Mesa/Boogie F-30 - Manual (Page 5)

OVERVIEW:
Congratulations on choosing the F Series as your amplifier and welcome to the Mesa/Boogie family! The new F Series amplifiers
combines high gain lead performance, an amazing mid-gain crunch or blues sound and a bold and beautiful clean sound in a simple
2 Channel, Three Mode, all-tube, hand-built package that begs to rock. This tidy format is available in three power versions, the F-30,
F-50 and F-100, and in both head and self-contained combo platforms.
The bright and bouncy F-30 with its 2xEL84 power string operating in our patented Dyna-Watt circuit is housed in the original
Boogie 1x12 size and powers the legendary Celestion Vintage 30. This is perfect as a super portable, lightweight and surprisingly
powerful combo. As a short head powering a 2x12 or 4x12, this little wolf in sheep’s clothing shows its fangs and becomes a viable gig
rig for mid size venues where its power clip can add a unique and dynamic personality. Like its forefathers, this little dynamo stays true
to the little giant-killer tradition that won the first Boogies worldwide acclaim 30 years ago.
The F-50 holds the title as middleweight champion of the line with its robust and balanced 2x6L6 power section and this rich, pristine
blend speaks from our popular Wide-Body 1x12 combo or head. The combo features our favorite custom designed, proprietary
Celestion C90 speaker and sounds twice its size as it envelopes you with its 3D magic, while the head through a big cab is absolutely
over the top with a tight top end snap and aggressive mid-power urgency.
The big daddy F-100 is the power broker of this clan with the undeniable authority of 4x6L6’s working for your tone. This big block bad
boy produces stunning clean headroom and can push some serious air in its 2x12 combo format featuring two Celestion Vintage 30’s
or, when punishment is required, the Long Chassis head pumping a 4x12…it’s the final word in loud. The voice is fatter and a little
