Mesa Boogie · amplifier
The Mesa Boogie Fillmore 100 1x12 Combo is the highest-powered member of the Fillmore line, a two-channel amplifier with late 1960s to early 1970s voicing delivering fat cleans through to Santana-style overdriven breakup. Both channels are identical in layout, each with three voicing modes called Clean, Drive and Hi, so either channel can be set anywhere across the amp's range. At around 100 watts it has far more clean headroom than the Fillmore 25 or 50, staying clear at stage volume, which makes it a strong pedal platform as well as a standalone amp. It suits blues, classic rock and roots players who need vintage voicing with genuine stage power.
