MESA BOOGIE Dual Rectifier Head Black

Product details

100 watts of world-class Recto tone

You know the Rectifier sound. What other amp on the planet could unite metal megastars like Kirk Hammett and Jerry Cantrell to punk princes like Tom DeLonge and Fletcher Dragge and even rock icons like Dave Grohl and Chris Cornell? The common thread: each of these artists has achieved their sound with a Mesa Rec. The Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier head gives you 100 stage-filling watts of tube-laden Recto tone and endless saturation (or headroom, if that's your thing) to sculpt your sound.

3 channels, 8 selectable modes

While the Dual Rectifier is renowned for its high-gain metal tones, thanks to three channels with eight selectable modes, it can do much, much more. Channel 1 boasts Clean and Pushed modes based on Mesa’s popular Lone Star and Mark V amplifiers, yielding sparkling cleans and throaty crunch tones. Channels 2 and 3 each feature a Raw mode, whose touch-sensitive response delves into the heavier side of blues and classic rock. Channels 2 and 3 also boast a Vintage mode for thick harmonics and liquid gain, and a Modern mode that’s chock-full of tight, gut-punching attack. It doesn’t matter what sound you’re aiming for, the Dual Recto can achieve it.

A bundle of features supplies maximum tone shaping

The Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is loaded with a variety of tone-shaping features. A Multi-Watt switch toggles the amp between an easy-clipping 50 watts and a high-headroom 100 watts. A Bias switch lets you swap the Dual Rectifier’s stock 6L6 power tubes for a set of British-style EL34s. A Rectifier Select switch on each channel toggles between a tube rectifier for a saggy, vintage feel and a tight-tracking solid-state one that’s ideal for loud clean playing and precise rhythms. You also get dual power selections, allowing you to dial in a Spongy, Variac-like performance or a Bold sound with maximum power and lots of clean headroom.
