Prepare for ignition. First launched in 1992, the MESA/Boogie® Dual Rectifier® Solo Head didn't just redefine high-gain tone on Earth — it created a seismic shift across the musical galaxy. With its scooped mids, thunderous low end, and searing, harmonic-rich highs, the original "Recto" became the propulsion system for an entire generation of rock, metal, and alt-space riffers.

Now, after orbiting the legends of tone for over three decades, the ICONIC Dual Rectifier® Reissue has re-entered the atmosphere — faithfully rebuilt by the same MESA® engineers who forged the original amp back in the early '90s.

From gritty asteroid belts to black-hole breakdowns, this reissue delivers that monolithic tube gain wall that made the Rectifier a galactic force. Its feel? Still hyper-responsive and addictively playable, giving interplanetary guitarists the tools to punch through mixes like a star cruiser through cosmic dust.

Built for modern missions but grounded in its legendary DNA, this Dual Rectifier® is ready to fulfill all your interstellar tone needs.
