Mesa Boogie Formula Pre Rackmount Studio Guitar Preamp Epic Guitar Tones

Mesa Boogie Formula Pre Rackmount Studio Guitar Preamp - Epic Guitar Tones. Step into the studio with the Mesa Boogie Formula Pre, a piece of equipment that's as much about performance as it is about precision. Crafted in the tone-tradition of the Mesa Heartbreaker, the Formula Pre's Rhythm channel serves up a classic blackface sound with a sweet edge when pushed. But that's just the appetizer. Pull the Boost on the Gain control and you dive into heavier sonic territories, ripe for rock and beyond. And when it's time to lead, Channels 1 and 2 offer distinct high-gain flavors, sharing tone controls but allowing for an EQ auto-insert that makes Lead 2 stand out with its tight, authoritative character. As a rackmount unit, the Formula Pre is designed not just for the studio, but from its inception, for the stage. Its revolutionary recording circuit responds to your playing dynamics much like a power amp and speaker, capturing the essence and the feel-not just the sound-of a miked-up guitar cab. This is a preamp that doesn't just aim to replicate the sound of a great rig but to embody its soul, making it an essential "bolt-in" for any control room. Equipped with five 12AX7 tubes, three channels with independent Gain & Master Controls, and a 5 Band Graphic EQ, the Formula Pre is an alchemist's dream, turning even the simplest riffs into gold. Condition-wise, this unit is in excellent shape, showing signs of love and use with the utmost care, ready to plug in and inspire your next recording session. It's electronics have been meticulously cleaned, inside and out. There's not a crackle or a pop to be heard on this unit.

Boogie legacy right into your hands, whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or dialing in tones for a live set. It's a testament to Mesa's commitment to quality and tone, and a reminder that sometimes, the right gear can make all the difference. Any accessories included will be stated in the listing.
