Mesa Boogie Nomad

Six classic modes housed in three footswitching channels.The front panel is simple and straight-forward with a no-compromise control layout that repeats three times. The opposite of edgy, Channel One features a gorgeous, well-balanced Clean sound that blooms at a less frantic, unhurried pace. Or, gain can be kicked up by switching to Pushed for a grittier breakup, hovering on the verge of clean. Channel Two is huge, with a wide, round envelope.

Most popular of the Mesa Nomads are the 2x12 combos led by the Nomad 45 with its quartet of EL-84 power tubes. This huge sounding, easily portable instrument boasts a tighter, higher bass with a stripped mid-range and a chiming, bell-like top end.

Nomad 100s also include our five-band Graphic EQ for powerful tone-shaping and an alternate, footswitchable sound.
