Welcome to the Boogie Files. As these pages have developed they have become part archive, manual and history book. A set of pages dedicated to the tone and creativity of MESA Engineering's famous Mark Series. These little giant killers, first introduced in the early seventies, have been the choice of most major top players. Made famous by Santana and boosted by The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Grateful Dead, very few if any stadiums, coliseums & concert halls haven't been assaulted by a Boogie. Currently the state of the art is the Mark IV which represents the culmination of 30 years of evolution and refinement. Click below on the Amp of your choice to read a little history, learn thechnical details and see some pictures. The page is in its infancy and will change often. Any comments or help is appreciated.

This page is a hybrid of history, manual and museum. I hope that you find it useful Any comments appreciated! 

This page would not have been possible without the help of Tim M., Mike B. and Tien L. at MESA , the MESA Engineering Manuals and Brochures and above all Randall Smith for one great idea after another.
