Mesa/Boogie Heartbreaker Run Through
Просмотров 15 тыс.8 лет назад
A quick demo of my Mesa Heartbreaker for sale on Reverb and The Gear Page. This is an older Mesa amp that's been well taken care of. In this video I run through the channels and switches to demonstrate their functionality.

Just a quick clip of some silly noodling on my Orange OR15 with my Les Paul. 7 watts, all gain from the amp, Strymon El Capistan and Neunaber Seraphim in the FX loop.
Oooh boost 4:40
Cool. What type of cabinet is that?

I got an Avatar cab, best deal in cabs. Right up there in quality with the best of em
Is that a Russian tank parked to the right of the Mesa?
Sounds pretty good in this video. When I sold them at a store in the 90’s, it always seems it lacked that last step in top end and upper mids to really ring out and spank. Haven’t played one since then though. The combo we called the “Back Breaker”
6V6s are to be used with Tweed + Tube Rectifier EXCLUSIVELY. With 6L6s and EL34s you can use any configuration. Remember to always match the bias selector with tubes type. Same bias selector's position for 6L6 and 6V6; the other position for EL34.
Bias should be matched to tube type as pictured on the bias switch, yes. Per the manual, the rectifier can be used in either position with any tube.
What speakers are you running through please?
If I recall correctly, those were Scumback M75s.
@@steadleyaswego thanks, they sound great...a dude locally is selling a Mesa HeartBreaker head for $525, so had to ask
This is an awesome amp but very sensitive. Accept 3 different tube configurations and I have tried all of them. Took me a couple of years to figure this amp out. Tone knobs are sensitive and super important dialing in the sound you want. You really have to have an ear. I have the amp with 2x12's. The only downside is this amp is heavy.
I agree! The Weight!! But, It’s worth ! Señores.
No doubt on the weight. 80+ lbs. Probably 90 with the casters on. And one handle. I'm planning on selling my combo and cutting the weight in half with the MB California model.
Would you compare this to a deluxe reverb? Is there a lot of clean headroom? Is it loud enough for gigging?
Adrian Alcantar No, it’s more of a 5E3 tweed. The Classic Deluxe is in the Deluxe Reverb vein. It has decent clean headroom with single coils, breaks up quicker with humbuckers, but it cleans up well if you roll the guitar volume back. Definitely loud enough for gigging.
Ryan Steadley ohh I see. I’ve been looking at getting a classic deluxe but I see they released the cheaper Usa player series amps as well. Do you think there’s a big difference between the handwired and PCB versions?
I have not played the player series, but I can just about guarantee that you wouldn’t be able to hear a difference between a hand wired and PCB version in a blindfolded test. In a gig situation there’s zero chance that you or anyone else would notice a difference. If I were in the market for a new amp I’d definitely be looking at the player series.
what amp would this compare to in Mesa's catalogue today?
Can you do a few for the Helix>
I can, but I seriously doubt anything I put together would be better than what Pete Thorn has done.
Pete is the man!
did you end up selling it?
Yep
did you sell it somewhere in indiana
No idea, it's been a while.
ok, i bought one a while ago didn't know if it was this one.
