Mesa Boogie Rectifier Badlander 50 Watt All Tube Guitars Head
Mesa Boogie Rectifier Badlander 50 Head
The Mesa Boogie Recto 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.
