Use Your Cab and FX with 2 Amp Heads

With the Mesa/Boogie Head-Track, you can toggle between two amplifiers while using the same cabinet. Beyond that, a shared effects loop allows you to route effects to each amplifier's loop and switch it to the amp in use. The Head-Track is a breeze to set up — you simply place it near your amp to safeguard your signal's integrity, while controlling its switching via MIDI or a latching footswitch on your pedalboard. You can also switch between amps using the Head-Track's built-in footswitch. Ideal for live, studio, and A/B comparisons alike, the Head-Track is also an easy way to route your entire signal chain to a backup amplifier.

Mesa/Boogie — tone, versatility, and performance

For decades, Mesa/Boogie amps have set the standard for what a great-sounding tube amplifier should be. Renowned for their combination of pure tube tone, versatility, and player-friendly performance, these amps are found on stages and in studios everywhere, and for good reason — the best choose the best. We're very proud to offer a full range of Mesa/Boogie products, from compact and studio-friendly tube combos all the way up to arena-shaking high-wattage heads and cabinets. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and experience Mesa/Boogie for yourself.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Love it!

Build quality is top notch and functions perfectly.
Rated 5/5

JUST what I needed!!!

I really love the clean sounds on my Vox head but love the dirt that my hand wired 8 watt Phaez amp has, so I really wanted to have something to switch between the two heads but play through my one 2X12 cab. The tricky thing that most switching units don't do is switch effects from one amp to the other, but the Mesa HeadTrack does! A HUGE shout out to my awesome Sweetwater tech Ryan Murphy. He's the one who did a little research when I told him my need and texted me back within 30 minutes to tell me he found exactly what I'm looking for, and was he ever spot on. So nice to switch back and forth with the click of a footswitch button. Quiet switching and small footprint, it's a thumbs up for sure.

Works perfectly!

Does EXACTLY what it says it does, and adds not one drop of tone loss or noise! When switching between amps, there is only silence, no noise or popping of any kind. The build quality is Exactly what you would expect from Mesa! Now how about a 3 or 4 amp switch Mesa???
Music background: Long time amateur

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.
