Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ HRG: A Dream Theater Legacy Revived
Mesa/Boogie has reintroduced the iconic Mark IIC+ HRG tube amplifier, a model famously used by John Petrucci of Dream Theater. This reissue, alongside the 1x12 Vintage Thiele Cabinet, harkens back to the company's roots, showcasing the craftsmanship of founder Randall Smith. The amp delivers 100 watts of power and features a built-in reverb, graphic EQ, and effects loop, making it highly versatile for various playing styles.
The Mark IIC+ HRG is celebrated for its impressive clean headroom and powerful lead voice, earning its place in heavy rock and metal, particularly within Dream Theater?s sound. It includes dedicated channels for Rhythm and Lead, powered by a combination of 6L6 and 12AX7 tubes, along with a global half-power switch for versatility. The accompanying Vintage Thiele Cabinet enhances its low-end response, making it a favorite among players seeking rich tone in a compact design. Both products are now available for order, marking a significant moment for fans of Dream Theater and guitar enthusiasts alike.
