WHY IT BOOGIES:
“If we could stop smiling long enough to put it down, we’d tell you that never has hard rock and metal been so utterly satisfying from such a small enclosure. Don’t count it out for high-gain blues rock, or classic rock either for that matter: another winner!” Mick Taylor – Guitarist
The THROTTLE BOX™ Distortion serves up all genres of ROCK with cut and aggression, but retains the signature warmth and organic sonic quality found in mesa/BOOGIE amplifiers.
While its main strengths lie in higher-gain sounds, it is quite versatile and it’s lower gain options shouldn’t be overlooked for classic rock or howling blues.
The THROTTLE BOX also features a unique MID CUT that scoops out midrange to produce the signature Boogie® “V” EQ-curve that so many artists have employed in mesa/BOOGIE amps to create the world’s heaviest guitar tones!
