Product Overview
The iconic 90s-era two-channel Dual Rectifier returns
The Dual Rectifier® Solo Head’s release in 1992 marked a new paradigm in high-gain heavy guitar. It
delivered a new voice from MESA® Engineering featuring a scooped midrange, ominous low end, and
ripping, harmonic-laden top end woven into a mighty wall of tube gain. With a feel as empowering as its
sound, the Rectifiers provided an ease of playing that supported and elevated proficiency and was
inspirational, rewarding, and addictive. Its sound and impact on the generation that used it to define what
rock music would become were as sweeping as they have been lasting. It has gone on to become one of
the most recorded and imitated tube amps ever, as well as arguably the most modeled in today’s digital
amp landscape.
With harmonic-laden gain and ominous low end, the “Recto” became the foundation for radio-worthy
songs whose main source of propulsion was huge Crunch rhythm and searing Lead or octave hooks. Its
options for tuning the sound and feel made it the go-to for anyone needing maximum width and girth
within a three-piece scenario, while its looks provided an aggressively styled backdrop.
With reverence and pride, we announce the 90s Dual Rectifier, a faithful recreation of the tube amp that
redefined high gain and provided much of the soundtrack of a generation, with some welcome upgrades
like improved cleans that enhance but don’t distract. Here’s a chance to own an original icon built by the
same artisans who built them 30 years ago and have a new amp warranty. Don’t miss out!

Highlighted Features:
• The return of a classic
The introduction of the original Dual Rectifier in 1992 ushered in a new era of high-gain amplification that
had an immense impact on the heavy musical styles that utilized this now-famous amplifier. The 90s Dual
Rectifier brings back that original classic for today’s players to enjoy.
• Dual channel simplicity
The 90s Dual Rectifier’s two channels each have separate, easy-to-understand controls, making it super
easy to dial up your perfect rhythm and lead tones.
• Patented switchable rectifiers
Unlike most amplifiers, which feature either tube or silicon diode rectification but not both, the 90s Dual
Rectifier has both tube and silicon diode rectification, allowing players to tune the sound, character, and
feel of the amp to their preferences.
• 100 Watts of robust Class A/B tube power
The 90s Dual Rectifier has plenty of power for even the largest gigs. Its Bias Select switch lets you use
