The AmpliTube mesa Black Friday deal is 50% off, so the collection costs $49.99 until Nov 11, 2026. It's a gear collection for AmpliTube Custom Shop that adds five officially licensed MESA/Boogie amps and five matching cabinets.
The maker says the range runs from the long, violin-like sustain of the Mark series to the heavy crunch and searing gain of the Rectifier series. IK Multimedia also says each model was checked and approved by MESA Engineering, the people who created the originals.
You get five amps, each paired with a cabinet:
The maker says front and back panel controls are both replicated, so the amps respond to the same settings as the hardware.
The models run on IK's DSM technology, and the pack plugs into the Custom Shop as an add-on collection.
You don't need a previous version of AmpliTube, and the maker says it works with the new Custom Shop updates.
The maker points to the company's cascading tube preamp. Multiple gain stages gave players sustain and crunch that could be set apart from volume.
IK also notes that the Mark II, released in 1980, was the first Dual Mode footswitching amp. Later Mark amps brought in switchable power reduction, effects loops, switchable rectifiers and on-board graphic EQ.
The artist list in IK's text includes Carlos Santana, Pete Townshend, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, John Petrucci and Dave Grohl.
