As there is a new member in the Rectifier family the Mesa Badlander, would be nice to have it in the Axe.
It's basically another rectifier..
Not basically, thats exactly what it is lol. Pretty sure its a factory boosted dual from what ive read. Doesnt seem too complicated with the ideal tab IMO.
Has anyone heard any good clips of this amp? I keep searching, but every time I hear one it just sounds congested and uninspiring. None of the demo players seem that stoked about it either.
Cosmetics aren’t everything, but the Boss knobs kinda bug me and makes it look cheap. I wish they would reissue the old 2-Channel Dual Rec. Those things are flat out mean and feel incredible.
bummed they took out the tube rectifier
But having two switchable rectifier types is literally why they're called "Dual Rectifiers".It makes zero sense to use tube rectifiers in 2020. If an amp designer wants sag, they can just throw in a wirewound resistor. The response will be identical, and it costs about a buck, much less than that in quantity.

I guess that's why the Badlander is just "Mesa Rectifier" now
Pretty sure dual was nomenclature for wattage, not the type of rectifier. Remember there is the single, dual, triple, tremoverb, rectoverb, roadster, roadking, subway, blues and now the badlander.
