Nothing feels like a 100 Watt amp regardless of volume. The extra glass and bigger transformers provide more headroom, dynamic nuance, more snap at the attack, increased dimensional width and better tracking of low frequencies. The MESA/Boogie® Fillmore™ Family of amps are designed for players seeking a straight-forward amplifier capable of delivering everything from pristine cleans to warm, vintage gain tones. With a Fillmore™ 100™ you can easily dial in your tone with subtle increments of saturation and the perfect amount of headroom for any venue. These amps are super responsive, organic and nuanced, with rich harmonic content. Guitarists will feel at home plugged into a Fillmore whether playing a Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, Reggae or Jazz gig. And, for the pedal lover, they're the ultimate pedal platform.
The Fillmore 100 is loaded with a quartet of 6L6 Power Tubes plus five 12AX7 Preamp Tubes and features a global High/Half/Low power switch. A streamlined front panel showcases 2 fully independent & identical foot-switchable channels. Both feature CLEAN, DRIVE & HI Modes, with Independent GAIN, TREBLE, MID, BASS, PRESENCE, REVERB & MASTER Controls.
CLEAN - While the Fillmore's preamp architecture leans toward the more throaty voice and easier to clip "Tweed" circuits of the 1950s, the lower half of the CLEAN mode behaves more like a 1960s "Blackface" type of circuit. Here you'll find pristine cleans with ample sparkle and chime. The upper end of CLEAN can be driven to clip and its crystalline sparkle gives way smoothly to a perfect top end that doesn't sound buzzy or thin when clipped & saturated.
DRIVE - This mode picks up a little before where CLEAN tops out and approaches "high-gain". Unlike the rounder, warmer voice of HI, the DRIVE mode's "unedited" top end is reminiscent of a clean channel, allowing for a less compressed feel and harmonics to come through. Expressive & dynamically unhindered, DRIVE is perfect for open overdriven tones.
HI - The highest gain of the Fillmore 100's three modes, it features a wide range of saturation from subtle expressive clip to burning overdrive - creating ample sustain, harmonics, and compression for most high-gain work save for perhaps extreme modern metal sounds. This mode pays homage to the best of the late 70s/early 80s Crunch Rhythm & Lead Sounds, riding a line between MESA/Boogie & Brit amp tones popular in that era. HI is tailored with its top end somewhat rounded off and the harmonics shaped to produce a better single note response with a voice-like character.
A fully buffered, Series Tube FX Loop and All-Tube, Long-Tank, Spring Reverb with independent channel controls round out the Fillmore 100’s feature set. An external Reverb Switching Jack provides for remote switching of Reverb with an optional reverb footswitch & cable (sold separately) or external controller.
