I agree but I usually drop the Boogie now. Some amps used to say Boogie. My 5:50 doesn't. I'd like to know the distinction. The word Boogie doesn't sound very metal so I guess it would look funny on a Rectifier, maybe that's when they decided all Mesas weren't Boogies, not sure.Seems to me like most people refer to the company as "Mesa Boogie" regardless of which amp they are talking about. If Mesa is trying to make some kind of distinction between "Boogie" and non-Boogie amp models, the message is getting lost.
That's because all they made in the early days was the Boogie line so it stuck. If you look at their line today and in past models, the majority have not been Boogie's and the distinction is pretty clear. LoneStar, Heartbreaker, Maverick, Rectifier series, TA series, Road King, etc and their bass amps were never called Boogies. Same reason that many people call any cola a Coke, It was the first and it stuck.Seems to me like most people refer to the company as "Mesa Boogie" regardless of which amp they are talking about.

Um, I'm confused? Is there a specific and tangible detail that makes one of Randall Smith's offering a Mesa versus a Boogie? You named off all these recent amps as not being Boogies - but I thought that most of the newer amps Randall has created had been heavily influenced by his earlier amps that held the Boogie moniker? I'm confused. I thought essentially all of Mesa's amps were Boogies and Mesa's and that the name was interchangeable. I thought the only reason they had the Mesa Engineering title was due to the company first being dubbed that my Randall when he was a repair man. No?That's because all they made in the early days was the Boogie line so it stuck.

"Boogie" amps are Mark series amps. So far as I know the term has never been applied to a non-Mark amp... although Mesa's had a lot of amps over the years so I could be wrong.Um, I'm confused? Is there a specific and tangible detail that makes one of Randall Smith's offering a Mesa versus a Boogie?

Somedude has given the right explanation."Boogie" amps are Mark series amps. So far as I know the term has never been applied to a non-Mark amp...
All other series are typically fitted with a Mesa Engineering logo somewhere on the amp (front and/or back, depending upon space).
All Boogies are Mesas, but not all Mesas are Boogies.
Boogie Mark I, Boogie Mark II, Boogie Mark III, Boogie Mark IV, Boogie Mark V.
