A magnum opus of sound
The Mesa/Boogie Mark VII is the “magnum opus” of Randall Smith’s 50+ year career in visionary amplifier design. This model combines that knowledge, history, innovation and power into the simplest, most versatile and smallest 90-watt Mark series amplifier ever. The three-channel, nine- modes preamp , coupled with the legendary Simul-Class power section that offers three different characters across three watt ranges, creates a new mark in adaptability, soulful tube tone and magical feel that will appeal to any discerning listener will serve players well.
The long-awaited "Simul Seven" surpasses its predecessor, the Mesa/Boogie Mark Five , and the secret Mark Six prototype, and is the most powerful Boogie Mark model ever in cover of sound, flexibility, compact design and interfaces. This all-round sound machine delivers legendary Mark performance and adds two new sounds - the old but famous Mark II and a new modern high- gain mode full of character and attitude, aptly named Mesa/Boogie Mark VII.
The useful features of the Mark VII
Along with iconic features that put Boogies at the top of wish lists, such as integrated graphic EQ, lush reverb, a seamless effect loop and innovative power circuit, the Mark VII features the patented Mesa/Boogie CabClone IR™ DI Direct interface. With identical features and great-sounding IRs to the CabClone IR, this integrated version allows you to individually assign eight Rectifier and Boogie speakers per channel for an unmatched selection of high-quality sound combinations.
The Mesa/Boogie Mark VII is the next chapter in the Boogie Book of Tone, offering discerning players all-tube analog tone, soul and feel in a smaller, more compact yet more comprehensive package. With a focus on perfecting icons, reviving beloved classics and introducing new areas of modern high- gain technology while improving user interface and power across all media, the Mesa/Boogie Mark VII offers inspiration and freedom for all styles of music. This exceptional amplifier is available in head, 1x12 Combo and Rackmount head formats.

Die legendäre Mesa/Boogie Mark-Serie ist zurück! Die ursprünglichen Combo-Verstärker der Mark-Serie basierten auf dem berühmten Fender Princeton. Bereits bei Markteinführung des Mark I im Jahr 1971 erfreute sich der Amp großer Beliebtheit, weil er sowohl Vintage-Designelemente als auch moderne Technik vereinte und mit seinem hervorragenden Cleansound überzeugen konnte. Der Mark hat seit seiner Einführung zahlreiche Modifikationen spendiert bekommen und eine Entwicklung vollzogen, die unter Röhrenverstärkern einzigartig ist. Mit dem neusten Modell, dem Mark VII, ist das Ende dieser Entwicklung noch lange nicht erreicht.
Auf dem Fender Princeton aufbauend, hatte der Mark I einen unter Gitarristen hoch geschätzten Cleansound. Die zunehmende Nutzung von stärker verzerrten Lead-Sounds verlangten jedoch eine andere Technik, die sich auch den Bedingungen des Live-Betriebs anpassen musste. Randall Smith erreichte dies, indem er eine zweite Vorstufe in den Pre-Amp integrierte. Die erste Vorstufe kann die zweite Vorstufe so übersteuern, dass ein intensiver, verzerrter Klang bereits bei geringer Gesamtlautstärke entsteht.
Das Konzept ging auf: Von 1971 bis 1978 wurden 3.299 Verstärker des Typs Mark I produziert. Die Mesa Mark I-Verstärker gelten bei Gitarristen inzwischen als legendär. So spielt zum Beispiel Carlos Santana noch heute einen 1972er-Mark I, der seinen singenden Gitarrensound prägt. Der Mark I durchlebte bis zu seiner Ablösung 1978 durch den Mark II viele Modifikationen, beispielsweise hatten frühe Versionen keinen Reverb-Effekt, spätere besaßen einen grafischen Equalizer und eine schaltbare Leistungsreduzierung, einen Vorläufer der Multi-Watt™-Technologie.
Alle Mesa/Boogie Mark Verstärker bestehen aus hochwertigem Birkensperrholz werden in Petaluma, Kalifornien, hergestellt, wo sich seit jeher der Firmensitz befindet. Die Konstruktion ist sehr robust und langlebig, aber trotzdem extrem leicht, was die Mark-Verstärker zu einem idealen Begleiter auf Tour macht und für Gitarristen, die viel unterwegs sind, bestens geeignet ist. Ein absolutes Highlight ist natürlich auch der Kopfhörerausgang mit Speakerstummschaltung, den man bei Röhrenamps nur selten findet. Alle Combos sind darüber hinaus mit Celestion-Speakern ausgestattet.
In the late 1960s, Randall Smith, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most famous amplifier repairers, was inspired to build his own amplifier model after learning to appreciate the tweed circuits of the 1950s. He loved their organic sound, the effective controls , and the way the sound changed smoothly from clean to distortion and back again when the gain control was turned.
In order to advance with his own amplifier designs and concepts, he settled in Pentaluma, California in 1969 and worked on further developing his amplifier model.
The typical, heavily distorted sound of his Mesa/Boogie amplifier model was initially the result of an electrically incorrectly dimensioned preamplifier. The company's founder, Randall Smith, was unsure whether the pre-amp would have enough power to drive the amplifier , so he designed it with four double triodes, of which the first seven triodes are still used today to amplification the input signal.
Many years later , Mesa/Boogie has become one of the major global players in the market for high-quality guitar and bass amplifiers and is a leader in the development of modern amp designs and circuits. The American company also holds several patents on special features and circuits, such as Multi-Watt™, Dyna-Watt™ and the Mesa CabClone™ Cab Simulator, which you are sure to come across when browsing through our selection of Mesa/Boogie products become.
Of course, a manufacturer of such innovative and high-quality products has now also been able to gather a large fan base among professional musicians who are enthusiastic about Mesa/Boogie amps. The most famous users of Mesa/Boogie amps include the aforementioned Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Angus Young, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Adam Jones, Mark Tremonti and Dave Grohl. Of course, these are by no means all the famous Mesa/Boogie users and Mesa/Boogie also has a large and constantly growing fan base among studio musicians and hobby guitarists. Maybe you too will soon be part of the next generation of the Mesa/Boogie fan community?
