A Bold New Rectifier Voice For a New Era – The Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Badlander 25 1 x 12-Inch 25-Watt Guitar Combo Amp
Badlanders arose from Mesa/Boogie’s legendary Dual Rectifiers® and feedback from players who used them over decades requesting; “Tighter low end, refined top end, and less mid scoop delivered with MESA gain that feels great and sounds huge.” The Badlander™ 25 1×12 Combo delivers that recipe in a small package and power range that adds a raw character all its own. For the guitarist leaning rock who likes some Brit influence with their American-voiced gain, the 25’s appeal is obvious, with many such tones that sound huge through cabinetry while also providing stunning direct performance without live speakers.
The Badlander 25 1×12 Combo delivers the Rectifier-inspired voice and performance of the Badlander 100 and 50, offering a fiery-sounding, ultra-portable low-power option for those not needing big horsepower. The same simple 2 channel format, each containing Clean, Crunch, and Crush modes repeated, fits perfectly within this small EL84- powered rendering with a fierceness and harmonic complexity all its own.
Key features and options included on the bigger models remain intact, with only the power section, transformers, and chassis getting a make-over. Tonally speaking, choosing a favorite between the 3 models isn’t easy, as each has its own character and application, but the 25 wins hands down for attitude and ease of transport.
Like all Badlanders, the Badlander 25 1×12 Combo packs Mesa/Boogie’s CabClone™ IR Direct Interface making recording and cabless live capture easy. The same collection of Rectifier® Closed-Back and Boogie® Open-Back Cabinets from our standalone 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 1×12 combo that’s easy to take with you, the Rectifier Badlander 25 1×12 Combo rules!
