Mesa/Boogie 100 owner manual Models 45, 55, Overview

Overview: (Continued)

Channel 1 switched to PUSHED reveals a much gainier region, perfect for all types of dirty chording or can be maxed for urgent high gain soloing.

Channel 2 may be switched down to MODERN to unleash a tighter, meaner nature that works great for crunch rhythm or searing solo sounds.

And Channel 3 can be switched down to VINTAGE where a more liquid, forgiving nature appears that when set low, can double as an amazing clean mode.

After the initial gratification of these classic sounds has left most players amazed, the years of discovery begin, for while these sounds are wonderful, they are, but a grain of sand in the vast untracked wilderness Nomad wanders.

POWER: While all Nomad pre-amps are the same, this by no means limits players as to a choice of a Nomad which will work best for their individual style or needs. By combining this power-packed, comprehensive collection of discreet channels with three different and distinct power section choices, there is a Nomad for any frontier.

The NOMAD 45: boasts forty-five watts of EL-84 magic with its harmonically rich layers of bubbly, bouncy tone and patented Dyna- Watt Power that enables this bantam weight amp to act like twice its rated wattage. This Nomad exists on two chassis’, the original Boogie short chassis that is available as a 1x12 combo or as a short head. The littlest Nomad definitely, but by no means the understudy, this compact dynamo may have the biggest personality of them all. The wider chassis accommodates a lightweight 2x12 combo, a 4x10 combo and a wider head for use with larger speaker enclosures. In these formats the Nomad 45 is unbelievably huge sounding and is capable of covering much larger venues than would normally be associated with amps of this power rating.
