A bold sound for a new Rectifier era
The Badlander was born out of Mesa/Boogie's legendary Dual Rectifier amp and feedback from players who used it for decades who wanted tighter bass, nuanced highs and less mids with MESA gain that feels great and sounds huge. The Badlander 25 delivers that recipe in a small enclosure and a power range that has a raw character all its own. For rock-oriented guitarists who like British influences with American gain , the Badlander 25's appeal is obvious, with plenty of such sounds that sound huge through the cabinets and deliver a stunning performance even without live loudspeaker .
Delivering the Rectifier-inspired voice and performance of the Badlander 100 and Badlander 50 , the Badlander 25 offers a red-hot, ultra-portable low-power option for those who don't need a big- power amplifier model . The same simple 2-channel format, with selectable Clean, Crunch and Crush modes , is a perfect fit for this little EL84-powered amplifier model.
A simplified version of Badlander
The main features and options of the larger models remain, only the amplifier, the transformers and the enclosure have been revised. In terms of sound, it is not easy to choose a favorite between the three Badlander models, as each has its own character and area of application , but the 25 model wins in terms of adjustment and ease of transport.
Like all Badlanders, the Badlander 25 is equipped with the CabClone™ IR interface , which makes recording and cable-less live performances easier. The integrated CabClone IR Virtual Cabinet Simulator & Reactive Amp Load comes with the following eight original Mesa/Boogie Virtual Cabinet IRs, which can be assigned to the respective channels:
4x12 Rectifier Standard (Closed Back)
4x12 Rectifier Traditional (Closed Back)
2x12 Rectifier Horizontal (Closed Back)
1x12 Rectifier (Closed Back)
1x12 Thiele (Closed Back, front-ported)
2x12 Lone Star (Open Back)
1x12 Lone Star 23 (Open Back)
1x12 California Tweed 23 (Open Back)
The CabCLone IR has been designed as an open system and is compatible with selected third-party IRs. A simple usb port allows free access to download, save and use your favorite IRs with capacity for additional presets. A USB 2.0 A to B connection cable (not including ) is required to manage the IR data directory. The same selection of Rectifier closed-back and Boogie open-back cabinets as is also included, offering a wide range of sounds.
For guitarists looking for a gigantic tube sound in a package that fits in a travel bag, the Rectifier Badlander 25 is the best choice!

Mehr als 25 Jahre, zwei Generationen von Gitarristen und mehrere musikalische Trendzyklen sind vergangen, seit die Rectifier-Serie zum ersten Mal ihre erdrückende Gain-Wand auf die Radiosender losgelassen hat. In dieser Zeit haben ihn viele nachgeahmt, kopiert, seziert und plagiiert, aber er ist nach wie vor fest im Zentrum der Heavy Music verankert - eine echte Rock-Ikone. Während die Rectifier ohne jeden Zweifel den größten und tiefsten Fußabdruck in der Heavy-Musik hinterlassen hat und dort auch weiterhin zuhause ist, ist er auch zum bevorzugten Verstärker für eine lange Liste von Chartstürmern außerhalb der Heavy-Welt geworden. Die aktuelle Rectifier-Serie umfasst Heads und passende Boxen und des Weiteren die vor Features strotzenden Badlander-Modelle.
In the late 1960s, Randall Smith, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most famous amplifier repairers, was inspired to build his own amplifier model after learning to appreciate the tweed circuits of the 1950s. He loved their organic sound, the effective controls , and the way the sound changed smoothly from clean to distortion and back again when the gain control was turned.
In order to advance with his own amplifier designs and concepts, he settled in Pentaluma, California in 1969 and worked on further developing his amplifier model.
The typical, heavily distorted sound of his Mesa/Boogie amplifier model was initially the result of an electrically incorrectly dimensioned preamplifier. The company's founder, Randall Smith, was unsure whether the pre-amp would have enough power to drive the amplifier , so he designed it with four double triodes, of which the first seven triodes are still used today to amplification the input signal.
Many years later , Mesa/Boogie has become one of the major global players in the market for high-quality guitar and bass amplifiers and is a leader in the development of modern amp designs and circuits. The American company also holds several patents on special features and circuits, such as Multi-Watt™, Dyna-Watt™ and the Mesa CabClone™ Cab Simulator, which you are sure to come across when browsing through our selection of Mesa/Boogie products become.
Of course, a manufacturer of such innovative and high-quality products has now also been able to gather a large fan base among professional musicians who are enthusiastic about Mesa/Boogie amps. The most famous users of Mesa/Boogie amps include the aforementioned Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Angus Young, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Adam Jones, Mark Tremonti and Dave Grohl. Of course, these are by no means all the famous Mesa/Boogie users and Mesa/Boogie also has a large and constantly growing fan base among studio musicians and hobby guitarists. Maybe you too will soon be part of the next generation of the Mesa/Boogie fan community?
