[@floridapunkarchivist]

Greetings from Florida......I hope this is a true story because......well....I'm not a person or faith or religion but if I needed a God...Randall would be it.....this is coming from a dual rectifier rackmount owner.

[@getgetoutout]

Bought an eBay MESA Dual Rectifier head in 2007. UPS dropped it, broke every tube, cracked the case. Drove from Sacramento to the MESA factory to see what the damage was. Randall walks out, makes a comment about the non-MESA tubes and says call back in a week. I go to pick it up and he had gone through the entire amp, replaced almost every POT and charges me minimum shop labor. $50

[@blessed7fold]

@Sweetwater The interviewer couldn't have done a better job! Thanks for not interrupting Randall.

[@thomaspick4123]

blessed7fold Didn’t he do the large Randall amps besides Mesa Boogie amps? Randall and Marshall both copied Leo Fender’s circuit from the 4 x 10 Bassman. No copyright violations on patents?

[@blessed7fold]

@@thomaspick4123 Not that I know of. Fender was always the foundation of what Mesa built their line of amps off of.

[@anthonyc1883]

@@thomaspick4123 One must wonder if Leo even patented it. I've never seen mention of a patent to his early amp circuits in any of the voluminous Fender history articles and books that are out there. He took basics from the RCA tube manuals of the era. That doesn't diminish his genius at all, nor do I mean to say that modifications and innovations on top of already existing platforms cannot be patented, but I don't think he ever did.

[@THUNDERWORX]

Wonderful interview. I bought a Mesa Express some time back, and love the amp. Just looking at the switches and parts, it is clear that Mesa goes the extra mile to put out a quality product. Little things like the length of the cord on the foot switch being plenty long really mean a great deal to a guitarist. A lot of companies would have made the cord a third the length and would have made the pedal itself out of plastic. Great products, great sound.

I had to bring one of my amps up to Ross St. and they walked me around the shop while they worked on it. I asked if Randall Smith really thought up & designed all these MESA circuit boards, etc. The answer was, "Yes, he dreams this stuff at night. His garbage cans at home are full of wadded up rejected ideas." The man never stops thinking. Thank you, Randall Smith!

[@208414]

@@shekador Isn't the SLO a modified Marshall type circuit?

[@shekador]

@@208414 the SLO has about as much in common with a Marshall as a JCM800 has with a Fender Bassman. It's very much an original and unique design, regardless of what it started out as, and Randall is very much putting that typical Mesa marketing spin on it. Don't get me wrong, Mesa makes great amps, but the original rectifier is a complete copy of the SLO preamp. He's going out of his way here to sell a revision of the rectifier history.

I’ve been a Mesa user for years. I have the Mark V, Mark V:25, JP2C and Road King II. I will not use any other brand for the rest of my life. They are the most versatile amps around.

[@JohannesLabusch]

Great story teller, and thanks for letting him go. My personal impression of Boogie amps has always been "too finicky, too complicated, too expensive". That said, I will never forget one of those rare mojo moments, when I got to use a Lone Star Special with a good Strat, and it kind of blew me away.

[@Swampster70]

Every time I get a new Boogie I always think that I'll never need another amp... ... then another Mark Series comes out! While I sometimes miss that raw and stupidly loud tone from the old Mark IIC+ and Mark IV, I love my little Mark 5:25 for it's versatility and ability to sound great at home through a 2x12 and sound fantastic in a big practice room with a 4x12. It reminded me that the power section needs to be driven - driven hard like you stole it...

[@tns4421]

[@ericriggs501]

Good old American ingenuity! Take something good, and make it better!

[@Johngonefishin]

In the 70's I had a vintage guitar store and bought a 50's Fender Bassman from a hippie guy who said he got it in California. The amp had been recovered in an alligator type tolex, it had three 10" Altec speakers and an additional non Fender pre-amp box where the fourth speaker originally was and the pre-amp box had dymo tape on it that said Prune Music. The amp came in a black Anvil case that had plenty of travel/flight stickers on it. I called the Mesa office and offered to sell it to them, but the manager wouldn't let me talk to Randall and told me he was in the business of selling amps, not buying them, so I sold it later to a fan of the Jefferson Airplane. I'm assuming it was built by Randall during his time with Prune and possibly used by the Airplane.

[@taylorwyatt333]

Randall Smith, will you please make a 4 channel JP2C, channel one clean, channel two being something similar to the channel two of the Roadster, and then channels 3 and 4 would be the original channels 2 and 3 from the original JP2C, but in an all black rectifier housing, or something similar. The Mark series amps sound killer, but aesthetically it's kind of old school look that I'm not that fond of, but the JP2C is just such a killer amp. I own a dual rec roadster, and I love having that semi dirty clean channel in channel two because it's one less pedal I need to use to get that semi clean semi dirty tone, a la Alice In Chains, Soundgarden or any blues artist really. If you could put all that into a more modern looking all black dual rec amp box but still have all the bells and whistles of the JP2C with that added 4th channel, I think you'd have something pretty awesome, not that you don't already, but not all of us want our cleans to be either super clean or slightly dirty 100% of the time, and if I can get that flexibility through the amp as opposed to adding a pedal to my chain, making my pedal board even smaller, that's a win win.

[@SuperJiggawhat]

Randall Smith talked more in depth about how the name "Mesa" came to be in another interview. I will try to find the interview for you, but in that footage he speaks of a heat wave on the day he was getting his business license. He said he had to stand around all day in line with all these other people, in the unbearable heat. By the time he was second in place to talk to the lady behind the window, the guy in front of him stole his original name for the company. When it was his turn to get his license, he didn't have a name ready so the lady yelled "next!" He said "hold on" and came up with the "Mesa" name on the fly.

I'd like to hear Randall's take on the Rectifier's preamp being an almost carbon copy of Soldano's SLO. Mike Soldano has been quoted saying how dissappointed he was in Randall.

[@Bullittbl]

Ideas are easy when you let Mike Soldano design your pre amp

[@mendicantbias5211]

Wait huh????

[@Bullittbl]

The pre amp circuit in the rectifier is an EXACT copy of the Soldano SLO. The power section is different. There is no love lost between Mike And Randall.

[@GermanFafian]

@@Bullittbl Michael Soldano worked on modifying his version of the Bassman amp for years, until he bought a Mesa/Boogie Mark II and began modifying this amp. The first three SLO amps were based upon this amp and the first one was sold to a female friend. The second one was sold to Howard Leese from the band Heart. Within six months, he had sold amps to Steve Lukather, Michael Landau, Vivian Campbell, Aldo Nova, John Fogerty and Lou Reed. From The web

[@Bullittbl]

From Mike Soldano and Dave Friedman. Except that the SLO isn’t like early Mesa amps. The rectifier came after the SLO.

[@geetarplyr1]

[@TheSixfinger1]

My friend kept telling me, “ ya gotta get a Boogie” he said he’d tried one in London and it left everything else in the shade! All I could find round the music shops at the time were the usual amps, Fenders, Marshall’s, Peavey’s etc. Then one day I went to a trade show and they had the Boogie stand right opposite the Marshall stand. What an ideal opportunity! Marshall has just released the JMP 1 and the fifty fifty power blocks, very impressive! I went over to the Mesa stand and saw the Triaxis! I asked the guy if there was that much difference between that and the Marshall? He chuckled! First he went through all the Marshall style tones the Triaxis could do then all the Fender cleans and finally the Red channel! That was it! Nothing sounded like that! And with that much versatility? Then he explained how important it was to run all Boogie! Triaxis, 295/395 plus the cabs! The shock came when I asked the price! The JMP 1 was around £400/£500 if I remember correctly, the Triaxis alone was either £2200/£2400! This is not a joke, the first thing I did after selling the house was go out and buy the whole rig! And I’ve never regretted it! The first rig was stolen! Today I have a Triaxis Mk1 395 and 2x Mesa Half Backs! Nothing compares! I’ve tried them all over the years but nothing comes close to Boogie! Those big power amps have a 3D quality that no other amp has! And they sound awesome at any volume! Thank you Randall! You changed everything!
