as usual in mesa. And for once it can be transported without taking RV with his bone. Please note I did not say light, only more portable than rectoverb or other mark. I even caught the train, it said.

SOUNDS

By the end of his lecture is the slap in registers ranging from jazz to rock to blues, funk, reggae ke, and even hard in the register Queen or Aerosmith is in the box. It's absolutely sublime spell of the first agreement. Everything is there in the shade near the harmonic, the full, dynamic, singing treble, bass and mids on every floor, but nothing aggressive allucinant, you get lost in it so it's beautiful. This amp is a great success. On boosted channel, which are obtained atatques crunchent just what is and pushing a little gain, it becomes creamy, it looks like a violin, it's Eric Johnson, Brian May, of Santana, it's jazz fusion, bebop, where, depending on the guitar and especially the guitarist, but this can not hide behind effects or rough play. Everything is in its less subtle. In fact the sound is so beautiful, but at the same time demanding that the effects on this amp sound strange, as if they took away something that's yet I have the high end, well I use it not there but one small delay at times ... Everything is good with him there's nothing to throw. If the lamps. If you want to take the quintessence of this little monster Sovtek 12AX7 transfer the low end provided by boogie and replace them with a tung soil, Sovtek LPS, the Electro Harmonix finally lights that ring. For power is mounted Sovtek, and it is not so bad, but with JJ Tesla sings it well and even better ... then spend 100 euros more and your amp is amazing ...

OVERALL OPINION

Congratulations boogie, it's great. I have to complement a rectoverb for more modern sounds. And this is really great lonestar special, friendly, and more beautiful it is and with all those little buttons, the small fan, it looks like a machine from another age, engaging ... Finally it's still not a pretty girl attention, just something to make great music. A € 2400, slightly less if we discuss in good shops (and there are few), it's expensive yes, but to get the equivalent elsewhere, we will have to fork out even more in such Bogner and will more powerful, heavier, whereas here you have a great sound at hand ideal for studio, rehearsals and to have fun.
