Mesa Boogie Rectifier Series

Mesa/Boogie Engineering–a company that specializes in making amplifiers for guitars, bass, and rock in roll fanatics… Yes, for you!

One of the most legendary amplifiers from Mesa/Boogie is the Rectifier series, which we more commonly use the term ”Recto”. The Recto was responsible for the detuned 7-string nu- and heavy-metal to fame in the nineties. It was an instrumental success to this new genre of music. Three variations of the Rectifier series which include: Single Rectifier, Dual Rectifier and (the big dogs) the Triple Rectifier. All the Rectifier series are manufactured by Mesa Engineering here in the United States.

Mesa/Boogie Single Rectifier

The Single Rectifier produces 50-watts of power and uses a silicon diode rectifier, not the actual glass valve like it’s big brother. Single Rectifier (50-watt) family include the Single Rectifier Solo Head 50, Rect-o-Verb 50 head followed by the Rect-o-Verb 50 combo; which is all fitted neatly with a single 12″ Celestion Black Shadow speaker.

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

The most popular model (and my personal favorite) of the Recto series is the Dual Rectifier Solo Head. Loaded with a Mesa Boogie Dual Recto-quartet set of Mesa 6L6 power tubes (switchable to EL34s –same as single and triple Rectifiers), the Dual Recto produces 100-watts of pure-tube-power. If you prefer a looser tube-sag tone, then all you have to do is simply flip the switch on the back panel to select the Vacuum Tube rectification mode from the Silicon Diode (see photo), this will engage the two 5U4-G Rectifier Tubes.

The Dual Rectifier originally designed as a 2 channels unit, however, in 2001 the model was redesigned to have a third channel included. Though the redesigned product had an additional channel, many people still prefer the original 2 channel as they claim that it produces a more superior sound over the redesigned version. With that said, some state that the cleans from the 3-channel are far more supior over the original 2-channel version.

Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier

And now for the BEAST, the Triple Rectifier has three 5U4G Rectifier tubes and six 6L6 power tubes, which produces a massive 150-watts output of power. The Triple rectifier was also originally designed as a 2-channel unit like it’s counterpart, but was redesigned to hold the third channel. And like the Dual Rectifier Solo Head, many still consider the original designed had a meaner sounding growl. When the Triple Rectifier was designed, it held a catchy tag line From Mesa Boogie — “When excess is barely enough”. It’s safe to say this Monster’s sheer power has more than “excess”, it will simply blow you away!

Mesa Boogie Roadster Guitar Amplifier

The new Mesa Boogie Roadster is a great sounding and versatile amp that is designed with the plug-in-and-play guitarist in mind. It is a brother to the Road King amp and is basically the same as the RK minus Mesa’s Progressive Linkage technology and some other back-panel features that some feel a player needs an advanced engineering degree to operate.

The Roadster gives less tech-friendly players a number of foot-switchable options to craft their tones with, without the anxiety of tons of power amp features they don’t understand. The Roadster’s channels one and two give up classic clean tones that can be duplicated across both channels for rhythm and lead applications. They also have TWEED and BRIT modes that work with the mid frequencies to get classic American blues and British rock sounds from clean to clipped. These two channels would make a great sounding and versatile amp all by themselves. Channels three and four offer players all the legendary tones found in Mesa’s Dual Rectifier Solo heads and contain all flavors of gain from mild to wild. Again, the sounds can be cloned across the channels for ultimate tonal control.

—————————————————————

These duplicate modes make for an amp that not only fits what the player in question is playing the day the amp is purchased, but that can be adapted to any future music that might come down the pipe. The Roadster also has 50 and 100 watt power amp modes that allow for more or less volume and tightness and needed. The reverb circuit from Mesa’s acclaimed Lonestar series is found on the Roadster, as well, putting lush, wet tones literally at the players’ fingertips.

The Roadster is available in a few different configurations that will suit any pickers’ needs. It comes as a 1×12 ported-back combo, a 2×12 closed-back combo, and as a stand-alone head that can be paired with a variety of speaker cabinets. All these different features and speaker options make for more of Mesa’s famous versatility and variety of tones without the complexity of some of their other amps. It really makes the Roadster a can’t-miss type of amp, one that can provide a home for many different players and styles that has an intuitive feel that gets users up to speed in a hurry. Those put off by the many switches and modes on other Mesa products may just find something to love with this one.
