Mesa/Boogie F-30 30W 1x12 Tube Combo – Celestion Vintage 30 – Footswitch + Cover – USA

Beautiful Mesa/Boogie F-30 30-watt all-tube 1x12 combo, hand built in Petaluma, California.

Includes the original Mesa F-30 three-button footswitch and Mesa fitted protective cover.

I've owned this amp for many years, but it has seen very little actual playing time. Most of my playing and recording has been done direct through a mixer/modeling setup, so the F-30 has spent most of its life at home rather than being regularly gigged.

I'm selling it simply because I now play primarily through a direct/modeling setup and don't need this much tube amplification at home.

The Sound

This is a seriously powerful little Mesa.

The clean channel is clear, warm and dynamic, while the Lead channel delivers everything from crunch to saturated Mesa gain. Engaging Contour gives the Lead channel an additional, more aggressive voice.

Despite being rated at 30 watts, this is a very loud tube amp with plenty of power for rehearsals and live use.

Condition

Very lightly used and kept primarily at home.

The amp is in very good condition for its age, with only normal minor cosmetic signs of age and storage. Please see the detailed photos, including the chassis, speaker and inspection label.

The original Celestion Vintage 30 8-ohm speaker is shown in the photos.

Everything functions as it should.

This is a discontinued, hand-built USA Mesa/Boogie with an excellent combination of beautiful cleans, classic Mesa gain and a Celestion Vintage 30 in a very compact package.

I'm only selling because I've moved to a direct/modeling setup and simply don't use it enough anymore.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
