Let's face it: If you can't play Chuck Berry you can't play rock and roll.
It's just a word hoss, calm down! I've got a mark IIb and love it. The clean channel is amazing, esp with some Philips 7581's. Actually I've never been a fan of the word Boogie either...but I certainly didn't need to read Berry's rookie files! Again! :0
How bout 'Baron.' That's what they called a hi-fi amp they sold in the 90s. Beautiful amp, and a bargain, too. $3500, IIRC. I think it was Mesa's only venture into that market.
If I remember it was exactly the same amp as their bass power head with RCA connectors and a different faceplate. That would make sense actually.
I think whereas most Boogies used Schumacher transformers these used a Mercury Magnetics design, perhaps the famous VTO-100 that was a clone of a Radford part.
I hate the name too. And Mesa Boogie sounds like a bunch of native Americans, high on peyote, playing really bad R&B, on top of a mesa, somewhere in the southwest, probably transported there by space aliens with bad tastes in music. And sponsored by Budweiser.
