Mesa rules! Thank you, Mr. Randall Smith!

Years and years ago when I was just getting to the point of needing a better amp because I was ready to play out, I asked my friend and mentor John Novik from Chicago... " how do you get that sound, that professional tone that stands out from the rest? " I would play him recordings of some of my favorites and say... " this tone!, how do you get this tone?" He simply said, get a boogie man! I did and I never looked back! There is nothing I found better than that Mesa tone. There are other great amps and I own some but that Mesa tone is by far superior and most of all inspirational as well as dependable . Save your money kids, get a Mesa and tell your story!

i don't want to sound like i'm over reacting but dammit i will say it, every time i listen or look at a video about the legacy of Mesa Engineering i shed tears in my eye, and when i saw this video of Randall Smith's journey to create Mesa Engineering, he's so humble, and filled with experience, i'm honored to own a mesa boogie mk v combo with mesa black shadow speaker just the last 2 months, i'm honored and proud, and it's a prestigious feeling when people who knows guitars deeply saying hey, nice boogie mann. even though i do have a marshall haze 15(rotting piece of garbage) and for sure marshalls are way more noticeable because of their popularity and everytime 15 yo's say marshall, i'm like there's a fucking boogie, are you fucking blind, mesa boogie isn't just a company, located in Petaluma california, it's a dream factory, a place where miracles were made, i love my boogie so much, and i'm sure that i will love my upcoming triple rectifier that i'm gonna get, (gotta save money first) Randall Smith, you are my inspiration, i hope someday i could learn to be humble just like you

i own the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and when Mesa says it's loud ,it is loud as fuck! Mesa will always be known for its hardwork!

Thank you so much for this!!! Great to see!

i bought my first mesa mark II in 1979....i used to play marshalls and then one day i was in dean markely music on el camino...and they had a mitchell pro 100...and said it was a boogie clone....i played it and bought it for $292....then one day i went to jam with a charlie lange at a house behind taco bell in campbell...and his friend had a really mark II....what a difference, i ordered one the next day from boogie....it was ready june 2...i drove up to lagunitas with the rest of the money....

First!! and let me say, THIS are the best amps around!!

I dreamed of owning a Mesa/Boogie. I bought a MKIII Simulclass in 1987. I still use it (dreams realised). Not the end.

Best story ever!

great story!

Fascinating.

very nice!!

the mark 1 dude...can't wait to get my kingsnake.

Awesome...now wheres part 2?

when is the second video gonna be up¿?

I love My Tremoverb combo,

Had no idea the founder of Mesa Boogie was a Boy Scout!!!

I love my Mark IV.

If only life was like that now. "Hey, let's set up a music shop!" "Fuck yeah!" Two months later... "Oh look, Carlos Santana and Jefferson Airplane are outside with their amps."

on the website

I have a friend who has an original MK I Hardwood Boogie he wants to sell. He Also has an extra Hardwood extension cab as well.
