Mesa Boogie Rectifier Badlander 50 | Head
Dual 3-Mode Channels - All-Valve - CabClone - Variac Power
The MESA/Boogie Badlander Collection, crafted by Randall Smith and his team in Petaluma, California, offers modern rock and metal players the punch, power, and gain they crave. With a tighter, meaner, and more aggressive take on the Dual Rectifier concept, the Badlander addresses player feedback for refined highs and lows, less mid-scoop, and a touch of British influence alongside its American-voiced gain. Whether running direct with CabClone technology or blasting through a 4x12 cabinet, the Badlander sets a new standard for heavy tone.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are extremely excited to announce the re-introduction of Mesa Boogie amplifiers into the United Kingdom! Originally founded back in 1971, Mesa Boogie quickly established themselves as a real force to be reckoned with in the tube amp game. Under the careful guidance of legendary amp builder Randall Smith, Mesa Boogie would go on to drastically alter the world of music and quickly became the original "boutique" amplifier brand. When players like Carlos Santana, James Hetfield, John Petrucci and Dave Grohl choose your amps, you know you must be doing something right! Back in 2021, our friends over at Gibson acquired the Mesa Boogie brand and promised to take their iconic designs to new heights. Headed up by Master Designer Randall Smith, this new era of Mesa Boogie promises incredible tone and unprecedented reliability.

The Rectifier Badlander 50 brings a sleek sonic profile and lighter weight to the Badlander Series, offering a distinct tonal character with a more aggressive yet effortless feel. With two identical Channels featuring three dynamic Modes - CLEAN, CRUNCH, and CRUSH - this amp provides versatile shaping power for various ensemble and recording setups.
In the Badlander 50, the 2-Channel preamp combines with two power displacement options - 50 Watts and 20 Watts - to enhance everything from clean tones to saturated textures. The 50 Watt setting offers bold authority and high headroom, while the 20-watt setting taps into Triode operation for greater clipping potential and a harmonic-laden response, unveiling trademark EL34 Tone.
With its unique sonic profile and crushing character, the Badlander 50 caters to those who embrace the mantra of "less is more." Despite its lighter weight, it exudes defiant attitude and rebellious nature, with a sense of top-end freedom and quick circuit response. The amp's bouncy, easy-to-play nature complements its lower wattage design.
Furthermore, the Badlander 50 is a dream for recording enthusiasts, featuring an onboard CabClone IR with Channel Specific IR Assignment of 8 virtual Cabinets and a Reactive Load for seamless DI. This innovative feature, combined with the amp's clip-friendly power range, makes it the most versatile and recordable Recto ever, even in "silent mode" when using headphones or unable to use a traditional cabinet.
