Vintage-style Cab with Premium Sound

The Mesa/Boogie 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is an open-back guitar speaker cabinet aimed at vintage tone, classic looks, and maximum portability. The 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is a larger, deeper version of the Boogie 1 x 12-inch cab that's tailor-made for players who require a big, open-back sound from a single cabinet. This guitar cab comes loaded with a Black Shadow MC-90 speaker, which is renowned for its warm lows, smooth mids, and bell-like highs. The 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is a great choice for traditional blues and R&B, as well as classic rock and modern country. For classic Boogie tone with a small footprint, you can't go wrong with the 1 x 12 Boogie 23.

Boogie Guitar Cab Series

The Boogie Guitar Cab Series consolidates the best from Mesa/Boogie's Compact, Lone Star, Fillmore, and California Tweed Cab Series, simplifying them to a single line of open-back cabinets. These vintage-style cabs are lightweight, portable, and they sound incredible, thanks to top-shelf build quality and premium Celestion speakers. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found that Boogie Guitar Cab Series cabinets are available in a wide array of sizes, speaker options, and finishes to match most Mesa/Boogie amplifiers.

Black Shadow MC-90 speaker

The Mesa/Boogie 1 x 12 Boogie 23 features a Black Shadow MC-90 speaker, which is akin to a Celestion C-90. This vintage-flavored 12-inch speaker serves up warm low end complementing smooth mids, and detailed, bell-like highs. Thanks to the Black Shadow MC-90, the 1 x 12 Boogie 23 epitomizes the essence of classic guitar tone.

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.
