WHAT IS SWITCHTRACK?

SwitchTrack is like having two stereo power amps in one: Track 1 can be set for clean while Track 2 is set to enhance distortion. It's like having Channel-switching in your power amp - only more - because SwitchTrack is not limited to switching between clean response and distortion.

You can easily set it to switch between two different clean sounds. Or two different distortion sounds (one for crunch, another for lead) with different lows, highs, power levels and gain structures.

HERE'S HOW SWITCHTRACK WORKS:

Each of the stereo channels (labeled A and B) has two separate control Tracks: 1 and 2. (Think of them as recording "tracks" so they don't become confused with the stereo "channels").

Each Track has its own Level and Presence controls, so there are switchable settings for loudness and top-end. Plus, the tonal response of each Track can be shaped way differently by using the two small rocker switches:

DEEP EXTEND boosts the bass frequencies for a huge, tight low-end "chunk," and HALF DRIVE produces power amp distortion at greatly reduced volume levels, perfect for smaller rooms or recording.

Whether used separately or together, these tone shapers reconfigure the power amp's circuitry and dedicate it to profound distortion response. And when switched out, the world- famous clean power of this amp's predecessor is retained with all it’s shimmering detail and breath taking three-dimensionality.

Three-position rocker switches let you select whether each effect is "off" in both tracks (OUT), "on" in both tracks (1 & 2), or "switched" on automatically whenever Track 2 is called up (TRACK 2).

Virtually any switcher will work when plugged into the "Track Switching" jack on the rear. Our TriAxis™ MIDI Pre-amp even has programmable switching ports built in.

Whether a guitarist requires a gentle boost for solos or an all-out sonic assault for heavier styles, the amp can accommodate with ease. This feature makes the 395 a perfect option for session musicians and performers who must navigate various musical styles.

In terms of construction, the 395 features a rugged, tour-ready chassis that withstands the rigors of gigging. The all-tube design, utilizing power tubes that range between EL34 and 6L6 configurations, contributes to the warm and harmonically rich sound that Mesa/Boogie amplifiers are famous for. Additionally, the amp features a solid-state rectifier that enhances dynamic response and adds a punchy characteristic to the overall tone.

The 395 also includes a series effects loop that lets players integrate their favorite pedals into the signal chain without compromising the integrity of their tone. This is paired with a standard speaker output that gives the option to connect to various cabinets, further enhancing sound tailoring.

Moreover, the amp boasts a compact design that makes it suitable for both studio and stage use, appealing to guitarists who demand high performance without excessive bulk. The vintage aesthetic, combined with modern functionalities, creates a device that not only sounds great but looks fantastic as well.

In summary, the Mesa/Boogie 395 stands out with its ample tonal flexibility, high-quality construction, and innovative technology. It's an amplifier that meets the demands of today’s guitarists, whether for live performances, studio recordings, or personal practice sessions, delivering iconic sound and reliability that Mesa/Boogie is known for.
