Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Badlander 25-watt 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo
Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Badlander 25-watt 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo Reviews
Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers are renowned for their tight, muscular lows, hard-hitting mids, and sweet, singing highs. Mesa's newest Recto, the Badlander, includes a streamlined feature set, baked-in cutting-edge technology, and — most importantly — 25 watts of fire-breathing Rectifier tone. This guitar combo amplifier comes loaded with a 12-inch Celestion Creamback 65 speaker, which yields brawny low-end grunt, warm lower mids, crunchy upper mids, and sweet highs. Three selectable modes enable you to configure each channel for an array of sounds, while a 2-way power reduction switch makes achieving cranked-up tones at bedroom levels easy. This Recto supplies you with the usual EQ controls for fine-tuning your sound. You also get a built-in CabClone IR, a serial effects loop, a headphone output, and a 1-button footswitch. So what are you waiting for? Plug into the Mesa Rectifier Badlander and experience its pure legendary power!

Amp
This amp is incredible. The cleans are fabulous and the crush is all I could ask for. Crunch is great also. I keep wondering what took me so long to discover Mesa!!! Thanks to Randy Poteete for being the best person on staff. Ill say one thing…. I never met an effects loop I liked…. Until now.
Very bright and few cleans
This amp is decent, but has almost no cleans at reasonable volume even with low output humbuckers. Plus all the channels seriously lack low end. Overdrive sounds are good overall, especially on channel one, but very bright.
This amp really needs a 4x12 cabinet to really work.
Great combo amp!
Admittedly, this is the first tube amp I've purchased, but I really enjoy it. Great tones in all three modes, sounds great with my pedalboard, and really straightforward to setup and get the sound I want. Having the ability to setup each channel in any mode adds a lot of versatility. As you'd expect with a Mesa, it's really well built too. The CabClone IR and headphone output are icing on the cake.
Mesa Badlander 25
So far I'm loving this little amp. Light, versatile and plenty loud. Very responsive to my playing, and made in USA.
Thanks to Aaron and Sweetwater for the usual above and beyond service!
