MESA/Boogie Fillmore 50 1×12″ 50W Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black

The MESA/Boogie Fillmore 50 combo amp has ’50s-style tweed tones, ’60s-style blackface overdrive, and saturated ’70s and ’80s arena-rock sounds. That covers a lot of ground. It features two independent channels with three overdrive levels. Add in a full/half-power switch, spring reverb and an effects loop, and this amp really does boogie. Available now at Guitar Center, the Fillmore 50 is ideal for players who want a vintage-voiced amp with modern sculpting capabilities.

MESA/Boogie Fillmore 50 Combo Main Features

• 50-watt, 2-channel tube amp with full/half-power switch, 3 drive levels
• Two 6L6 power tubes, five 12AX7 preamp tubes
• Tube-driven reverb, fully buffered series FX loop
• 12″, 8-ohm Celestion Custom 90 speaker

Versatile With Vintage Voices

Named after the iconic venues in New York and San Francisco, the Fillmore is full of classic sounds. It packs a pair of 6L6 tubes and 50 watts of output; a half-power switch lets you reduce the overall volume in smaller venues. Each channel has three gain stages. Clean mode produces chiming highs; you can also crank it for blackface-style breakup. Drive mode moves from clean to saturated while still retaining the top end. Hi mode maximizes sustain and compression—think ’70s crunch rhythms and ’80s leads, American-style.

Spring Reverb and FX Loop

The Fillmore 50 incorporates an all-tube, long-tank spring reverb with independent controls for each channel. It also has a fully buffered series effects loop for easy adjustment of send and return levels; you’ll also be able to mix the dry and effected signal without any worries of phase cancellation.

Custom Celestion Speaker

MESA/Boogie outfits the Fillmore 50 combo with a 12″ Celestion speaker made in the U.K. The Black Shadow Custom 90 has ample headroom with a smooth top end. Bass tones are tight and focused.

Solid Construction

MESA/Boogie builds the Fillmore combo to combat the rigors of the road. It is made of marine-grade Baltic birch and is fully tuned to accentuate the tone of the amp.

The MESA/Boogie Fillmore 50 comes with a slipcover and a one-button footswitch to change channels. A reverb footswitch and cable are available separately.
