It features an amazing set of sonic sculpting tools via its original three-channel setup: Rhythm, a distinct midrange “Crunch” Rhythm and a Lead channel with independent gain and master volume controls. This amp from 1984 is the first original 3-channel “Tri-Modal Amplifier” design. These amps provide a high-gain response that can’t be found anywhere else.

Soul, personality and feel: The Rectifiers provide a tremendous range of sounds that can be everything from crushingly percussive to liquid and elastic.

Each amp offers 3-channel, 8-mode operation and varying levels of tube saturation, plus a switchable virtual tube/solid state rectifier section. Both have played a major role in defining the sound of grunge, metal and countless other forms of hard and heavy music. Effectively two different power section versions of the same amp introduced in 1991, these amps deliver maximum tone flexibility and serious rock attitude. The Rectifier amps are aggressive amplifiers for aggressive players. THE standard for modern high-gain heavy guitar tone. The amplifiers and cabinets available in AmpliTube MESA/Boogie include: AmpliTube MESA/Boogie also offers players a complete lineup of extreme mobile usefulness: there’s a built-in single track recorder that’s expandable up to 8 tracks with full waveform editing, a built-in drummer, an optional 4-track looper, a tuner, metronome, preset browsing system and more. In addition to the MESA/Boogie gear, AmpliTube MESA/Boogie also comes with 6 versatile stompboxes that let guitar and bass players build and play with their dream MESA/Boogie tone rig anytime and anywhere. Each model has been examined and approved by the R&D Team at Mesa Engineering. Like all AmpliTube virtual gear, these models have been carefully crafted to sound, look and perform as close to their hardware counterparts as possible.

These exciting co-developed models deliver everything from the gorgeous clean sounds, percussive aggression and tight crunch of the Dual Rectifier and Triple Rectifier to the violin-like sustain of the MARK III and MARK IV to the ultra-flexible mid-gain British leanings of the TransAtlantic TA-30. AmpliTube MESA/Boogie gives guitarists, producers, engineers and more the power to play through models of some of MESA/Boogie’s most famous genre-defining amplifiers and cabinets.
