Instant Gratification | Mesa/Boogie F-30, F-50, F-100 instruction

OVERVIEW: (Continued) darker than that of its lower power family members but posses a depth and punch found only in amps of this serious-gigging horsepower range. Our legendary 60/100 switch has been included and allows you to detune the power section to achieve the brighter, more clippable feel of the F-Series.

F-Seriesamplifiers are crafted with the same custom quality, chassis, cabinet and tight tolerance parts found in our top of the line multi-channel amplifiers. They become the deal of the century by focusing on maximum performance derived from a more straightfor- ward layout that defines their stripped, business like personality. Yet make no mistake, these three over the top, footswitchable sounds stand proud against any amp at any price.

Features include 2 Channels which are divided into a separate Rhythm Channel (top) and a Two-Mode Lead Channel (bottom) which shares a set of Tone controls to produce the more vintage, warm sauce of Lead 1 and the huge, aggressive spread of Lead 2 Contour. Add to this a long tank, 3-spring, pure analog Reverb, a Parallel Effects Loop and a dedicated Recording Output and the F-Seriespreamp shines with old world luster as it delivers modern high gain performance.

All this preamp versatility is powered by feeding our dynamic dual differential driver first seen in our popular Strategy 400 Stereo power amp, which lends an explosive nature to the sound and gives the impression of headroom far beyond the rated wattage. We then send this super-buffed signal to the output section that responds to every nuance of your playing style.

All this performance is controlled via the included 3 button footswitch and this rounds out the package to achieve a performance minded instrument of ultimate expression. So before we get to the specific controls and features, take a spin around the world of tone found in the 3 Modes using the sample setting below as a guide.
