Recently Nate and Nash toured the tweedy tones of the new Gibson Falcon amp, the latest offering from Gibson and Mesa Boogie. Not long after the release of that video, Randall Smith (founder of Mesa Boogie) contacted Nate to let him know how much he enjoyed the demo. During that conversation it became rapidly apparent that Randall, Nate, and Nash needed to meet for some Chords & Coffee. Randall is an extremely engaging storyteller, rock historian and master of his craft. Get ready to have your mind blown with wild tales of high gain rock tones!

Truly remarkable session. Mr. Smith is surprising: only a few combine the drive, the effectiveness and true humility into a remarkable life. The stories were great. I think we all should go out and buy a boogie amp! Nash and Nate: hats off to being able to put this man at such ease that he opens up his own thoughts and feelings about music and enabling those that make it. I absolutely adored the Trinity reference. Mr. Smith's integrity/transparency was a heart tug. It is astonishing to see a community of players and enablers so willing to benefit one another.
Thank you so much for tuning in my friend! Randall is a wellspring of knowledge and central figure in rock n roll history. Nate and I were truly humbled that he took the time out of his busy schedule to hang out and talk shop.

Thank you for subscribing! We appreciate you. 🙏
You touched my soul and it felt wonderful! I am a 69 year young guitar/vocalist doing my own and classic rock shows in Reno,NV. I picked up my grandfathers Supro Les Paul with his tveed Fender vibrolux Combo in my third grade of school in San Jose, CA. When I later saw a Mesa Boogie amp at Guitar Showcase it was love at first encounter. I made great money in construction but resented the high price and the policy of Boogie to not allow any substantial discount of their products to the result of pulling their franchise if they found any reseller had broken this rule. After a few years when I finally played through the Studio pre amp and a Simul 295 I understood. I was to never again own less than 2 Boogies after that. I have owned many and each one was superb and far superior to any other amp I knew of. I still have and love multiple favorite models from Marshall but if I had to choose only one it would surely be a Boogie, without any doubt or hesitation. I am starting a RUclips channel and hope to share the joyful experience I have found only with owning and using my Boogies. Randall Smith I hope you know the appreciation you create when you create these tools. Thank you!! I wish you well and many blessings!
Wow!!!
What a great story, thank you so much for sharing! I’ll be sure to send this to Randall. God bless you on your RUclips channel as well as all of your musical expression and endeavors!
My mark 3 that I bought in 86 sounds as good as now as it was new !
What a lovely soul.
Loved this episode thank you for this!
Thank you Tony!!! 🙏
No thank you I really had no idea the depth of this man. So so cool
Great interview. My favorite amps. I love my .50 caliber plus.
Thanks Steve! 🙏
Amazing interview! Now I need one more MESA amp :D
You and me both! 😄👍
Hearing Lee Michaels' name made me chuckle a little bit. Many years ago I was at Rick Turner's shop in SF. There was a mountain of small 1x12 cabinets there and I asked Rick, 'what's the deal with those?' Rick said that he built them, for Lee but he thought that they were too small ( Lee wanted a huge wall of speakers behind him) so he built him bigger ones and was selling the small ones...
That’s awesome! Love hearing that. I wonder what became of those cabs?
The Fillmore is an amazing amp!
Yes it is!!! Probably my favorite of the current lineup.👍
I have Prune Music amp made by Randall, Deluxe Reverb, owned I'm told by Lee Michaels, Jack O'Hara, then me, had it for 45 years now. Randall if you want to see it let me know, I'm in Marin now
That’s awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and we will pass that along!
Here's an idea....Ampeg esrly '70s V series. It's the elephant in any amp hot rodding room.
RIP Sal Trentino, I think he made that whizzer, he used to fix my stuff until he passed away about 10 years ago.
Triaxis gave us alternative volume settings for the same amp settings.
Whatever happened to
"pandora's box"?
Triaxis 3.0 ?
Curious why Mesa doesn't seem to ever use a tube rectifier in amps they make. I thought maybe the Falcon amps might have tube rectifiers. Seems they don't.
Another question: How different are the Gibson Falcon amps from the Mesa Boogie California Tweed amps?
Great question! To my knowledge, the dual rectifier and triple rectifier, still use tube rectifiers. A lot of Mesa’s other amps rely on preamp gain and use the “tightness” of a solid state rectifiers to achieve a desired percussiveness. Nash and I did a demo of the Falcon recently where we talk a lot about the differences between the California Tweed and the Falcon amp. Have you watched that yet?
You're not paying attention. MANY Mesa amps have had tube rectifiers. Including most of the Rectifier series.
@@Turboy65 Yeah, but the Falcon is supposed to be a recreation of an old amp that had a tube rectifier - 5Y3.
@@mrfuzztone The Falcon sounds like a 500 dollar amp, not a 1500 or 1800 dollar amp like Gibson wants to charge for.
What an absolutely horrible interview.
