With the Mark IIC+ HRG, Mesa Boogie revives one of its most iconic models. Powered by five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6 power amp tubes, the legendary amplifier delivers dynamic tones from clean to high-gain, while offering numerous features for rich tonal variety. The abbreviation HRG stands for "Hundred-Watt / Reverb / Graphic EQ," reflecting the combination of 100 watts of power, integrated spring reverb, and a 5-band graphic EQ. Already considered a classic in the 1980s, the amp combines ample headroom, precise response, and a lead section with exceptional dynamics. Musicians such as John Petrucci have used the HRG for decades, helping the model achieve cult status.
The Mark IIC+ HRG features a single-channel design with two switchable modes: Rhythm and Lead. In Rhythm mode, the amp delivers everything from crystal-clear cleans to warm vintage crunch, while Lead mode unleashes the IIC+'s famous high-gain tone with cascading gain structure. Separate gain and master controls for both modes, a switchable pull-lead option, and the versatile 5-band EQ provide a wide range of tonal possibilities. This is complemented by the switchable reverb section, tube-driven FX loop, and flexible power control between 100 and 60 watts.
Five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6 power amp tubes provide powerful response and maximum output. The integrated 5-band graphic EQ allows precise sound shaping, from tight low-end to assertive mids, while the Presence and Deep controls round out fine-tuning. With a robust steel chassis, high-quality manufacturing in Petaluma, California, and features such as footswitch options for EQ and reverb, the Mark IIC+ HRG is equally capable on stage and in the studio. For uncompromising features, iconic Mesa Boogie tone, and legendary character, this is the ultimate amp.
