Mesa Boogie MKII A Combo 1979

The Mesa/Boogie Mark II-A occupies a special place in amplifier history as the model that introduced the legendary Mark II platform. Built in 1979, this early example represents the beginning of a design that would shape countless boutique amplifiers in the decades that followed. Combining exceptional clean headroom with Mesa's innovative switchable lead circuit, the Mark II-A delivers an expressive playing experience that responds beautifully to every nuance of your touch. 

This particular amplifier is configured with several highly desirable factory options, including its original hardwood cabinet with dark stained finish, wicker cane grille cloth, factory spring reverb and the sought after 5 band Graphic EQ. Paired with the original Electro Voice EVM12L speaker, the amp offers remarkable clarity, enormous headroom and an impressively balanced response that faithfully translates every detail of your playing. The export transformer with multi voltage selector also makes it well suited for international use, while the switchable 60 and 100 watt power section adds further versatility.

Early Mark II-A amplifiers are encountered far less often than the later Mark IIB and Mark IIC models, making them an especially appealing find for collectors and players alike. This example remains an honest, original amplifier with the expected signs of age and use. The Electro Harmonix tubes have been replaced as part of normal maintenance, while preserving the original character that has made these early Mesa/Boogie amplifiers so highly respected for over 4 decades.
