Emerging from decades of innovation at Mesa\/Boogie, this amplifier represents the refinement of high-gain tube design combined with musical responsiveness and studio-grade tonal clarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMesa\/Boogie was founded in the late 1960s by Randall Smith in Southern California, originally as a repair-focused workshop servicing small Fender amplifiers. His early modifications—particularly increasing gain and sustain in low-wattage combos—quickly gained attention from influential players including Keith Richards and Carlos Santana. This collaboration eventually evolved into one of the most important artist relationships in modern amplifier design, culminating in signature-level creations such as this King Snake model, which even features handwritten signatures from both Smith and Santana on an internal plaque.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, the King Snake delivers a deeply musical and highly versatile response. It is designed to sound full and balanced in any setting, with rich low-end control, articulate mids, and a smooth, singing top end. The amp avoids muddiness or flubby bass even at higher gain levels, allowing the tone-shaping controls to function as creative tools rather than corrective ones. Its onboard reverb adds a lush, studio-like ambience, enhancing sustain and giving lead tones a polished, dimensional quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis amplifier is capable of exceptional volume and headroom, yet remains highly controllable thanks to its three-way power switching system, offering 10-watt, 60-watt, and 100-watt operation. This allows everything from saturated, harmonically rich breakup at lower wattage to powerful, stadium-level clean headroom when required. At reduced power settings, the amp delivers the singing sustain and expressive dynamics closely associated with Carlos Santana’s signature tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mesa Boogie King Snake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Snakeskin covering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 × 6L6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 × 12AX7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannels\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mesa Boogie Fillmore KS 100 (100-watt speaker)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube amplifier combo\/head (format not specified)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43 × 48 × 26 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.4 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838932803903,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G72677367","price":3897.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Mesa_Boogie_King_Snake_-_USA_2014.jpg?v=1782094881","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/mesa-boogie-king-snake-usa-2014","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
