Mesa/Boogie has lifted the lid on a full series of new and revamped cabinet designs.
The firm reports that all the new Boogie cabinets will be built in its California facility from premium materials, including marine-grade Baltic birch plywood, UK-made Celestion speakers and coated jute grilles that (MESA insists) create a sweeter top-end response.
Among the new designs are two 10” speaker cabinets: a 2×10 and 4×10 – both of which feature open-back designs for a broad, vintage-style response. The full range includes…
1×10 Boogie 14 ($449)
This open back cab is aimed at traditional rock, blues and R&B-style players. It’s recommended as a pairing for smaller Mesa guitar amps, such as the Mark Five: 25.
1×10 Boogie 16 ($449)
This is based on the 14, but offers a more generous low end response and is said to pair well with the likes of the firm’s California Tweed amps.
1×12 Boogie Thiele Front Ported Cabinet ($549)
A compact closed-back build, the Thiele is all about offering some additional low-end thump and thud to your rig, whether it’s a combo or head and cab.
1×12 Boogie 19 ($529)
The ‘classic’ Boogie cab, initially created to partner with the 12” Mark I combo, it has become renowned for its versatility. As with the two cabs above, it’s an open-back build.
1×12 Boogie 23 ($499)
This is based on the Boogie 19 build, but offers a more expansive take on its tone, as such, it can play well with some of the heftier amps in the MB line-up, such as the Badlander and Triple Crown heads.
2×10 Boogie 23 ($529)
This 2×10” cab configuration uses Celestion G10 Creamback speakers (as opposed to the C90s in the 12” builds) and is said to play equally well with combos or standalone heads.
4×10 Boogie Open Back cabinet ($799)
This new 180-watt 4×10” configuration is reportedly more compact and lighter than previous offerings – shaving a couple of inches and a healthy 10 pounds off the Lone Star 4×10, for example.
