What's Hot
First things first, this amp is bloody lovely! The only reason I'm offering it for sale is I've been offered an option to buy something I've been coveting for quite some time so need to raise some funds. It's in mint condition and will be packaged in the original box.
£1700 PPG which includes shipping. Collection from the Exeter area is also possible.
Here's the Boogie demo:

Yeah, absolutely! It's kind of its DNA I guess.
These amps do look nice....
Surely you can either (a) just use one channel, or (b) set both channels up similarly, but with one boosted slightly in drive / volume / EQ as desired.
Just curious ...

@BintyTwanger77 I’ll compose a full response to your questions this evening
Tweed: push the mids, push the gain a bit, treble and bass to taste.
BF: drop the mids, up the bass and treble.
Both the tweed and blackface sounds are thoroughly convincing, and I come from having a LazyJ and Columbia Reverb as my reference points for both. There’s plenty of gain on tap, with the middle switch position aspiring to British flavours, with the far right position being more American.
How I liked to use it was to set the left side as a big, bouncy, blackface style clean, and the right hand side as a pedal platform (I used the Helix)... sounded great.
I was initially sceptical about the C90 speaker being an OEM inclusion in this amp and immediately tried it with Jensen and Creamback loaded cabs... and, the C90 won hands down, it’s a great match. MB have voiced this amp perfectly for the venerable C90.
I’ve had around a dozen Mesa’s and Boogie’s over the years and I reckon this is the best amp they’ve come out with in a good long while. I’d dearly love to keep it but doing so might initiate a bout of marital strife I could well do without.
