About this listing
Vintage-Voiced Expressiveness Meets Modern Channel-Cloning Flexibility
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 50 1x12 Combo in classic Black Bronco with a Black Jute grille. Born from Mesa’s vintage-voiced branch of lutherie, the Fillmore 50 pays homage to the legendary 1960s California tone circuit. Powered by a pair of 6L6 power tubes and loaded with a 12" Celestion Custom 90 speaker, it delivers an incredibly responsive, organic voice packed with soft clip, subtle saturation, and room-filling dynamic headroom.
This one has been used as an in-store demo unit, it is in original condition, with the factory box, packing, cover, owner's manual, and footswitch, and sold with full warranty.
The Ultimate Dual-Channel Pedal Platform
What sets the Fillmore 50 apart is its revolutionary dual-channel layout. Featuring two identical, fully independent channels with 3-mode channel cloning (CLEAN, DRIVE, and HI), players have total freedom to configure the amplifier for any gig or studio setting. Because each channel can be set independently to pure, high-headroom Clean, the Fillmore 50 is widely regarded as one of the finest pedal platform amplifiers on the market.
For players getting their overdrive and distortion entirely from stompboxes, this dual-clean capability opens up powerful tonal possibilities: configure Channel 1 EQ and Gain specifically for low-output single-coil pickups (Strat/Tele), and dial in Channel 2 specifically to optimize the frequency balance and response for higher-output humbuckers (Les Paul/335). Alternatively, run one channel as a pristine studio clean and the other as an edge-of-breakup rhythm voice, both accepting your front-of-amp and effects loop pedals with absolute transparency.
Product Intelligence & Buyers Guidance:
Best For: Pedalboard Enthusiasts, Blues, Classic Rock, Americana, Country, Fusion, and Session Recording.
Tone Profile: Warm, woody, vintage-voiced California clean tone with organic tube bloom, silky highs, and rich midrange harmonics.
Compared To: Vintage Blackface or Tweed-style American combos, but with vastly superior dual-channel flexibility, master volume controls, and modern reliability.
Sanctuary Expert Note: "The Fillmore 50 is hands down one of the most flexible pedal platforms in our showroom. Being able to set both channels to Clean allows you to perfectly balance your single-coil and humbucker guitars on the fly without ever touching your pedal settings mid-set."
