The World-famous Dual Recto

Plug into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, and you're in for the kind of massive tone you've only dreamed of. This 100-watt, all-tube amp head is a true firebreather, and it eclipses its predecessors by adding a third channel for thick, chunky rhythms to complete your tonal palette. Eight selectable modes enable you to configure each channel for an array of sounds, while a Multi-Watt switch makes achieving cranked-up tones at bedroom levels easy. What’s more, in addition to the usual EQ controls, you also get a Rectifier Select switch and dual power selections for fine-tuning your sound. Like the vintage Rectos of yore, the modern Dual Rectifier delivers mammoth metal tones. But that’s just the beginning — it can achieve nearly any tone you imagine. So what are you waiting for? Experience the pure power of a legend for yourself — play through a Dual Rectifier!

3 channels, 8 selectable modes: endless tones

While the Dual 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 Dual Recto can achieve it.
