Vintage-inspired Magic

From soft clip to saturated, the Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 50 delivers a glorious vintage-inspired tone. This tube head features two independent, footswitchable channels. Each channel boasts a 3-band EQ, Gain and Presence controls, and Reverb and Master controls. You also get 3-mode channel cloning, which supplies you with even more tonal possibilities. Polish your sound with a fully buffered, series tube FX loop, then immerse your playing in lush all-tube, long-tank spring reverb. When you crank up the Fillmore 50, you can expect super-responsive, nuanced performance with a subtle saturation that — in Mesa's words — serves, not smothers your style.

Welcome to the Fillmore!

The Fillmore 50 was named in tribute to Bill Graham's legendary bi-coastal music venues. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, these venues hosted such luminaries as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, B.B. King, King Crimson, The Allman Brothers Band, Frank Zappa, and many more. The Fillmore 50 captures the same magic dust that placed these venues in the annals of historic concert venues. So plug in — and enjoy a responsive, nuanced, organic sound that's sure to inspire.

Built-in spring reverb for classic electric guitar tones

There's an incredibly sweet all-tube, long-tank spring reverb in the Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 50, and that's not even the best part. Each channel has its own reverb level, so you're not restricted to the same reverb setting for both channels.

Built in the USA to rock hard — and reliably

Mesa/Boogie has been hand-building some of the most sought-after guitar gear in Petaluma, California since the late '60s. Early fans of Mesa/Boogie gear include Carlos Santana and Keith Richards, guitarists whose tones have been chased by countless musicians for years. When you plug into the Fillmore 50, you're tapping into decades of innovation. The guitarists at Sweetwater appreciate the top-notch sound and construction you get in the Fillmore 50.

Mesa got it right!!

I'm amazed!!!

By far the best guitar amp I have ever owned!..and I've been through many. Able to bring out the full Marshall british tones while switching to American Fender tones in a flip of the switch. 20 watts to 50 watts. Brings out the glorious tube tones and harmonics. rich highs with tight lows! Dual reverb channels. Clone channel etc.

I am so impressed!!! I was eyeing this for a long time. I wish I would had purchased this earlier. It's an amazing amp. I have nothing bad to say about it other than I wish it had a solo boost like some Mesa's do. If it had that, then it would be a MORE PERFECT amp.

Best sounding amp I ever had

My wife bought me this amp after my fender hot rod broke down for the second time. I had been looking at these for a couple of years telling her that I wanted one for my next amp. I have three 112 cabinets loaded with different speakers. A creamback, a Texas heat, and a cannabis rex. All three have different tonal capabilities but this amp makes any of them sound excellent. The amp seems to be much quieter than the hotrod deluxe, but still plenty loud enough. Tone capabilities of this amp are virtually unlimited. Very versatile, excellent clean, very fender like. Set channel one to clean, using overdrive pedal for mild overdrive.set second channel to high gain for rockier sounds. Absolutely love it.

Killer amp!

Picked one up and I'm very impressed. I've played high gain amps most of my life (Diezel, EVH, Rectifiers etc) but I wanted something with more of a voice, the Fillmore delivers. It's punchy, articulate and handles beautiful cleans all the way to raspy classic rock. Takes pedals very well, really well voiced amp. Boogie did a good thing with this one

Just AMAZING

The clean channel is just amazing. Very ambient and 3D feeling. I've owned markIV, Express, 50 cal, triple crowns and many other brand tube amps. The cleans are just amazing. The ability to have a second channel for some crunch is just the cherry on top. Running through a 2x12

No EQs etc. Just simple to dial in.


If you are thinking about buying this amp, don't hesitate. The hype is real. Probably the best bang for your buck.

Fender clean to marshal crunch. If you need more metal tones...add a pedal.

Mesa knocked it out of the Park.

LOVE IT!!!

Extremely versatile amp. I would highly recommend it.

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.
