Such an honor to have you join us for this, Gretchen. Your playing and styles were phenomenal examples of what the amp can do. And looking so forward to sharing more of the great stuff you did very soon! Amps go into production this coming week... :D
I've never owned an acoustic amp before.... but it's about to happen!! Still have my original Mesa Road King and 4x12 can't be beat. Your products simply deliver! Excited to try it!
This. Is. Awesome., Shiftgears! The cool thing about an acoustic amp - actually two things that are cool about acoustic amps... First - they make it more fun to play acoustic, partly because of the creativity with FX and tone shaping... but they also make it EASIER to play (when the tone and volume is lined up), which is sayiong a lot, especially for electric players going to heavier and stiffer guages common on acoustic. Hope you dig it and let us know what you think when you try it. And hope the Roadking is serving well! :D
Boogies are simply the best amps in the entire World. I bought a Stereo 2:50 for my rack rig, then I bought a Lone Star; and recently I bought a Mark V:35 which I'm still waiting for to receive it. Boogie's tone it's like a drug.
I've had a Marshall AS50R for quite some time and will likely stick with it because I don't play acoustic that much. But I'm sure the Rosette sounds fantastic. I've had a Mesa Boogie since 1982, and it sounds great no matter what guitar I plug in.
I'm going to agree with Luis. The possibilities of this with a violin, cello, bass, or viola are exciting. VERY much looking forward to those demos combined with the preamp, and anything you might choose as pickups for those instruments if they're not mic'd (or what pickups you might recommend for recording through a preamp into a computer while also playing through the amp, or just directly). Thank you for thinking of the acoustic world.
Thanks for the very kind words, Beach Dweller and we are excited to see how people will find uses for the Rosette in the world of acoustic amplification. While there are many acoustic amps out there, we are confident that the Rosette delivers a level of clarity and authentic amplification... rather than a 'voiced' representation of your acoustic signal. It's a big part of what we do in electric amplification already and was a natural progression into the acoustic world for us. Remaining true to what the instrument sounds like with a truthful representation of their instruments sound as a starting point and allow people to make frequency changes to their sound from there was the goal. There are lots of great pickup options out there these days and the major pickup companies who have had and developed acoustic instrument pickups for a long time have made leaps and bounds in the last few years. We'll likelly discuss some of this in an upcoming blog post soon as well as more videos with different instruments. Exciting times for acoustic music on so many levels. Thanks again for your interest and the kind words. :)
As fate would have it over the last few months I have been scouring the net looking for an acoustic guitar amp. My problem as always is, if I'm going to open my wallet for anything when I find the right tool (amp or guitar) as I use them to make money, I want to know I'm not going to have to do some cat and mouse game getting it worked on or even if I just have questions. I like face to face, show me what I am doing wrong or when I can bring it in to have things looked at and or repaired. Kind of funny, Mesa to the rescue. I'll be making an appearance at Mesa Hollywood very shortly, guitars in hand. Mesa Hollywood (John T.) is the best. Honest, straight forward and has helped me out of a jam more than once with quick repairs and lots of direction on how to achieve what I'm looking for. I also do everything within my power to keep all my equipment American made.
Thanks for the kind words, TeleMan... and thanks for your support! We're proud to be able to continue our nearly 50 year history making musical instrument products here in the USA. We will contionue to do so, much due to people like you who understands the committment to remaining USA made as well as a committment to making the best musical instruments we know how. much continued success to you and your music and glad to hear the Hollywood guys are taking good care of you! :D
that's a sweet sounding amp. Great to see the controls set up like you would on a desk in an amp. I've been looking for this type of versatility, so you can leave the desk, power amps, speakers, cables etc etc at home and rock up with a compact all in one amp for duets. Nice one boogie.
The guitar sound is usually the feature sound, and most good-quality name-brand acoustic amps do reasonably well at providing decent guitar amplification. I use this type of ‘acoustic amp’ often and have been frustrated by the poor quality of the mic pre-amps in many of these units. I love using Great River mic pre-amps in my studio for vocals, and would really-really like to be able to get that sound quality in an ‘acoustic amp’ vocal channel for the sake of convenience when going out to play small gigs. This Mesa Rosette 300 review appears encouraging and I look forward to trying out one.
Thanks for your interest and thanks for the kind words. We love Great River stuff too! :) While the Rosette input section may not be *quite* as lush as a Great River Mic Pre :), it's nicely close and what it certainly does is remain authentic to the input signal source as your starting point. Lots of acoustic amps we compared to in our R & D seemed pretty 'voiced' and that goes against much of what we lean toward in general (even in our electric amp designs), but certainly in the acoustic realm. The console channel strip concept is the backbone of the amp, with inputs optimized for their appropriate connections and signal (not shared by a combo jack circuit which compromises both or emphasizes one), and then supported by premium quality speakers, tweeter, adjustable crossover and quality cabinetry. It's an exciting format and one where our direction was a natural one based on our history and desire for clarity and detail in our designs and outputs. For finishing touches for lush vocals in the Rosette that sound and feel inspiring to sing through might include some outboard compression and your favorite reverbs, or the on-board reverb - or maybe not for the quick throw & go... But fundamentally, the Rosette is clean and true to it's input and a familiar starting point for people with studio experience like yourself. Look forward to your thoughts when you have a chance to check one out! :)
I'm JUST entering this realm for duo work with an outstanding vocalist Frank Vignola and I share. This is great timing. Would love to see/hear a demo of this quality focused on both a vocal and guitar plugged in. I noticed the one one vocal clip in this video the mic was not plugged into either amp. Tell Tien to send a film team here and my partner and I will do it ;)
Can't wait to order one in Wine Red to match my new Mark V - sound is awesome. Thanks Mega Boogie for building great high quality amps and accessories.
Is that 'Tone Boy' Doug towards the end? Looks real classy Mesa...another must have for JP fans with piezo pickups on EBMM guitars as well as the whole acoustic world.
It most definitely is Doug! Thanks for noticing. :) And yes, excellent applications with the Rosette and bridge piezo systems on solidbody guitars like the EBMM. It's a bold new world! Thankas for the kind words.
Well, since my teen years I´ve always dreamt of having a Mesa amp and for twenty years followed their product line. Bough a Mark V two weeks ago and I´m still amazed: how could I have the best amp that I´ve ever heard in my own bedroom? And now Mesa releases this loving accoustic amp. The concern they have for an accoustic player´s needs seems top notch (mike imput for live performance). Hope it sells by the tons! One question: I´m also an amateur violin player, and i´ve seen a violin in the background. Are you planning to realease a video with other instruments, like violins, violas, cellos and/or upright bass?
Hi Luis - Thanks for the incredibly kind words and congrats on your Mark V and we hope it provides you with a lifetime of new and great tones! Regarding other instruments, we absolutely plan to release other videos demonstrating the Rosette's potential. As it's circuit is similar to console design, it works incredibly well for ANY acoustic instruments and we're looking forward to showcasing it with many different styles and instruments. Thanks for your interest. :D
Hi Roger - Thanks for the kind words, and yes - very much like a console channel strip in amplifier format. :) Speakers are full range, custom to our specs, neodymium, built exclusively for us by Eminence in USA. Thanks for your interest!
Thanks for the kind words and your interest, Daniel. Rosette goes into production starting next week and should be shipping to stores in the US the following week. Please check with your distributor in the UK for more specific landed details but production of export Rosettes will occur right along side domestic versions so the only delay will be the shipping time frames. :)
Would love split a solid body electric's piezo system out to this and keep the magnetic pickups in my normal amp. Mixing clean electric sound with piezo through this would sound heavenly I'm sure.
This would be a great setup, Will! The Rosette should work well with Piezo style pickups in Solidbody bridges and blending is always golden once the blend is right. :)
Former Mesa/Boogie dealer here that is out of the MI. What is pro net on this? I need it! Most acoustic amps are so limited and thin sounding. This is a game changer I believe! I'll find my fellow friends that are dealers and get it asap! Tien are you still answering the RUclips croud?
Hi Ken - Thanks for your interest and the kind words! Please contact your nearest Authorized Mesa Dealer or preferred online retailer for pricing and availability as we have a policy of not quoting prices and instead, refer you to your preferred dealer. Thanks again for the enthusiasm! :)
this would be a great contender for the AER domino 3, but I hope the rosette is the winner coz of the 300 watt headroom instead of the 100/200 watt that the AER domino 3 has.
Nice tone. I've owned over a dozen acoustic amps including Trace Elliot, Sedona's etc. Wondering why Mesa elected to go solid state when the company is so tube oriented. Was there any research on using tubes? Why was this they're chosen way to go? Also, will there be color options like with my Express plus5:50? It would be cool beyond anything to have one in Ruby red to match my Express.Thanks, I'll be calling Sweetwater,,, Don
Hi Don - Great question abouty why solid state when we have such a rich history of success with tubes. The first answer is that acoustic instruments tend to have a built in compression and resonance that is unique to each instrument and that inherent resonance/compression doesn't always benefit from the extra expansion and breath that tubes generally offer in the electric realm. In fact, in our experience, acoustic instruments actually benefit from having the amplification be a bit more linear and accurate - what solid state power is very well known for. Because acoustic instruments are so unique - just between acoustic guitars, but then so many other instruments like violins, dobro, upright bass, cello, etc... The variation between all those types of instruments really dictates that it can be ideal to come from a place of neutrality and allow the controls on the amp to make changes/enhancements from that place of neutrality rather than the voice and response of tubes being added to enhance something when it's not clear if that's what would help. After lots of R & D and comparisons and technologies including tubes, we decided that the class D power sections offer reliable power and heardoom in a lightweight and compact package, and the channel strip style circuits and format really suits the huge variety of instruments bes as a starting point for tone and perfromance! Regarding custom options, YES! The Rosette can be customized the same as any other Mesa and that's one of the things we are incredibly excited about fopr the Rosette Combo. A combo in Red Vinyl would look amazing with the cream front panel! :D Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks, well said. I always could get a good acoustic sound from my Sedona but I found myself going back to the Trace Elliot or just straight to the PA. It seemed easier to get what I wanted without the tube coloring the sound..
what is the sound of acoustic amp when I used it for classical guitar? And why acoustic string guitar is always used in demo for almost all acoustic amp?
Hi Jonathan - thanks for your interest and good questions! There is a semi-hollowbody nylon string guitar played in the middle of the video in a classical style: ruclips.net/video/-Vi71YH7DNI/видео.htmlm19s Many steel string players seem to be more likely to use acoustic amps where nylon string guitarists often use a mic. However, that seems to be changing and plenty of nylon string players are using amps too. The Rosette sounds great with nylon string as it's very natural and true to the sound of your intrument. Also, the Rosette DI Pre is the exact same preamp as the Rosette Combo and sounds great. Here's is a nylon string demo with the Rosette DI Pre: ruclips.net/video/fKAnyRGKaI0/видео.html Thanks for your interest. Let us know if you have any more questions!
also in the video your depth and width measurements are reversed. :) I contaced Sweetwater. My sales rep told me he wasn't aware of a wood cab. version. Is that an option or is the one in the video just for special/ beautiful people, LOL Thanks, I'll stop being a bother now.......Don
Hi Don - As mentioned in our previous response, the Rosette Combo is definitely available in all of the custom options finished that we offer with our other amps! You can get a hardwood cabinet (as shown in the video) or any of the different vinyl coverings listed in our Custom Design Gallery, as well as embossed leather and suedes, etc. Basically, any of the custom options you've seen MESA amps covered in before (and still available) can be applied to the Rosette combo products! Thanks for the heads up on the width and depth measurements. That is indeed backwards on the video. Ooooops! Thanks for the keen eyes! :)
Was wondering if this would work: Vocals>Ch. 1, Acoustic Guitar>Ch. 2, Beatbuddy/Backing Tracks>Aux Input, Atomic Amplifire Modeler>FX Return. Eventually wanted to be able to switch between acoustic and electric and line my entire mix into a PA. Could the Rosette do this?
Hi PunkRocker - You could use your PRS into the Rosette for clean sounds and it sounds pretty dang good (even though it's not the ideal, intended use). However, while a distortion pedal into the front of the amp might sound OK, were not going to say it would sound awesome because the amp wasn't designed to be used this way. Also, distortion pedals don't sound good and don't work well in FX loops, so if you were going to use a distortion pedal, we recommend they be placed in line between guitar and the input of the amp, not the Loop. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest! :)
Is one channel intended for a microphone for vocals? Can that be demonstrated please? What if you have a Taylor expression system guitar that has a xlr lead and you wish to use a mic with an xlr lead?
Hi +Lewis Phillips - Great question! Ch. 1 is available to be used with an XLR OR 1/4" input and the XLR source can either be a mic or an XLR output from a guitar and can be used for vocals or XLR instruments. Using Ch. 1 for Vocals and Ch. 2 for the guitar is demonstrated at 6:50 in the video. If you need TWO XLR inputs, you can purchase a mic transformer adaptor or cable/pigtail that converts XLR to 1/4" properly with no loss for around $20-25. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions. :)
Hi Punk Rocker - The Rosette begins production next week and should start shipping as early as the following week to the US. Thanks for your interest! :)
Doesn't sound acoustic at all. Might be the guitars but it really sounds electric and artificial here. Love my Mark V and was hoping to be excited by this.
I LOVE this amp so much. Very honored to participate, and can't wait to get mine!
Such an honor to have you join us for this, Gretchen. Your playing and styles were phenomenal examples of what the amp can do. And looking so forward to sharing more of the great stuff you did very soon! Amps go into production this coming week... :D
Gretchen Menn
Great job, nice touch...outstanding vocal.
Thank you Doug and the MESA team!
I'm really excited and digging the tones here! Looks, wait sounds like the perfect compliment to my acoustic electric!
I've never owned an acoustic amp before.... but it's about to happen!! Still have my original Mesa Road King and 4x12 can't be beat. Your products simply deliver! Excited to try it!

Tone Boy sounded great! I didn't know he was such a dynamic acoustic player ... :)
Boogies are simply the best amps in the entire World. I bought a Stereo 2:50 for my rack rig, then I bought a Lone Star; and recently I bought a Mark V:35 which I'm still waiting for to receive it. Boogie's tone it's like a drug.
Many thanks for the incredible kind words, Aurelio! Congrats on the Mark Five: 35 and we hope you get it soon. :)
I hear you bro! Like a harmless drug I should add ;-) . I will be ordering my Rosette DI ASAP.
Got mine this weekend from GuitarGuitar in UK. Love it. Absolutely love it. Excellent work.
I've had a Marshall AS50R for quite some time and will likely stick with it because I don't play acoustic that much. But I'm sure the Rosette sounds fantastic. I've had a Mesa Boogie since 1982, and it sounds great no matter what guitar I plug in.

Absolutely incredible acoustic sound. I would love to see that upright bass plugged in!
Rosette sounds EXCELLENT with upright, Adam. Videos will be coming soon demoing that. Thanks for thekind words and thanks for watching!

P.S. Great cast of players!
Her mic is pluged in on the wood cab version.
Don Hogan You're right. I missed that on the first look. Cool. That's makes way more sense - ha!
Don Hogan You're right. Missed that! Now it makes sense - ha!
@MESA/Boogie the offer still stands ;)
Gratulálok!Így kell szólni egy akusztikus erősítőnek.
You guys did an awesome awesome video nothing but playing. Cool 😎
Can't wait to order one in Wine Red to match my new Mark V - sound is awesome. Thanks Mega Boogie for building great high quality amps and accessories.

Sounds great.
Also, I can't help but think that this amp could work wonders with single coil electric guitars, like telecasters, for clean sounds...
Wow this could be awesome to have for the piezo out of my Majesty, the magnetic out already goes to my Mark V... It would be a great rig...!
Agreed, Clement! Blended rigs can sound amazing and the Rosette will sound great with the piezo from the Majesty. :)
Sounds very good. Tone shaping controls resemble editing suite. What's the speaker?
Hi Roger - Thanks for the kind words, and yes - very much like a console channel strip in amplifier format. :) Speakers are full range, custom to our specs, neodymium, built exclusively for us by Eminence in USA. Thanks for your interest!
Well, that's something straight in top position on the shopping list. Like many, I'd love to know expected release dates (for UK in my case).
Thanks for the kind words and your interest, Daniel. Rosette goes into production starting next week and should be shipping to stores in the US the following week.

this would be a great contender for the AER domino 3, but I hope the rosette is the winner coz of the 300 watt headroom instead of the 100/200 watt that the AER domino 3 has.

Nice sound!! I can hook my Yamaha AC3R acoustic-electric guitar in the Mesa Boogie acoustic amplifier.
also in the video your depth and width measurements are reversed. :) I contaced Sweetwater. My sales rep told me he wasn't aware of a wood cab. version. Is that an option or is the one in the video just for special/ beautiful people, LOL Thanks, I'll stop being a bother now.......Don
Hi Don - As mentioned in our previous response, the Rosette Combo is definitely available in all of the custom options finished that we offer with our other amps! You can get a hardwood cabinet (as shown in the video) or any of the different vinyl coverings listed in our Custom Design Gallery, as well as embossed leather and suedes, etc. Basically, any of the custom options you've seen MESA amps covered in before (and still available) can be applied to the Rosette combo products!

Thanks,, Don
Great amp!
Was wondering if this would work: Vocals>Ch. 1, Acoustic Guitar>Ch. 2, Beatbuddy/Backing Tracks>Aux Input, Atomic Amplifire Modeler>FX Return. Eventually wanted to be able to switch between acoustic and electric and line my entire mix into a PA. Could the Rosette do this?
Any demonstration with a resonator guitar?
At 8:00 - I did not know Kevin Sorbo played guitar!
Hi Mesa boogie! Can I use my Paul reed smith ce 2016 with this and throw a distortion pedal in the loop? Will it work with an electric guitar?
Hi PunkRocker - You could use your PRS into the Rosette for clean sounds and it sounds pretty dang good (even though it's not the ideal, intended use). However, while a distortion pedal into the front of the amp might sound OK, were not going to say it would sound awesome because the amp wasn't designed to be used this way. Also, distortion pedals don't sound good and don't work well in FX loops, so if you were going to use a distortion pedal, we recommend they be placed in line between guitar and the input of the amp, not the Loop. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest! :)
I always thought that a distortion pedal could damage the tweeter on this type of device ?
What ukulele are you ussing at min 5:00? Sounds great !!!
WoW
Thanks, Sergio! :D
Is amazing that Rosette can do!
Is one channel intended for a microphone for vocals? Can that be demonstrated please? What if you have a Taylor expression system guitar that has a xlr lead and you wish to use a mic with an xlr lead?
Hi +Lewis Phillips - Great question! Ch. 1 is available to be used with an XLR OR 1/4" input and the XLR source can either be a mic or an XLR output from a guitar and can be used for vocals or XLR instruments. Using Ch. 1 for Vocals and Ch. 2 for the guitar is demonstrated at 6:50 in the video. If you need TWO XLR inputs, you can purchase a mic transformer adaptor or cable/pigtail that converts XLR to 1/4" properly with no loss for around $20-25. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions. :)
When can we buy it?
Hi Punk Rocker - The Rosette begins production next week and should start shipping as early as the following week to the US. Thanks for your interest! :)
Doesn't sound acoustic at all. Might be the guitars but it really sounds electric and artificial here. Love my Mark V and was hoping to be excited by this.

I have one. It isn't clangy of metallic unless you want it to be. This is a fantastic acoustic amplifier.
