Three Channel
Dual Rectifier®
1989 was the fork in the road here at
Mesa/Boogie®. It was the year we embarked on a
mission to Rectify high gain guitar and
reintroduce MESA Engineering® to the world.
Since the early 70's the Boogie™ Mark Series
amplifiers have been famous for their gobs of
overdrive and liquid sustain, making them the
choice for a solo voice. Combining this thick
gain with our on board 5 Band Graphic EQ
produced lethal crunch as well and these
trademark sounds propelled players and MESA into
the spotlight for 20 years.
Still, we yearned for more in our mosh. We
envisioned a menacing sound with the creamy
voice of a Boogie, yet with huge low end that
could track faster and stay tight even under the
most extreme settings. In the early dawn of the
gotee and tattoo era we longed to create another
classic…a statement of the times, like the
mighty little Boogie of the 70's. Our quest
ended in the Dual & Triple Rectifier® Solo Heads
and the rest is history. Ten years later, the
patented Dual Rectifier® Series amplifiers
continue to astonish us with their success.
Throughout the 90's we introduced several
other models in this line aimed at milder gain
styles and they too found their legions of
devotees. Yet with hundreds of hit recordings
and thousands of ecstatic customers, the Dual &
Triple Solo Heads remain the mainstay of the
Rectifier phenomenon.
So it is with reverence, pride and
excitement we introduce the Newest Rectos®…The
Three-Channel Solo Heads!
These new machines of mayhem unleash all the
punishing gain found in the original Rectos' two
channels and add a powerful third channel
dedicated to rhythm sounds. The high gain lead
channels now each have an additional mode dubbed
RAW that that travels the region of gain below
that of the original VINTAGE mode. RAW, with
its' touch sensitive response, lets you explore
the heavier side of blues on up to classic rock
…revealing the soulful nature of this amazing
tube rectified power section.
With these 3 new versatile channels, 8
incredible modes, the new SOLO feature, a
Programmable & Footswitchable Effects Loop and a
new stage-ready 5 Button Footcontroller , the
new Dual and Triple Solo Heads are
pure-bread, gain-wielding beasts…destined for
the same iconic status bestowed upon their
predecessors.
