Wide-ranging overdrive is a workhorse for your pedalboard

With the Flux-Drive in your guitar's signal chain, you'll be able to dial in tones from smooth, liquid lead tones through to classic overdrive tones. The Bass and Treble tone controls have 12dB of boost or cut available, which gives you a lot of tonal range to cover. And if you've got a favorite tube amplifier that just loves to be hit hard, you can boost your signal by up to 20dB to help your amp find its sweet spot.

Built tough in the USA for rugged reliability

Mesa/Boogie has been hand-building some of the most sought after guitar gear in Petaluma, CA since the late '60s. Early fans of Mesa gear include Carlos Santana and Keith Richards, guitarists whose tones have been chased by countless musicians ever since. When you plug into the Flux-Drive, you're tapping into decades of innovation. Especially if you gig regularly, you'll appreciate the top-notch sound and construction you get in the Flux-Drive.

An overdrive made with care

If had to boil down all the things I love about this pedal for the sake of the reader I would say I love that it maintains your guitars natural tone. With the gain turned low its a great boost pedal, medium gain growls, and high gain is a distortion pedal. The bass and treble knobs really bring the whole thing together for me . Great job Mesa boogie thank you.

Great Overdrive

Great overdrive pedal. Not best match for Mesa amps but sounds great on an orange amp

Best Pedal I've Ever Owned

I am a 40-year, 6000-gig Mesa Boogie Mark IIB purist. I've played and heard 1000 Marshall, Fender, blah blah blah, and other Mesa amps. No other amp or pedal before provided the thick, silky, articulated, expressive tone in the Mark II's overdrive channel.

The Flux is the second-best overdrive playing experience I've ever had. On the clean side it adds subtle, crystal-clear crunch and thickness. On the overdrive side it runs a close second in every regard to the Mark II.

Incredible to me that this was accomplished with a solid state unit! I previously thought this was possible with only tubes.

Buy it! Worth every penny!

Best Mesa OD Pedal

I recently wrote a review about a Mesa Gold Mine pedal. I was hoping it would be the successor for the Flux Drive pedal...it wasn't. The Flux Drive is still king of the hill for harmonically complex overdrive that is very tight, with clear note articulation...best overall low to high gain pedal I have for that killer Mesa sound. I use it to drive my Triaxis and Rectifier clean channels at the edge of breakup...this pedal makes my clean channels sound better than my lead channels....less noise and more control over the gain. The 2 band eq works well also...i use the treble control for a slight treble cut and boost the bass a bit...the mids are perfect so you won't miss not having a mid-range frequency control. It works great to tighten up the Rectifier low end to make it roar with purpose. Just a great pedal even 7 years later.

Perfect for my style

Never owned a Mesa/Boogie product before but won't be the last. It provides a very special rich full sound. Works well with other pedals. I was having writers block and well Carlos Santana was right Mesa Engineering's products adds some Boogie to your sound. It's one to learn but perfect. Plus the Sci Fi sounding name Flux Drive is even cool

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Billy Germano

As a guitarist in a melodic hardcore band, I've tried out countless pedals in my never-ending search for the perfect tone. As soon as I came across the Mesa Flux-Drive, I knew this pedal would never leave my pedalboard. I play very big chords that require clarity and articulation, and the Flux-Drive nails it. It's a simply irreplaceable part of my rig!

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
