MESA/Boogie TC-100™ Ch. 1 - Andy Timmons & Doug West - Clean Tones & Attenuator

[@marcushanton1553]

I purchased this exact rig (TC-100 & 2x12 Rectifier Compact Cabinet) in-person at the Mesa/Boogie Hollywood Store 5 days before this video was published. I am pleased that I chose well. This amp is a BLESSING and sounds incredible! Used in conjunction with George L instrument & Quantum speaker cables (Recommended by Mesa Boogie - Hollywood Store), I have a rig that can easily cover all grounds! This is the best amp that I have ever owned!!!

How can people not like this. There ears must be broken.

[@0001111000220]

I hope you guys get Andy to do this with the other channels as well - it sounded incredible!

[@neloramirezguitar]

Get Andy to demo the whole guitar line up of amps 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻. Full size Mark V should be next

[@BrenQ99]

If “no one can make it sound better” than Andy Timmons, and if I am not Andy Timmons, should I still buy one?

[@DCJayhawk57]

I have this amp. Clean channel is passable, but it's def not the level of a Fillmore or California Tweed. I have to roll off all the mids or it's far too warm to get glassy cleans. I never use the built in overdrive of the clean channel, but it does take pedals well. The gain channels are where it's at with this amp imo.

andy timmons noodling is like my 5th symphony

[@m.d.4949]

Hi , I would really like to have a "Clean" single channel Mesa Boogie amplifier! For now, I will go with Filmore 50 Combo (still waiting in Europe)! Nice presentation! All the best!

[@Allann882]

I don’t know why Petrucci has signature amp and Timmons still hasn’t one.... I think Timmons must have one.

[@dressedtosmellgood]

probably cause hes smart enough to know hell move on to something else eventually

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Maybe because other manufacturers drive pedals are a major part of his sound ?

[@jasong546]

I just got the 50, it’s awesome

[@mbgoode10]

Awesome...

[@helenboepple8572]

is he using a compressor ?....great tones!!

[@mesaboogie]

Hi Helen - no compression here - other than Andy's signature delay sounds, this is all just the amp. Thanks! :D

[@jamesgrobertson8024]

Delay or reverb is essential for these amps to bloom.

[@areskochendorfer2532]

How so

[@rezakhan8290]

el 34 or 6L6?

[@MrWolf5150]

Why is there a little light on the input jack of the guitar cable going into the amp ????

[@mesaboogie]

Hi MrWolf - the green light nearest the input jack is the channel LED that lights up when the Ch. 1/Clean channel is selected. There is also a Blue LED that lights up when Ch. 2 is slected, and a Red LED that lighhts when Ch. 3 is selected. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@alhemmings8554]

I live to find the money for one of these. The holy grail of EL34 tone in my head. Even using the cab I want. Any chance you could strongarm the suppliers in the UK to reduce the prices Mesa? I need both kidneys.

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

Is the attenuator reactive or resistive?

[@mesaboogie]

Hi OG - It's reactive attenuation. Thanks for watching. :)

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

@@mesaboogie Damn...my wife's gonna hate you...

[@happypathway5418]

What’s up with the swelling of the reverb decay?

[@lonnyhandwork422]

They are bringing the gain back up on the room mic so you can hear the talking too soon - it’s while the reverb is still trailing off. It’s not the amp itself but ya, really sounds distracting.

[@peterpigna9505]

Sono possessore di un amply rectoverb 25/10 non lo cambio con nessun altro amply al mondo.

[@riffinpeace6667]

the reverb in this amp is realy bad i use a boss rv 6 in the loop insted

[@josephturner9012]

It's just all the pedels.

[@sexdungeoninteriordesigner5045]

not how it works lawl

[@mrc2662]

It’s just not. I have this amp. It’s magnificent.

[@archive_video_surveillance]

Gain is shit!

[@mrc2662]

It really isn’t

[@Harrysound]

Not gonna lie, andys tone doesn’t sound great hear. Some really horrible spikes in the attack

[@frankschreuders5906]

Harrysound sure sounds different than his lonestar

[@saintmovies7735]

I agree this amp just does not sound good...Andy is a great player, but ugh the tone is not happening for me
