At around 1:57/1:58 in this video of Limp Bizkit’s appearance at Rock Im Park 2001, a Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier 1x12 combo amplifier can be seen as a part of Wes Borland’s guitar rig. It can easily be distinguished as this amplifier based on its specific Mesa/Boogie logo that appears on other “Rectifier” models from Mesa/Boogie, as well as its size (it is around half the size of the Roland JC-120 amplifiers Wes is famous for using, therefore it is most likely a 1x12 combo rather than a 2x12).
