This thing is an incredible metal machine that will blow you away. Don't get caught up in the negative reviews if they wanted a dual rectifier they should buy a dual rectifier Mesa still has them in production. If you want an over the top version of a rectifier that leans towards the Mark series and is super tight then this is it.

I have played Mesa amplifiers for quite a long time; they've all been built wonderfully. This amplifier is no exception. Rock solid build quality. Two absolutely identical channels with lots of tonal variety. A transparent always on effects loop. The Cab IRs are outstanding. I use this direct to the FoH and I use my cab(s) on stage for me. The 2 complaints I have: No switch… read more off for the loop (say you have a few pedals in the loop and want to just click them off, you'll need an external solution. Not a deal breaker at all and I'd buy this amp again all day long). Second is no solo boost- this is really a minor minor gripe but I've been used to it from all of my other Mesa amps. A few moves on my board and everything is good. So about the amp- the good; amazing tones. Tight sounding. I'll play it by itself and I wonder "do I really really love it?" but then in the mix, I want to marry it. It's quickly my favorite amp. Don't be fooled by the "rectifier" brand. It is a different breed. I love this amp.
Amazing Tightness!!

Very Different tonal spectrum than the Rectifiers I've owned in the Past. Its amazingly tight!! It can also get very smooth in the Variac setting..and even smoother still if you use the Variac setting on 20 watts. I paired my Badlander 100 with the 4x12 standard size Mesa cab. It's a great amp, and I believe Mesa created something special.
Awesome amp

I've been reading on here some of you people are complaining it doesn't sound like the original it's not the original it's different if you want the original pull the 34s out put the 6L sixes back in change the speaker back to a 30 and get a tube screamer in front! Abracadabra you have the original again! this is a different voicing Amp what would be the point of remaking the same… read more original over again??
Amazing!

I found my perfect amp, great cleans, great crunch and heavy crunch. I love that it came with the el-34s. Best all round amp I've ever played!
