Mesa Boogie Carbine M6 Head

TONE IS TONE BY ANY NAME....

You may have known this amplifier under its previous name ...THE FATHOM.

That name was registered with another manufacturer outside the MI industry. Being the family company that we are, rather than seek conflict – we forged ahead.

THE M6 CARBINE.....

This is the same Trans-Class™ ultra-fast, super-soulful amplifier that has had so many bassists reconsidering their Tone

The CARBINE expands the MESA Family of Bass amplifiers with an exciting new voice that’s super fast and extremely focused! The output section relies on the same time- proven array of custom designed mosfets used in our M-Pulse, Big Block and Titan models, but the preamp and driver section are all new creating a very different feel and attitude.

Up front the tube preamp utilizes a standard tone control string of Bass, Mid and Treble to shape the basic sound, but the shaping power doesn’t stop there. There is a PULL DEEP feature found on the Bass control that keeps the low end tight and articulate when pushed in or, enhances the sub-lows and adds super-top air when pulled out.
