From Soft Clip to Saturated

The Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 25 packs the glorious vintage-inspired tone of the Fillmore 50 into a compact 6V6-loaded combo amp. Enjoy everything from legendary cleans to a purring grind, courtesy of a great-sounding 12" Celestion Custom 90 speaker and two independent, footswitchable channels. Each channel boasts Drive and Hi modes; a 3-band EQ; and Gain, Presence, Reverb, and Master controls. You also get 3-mode channel cloning that supplies even more tonal possibilities. The Fillmore 25's crown jewel, however, is its super-lush all-tube, long-tank spring reverb. Beyond that, a fully buffered, series tube effects loop makes connecting your pedals and other effects a breeze. Crank up the Fillmore 25, and you'll experience super-responsive, nuanced tones that run the full gamut between soft clip and saturated.

Welcome to the Fillmore!

The Fillmore 25 was named in tribute to Bill Graham's legendary bicoastal music venues. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, these venues hosted such luminaries as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, B.B. King, King Crimson, the Allman Brothers Band, Frank Zappa, and many more. The Fillmore 25 captures the same magic dust that placed these venues in the annals of historic concert venues. So plug in and enjoy a responsive, nuanced, organic sound that's sure to inspire.

Built-in spring reverb for classic electric guitar tones

There's an incredibly sweet all-tube, long-tank spring reverb in the Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 25, and that's not even the best part. Each channel has its own reverb level, so you're not restricted to the same reverb setting for both channels.

Built in the USA to rock hard — and reliably

Mesa/Boogie has been handbuilding some of the most sought-after guitar gear in Petaluma, California, since the late '60s. Early fans of Mesa/Boogie gear include Carlos Santana and Keith Richards, guitarists whose tones have been chased by countless musicians for years. When you plug into the Fillmore 25, you're tapping into decades of innovation. The guitarists at Sweetwater appreciate the top-notch sound and construction you get in the Fillmore 25.

Sweet Vintage Tones

I am really enjoying my Fillmore 25 combo. It seems that I'm always searching for amps with beautiful clean tones and that classic vintage vibe. I like just a bit of grit now and then too and I can get both out of this amp. I set the first channel clean and the second with some drive, but nothing too gritty. I can flip between them with the included foot switch. This is an amp that does the Fender blackface tones very well. My Sales Engineer thought it might be too loud for my home studio, but I can get it down to suitable bedroom volume with no problem using the gain and master volume. I also use it through a Two Notes Captor X for direct recording and it sounds and feels just like a great tube amp should, wonderful! I haven't used it with overdrive or modulation pedals into the front of the amp, but I would imagine that those would work quite well.

The reverb is very Fender like and maxed out it gets Surf worth, overall it's very nice. I use a delay in the effects loop and that takes it further to some beautiful places.

The amp is solid, beautifully built with great fit and finish. The 12" speaker sounds great to my ears and perfectly matched with the 6V6 tubes. I think this amp is a great home amp and could easily work in smaller venues or for church services. I don't know how I missed getting this amp on my radar, but I'm am totally happy that I did. If the vintage tones of Classic Rock, Country and Jazz is your style, then I say definitely check one out!

What an amp!

First the bad news. Sweetwater sent me the wrong amp, I new something was wrong when I almost got a hernia getting it out of the box. I stared at it a minute and realized "not a Filmore 25 combo", was another MB though. A quick call to Sweetwater and me jumping through some hoops and the correct one was shipped.

I was looking at a Fender DRRI and my sales engineer Nate Kaufman suggested I look at this due the very eclectic sets we play. Well, he was spot on and it was worth the wait, I was literally blown away. The simple 2 channels setup is a game changer for me. I can't wait to get up and play it daily. For our small to medium gigs, plenty of volume and I set up a clean and drive channel and now have all the bases covered. My pedals sound great in either mode. Also, the harmonics in both the clean and drive modes are just stunning. As another reviewer said, not cheap but you get what you pay for and that is the absolute truth here. I love this amp. Also have a Fender HRD IV, Blues Cube Hot, Katana 100mk2, all great amps, but the difference compared to the MB, is like, wow. Finally, the MB F25 weighing in at 35 lbs, means no hernias.

A Multi-Facetted Diamond of an Amp!

I thought I would need two amps to get the gorgeous cleans and crispy overdrive I love. But the Fillmore 25 does both wonderfully. The cleans are naturally chimey, but can also be EQ'd to a creamy warmth for lush ambient tones. Switch to drive mode and this things growls like beast. The OD is tight and powerful for bold, commanding rock tones. All in a lightweight, portable package. Incredibly versatile!

Tone search is over

Play this with a mccarty 594 and strat. Everything I was hoping for this will be a lifetime amp for me.

Perfection.

I've spent the past 12 years with a Fender Blues Jr. Tweed Edition, which up until this year has been perfectly reliable (input jack and power tubes went within a couple months of each other). I've since fixed it up, and it will remain my backup amp for as long as it runs.

After my issues with the Blues Jr, I began a search for a slightly higher quality amp that would offer better Fender-type clean tones. I was going back and forth between a Princeton Reverb Reissue and the Deluxe Reverb Tone Master. I loved everything about the Princeton except for its lack of a gain setting (as I would be playing at home and mostly without pedals), and loved everything about the Tone Master except the fact that I would be paying $900 for a Chinese made solid state amp.

I was getting to the point where I was convinced that the Princeton Reissue was going to be the amp that I was going to buy, when I somehow came across the Fillmore 25. I literally discovered this amp the day before buying it, and I'm so very glad that I did.

The best way that I can describe it is a combination of a Princeton and Deluxe Reverb, with the addition of a gain knob and various gain modes. It is lacking tremolo that most high end Fender amps have, but makes up for that with a tube buffered effects loop in the back.

The gain knob combined with gain modes makes it easy to dial in any tone at any volume - even bedroom level rock tones sound great.

The amp has 3 modes: Clean, Drive, and Hi (Gain). The amp also has 2 identical channels, which at first I didn't quite get the point of, but it's really a brilliant design. The use has nearly endless possibilities of configurations, the most common being clean on channel 1 and some level of drive / gain on channel 2. The channels are selected either via a front panel switch or the supplied foot switch.

The best way to describe how the 3 modes of Clean / Drive / Hi function is to consider each mode as a continuation of the gain dial. If one can assume that the gain dial goes from 1-10, then Drive at 1 would roughly equal clean at 8, and Hi at 1 would roughly equal Drive at 8...if that makes sense.

The spring reverb controls are at the back of the amp and have separate controls for each channel. The reverb can also be activated/deactivated by an aftermarket foot switch. The reverb, to my ears, sounds perfect in a traditional Fender sort of way. It even functions well when a higher gain signal is pushed through it.

Overall, Mesa really hit it out of the park with this amp. It's more expensive than any Fender amp of this size / build type, but it's also a setup up in quality, and should hold value and last for many, many years.

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
