The Son of Boogie is Mesa's compact practice and small-venue amplifier, distilling the cascading gain character of the full-size Boogie into a lower-powered, more affordable package. It was designed for players who wanted authentic Mesa tone at home or in rehearsal rooms where a full-power amp would be impractical. Despite its modest output, it retains the note bloom, compression, and midrange focus that made the larger Boogies famous.
