IK Multimedia TONEX MESA/Boogie Reference Signature Collection - Download

The MESA/Boogie Reference Signature Collection plug-in is a guitar amp modeling expansion for TONEX, giving you instant access to 5 one-of-a-kind amps, 2 cabs and 70 Tone Models.

All of these era-defining amps have withstood the test of time with their sonic mojo and feel, many featuring components no longer available. Located in MESA's Tone Lab these "reference amps" are essential to maintaining historical accuracy, while providing invaluable insights to shape future designs and guide the MESA legacy forward. Now TONEX lets these icons escape the lab to rock the world again.

All 5 amps were fine-tuned to their sweet spots by legendary "Tone Boy" Doug West, MESA's in-house tone guru for over 40 years, in a range of styles from Metallica-esque Mark IIC+ tones to Santana-inspired singing lead tones. Meticulously captured with IK's Advanced AI Machine Modeling Technology at a world-class studio in Northern California, the results are an unparalleled collection that you can own today.

Note: This expansion is for the TONEX ecosystem and requires either the free TONEX CS software, TONEX pedal, or full version software.
