Mesa Boogie 90s Triple Rectifier Amp Head - Black Bronco

Accept no imitations or limitations—this is the amp that has been dominating and reinventing the sound of modern rock and heavy music for over 33 years

It’s fair to say that no amplifier has made a greater impact on the sound of modern guitar, and certainly heavy styles, than the MESA Dual Rectifier® Solo Head. That statement gets an exclamation point when speaking of its high-power sibling, the Triple Rectifier® Solo Head.

Since their release in 1992, these two amplifiers have dominated, if not reinvented, the sound of rock guitar and birthed entire genres whose creators used their walls of crushing high gain for detuned Crunch rhythm and Bass lines that became the soundtrack for a generation. Now, thirty-plus years later and on the heels of the 90s 2-Channel Dual Rectifier’s exciting return to production, we reintroduce the mighty Triple Rectifier, bringing back the model that’s always been perfect for when excess is barely enough.

Dressed in previously custom, now standard blackout chassis, black Speed knobs, and black Diamond Plate, this most powerful of Rectifiers is as menacing looking as it is sounding. Around back, the additional Rectifier and power tubes create a wall of glowing glass that forewarns of the sonic impact about to be unleashed with a flick of the Standby switch. This Triple’s layered harmonics, tight low end, and percussive mid hit are delivered with all the authority and impact of the original 90s build, and it serves up this huge, high-gain footprint like no other amplifier before or since.

Experience this bona fide rock icon built by the same artisans who handcrafted the first run of Triple Recs over 30 years ago. You’ll find all the same performance in a solid new build backed by MESA’s comprehensive 5-Year Warranty. Why search for a road-worn relic with aged parts and/or a questionable past when you can attain a brand-new original with even better performance and log the miles yourself?
