British recto?
Milos87 26.04.2026
I could say it's an improved version of the old Recto, which it is…kind of. But it's also much more - it can be a completely different amp. It's not a typical amplifier like we're used to from American 6L6 highgain amps. It has that British dirty character, which can probably be attributed to the EL34 tubes - but in a good way. If anyone is afraid that it won't be tight enough in the low end, as we've been used to with the old versions, don't worry - they've solved that perfectly with this version.

Clean channel is also very good. Very “mesa like” clean tone :) Or can I say, very american? Yes, probably :)

Considering I'm a fan of Mesa Boogie amps, but I was never a fan of the Rectifier line - I can say that I like this amp much better.
It's not perfect (Mark series user), but it's damn good sounding amp for sure.

Der Mesa Boogie Badlander 50 hat meine Erwartungen komplett übertroffen .

Der Sound ist brutal gut 🔥🔥– richtig fett, aber trotzdem klar. Genau der Mesa-Sound, den ich gesucht habe. Super einfach einzustellen und macht einfach Spaß zu spielen. Egal ob zuhause oder laut – klingt immer mega. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen!🎸🔊🔥

Moderner, straffer Sound, super flexibel
Slack Babbath 05.04.2026
Super flexibler Zweikanaler mit jeweils sehr gutem Clean-Mode, überragendem Crunch-Mode sowie einem modern designten, straffen High-Gain-Sound mit deutlicher Rectifier-DNA, nur eben richtig tight und mit viel Punch auch ohne Booster. Alles in hoher Qualität möglich von Blues, 70er Classic Rock bis moderne Tremonti-Sounds. Für mich der bislang beste Rectifier zu einem fairen Thomann-Preis. Klarer Daumen hoch!
