The Dual Rectifier Solo Head's release in 1992 marked a new paradigm in high-gain heavy guitar. It delivered a new voice from MESA Engineering, featuring a scooped midrange, ominous low end, and ripping, harmonic-laden top end woven into a mighty wall of tube gain. With a "feel" as empowering as its sound, the Rectifiers provided an ease of playing that supported and elevated proficiency and was inspirational, rewarding, and addictive. Its sound and impact on the generation that used it to define what rock music would become were as sweeping as they have been lasting. It has gone on to become one of the most recorded and imitated tube amps ever, as well as arguably the most modeled in today's digital amp landscape.
The Recto's layered gain and huge low end became the foundation for radio-worthy songs whose main source of propulsion was huge Crunch rhythm and searing Lead or octave hooks. Its options for tuning the sound and feel made it the go-to for anyone needing maximum width and girth within a 3-piece scenario, while its looks provided an aggressively styled backdrop.
With reverence and pride, Mesa/Boogie created the '90s Dual Rectifier, a faithful recreation of the tube amp that redefined high gain and provided much of the soundtrack of a generation, with some welcome upgrades like improved cleans that enhance but don't distract. Here's a chance to own an original icon built by the same artisans who built them 30 years ago and have a new amp warranty. Don't miss out!
