Whether you need a compact 25-watt combo or a fire-breathing 100-watt head, MESA/Boogie’s Badlander™ Collection has been engineered by Randall Smith and his team in Petaluma, California, to deliver all the punch, power, and gain modern rock and metal players demand.
A tighter, meaner, and more aggressive twist on the Dual Rectifier® theme, the MESA BOOGIE Badlander Rackmount 50 Head (2.BD5X.EU.RM) was designed in response to feedback from players who wanted less mid-scoop, refined highs and lows, and some British influence with their American-voiced gain. Running direct with our proprietary CabClone™ tech, or melting faces in the front row through a 4x12 cabinet, the Badlander redefines heavy tone.
Like all Badlanders, the Badlander 50 Head packs Mesa CabClone™ IR Direct Interface making recording and cab-less live capture easy. The same collection of Rectifier® Closed-Back and Boogie® Open-Back Cabinets from our stand-alone CabClone IR are included and provide a wide array of sounds and responses. For guitarists seeking tube tone and huge sounding gain through cabs or direct, from a compact 1x12 combo that’s easy to take with you, the Rectifier Badlander 25 1x12 Combo rules!
