1971 was the year that Carlos Santana performed a concert at the Budokan Japan using his secret weapon, a very early Mark I Mesa Boogie amplifier. This is the guitar amplifier that inspired Legends and changed the role and musical range of the electric guitar. Famous for its expressive vocal violin-like tone and sustain, its sound is unmistakable yet unique and musical in the hands of each player.

Features include 1-channel, 1 x 12" Fillmore KS-100 Speaker, all-tube 10/60/100-watt guitar combo amplifier with mid boost. Other features include a tube-driven spring reverb, dual presence control switch, all aluminum chassis and slip cover. Each of these limited edition amps have custom-aged King Snake embossed lambskin leather with extruded edge moldings, vintage weave grille and are hand signed by Carlos and Randy.

I own it but did pay considerably less than it is offered here. Maybe that was before they where all sold out. I have never owned or played an amp like it. 10/60/100 watts and all usable. From the bedroom to the arena, it can do it well. Name a classic tube amp and you can get the tone with the King Snake. And I mean nail it, not just fake it or get some digital facsimile. Hook up extra cabs or run the “slave out” to other amps. It does it all and does it very, very well. It’s not overly complicated but I did have to read the owners manual a couple of time to get the max usable range out of it. All the controls don’t function as one might expect. For now, I have put my pedal board away. It’s not required with this amp. Although, I will bring out my Deluxe Memory Man at some point. And did I mention, it will nail Santana’s 70’s tone to the T. Look at all the online demos. It’s a keeper.

Does this amp make any sense at all at this price? The Mark V Combo is prices a little less and offers the same and more than this amp. There are other Boogie amps for even less than the Mark V which would provide 100% or at least very close to what this amp offers. Buy a 68 Fender Princeton instead, or even three maybe???

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
