The Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Multi Watt seems like an odd choice if you were buying an amp now. The new Badlander is on the way. But does the Dual Rec as shown here make sense? Find out in this inside and out review.

Throughout the review I cover just about everything and you won't have seen a review like this from other channels. You will see the quality and time that has gone in to this amp from Mesa Boogie. I also demo the tones of the amp and have a rock/metal track at the end to show some of the great guitar tones you can get from one of these. I also sum up the Mesa Boogie Badlander in a way that has not been mentioned by others. And will the buyout by Gibson affect the quality of these amps?

This amplifier was bought by me personally - an ordinary user of this amp and I was not given anything - it's a totally genuine review of what I bought and I show exactly what you get with this guitar amp head. As an ordinary user my experience with this amp might be just like yours!

And PLEASE do subscribe and thumbs up - it costs me dearly to make these in depth videos and I could do with some support... I hope you don't mind me asking because like most YT channels 80% of viewers are not subscribers! Come on guys... I need some support! It would be sad for me to not bother through lack of support.
