Chronicles of a Mesa Boogie Fillmore 50 combo

[Frodebro]

Then it's not technically "Tweed territory."

Sorry.

That was one of the things that Randy Smith and Doug West were talking about in one of the early demo videos, the fact that they tweaked the circuit to remove the fartsies.

Fillmore is great, though. Best Mesa Tweed is, no doubt, in the Cali Tweed amps. I could see me grabbing one of those someday.

I considered the Cali Tweed, but I liked the second channel and additional gain offered by the Fillmore.

That was what pushed me to the Fillmore as well.

Do you still have one? And which one is it, if you do?

I have the 50 combo. With the matching extension cab.

Very nice. I know it's against the very concept; but a less farty, splatty Tweed sounds

Congrats, @gearJunkie! LOOOVE the look of that combo!

I just picked up a Fillmore 100 head and it is an amazing amp. I think you're going to dig that one!

Yeah, I know about your Fillmore 100. It's your fault I started GAS'n for it.

Ah, now I see we were chatting in the Mesa thread about it. Nicely done! That combo is just looking.

I checked last night and delivery was scheduled for today.

I wake up this morning, check again, and see this ...

[gearJunkie]

I doubt it. tracking shows it is still 5 states away from me. I guess that I'll have time to get my pedalboard in order while I wait.

Ah man, that sucks!

 

[gearJunkie]

Ah man, that sucks!

At least there is an Origin Effects DCX Boost arriving today to distract my disappointment.

 

[gearJunkie]

Fillmore arriving tomorrow, but that's what they said two days ago.

Good news is that the DCX Boost arrived about an hour ago, so it should be a great evening.

How's it looking for today? Any "out for delivery" notices?

I'm scared to check.

The last few UPS deliveries I have received on-time never appeared as "out for delivery", so maybe today is the day.
