The MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+ head is a faithful recreation of a legendary amplifier that shaped the sound of rock and metal in the 1980s and beyond. Known for its aggressive gain, dynamic response and exceptional versatility, the Mark IIC+ is back to inspire a new generation of players. This meticulously crafted amp head delivers the same iconic "Vintage Boogie" tone that defined countless classic recordings, now with modern enhancements for improved reliability and performance.

Dual Mode Versatility—Clean to Scream

The Mark IIC+ features MESA/Boogie's innovative "Dual Mode" design, offering two distinct preamp voicings in a single channel. Seamlessly switch between pristine clean tones and harmonically rich overdrive with the flick of a switch. Independent gain and volume controls allow you to fine-tune each mode, while shared tone controls and the 5-band graphic EQ provide extensive sound-shaping possibilities.

Power and Flexibility at Your Command

Choose between Simul-Class (75 watts) and Class A (25 watts) power with the flip of a switch. Experience the full-bodied punch and headroom of Simul-Class operation, or dial in the smooth, harmonically rich saturation of Class A power. This versatility allows you to tailor the amp's response to your playing style and desired tone.

Studio and Stage Ready

The Mark IIC+ head is equipped with a range of features that make it equally suited for studio recording and live performance. The built-in reactive load and Blackstar's CabRig technology provide stunning direct tones, while the series effects loop allows you to integrate your favorite pedals seamlessly. With its comprehensive connectivity options, including a slave output and multiple speaker outputs, the Mark IIC+ is ready for any situation.

Own a Piece of Guitar History

The Mark IIC+ is more than just an amplifier; it's a piece of guitar history. This iconic amp, out of production for four decades, has been meticulously recreated to capture the essence of the original while incorporating modern enhancements for improved reliability and performance.
