INTRODUCING THE NEW ROSETTE ™ ACOUSTIC SERIES
Few can deny the intrinsic beauty of the Acoustic Instrument, especially the
Acoustic Guitar. The visual beauty of the Tonewoods, the curvaceous shapes
and elegant lines of body styles, and the delicate artwork of inlay all coalesce in
harmonious interplay with tensioned strings to produce musical promise.
So when we at MESA® turned our eyes and ears toward amplifying these
sounds, one thing more than any other stood out as an objective; Do No Harm.
In its sincerity and perfection, there is no reason to “enhance” the sound of the
acoustic guitar, or any other acoustic instrument for that matter, but rather… just
reproduce it.
Unlike electric guitar amplifiers that offer myriad enhancements and often com-
plete re-voicings, the acoustic instrument has all the complex harmonic content it could
ever need, on-board. All that is required is the accurate reproduction of that beauty.
While staying true to the concept of Do No Harm, few products or companies seem to share this perspective for Acoustic Amplifica-
tion. And when it comes to the electronic and mechanical components and design needed to fulfill that order, it’s easier said than
done. It requires a commitment to using the absolute best components and circuit
design dedicated to uncompromising accuracy, purity of sound and the lowest
possible extraneous noise.
The ROSETTE line is a dedicated acoustic instrument platform designed not just
for acoustic guitars, but also for mandolin, ukulele, violin/fiddle, dulcimer, cello,
upright bass and other uniquely acoustic instruments.
Our reverence and appreciation for acoustic instruments guides the designs of
the Rosette Series products. Our commitment to produce innovative, reliable and
inspiring musical instrument amplification for nearly 50 years, finally includes the
incredible world of acoustic instruments. Introducing the Rosette 2x8 combo and
the Rosette DI Preamp/Pedal.
