This increasingly sought-after early 1990s Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber+ 1x12 combo is a versatile, all-tube workhorse, often regarded as an accessible, stripped-dow" alternative to the Mark series, offering professional-grade high-gain performance in a portable package. Hand-built in Petaluma, California, this 2-channel, 50-watt powerhouse is driven by 6L6 power tubes and five 12AX7 preamp tubes, delivering a signature sound ranging from sparkling, high-headroom cleans to the thick, searing, creamy overdrive favored by 90s hard rock and metal acts.
The combo is characterized by its signature 12-inch Celestion Black Shadow (MC-90) speaker, and it features a footswitchable 5-band graphic EQ that allows for precise, "V-shaped" tone shaping. Known for its immense volume despite its compact footprint, the .50 Caliber+ features spring reverb, a Lead Master volume for high-gain channelling, and a gain pull-boost, providing a responsive and dynamic playing experience suitable for everything from blues to doom metal.
