For the First Time, the Iconic 90s-era Dual Rectifier with Added Tight Mod:
The world of rock guitar felt a tremor in 1992 with the release of the Dual Rectifier Solo Head. It was a new voice from MESA aimed at all things heavy, featuring scooped midrange, ominous low end, and ripping, harmonic-laden top end woven into a mighty wall of tube gain. With a “feel” as empowering as its sound, the Rectifiers provided an ease of playing that supports and elevates proficiency, which is inspirational, rewarding, and addictive.
Groundbreaking in both its feature set and appearance, this diamond plate statement gathered momentum and soon ruled radio, as top artists of the day utilized its menacing sound on hits destined to become defining moments in rock. Now, we add the original standard dress to the mix for an iconic, yet also more affordable rendering of this game-changing model. It features the original Black chassis, Chrome Speed knobs, and polished aluminum Diamond Plate for a package as distinctive in look as it is in sound.
In tribute to this icon and its effect on the musical era it arose from, here’s a classic 90s Dual Rectifier Standard, in a one-time Limited Run featuring our Tight Mod by amp designer John Marshall. The Tight Mod is an internal Overdrive Circuit pre-set to deliver minimal overdrive and maximum level to the front end to further enhance the tightness, attack, percussiveness, and aggression.
Key Features & Unique Attributes:
- Dual Channel Simplicity – Simple, straightforward design (as compared to current 3 Channel 2010 model)
- Channel Style/Cloning - allows “cloning” of the mode voicings of either channel.
- Patented Switchable Rectifiers – Tube or Silicon Diode Rectification to tune the sound, character and feel.
- 100-Watts of robust Class A/B Tube Power – Bias Select for stock 6L6 or a swap to EL34 Tube types.
- Bold/Spongy “Variac” switch – Reduced voltage setting for increased harmonics and elastic feel
- Tight Mod – Preset Overdrive / Boost to Front End; Activated by Normal / Tight Switch next to the Gain Knob
