Mesa/Boogie Upgrades the Dual Rectifier

Mesa/Boogie Upgrades the Dual Rectifier

Hand-crafted in Petaluma, California, this amp features upgrades while maintaining the original's legendary tone.


The Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Headā€™s arrival in 1992 was a watershed moment for alternative rock and metal that changed everything; heavy music would never sound the same again, and the Dual Rectifierā€™s crushing, harmonically rich tone became the most sought-after guitar sound of the era. 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. And it remains arguably the most modeled in todayā€™s digital amp landscape. Now, the 90s Dual Rectifier is back with a vengeance, built in Petaluma, California, by the same artisans who made the originals the most desirable high-gain guitar amplifier of all time.
