[@thedude3364]

I bought my dual rectifier in 2008 and it’s the best amp I’ve ever had. Even when I’m not playing in a metal band. With 100 watts and 4 6l6’s the clean channel has TONS of clean headroom. It actually makes for a great clean pedal platform for when the dual rec’s gain is too much for a certain gig. Ever see a guy use a dual rec for a country gig? I’ve done it and it worked great!

[@officialjuanibarra]

Lets see some country vids on it!

[@ronaldvlcek9022]

If you don't play heavy metal, probably you should have opted for JP-IIC.

[@lookingjust987654321]

yeah agreed. In fact, I thought it was just 'a clean I could live with' but the recording from the gig in the audience it was _nuts_ how crazy the clean tone + slight chorus / flange really delivered. Kinda crazy - I have a 1994 dual rec (crazy I know - and I bought it new at the store when I was 19) and a 1999 ish dual rec 4x12 + TC Electronic G Major in the effects loop. That's all she wrote or needed to.

[@wharrbarg]

I have played a lot of clean stuff, even acoustic through my triple rectifier. I think it sounds good

[@Senium1]

I agree, I dont understand the hate for the rectifier cleans, its got the most depth and takes pedals especially fuzz and distortion insanely well especially when in comparison with a lot of other high gain cleans.

[@metfan4l]

Plugins are great (especially for the wallet) but there's nothing like a good amp+cab combo.

[@madmod]

I spent just $200 and got a 20w Blackstar tube head and $80 for a usa made peavey 4x12. This head replaced a 300w randall titan and did not sound smaller by any means.

[@leochinchillaa]

@@madmod how on earth did you find a peavey 4x12 for $80?? in australia i wouldnt even be able to find a peavey cabinet cover for that much

[@madmod]

@@leochinchillaa this is actually my seccond one for $80 lol. The peavey Mono-stereo or ms 300watt 4x12 cabs are made in the usa in the 90s, loaded with Sheffield's, and they are an oversize 4x12 slant cab which sounds fantastic for the money. I picked my first one up in a guitar trade on Craigslist, the seccond one was in a guitar center. Another super cheap and decent sounding cab, although very cheap feeling, is a raven rg412. I find those regularly under $100 but they handle heavier tones pretty well.

@@leochinchillaa ive got a couple vids up playing weird amps through the 4x12 if you want to hear it.

OMG this is the best tone i've heard in a while. Really impressive

[@TrumpetsInMy4x12]

The lead sound is very forgiving=Exactly what a player of my "caliber" needs to hear.

[@Swampster70]

So it's the exact opposite of the Mesa Mark V amps, especially the smaller 25 watt amp. They play it exactly as it is - every flaw, every piece of half assed playing gets amplified flawed and half assed. The little bastard makes you work for the tone!

[@rickleblanc8900]

@@Swampster70 that's what i prefer. Don't mind hearing mistakes or half assed playing, makes me wanna play better/smarter ! My first introduction to the Mark V was checking out Petrucci's settings videos, brilliant tone. That being said, this is a good-sounding tighter Rectifier tone too.

[@coffinfeeder7732]

@@Swampster70 I just thought it didn’t have enough gain on tap. I’m sure an overdrive can make them sound amazing but I wasn’t too impressed. Could be because I tried the 25w combo but eh I probably won’t be buying one anytime soon.

Thank you for messing with the knobs. I'm not really into the metal thing but loved the sound of the triple rectifier. Most demo videos just show the metal sounds of heavy bass and no mids which sounds kind of muddy to me. Showing it with the different mics was great too.

[@lordcuddlebuttz3336]

my god that amp sounds amazing 😩 the regular dual rectifier was already in my top five favourite high gain amp heads, but this new rectifier badlander just took everything i already loved about the amp and boosted the hell out of it, still has that thick low end mesa tone, but with a much tighter high end and a really suprising amount of clarity! maybe one day i’ll be able to afford it 😭

[@wmoberly]

I’m generally a Friedman guy but I picked one of these up (had a few mesas but never loved them) and this thing is incredible. Might be in the minority but my favourite tone so far for a solid rock tone is the clean channel dimed boosted with a KTR at about 2o clock gain. Amazing. And great review!!

[@ChadwBailey]

Killer demo as always Ola! I just got mine today and unboxed it on my channel. I am loving that I get awesome gain saturation without a tube-screamer. Keep doing what you do!

[@stevefall1443]

Thoroughly enjoying your videos! I had a Dual Rectifier in the mid 90s that I toured out with and sold it . Decided to jump back into the Recto world to augment my Friedman collection ( Currently enjoying my JJ mini for small club tours and recording along w Pink Taco and Dirty Shirley ). This demo crushes man! Makes me miss the old Rectos less and less . For the price of a vintage Recto with what all the pimps are asking on Reverb these days, this amp just make sense with its options for 100 50, 20 , cab sims.. and also its potential simplicity to just rock out like the 2 channel amps were. The smaller head is welcomed too! Again fantastic demo. I might grab this amp because of your video demo.

[@gab_ale]

Now that's a Rectifier I would buy.

[@massiveactionmedia]

I bought my first Mesa Triple Rec in 1994 or 95 and hated it. I switched to the Mark IV because the Rec did not have the aggressive sound out of the box I wanted for metal. The IV did the trick and Mesa was kind enough to swap the amps out for me even though at that time there was no return on the amps. My bandmate had the Dual Rec and with a compressor pedal in front, it sounded amazing but I did not want pedals. OCD made me want a very simple setup for touring. I am fixing to order this Badlander as a rack for my new setup so I appreciate you going through this amp. I love the videos and the channel bruh, you rock!

[@danwilliams3835]

I hated the triple rec as well but loved the mark iii with the built in eq

[@DomicidalCovers]

@Greg Poupon You know most cab "walls" are just for show? most of the cabs are hollow and they will only usually have 1 cab with 1 or 2 speakers actually mic'd up. Also I think some venues and bands put more effort into the headliner's sound since they're the main attraction of the night. Either way, I agree there is definitely some truth in what you're saying, I haven't seen Nevermore, but I still remember being blown away when I saw Opeth back in 2004, and I never even knew any of their songs, really great live sound.

[@DomicidalCovers]

@Greg Poupon shame really because I've heard and seen from old shows on KZbin that they were amazing live. I know how it is though because the first time I saw Megadeth, it was a small venue and it was so loud that I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all if I didn't already know the songs. Some venues are shit for certain bands and sounds I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@dougleydorite]

Most live sounds I’ve experienced were too garbled. Too loud and stereo imaging is non existent. I wear specially designed ear plugs to cut the shrill high end. Every once in a while an amphitheater will sound decent. A bit boomy and too reverberated, but wayyyyy better than clubs or other venues

[@DomicidalCovers]

@Greg Poupon To be honest, I don't blame you at all because back in 2003 when I first heard them, I was 17 and wasn't into 7 strings at all, I was heavily in my Metallica and 6-string 80's bands so I really didn't like anything about them haha. I decided to give them a shot randomly at work on my break back in 2014 I think and ended up watching the entirety of The Year of The Voyager on KZbin, Now they're one of my absolute favourite bands. I highly recommend you put that DVD up whenever you have time for some background music around the house or something, I'm so annoyed at my younger self for not giving them a proper chance 😕 really hope you get into them too! 👍

[@ianguest2011]

@@wharrbarg I find the EL34's break up easier and are smoother sounding and a bit more compressed and less harsh for leads. They definitely feel different when you play too, I find the amp is stiffer with 6L6's at lower volumes. That said on channel one of my Road King2 I always keep to EL34'S as I like my cleans without any breakup and the extra headroom helps.

I agree. It sounds a little thin for Mesa, almost solid state. Obviously has a purpose. Nailed that generic 90’s “haunted” tone, you know the one that sounds so old most people don’t listen to the record anymore. Love the songs but that tone on a modern record is kinda done and dusted. Not really that original in my eyes, doubt the clean gets anywhere near as good as a Hughes & Kettner head. I think I’ll stick to my rev pedals with Hughes. I actually think the axe fx 3 absolutely deserves a shout out on this. Obviously a review. Much better amps out there on the market, if I was using a Mesa head I would still go for a dual reco anyday, but with modern pedals.

It's a Mesa Peavey. Dual rectifier and Mark v sound the most mesa

I hate how every new review of this I find makes me just crave one. That fucking crunch channel, man.
