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 either the stock 6L6 tubes or swap them to EL34 tubes, giving you even more tonal options.

Satisfaction evaluation

Returns

We make every effort to ensure that you are thoroughly satisfied with purchases made through Killerburst Guitars. We also understand that buying an instrument without first playing it can involve uncertainty. New, in-stock guitars purchased at regular price include a three-day satisfaction-guaranteed evaluation period.

If an instrument is not right for you, contact Killerburst within three days of receiving it to request a return authorization. Original shipping charges and any non-refundable payment-processing fees will be deducted from the refund. Return shipping and insurance are the customer’s responsibility.

Returned instruments are inspected to confirm that they are complete, unaltered and in new condition. Damage or alterations may result in a restocking fee to cover repair costs or a required markdown.

Items generally not eligible for refund

Consignment or special-order instruments, closeout or discounted items, accessories and amplifiers are not eligible for refund unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon before purchase.

In-store purchases and online orders for instruments tested in person are not eligible for cash refunds.

Built or sourced for you

Special orders

Custom guitars are a Killerburst specialty. Jon will spend the time needed to get the details right. Because custom instruments are personal and built for a specific player, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required when the order is placed, with the balance due when the instrument is complete. A custom-guitar order cannot be canceled after the builder accepts the commission.

Changes requested after an order is placed are subject to the builder’s terms and may involve additional charges or may not be accepted once the build is underway. Any non-stock item ordered specifically for you requires a non-refundable deposit and is non-cancelable and non-returnable unless explicitly agreed upon before purchase.
