1989 was the fork in the road
at Mesa/Boogie. It was the year they embarked on a mission to Rectify
high gain guitar and reintroduce MESA Engineering� to the world.Since the early 70's the Boogie,, Mark Series amplifiers have been famous for their gobs of overdrive and liquid sustain, making them the choice for a solo voice. Combining this thick gain with our on board 5 Band Graphic EQ produced lethal crunch as well and these trademark sounds propelled players and MESA� into the spotlight for 20 years.Still, the music world yearned for more in our mosh. They envisioned a menacing sound with the creamy voice of a Boogie, yet with huge low end that could track faster and stay tight even under the most extreme settings. In the early dawn of the goatee and tattoo era we longed to create another classic…a statement of the times, like the mighty little Boogie of the 70's. The quest ended in the Dual & Triple Rectifier� Solo Heads and the rest is history. Ten years later, the patented Dual Rectifier� Series amplifiers continue to rock the music world.Throughout the 90's Boogie introduced several other models in this line aimed at milder gain styles and they too found their legions of devotees. Yet with hundreds of hit recordings and thousands of ecstatic customers, the Dual & Triple Solo Heads remain the mainstay of the Rectifier phenomenon.These machines of mayhem unleash all the punishing gain found in the original Rectos' two channels and add a powerful third channel dedicated to rhythm sounds. The high gain lead channels now each have an additional mode dubbed RAW that that travels the region of gain below that of the original VINTAGE mode. RAW, with its' touch sensitive response, lets you explore the heavier side of blues on up to classic rock …revealing the soulful nature of this amazing tube rectified power section.
