Mesa Boogie Stereo 2: Fifty Power Amp

Full Description

Stereo Power

The Mesa Boogie Stereo 2: Fifty power amp features two channels and 50 watts per side, giving you portable access to real valve tone for the studio or the stage. The 2U chassis is compact enough to take to any gig, while the 50 watts per side is the perfect volume level for small/medium gigs, rehearsals, and recording sessions. The twin channel power amp can be paried with any Mesa Boogie preamp and a pair of speakers to create a compact yet powerful stereo setup.

6L6 Power Tubes with Fixed Bias

The 6L6 power valves give the Stereo 2: Fifty a powerful and crisp sound with the ideal volume level for almost all gigging players. The amp features a fixed bias which provides easy, maintenance-free operation. A handy bias switch lets you swap in EL34 power valves in an instant without worrying about bias adjustments - perfect for changing the response from an American-style tone to a British-style sound, should you prefer.

12AX7 Preamp Valves

The Stereo 2: Fifty also features 3x 12AX7 preamp tubes which helps warm up your sound and gives a more complex tone with increased overtones. The active Presence circuits on each channel brings out the special harmonics that distinguish this as a guitar-specific power amp, and not simply a "hi-fi" power amp. The Presence control can help you cut through the mix with a bold, articulate and bright sound, or it can be used to round off the top-end for a warmer sound. This combination of power amp and preamp valves gives you the same, high-end amplifier response you'd expect from any Mesa Boogie amplifier, just in a compact 2U rack chassis. It is the perfect partnership for any Mesa Boogie preamp and speaker cabinet(s).
