Mesa Boogie Review: DC-5

Mesa Boogie Guitar Amplifiers

History:

Purchase: I purchased the amp at MARS in Houston, TX. The DC-5 was around $740 (after tax).

What I Like About This Mesa Boogie DC-5: The DC-5 has unreal gain, totally evil sound. The lead with the built-in eq allows you to just grip and rip. Just plug it in and plug your guitar in and your off. Simplicity ws what I was looking for and I found it with the Mesa DC-5. Loud as HELL and only 50 watts.

What I Do NOT Like About The Mesa Boogie DC-5: The only downfall is the footswitch for the eq and channel switching could be longer. The DC-5 I don't think is available as a stock amp. I think that you have to order them from Mesa.

Mesa Boogie DC-5 Quality Rating: The DC-5 has pretty good construction, but be careful of the knobs are plastic

Review Summary: If you are looking for a solid heavy tone that covers most rock, try the DC-5.

Rating of this Mesa Boogie product: 5
