MESA/Boogie Fillmore 25™ Tone Quest with Quinten Hope & Doug West

[@jamesnelson1443]

Quinten is a spectacular player!!!!! Amazing amp

[@bareknuckles2u]

What's not to like about this? Such sweet tones and beautiful playing. One thumbs down already? Some negative people out there.

[@hgostos]

That's what some people do... I guess that in most cases it makes them feel important... :(

[@donharrold1375]

The thumbs down guy is probably looking for metalcore cr@p

[@BrenQ99]

God, this man’s playing is beautiful!

[@RoyDoolin]

Great demo. Great playing. I bought the 25 a few months ago in a head and 1x12 cab. My Mark IIB has just been sitting for a while. Can't get enough of this amp.

[@aaronduboise5277]

Finally played one of these and....WOW! Truly amazing! This has the perfect breakup/overdriven tone that I was looking for. And they're right, whatever you're feeling is what is going to come out of this amp.

[@leftyshep]

Some awesome catchy riffs from Quentin!! Loving the tones! Now gonna go jam on my 5:50+!! Thanks Quentin and Mesa!!!

[@AZFunk]

Sounds great. Love my Fillmore 50, usually run it in 25 watt mode so I can push the tubes a bit.

[@donharrold1375]

Strat sounds utterly gorgeous through that amp. Just got to get one!

[@GTRJohnny66]

Great job on the amp, and an amazing demo of its capabilities.

[@-Atmos1]

That Strat sounds amazing , interesting to hear a Telecaster .

[@kwantpaul]

Great demo, Quinten! Let the music and playing promote the awesome tone of this amp.

[@billharris7698]

Great demo, playing and breakdown, this is that all encompassing run through that we all need to evaluate an amps. We often can't actually get to play these amps before buying, so this helps with the decision of whether they may work for your needs. I'm a clean to mid hair Strat and Tele player. I have one of these combos headed my way and I think it will work in my studio and have THE feel that I need. I do love my Mark 5 25 combo which is also a sweet clean amp with single coils.

[@patrickfiore7067]

Wow. All in one, and each mode is killer! You rarely get this!!!

[@Jeffmyster15]

Wow the 25 sounds absolutely amazing 😮😃I need to find a local place that sells these .

[@kiddynamite7365]

Quinten is a great guy and monster player. Good to see him getting featured again!

[@florenciohendrrickshammu744]

Such a amazing sounding amp ✌🏼

[@aterix]

The sound in this, is incredible. Looks like the mics are: Royer R-121 ribbon mic, Heil PR30, Avantone ck40

[@LeMans512]

The Strat sounds are awesome.

[@JasonMcFly]

Tasty player. Gorgeous sounding amp

[@dpaul.guitars]

Love this amp and the tone, Quinten’s a great player too!

[@apophispnw5717]

These sound great but they almost lack a top end clean sparkle. I’m trying to decide between this amp and the Fillmore 50 and a deluxe reverb reissue ‘65. The deluxe are amazing, but I wouldn’t need to bring pedals to practice with this amp. Haha. I love the sound I wish some reviews would show the treble cranked up a bit more because I think it could probably do it.

[@LiorB73]

Amazing sounding amp, got mine today

[@johnk3195]

Makes my express 5:25 sound like a digital crate....The Fillmore, great amp with a killer player

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

Makes that Strat sound like an LP!

[@anthonygonzalez8684]

Now that's a sweet sounding combo amp.

[@lauraandrews8319]

Nice playing, and I'm getting the Fillmore 25 for sure.

[@mdallen5]

Excellent review and clinic! I'm a new fan of both of you

[@mattsb17]

I want this amp now !

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Fantastic player.

[@syaheer8689]

That sounds glorious! Holy shit

[@cliffdykes1171]

Good playing Quinton even smoking them stems

[@floraly88]

If I could play like Quinten, I'd just buy a Fillmore and be happy.

[@Hamerguy68]

That amp sounds fantastic. But I am happy with my Mark V:35 anyway. I don't have the chops like this player (who I am not familar with). I don't use typical Strat tones either. But this amp sounds great with a Strat. Great clip.

[@Supperconductor]

Great demo, loved the sound of this amp. Please get rid of the background track on videos like this, it's unnecessarily distracting.

[@johannesbar9354]

Do completely agree !

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

Mto top esse filmora. Timbre massa. Abraços e bends

[@NebulaStudios1]

Can you generate similar tones with the Mark V?

[@miguellopez106]

With the Mark V you have more modern type than true vintage feel with the Fillmore. But if you learn to use and explore enough the Mark V you can have a more complex collection of timbers you won't have in any other amp. C90 speaker in open cabs in pair or single for the clean, broken tones, crunch as well, but if you want to get more punchy tones you may need a proper cab closed back and greenback or creamback for a plexi feel and V30 UK made for modern overdrive/high gain sounds. Pairing proper guitar/pickups with proper DC resistance as well. Both mark and Fillmore can do this but matching all the ingredients as mentioned. Low dc pickups are honky and microphonic in a hard distortion set, the same as using pickups for distortion in a clean channel is too much, compressed and boomy(if that's what you want). Alnico II in a single cut axe with low/moderate dc resistance is awesome for crunch hard rock or classic rock. It's all about matching. I wanna try the Fillmore with 10 in Jensen or weber or warehouse speaker with a vintage alder strat laquered, or a swamp ash tele vintage as well in the Fillmore 25

[@NebulaStudios1]

Thank you. I have a mix of guitars with different pickups. Tom Anderson, Alembic Active, and Lollar Imperials. A Collings SoCo with Lollars, but these are different outputs than the regular Imperials.

[@bobs2809]

These fillmore amps sound very marshall jtm like to me. I probably need one.

[@christianwheeler8386]

I know the 50 is based on a bassman so...

[@bjarbsreviews]

Wonder how it would sound with a 10 inch

[@BillyPolaris]

Oh that's nice.

[@vernonhall6804]

My 65 Princeton Reverb Tweed reissue 1x12 combo is next to my Fillmore 25 1x12 combo. The Fender sounds bigger more open, Boogie sounds a little boxy but has lots more versatility. Both have a nice sparkly clean sound but the Fender is a bit sweeter. The boog has a great overdrive selection though. I wont sell either.

[@jpaw1325]

If you could only keep one, which would you choose? I’ve been considering both of those for a home amp.

[@AndreaPirlo2023]

Is it any written or video review on fillmore 25 ? I cant find it anywhere.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

you ever heard of google where u from?

[@AndreaPirlo2023]

Em B I have already googled it and only find reviews for filmore 50. Still could not find any written or video review for filmore 25 yet. Only testimony from forum etc. (Sorry about poor grammar).

[@JS-nf1sn]

Seems like a fairly perfect amp. Really cool. Great playing.

[@guitargathering4488]

Would appreciate the demo more with a Les Paul.

[@spyderlogan4992]

I have the Fillmore 100 Combo. The only way to go. 4 Glowing 6L6's...running at 100 setting all the time. If you want to go to 25/50 it's there, but why bother? You paid for POWER and baby it's got it. Well done Mesa...sell hundreds of them. Best Wishes. Ciao'

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

lol, cool

[@miguellopez106]

Hi Logan, I'm interested in the purchase of one of the Fillmore models, have you tried and compared the 25, 50 and 100 models? I can hear in the demos that the 25 is pure heaven in the clean territory, but lack of something in the crunch/drive tones, I've noticed kind of a boxy effect some musicians like. On the other hand, I've hard in the 100 model a bold big compressed saged not too articulated or crystal clear CLEAN but such an amazing big fat huge smashing crunch and drive tones for heavy hard rock chords, thick leads and legatto neck pickup singing solo sweet notes. So, what has been your experience in the clean 100w Fillmore soaking the power to get a more clear and articulated tone instead of a bold big 100 losen response? Is it possible to get a 25 feel like clean tone with the Fillmore 100 in low power rate? Thanks! Cheers.

[@pb12661]

@@miguellopez106 at 2am after a gig, and possibly a long day at work, I have no interest in carrying a 60lb.. amp in and out of a club, to my car, upstairs, around tight corners, etc. It's also way more powerful than 99 percent will ever need.

[@SuperHotrod4]

Cool, sounds just like my Blues Jr! Only difference is triple the cost!

Goodbye blues jr!

[@grahamjarman]

buy it mate

[@az8999]

Got the 50 last month. Solid build and incredible flexibility. Perfect for my classic rock band. The only thing I don't love about it is the long reverb trail. The reverb trail is just too insistent for my taste as it lingers long after notes or chords decay with no tonality. I noticed this in demos as well but still bought one because otherwise it sounds tremendous. That aside, I would recommend this amp to anyone seeking versatility and great sound.

[@shckltnebay]

You could get a shorter reverb tank

[@jesussavesrick]

He doesn’t use them. He uses Lonestar.

[@MADRE-GUY]

no video just aouns

[@ijamsum]

Lets see , if you run 2 - 6V6 tubes safely you can get 17-18 watts over that you risk blowing the tubes and transformer ! Tube data on 6V6 is about 12watts at max 450 volts , testing only ! Most all amps get 7-9 watts per 6v6 at 389 volts on the plates ! Exact same specs. for El84 tubes ! Just saying get real on wattage claims !

[@mranalog241]

The specs on the Mesa website say 18 watts clean, 23 watts max. So they agree with your math.

I have a 1983 Fender Princeton Reverb II thats sounds an awful lot like this....cost me $500

@@USNVA-yn6cp No way...Rivera built....like a tank, I have owned many Mesas , and guess what? they break once in a while too. I currently own a Mesa T A 15 head, killer amp. But for a grab and go amp the Princeton II is pretty sweet, all hand wired

Ridiculously overpriced and not available in UK / Europe. I'll pass. I like the Badlander but unless they open up and go to UK / Europe, and make it more cost of living friendly prices, it's overrated.

@@mesaboogie that's fair. Will believe it when it happens. It's just annoying when it seems crazy expensive for most hard working people even though the quality is there and yet it is not available outside of USA. I know I'l be after a Badlander when it does become available.

Boogies sound phenomenal but they are made with very cheap components. Most techs wont work on them because their circuits are messy.
