MESA BOOGIE Badlander 25 Combo
Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers are renowned for their tight, muscular lows, hard-hitting mids, and sweet, singing highs. Mesa's newest Recto, the Badlander, includes a streamlined feature set, baked-in cutting-edge technology, and — most importantly — 25 watts of fire-breathing Rectifier tone. This guitar combo amplifier comes loaded with a 12-inch Celestion Creamback 65 speaker, which yields brawny low-end grunt, warm lower mids, crunchy upper mids, and sweet highs. Three selectable modes enable you to configure each channel for an array of sounds, while a 2-way power reduction switch makes achieving cranked-up tones at bedroom levels easy. This Recto supplies you with the usual EQ controls for fine-tuning your sound. You also get a built-in CabClone IR, a serial effects loop, a headphone output, and a 1-button footswitch. So what are you waiting for? Plug into the Mesa Rectifier Badlander and experience its pure legendary power!
2 channels, 3 selectable modes: plenty of tones
Like previous Recto iterations, the Rectifier Badlander is renowned for its high-gain metal tones. That said, thanks to two channels with three selectable modes, it can do much, much more. Each channel includes 3-mode Channel Cloning, with Clean, Crunch, and Crush modes, plus independent Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, and Master controls. It doesn't matter what sound you're aiming for — sparkling clean, throaty crunch, or gut-punching high gain — the Badlander can achieve it.
Essential player-friendly features
The Mesa Rectifier Badlander is loaded with a variety of player-friendly features. A 2-way power reduction switch toggles the amp between an easy-clipping 10 watts and a club-friendly 25 watts. Got pedals? Who doesn't? That's why this Recto includes a fully buffered, tube-driven, series effects loop for your pedalboard and other external processing.
Built-in CabClone IR offers top-shelf cabinet simulations
Parked in front of a live audience or DI'd into your DAW, the Recto Badlander enables you to dispense with microphones and all the complications that come with them, by virtue of its built-in CabClone IR. This reactive load box and IR cabinet simulator includes eight dynamic- and ribbon-mic'd cabinet impulse responses, plus it gives you the ability to upload third-party IRs. With the Badlander, you'll benefit from limitless cab combinations for unprecedented tone crafting. Take it onstage to dial up cranked amp tones at venue-appropriate volumes. Use it in the studio to get perfect-sounding guitar recordings. Or, plug into the Recto's headphones output for silent practice sessions that sound like a mic'd amp.
