Mesa/Boogie Rectifier

thumb|right|Mesa/Boogie Rectifier The Mesa/Boogie Rectifier series is a line of guitar amplifiers made by California-based manufacturer Mesa/Boogie. Introduced in 1992, the line's first model was the Dual Rectifier, which is often described as the definitive amp of rock music in the 1990s for its widespread use across multiple rock genres in the decade after its release. The Dual Rectifier, alongside its more powerful sibling the Triple Rectifier, is characterized by its "raw, aggressive bass-heavy" tone, as well as its industrial aesthetic, and its success led to Mesa/Boogie releasing an extensive line of Rectifier-branded amps. Quotes about the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier From its beginnings in 1970, Mesa/Boogie was beloved for its small-but-powerful Mark series amps; in 1989, however, the company decided to take its game to a new audience. The result was the Rectifier range of bigger and beefier Dual and Triple Rectifier amps. Since then, the Dual Rectifier has become one of the most popular rock amps on the planet. Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020) The Multi-Watt Dual (and indeed Triple) Rectifiers neatly encompass all that is great about the Mesa/Boogie heritage. Don Stick of MusicRadar (April 26, 2019) MusicRadar It's an absolute beast of an amp, featuring three channels and some serious tone-shaping options. David Slavković of Ultimate-Guitar (July 23, 2021) Inspired by amps like Soldano’s SLO (itself derived from earlier Mark Series Boogies) the bigger, brasher Rectifier range redefined high gain in the ‘90s, inspiring a wall-of-sound approach that dominated guitar music for over a decade. Don Stick of MusicRadar (April 26, 2019) MusicRadar There's probably not a genre that Dual Rectifier can't handle.
