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. Now MESA adds the original Standard Dress to the mix for an iconic, yet also more affordable rendering of this game changing model. It features the original Black chassis, chrome speed knobs and polished aluminum 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 with an improved CLEAN Mode. A flattering tribute and upgrade to one of the most iconic recorded - and modeled - tube amplifiers of the last 30 years.
Features* Dual Channel Simplicity - Simple, straightforward design (as compared to current 3 Channel 2010 model)
* Channel Style/Cloning - allows "cloning" of the mode voicings of either channel.
* Patented Switchable Rectifiers - Tube or Silicon Diode Rectification to tune the sound, character and feel.
* 100-Watts of robust Class A/B Tube Power - Bias Select for stock 6L6 or a swap to EL34 Tube types.
* BOLD/SPONGY "Variac" switch - Reduced voltage setting for increased harmonics and elastic feel.
* Black Bronco Vinyl with polished aluminum Diamond Plate Grille and leather corners.
* 1-button Footswitch and fitted slipcover included.
