Mesa Boogie 100W 90s Dual Rectifier 2-Channel Amplifier Head in Black Bronco Chrome

Here's what Mesa say:

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.

With reverence and pride, we announce 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. 

Key Features

• Dual Channel Simplicity – Simple, straightforward design for ease of use and great tone fast
• Channel Style/Cloning – Allows “cloning” of the mode voicings of either channel
• Patented Switchable Rectifiers – Tube or silicon diode rectification to tune the sound, character, and feel
• 100 Watts of Robust Class A/B Tube Power – Bias Select switch for stock 6L6 tubes or a swap to EL34 tubes
• BOLD/SPONGY “Variac” Switch – Reduced voltage setting for increased harmonics and elastic feel

The Legendary Rectifier Sound

With harmonic-laden gain and ominous low end, the “Recto” 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 three-piece scenario, while its looks provided an aggressively styled backdrop.
