MESA/Boogie has officially reintroduced the 90s Triple Rectifier Solo Head, one of the most formidable high-gain amplifiers ever built. First unleashed in 1992 as the high-powered sibling to the legendary Dual Rectifier, the Triple Rectifier helped define the crushing tones that shaped modern rock and metal throughout the decade and beyond. Now reissued with modern manufacturing precision, the amp delivers the same thunderous performance that made it so influential.
Why it matters
The return of the 90s Triple Rectifier Solo Head is significant for guitar players and gear enthusiasts, as it represents the revival of an iconic amplifier that played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of heavy music. The reissue allows a new generation of musicians to experience the amp's signature high-gain tones and provides a rare opportunity to own a brand-new version of this sought-after model.
The details
The 90s Triple Rectifier Solo Head is a 150-watt, Class A/B, all-tube powerhouse running six MESA 6L6 power tubes with a maintenance-free fixed-bias design. It features a trio of 5U4GB rectifier tubes and selectable Tube or Silicon Diode rectification, allowing players to tailor the amp's response. Two fully independent channels provide classic Rectifier flexibility, with Channel 1 'Orange' offering pristine cleans or Variable High Gain 'Vintage' tones, and Channel 2 'Red' handling the amp's aggressive high-gain duties. A tube-driven series FX loop and external switching for channel selection and loop engagement are also included.
- The 90s Triple Rectifier Solo Head was first introduced in 1992.
- The reissue of the 90s Triple Rectifier Solo Head is a limited production run.
