The Infamous, Iconic Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier

If you’re searching for massive tone, plug into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier — it’s jam-packed with 150 watts of red hot, paint-peeling tone. This 3-channel, all-tube firebreather delivers the classic Mesa high-gain voice, but that’s just the beginning. Eight selectable modes enable you to coax an array of sounds out of each channel, while a Multi-Watt switch makes achieving cranked-up tones easy — at any volume. You get the standard complement of EQ controls, along with a Rectifier Select switch, dual power selections, and a Bias switch for fine-tuning your sound. Get the tone of some of your favorite bands, such as Blink-182, Metallica, Buckethead, and many more. So what are you waiting for? Experience the pure power of a legend for yourself — plug into a Triple Recto!

3 channels, 8 selectable modes: endless tones

While the Triple Rectifier is renowned for its high-gain metal tones, thanks to three channels with eight selectable modes, it can do much, much more. Channel 1 boasts Clean and Pushed modes based on Mesa’s popular Lone Star and Mark V amplifiers, yielding sparkling cleans and throaty crunch tones. Channels 2 and 3 each feature a Raw mode, whose touch-sensitive response delves into the heavier side of blues and classic rock. Channels 2 and 3 also boast a Vintage mode for thick harmonics and liquid gain, and a Modern mode that’s chock-full of tight, gut-punching attack. It doesn’t matter what sound you’re aiming for, the Triple Recto can achieve it.

A bundle of features supplies maximum tone shaping

The Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier is loaded with a variety of tone-shaping features. A Multi-Watt switch toggles the amp between an easy-clipping 50 watts and a high-headroom 150 watts. A Bias switch enables you to swap the Triple Rectifier’s original 6L6 power tubes for a set of British-style EL34s. A Rectifier Select switch on each channel toggles between a tube rectifier for a saggy, vintage feel and a tight-tracking solid-state one that’s ideal for loud clean playing and precise rhythms. You also get dual power selections, allowing you to dial in a Spongy, Variac-like performance or a Bold sound with maximum power and lots of clean headroom.

Mesa/Boogie's warranty: the best in the business

Your new Mesa/Boogie amp is protected by Mesa/Boogie's transferable warranty: five years on the electronics, three years for speakers, and six months for tubes.

Ultra High Gain Insanity

My biggest regret was selling my old Dual Rec 20 years ago. Just got the updated 2023 Multi Watt triple. 5-year warranty and hand-wired in California. Noiseless with a razor-sharp tone. This thing will eat your babies. Avoid amps from places and people you've never heard of, jump to the front of the line with one of these and you'll never look back. Sweetwater and Mesa are the best, worth the wait.

Biggest Sounding Amp Ever!

Been wanting this amp for years and when it finally came in I couldn't believe it. I opened the packaged and knew it was worth EVERY penny! The quality alone blows most other amp companies out of the water. We all know this legendary tone so do I really need to tell how great it sounds. It's crushing, chug worthy, sounds like a huge wall, angry, crips and clean. The cleans aren't the greatest but not as bad has everyone says but still if your buying this amp it's not for the cleans. Just do yourself a favor and buy this amp. You won't be disappointed!

Versatile Amp

Talk about versatile. This amp is killer. I have had it a few weeks now and have not even begun to stretch it to its full potential. There are many sounds that I have yet to experience. That being said, I have found sounds that I love. The richness of the tube sound is quite evident. Punchy yet smooth. Pitch your reverb units, because you won’t need them anymore. Any sound from vintage 60’s to hardcore rock and roll. Bottom line…………..cool as hell.

Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier (Diamond Plate Grille)

There's really nothing to not like. This is a cumulation of technology Mesa has been fine tuning for the last 20+ years and packed all the advancement in this head. They have given you a serial effects loop that will function well with all your digital effects, multi watt switches, tube tracking and dozens of other features for you to tweak for days. Solid, well built and should give years of reliable service.
Music background: 20+ years playing and living the guitar.

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
