The MESA/Boogie Mark IIC++ is Etched into Amplifier History
References: mesaboogie
The MESA/Boogie Mark IIC++ represents a rare opportunity for guitar enthusiasts to own a piece of amplifier history. The piece is now reissued as a limited-edition production model with only 200 units available worldwide.
Originally developed in the mid-1980s as a custom modification for high-profile artists like Vivian Campbell and Kirk Hammett, the IIC++ was never officially mass-produced, which makes it one of the most sought-after and mythologized amplifiers in rock and metal. This new iteration faithfully replicates the enhanced gain structure and tonal characteristics of the original mod to deliver a thicker low end, increased harmonic complexity, and aggressive lead tones while retaining the sparkling clean channel of the standard IIC+.
Built by the same craftsmen in Petaluma, California, this nod to amplifier history offers modern reliability with a five-year warranty.
