3-channel amplifier top section with flexible 100 Watt power amplifier
The Mesa Boogie Triple Crown TC-100 represents Mesa's vision of a modern Rock . The 3-channel powerhouse presents itself as a true all-rounder and, with its flexible power amplifier including "Multi Soak" Attenuator and BIAS switch, invites you to experiment with different power tube setups. The three channels of the Triple Crown TC-100 cover the classic metiers of the electric guitar and convince with full and crackling cleans up to the ultra-tighten Rock crunch and High Gain sound in the usual Mesa manner.
The Mesa Boogie Triple Crown TC-100 features Multi Soak power reduction, which can be individually adjusted for each channel.
EL34, 6L6 or 6V6?
If the EL34s installed ex works do not sound fat enough to you, you can easily replace them with tubes of type 6L6 for American voicings with the next tube change and adjust the tube bias by means of a toggle switch. The EL34 setting also allows the use of slightly warmer sounding and faster breaking 6V6 tubes. In addition, the Mesa Boogie Triple Crown TC-100 is equipped with "Multi Soak" power reduction, which is individually adjustable for each channel and provides five power levels between 3 watts and 100 watts.
Tube Reverb & CabClone D.I.
Of course, the famous Mesa all-tube Reverb effect is also used in triple Crown mode for all 3 channels and can either be permanently activated, switched via footswitch or controlled via MIDI programs. The well-known XLR connector for Mesa's CabClone D.I. loadbox with speaker simulation is also available with the TC-100. When using CabClone, the connected loudspeaker can be deactivated for silent recordings via SPEAKER ON/OFF.
he rear panel of the Triple Crown TC-100 includes CabClone D.I. Out, MIDI interface and Reverb level controls for all 3 channels.
Effect loop & MIDI
Of course, the Triple Crown is ideally equipped for modern Studio and stage environments and, thanks to its MIDI interface, allows the precise programming and switching of a wide variety of sounds. For this purpose, 256 preset slots are available for editing channel selection, setting, Reverb effect or effect loop, which can simply be saved using the STORE switch on the back. Last but not least, a switchable serial effects loop provides the possibility to use effects between preamp and power amplifier.
