Super clean Mesa Boogie F30 combo amplifier manufactured in 2002 fitted with one of the most sought after speakers in the world: a JBL D120F from the 70's that used to equip a Fender amplifier (and is worth about €400 on its own).
- Handcrafted in Petaluma, California
- 30 Watts of patented Dyna-Watt™ power / 2xEL84 and 4x12AX7
- Fixed bias for consistent, maintenance-free performance
- 2 fully independent channels, 3 footswitchable sounds (Channel 1, 2 & 2 with contour)
- Independent Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Reverb and Master controls for each channel
- Pull Bright (Channel 1) Contour Switch (Channel 2)
- Long tank spring reverb
- Parallel FX loop w/ mix control
- Record / headphone output
- Silent record mute switch
- 3 button footswitch (Channel 1/2, Reverb & Contour)
The amp is in fantastic cosmetic shape and works beautifully, just like it should.
In a nutshell: excellent weight/size/power/sound ratio.
This amplifier is extremely versatile in terms of volume and tone: you can play at home, rehearsing, in a club, or on the biggest stages and deliver all kinds of sonorities; worst case scenario, there is a headphone output and a switch to mute the speaker.
Channel 1 offers very nice clean tones, with the possibility of "crunching" by setting the gain between 2 and 5 o'clock depending on the guitar's pickup output.
While Channel 2 (ideal for playing rhythm parts) offers huge amounts of gain, activating the "contour" option (ideal for playing lead parts) will ensure you cut through the mix by boosting the mids.
