1981 MESA/Boogie Mark II-B

1×12” combo in a hardwood cabinet that appears to be padauk, and sporting the iconic Boogie wicker grille. This appears to have been factory-upgraded with a loop mod. We initially thought it was a Mark II-C+ conversion but this still has the RP-9A preamp board. Otherwise this is a pretty clean early example of a no-EQ Simul-Class Mark II, with a pair of 6L6s running in class AB and a pair of EL34s in class A for a total of 85 watts. In great cosmetic and electronic shape, the Jensen Jet neodymium speaker is obviously not original (although it sounds great) but the transformers, cabinet, grille, knobs, etc., are original. The fan is dated to 1983, and was possibly replaced when the loop mod was installed, and it comes with one footswitch. Freshly-serviced and sounds absolutely amazing. These old Boogie Mark-series amps were true works of electronic art and were built to last, and we don’t see them terribly often, as they were both limited-production and people tend to hang on to them. Made in Petaluma, California, USA. Local pickup only.
