Amplitudes: The Mesa Boogie Blog

Matt's Music Center - Weymouth, MA

Boston's Largest Purveyor of High End Guitars, Amps and Effects! Established in 1996, owner Matt Leff opened his own store after working 12 years at another local store. Specializing in American made boutique gear, MESA/Boogie and Matt’s Music have been a perfect fit for many years.

We’re proud to be part of the Mesa family, we offer an inventory you'll be very impressed with and our staff is one of the best anywhere. Although we strive to keep all popular Mesa models in stock, if we don’t have what you want, we’ll be happy get it for you and we’ll ship it anywhere in the continental USA. Be it a standard production amp or a one off custom shop masterpiece, we’ve got the experience to make your amp a reality. To answer the question about my favorite amp, I’ve loved the Dual and Triple Rectifier Solo heads ever since they came out. The aggressive overdrive is fantastic and having 3 channels is great. I used to have two rack mount Dual heads running in stereo mounted in a 32 space rack. I had one running on 6L6’s and the other on EL34’s. It took 2 guys to lift it but man that rig sounded good!

Clientele

In addition to our storefront, we also have customers from all over the world. As far as well known players go we’ve had a couple guys from Aerosmith, Ray LaMontagne, Jethro Tull, we just sold a guitar to Chad Taylor from the band LIVE and I sold some Boogie’s to the guys in Metallica a few years ago.

Industry Trends

There are a few trends we’ve been seeing. Smaller, lower wattage models are really popular now. Effects have gotten away from multi effect floor and rack units, smaller companies that are making pedals by hand are really selling well. And with guitars, classic body shapes that are aged are super popular.
