Mesa Boogies are way too expensive, you can get better with Marshalls for way less. AVT275 amp by Marshall is a good choice. It's way better than what Mesa Boogie has to offer.

Believe me, but Mesa Boogie is worth buying. I had previously owned Marshall JCM 900 head and 4×12 cabinet.And now I own Mesa 2:50 power amp and Quad preamp, and it smokes any Marshall. With this I can produce any sound. Marshalls are too muddy, when you for example play em chord oh higher positions, notes just disappear after 2 sec, and it becomes muddy. But with Mesas, notes sound clear all the way. My 2:50 was 900$ and quad was 800$--but in europe(a lot expensiver than in USA) You can find one on E-Bay for around 400-450$ used---they don't make these wonderful preamps anymore. You can't go wrong with this...

I own a Mesa Boogie F-100 that I bought 1 year ago for $1200.  It simply has everything but you need a good cab to go with it.  I was told by some amp/cab technicians that I know that Mesa's are made to really (REALLY) work with Mesa cabs (esp. 4x12 recto cabs) so I went out and bought a Mesa 4x12 Recto Traditional slanted cab and it blow my f'n eardrums out.  It is pure delight!

Mesa: Good

Marshall: Bad

I hate Marshall's, they're too thin sounding and don;t have any variety.

Mesa's give you the freedom to create your own sound!

A wise man once told me, "you can make any guitar sound great through a good amp, but can't make a great guitar sound good through any amp..."

I think Mesa should use this slogan!

okay, ide first like to argue the statement above about how mesas suck and you should buy a Marshall AVT...???  AVT's are solid state, ive played on them and they will never have the class and quality of a tube amp, second, a mesa dual rectifier will rip an avts nuts off and lodge them in its nose...i would also like to say that mode fours arent that good so ide stop bragging about them...my top amps of choice, mesa dual rect...marshall jcm800...and peavey 5150II, thas just my opinion

Marshalls are great if you get the right one (like a Plexi), get a little lucky, and play it on 10. However, in my opinion, there is nothing better than the tone of a Boogie. The Mark series, especially the Mark IV, is the ultimate amp.

well i heard that mesas have a much beter crunch than marshalls and they can produce many different sounds. But what I have heard lately that the Bogner Uberschall head has such an original sound and its even better than a mesa with that boost of power and the gain and presence totally outdoes a marshall.

Bought a Mark III Coliseum 300, Simul-Class, the works, in '87 w/a 4x12 mesa w/removable individual back panels (2 Celestions + 2 EVM's) for about $2,700 as I recall. Have rarely played it because, well, life goes on. But, soon it's coming into active duty. And does this baby sing! Oh, yeah, I just ordered a Mark I Re-Issue, head and 1x12 3/4 cab, Imbuya, for nearly $2,500. It'll be keeping me and my III smooth company well into retirement, in my living room. They will be rocking with my little one someday, and the world had better look out as she rearranges their ears!!

my friends lets be honest... Marshall name has been known for its bestial sound with distorcion, used since the 60s by many of the greatest musicians around, the new mode four simply destroys any mesa boogie, that doesnt mean it sounds better, cleaner and so on, in the other hand besa boogie amps deserves respect as well, they poses the typical brutal distortion power, and nice clean tones... im gonna put it in simple words they cant be compared they depend in what u need, the boogies are expensier is you wanna spend the money go ahead marshall are kinda more affordable and they dont have nothing to envy each other. Each has its sound they are different buy the one you feel like its your sound. dont compare them.

First of all, i have to say that if anyone thinks that a marshall mode four has over 3000 watts, you're a complete idiot and should not be giving advice about professional quality amplifiers.  As for me, i've heard a few Mesa's and they kick total a$$!  Myself, i play a vintage Jackson tube amp that sounds a little like a mesa and alot better than any crate i've ever heard.

And just think... All of this from an 85 watt head... Oh and yea... your saying 3000 watts on yours? No way bro.

I am looking to buy a good guitar amplifier and Mesa Boogie sounds so appealing, mainly due to Carlos. The price I am ready to pay for it is not an issue. Since so many Mesa models were launched over time,I am wondering which one is the best money can buy. The criteria of selection:
1. sound (both clear and gain)
2. simplicity to set up tones
3. reliability
4. easiness to switch modes
5. robustness
6. cost of maintenance
etc.
Is anybody out there that already knows the answer? Your input would be greatly appreciated!

But when I had to get a new head and went to the mesa single rectifier for 1100 at a local music store, it seems things got way heavier. dropped down to drop d flat and drop c, and lost the rest of my hearing.

One thing you must know, is that mesa boogie produces twice the power as a marshall. 50 watt mesa equals 100 watt marshal. I own a mesa 50 cal. that is 18 years old and it still sounds and works better than any marshal. Mesa has a better range of sound and tone than your avg. marshal. And to the guy that thinks we all suck, you the sorry punk with a "crate amp" tell your mommy to buy you a real amp dude!

Okay, I just thought I'd defend Marshall here.

1.) Mesas are buzzy and don't have the kick in the face overdrive Marshall has.

2.) A Triple Rectifier is overpriced, a triple rectifier can tie a Marshall JCM900 in tone, but that's just raw sound from the amp, you slap a good Boss GT-4 effects processor on that Marshall JCM900 and it will beat any amp on the market.

3.) Mesa's tubes just don't sizzle like a Marshall's, so the overdrive is muddy the first 10 minutes you play, Marshall's tubes screach fire the entire time you play, and that is why it is a cleaner distortion, because it isn't luke-warm mush, it's hot burning distortion.

4.) A Marshall's mid and presence is superior to a Mesa's, a Mesa is focused on pure low end, which is also why it sounds like mush when you go past 50% distortion.

5.) Marshall is not dead, lots of metal bands STILL us Marshall; TOOL, Static-X, Rammstein,  
Nirvana (when Kurt was alive) are just a few examples.

Mesa Boogies are great amps, and so are marshalls. Its all about preference, one isn't better then the other. Although Mesa's have alot more tonal options and ways to tweak your sound and have more clarity to them, they work well for lead and rhythm guitar. I find Marshalls sound thick and kinda muddy, like a rhythm guitar amp, as opposed to the heavy sound of the mesa.

You guys have it real good. In Australia you pay $5200 for a triple, $4600 for a dual and $3400 for a single. Even with exchange rates it's double the price.

I played a Solo 50 through a 2x12 Recto cab and it blew me away. I'm going to buy it to replace a Marshall TSL100 which is ok, but very sloppy bottom end and very muddy highs. 50 W Mesa kills 100 W Marshall any day.
