Description

The Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ HRG Amplifier Head in Black is a legendary 100-watt tube amp that delivers bold authority, immense clean headroom, and a commanding lead voice. Revered for its tight-tracking low end and detailed clarity, the HRG model has been a favourite of virtuoso guitarists like John Petrucci throughout his career. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, vintage gain, or aggressive crunch tones, this amp offers a versatile and expressive platform that excels across a wide range of styles, particularly heavy rock and metal.

Built with one of the most expressive preamps ever created and a mighty power section, the Mark IIC+ HRG puts an exclamation point on the classic Boogie sound. It features a single channel with dual modes, a 5-band graphic EQ, reverb, and a tube-driven effects loop, all housed in a rugged steel chassis with fan cooling. The global half-power switch allows you to switch between 100 and 60 watts, providing flexibility for stage or studio use. This amplifier head is designed for players who demand total authority, knockout punch, and undeniable character from their tone.

With footswitchable functions including mode switching, EQ, and reverb, the Mark IIC+ HRG offers seamless control during performances. Its Class A/B power amp section is powered by four 6L6 tubes, complemented by five 12AX7 preamp tubes and a silicon diode rectifier for reliable response and dynamic feel. The HRG’s aggressive crunch rhythm tones and cascading high-gain lead voicing make it a timeless choice for players seeking both vintage character and modern power.

Expressive Preamp and Power Section

The heart of the Mark IIC+ HRG is its highly expressive preamp paired with a robust Class A/B power section. This combination delivers a wide dynamic range, from sparkling cleans to searing leads, allowing players to dial in their perfect tone with ease and precision.

Versatile Channel Modes

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.
