MESA Boogie Rectifier Badlander 50-Watt Head - Black Taurus

RECTO EVOLUTION

The Badlander™ is the latest in a long line of iconic Rectifiers® that carries the tradition of these high performance, high gain amplifiers forward with a tighter low end, more aggressive mid character and enhanced harmonic content thanks to an all new preamp and power section featuring either two or four EL34s. The Badlander stakes its own new ground and pays homage to Heavy sounds and far more, in its own distinctive, more percussive way.

NEW ATTITUDE

The Badlander™ emerges with a new voice and a new attitude that’s ready for the task of re-defining what a Rectifier® is. A Recto right for the Times and born to be as Heavy as you need it to be…Or not be. Either way, It’s not your ‘90s Recto, and regardless of the Era you came up in, the Badlander’s got serious Game reserved in your name.
