MESA/Boogie Partners with Neural DSP for new ‘Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite’

MESA/Boogie is proud to announce a new partnership with Neural DSP for the  MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+, a new digital series that delivers the most accurate representations of some of MESA/Boogie’s legendary amps and cabinets. Learn more at: https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/Digital-Partners.

A pivotal part of guitar amplifier history, this plugin suite is designed after one of the most legendary guitar amps, the MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+.

Designed and built by MESA/Boogie®, the IIC+ pioneered the use of switchable lead and rhythm channels and has been the favored amp of a wide range of guitar players throughout the decades. Renowned for its power and versatility, the Mark IIC+ is beloved for its rich, complex tone by  Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield (Metallica), Prince, Steve Lukather (Toto), Neal Schon (Journey) and John Petrucci (Dream Theater), to name a few.

The Neural Mark IIC+ features a front panel with push/pull knobs for Bright/Rhythm, Bright/Lead, Treble, Bass, Deep, and Lead/Rhythm, plus a five-band graphic EQ. In the back, are Presence and Reverb controls, and a Simul-Class/Class A switch that allows users to select the power amp topology. Also included is a quartet of pre-effects–with a pair of overdrives that can take users from a subtle boost to classic tube saturation, and a compressor for rich, glassy clean tones, and a chorus unit – plus a pair of post-effects, including a BBD-style stereo delay and an ’80s-style hall reverb.

The Mark IIC+ suite features a separate nine-band graphic EQ, a cabsim module with hundreds of IRs, and three speaker options – a MESA/Boogie Rectifier Standard Slant 4×12, a Traditional Slant 4×12, and stacked Horizontal 2x12s – 10 virtual microphones, and Neural DSP’s proprietary room-mic section. In addition to the hundreds of IRs that come with the suite, users also have the ability to load their own IRs.

MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite from Neural is available everywhere worldwide for €99.

Fans can test out the Mark IIC+ suite free, for 14 days; explore here: https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/Digital-Partners.
