The world of Rock guitar felt a tremor in 1992 with the release of the Dual Rectifier Solo Head. It was a new voice from MESA aimed at all things heavy, featuring 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 support and elevate proficiency, which is inspirational, rewarding and addictive.

Ground breaking in feature-set and appearance as well, this diamond plate statement gathered momentum and soon ruled radio as top artists of the day utilized its menacing sound on hits destined for defining moments in Rock. Now Mesa adds the original Standard Dress to the mix for an iconic rendering of this game changing model. It features the original Black chassis, chrome speed knobs and polished aluminium Diamond Plate for a package as distinctive in look as it is in sound.

In tribute to this icon and its effect on the musical era it arose from, here’s a classic 90s Dual Rectifier Standard, giving those wanting the original Solo Head’s Vintage/Orange and Modern/Red overdrive sounds a chance to own the classic new along an improved CLEAN Mode. A flattering tribute and upgrade to one of the most iconic recorded – and modelled - tube amplifiers of the last 30 years.
