I had a great time visiting the Mesa Boogie factory in Petaluma, California. Life is full of surprises… 35 years after I got my Boogie MK II-C I met Mike Bendinelli who actually built my amp back then. Isn’t that amazing!? I still have that amp and it works just fine. Thanks Mike!
I also had an opportunity to tour Mesa Boogie and it started with one of the few automated machines they have, which is quite awesome. It hold strips of resistors and somehow places them on the circuit boards. The entire experience was mind-blowing.
