Was very cool. These bad boys are indeed completely hand wired and vigorously tested 5 different times before going in the box and out the door! 2 full time play testers do their best to break every amp that comes thru. Also got to see some of the shiny new Gibson amp lines too. Looking very sweet! Hopefully with my employee discount I can cash in my bank shares and finally be a Boogie owner! Petaluma rules...

Awesome! I don't know a lot about this stuff - are they tube amps? |

Cool stuff! What are you going to be doing for them? What were you doing before? Did you have to relocate? |

Cool stuff! What are you going to be doing for them? What were you doing before? Did you have to relocate? Jeez +EGG+ you might want to check in on your own board from time to time! I will be doing customer service. Mesa Boogie provides lifetime support for every amp they ever made since 1969 as long as the owner registered it. That's partly why they cost so much. My job will be to help people try to fix their amp problems over the phone before sending it in for service. Making sure they've checked all the basic, simple things. Like that the standby switch isn't on! I will have to learn the signal chain flow for all their amps and will get paid to spend lots of time playing through all of their models. No I didn't have to relocate. Mesa Boogie is located right here in my awesome hometown of Petaluma CA. Along with Lagunitas Brewing Company any many other cool establishments... |

I have friends with tube amps who were lamenting how expensive tubes got during/after the pandemic. I know a lot of guys nowadays go with modelers, so it's good traditional tube amps are still made. Once they know you pretty well, you'll have to sneak back and make another shred video.  |

Just got home from day one. Really just on boarding and orientation. Although since they're owned by Gibson now there were many, many corporate workplace harassment /discrimination vids etc. (I thought of Glimmer shaking his head and trying to understand it)...Best news is 50% employee discount on all Gibson brands. So definitely some new gear on the horizon for me. Also they have an instrument loan program so I can take home an amp or guitar for up to 2 weeks. Sweet...

Years ago a big chain, Mars Music, opened. A friend got a job there, complete with employee discount. He had so much gear on layaway, every payday he owed them money. |

EPIc fail... Those artist epis are actually really good. I regret not getting the Brendan Small Snow Falcon, the Lizzy Hale and the Richie Faulkner ones. Not only are they cool, but they've doubled in value.
This was 899, now going for $2400 on reverb
$899, now going for $2000
This one "only" going for $1250 now
