Mesa/Boogie Unveils Line Of Guitar FX Pedals

Mesa Engineering, known throughout the music world for their ubiquitous Triple Rec amplifiers (seriously, those things are everywhere), have entered the guitar FX pedal world. The four models are, at the basic level, overdrive/distortion effects, including a clean boost, an overdrive, a more complex overdrive, and a full on high-gain distortion. Although there isn’t a mention of a release date, it seems that the pedals will be made available very soon. You can read more detailed descriptions of each pedal below.

Now, I know that they used to have V-Twin stompbox, but that was a preamp and was best used in a studio setting. Instead, these four pedal models are tailored to the strengths of the renowned Mesa/Boogie overdrive/distortion.

You can see video samples of the pedals on Mesa/Boogie’s website. READ MORE
