Get the JNCOs and flannels out because Mesa Boogie went back to the future with the release of the 90s Dual Rectifier that combined the best parts of the F & Rev G amps and created a modern monster. The 100W tonezilla has two channels (now with their "cloning" so you can Vintage or Modern Modes on either channel, patented switchable rectifiers (tube or silicon diode), and of course, they're using 6L6s.

Mayones is a dealer devilishly dashing instruments and they did not disapoint with the introduction of their Duvell DT6 & DT7 models that strip back away some of their high-end appointments to briing the guitar into a more-obtainable price point. That being said, don't be fooled, these shredders still rip and are handmade in Poland at the same small shop. These two feature a swamp ash body, a 5-ply maple-wenge neck, blackheart fretboard, TUSQ nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, and a single Velvetrone Ironside & Solium 7 pickups. (Each model has pickups made to their spec based on 6- or 7-string configuration.)
