Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier 25 25W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black 194744632440

The Mini Rectifier 25 is not a trendy down-line toy or marketing-derived imitation of Mesa/Boogie's Recto. It's a real deal, high-end, handmade all-tube amplifier. - Lurking within the Mini Rectifier's expensive metal chassis, lies one of Mesa/Boogie's most expressive and nuance-enhancing circuits to date, creating an exciting, adrenaline-producing tone machine.

Like its original two-channel forefathers, this Mini version keeps things straight ahead and easy to navigate with two footswitchable channels that each contain two modes. While it looks basic and drives easy, a world of stylistic versatility lives within these two simple rows of controls. - Two Channels and Four Versatile Style Modes - Two independent channels and four style modes deliver everything from sparkling cleans to aggressive fury.

The Mini Rectifiers Channel 1 focuses on rhythm sounds, both clean and overdriven.

It has a looser, more organic sound, and the overdrive drapes itself around the notes to create a huge, three-dimensional image.

- Vintage solo work is further enhanced by the 10-watt power position. Here, the attack envelope changes and becomes rounder and more voice-like, while upper harmonics recede slightly to create single-note sounds of true beauty. Vintage and 10-watt compliment each other in ways that will open new doors for the Recto that were previously only available to more well-behaved or "cultured" amps, as well as surprising current big-power Recto owners who experience for the first time what this power range/wiring style does for a sound they had typecast.

- Modern is the opposite in every way. This aggressive mode comes right at youmaybe even for youwith stunning attack and a hi-mid bump that keeps things percussive and tracking with hyper accuracy. Suffice to say, Modern is about all things heavy and metal.

And while this sound is best demonstrated using the 25-watt power setting, using the 10-watt power setting lets you swee
