Mesa Boogie Triple Crown TC-100 Head (Black/Carbon)

The Mesa/Boogie Triple Crown TC-100 is built for players who refuse to compromise. Three channels take you from pristine clean to high-gain saturation heavy enough to satisfy the most devoted gain hound, in a 100 watt head that is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in the bedroom. The Black/Carbon finish gives it a dark, serious look to match.

Three Independent Channels

Every channel has its own Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, and Master controls, plus a two-position mode switch. Channel 1 is the clean channel, with Normal or Drive modes. Channel 2 is low gain, with Normal (crunch) or Tight modes. Channel 3 is the high gain channel, with Normal or Tight modes. That’s six voicings in all, with a tube-driven spring reverb adjustable from the back panel.

Multi-Soak Power Control

Nothing has the grunt and kick of a 100 watt head, and the Triple Crown tames it with the flick of a switch. Every channel has its own Multi-Soak attenuator with five power settings: 100, 50, 20, 7, and 3 watts. That multiplies the versatility of each channel many times over, from full-power headroom on stage to low-power clip-ability at home.

Switchable Power Tubes

The head runs EL34, 6L6, or 6V6 power tubes (4x EL34 as standard) with a bias select switch, so you can sculpt your tone and feel with a flick. Loading 6V6 tubes cuts the amp’s wattage in half. The preamp uses six 12AX7s and one 12AT7.

Studio and Stage Features

The built-in CabClone DI output offers closed back, open back, and vintage cabinet simulations, with an internal amp load, a headphone output, and an uncompensated line (slave) output. MIDI control with 256 presets handles channels, reverb, FX loop, and solo, and a fully buffered series FX loop keeps your effects clear. A global output level, a global solo level, and footswitch control of channels, solo, FX loop, and reverb round it out, and two speaker jacks with a 4/8 ohm switch make cab pairing simple.
