There are three distinct generations of Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifiers: 1) 2-channel solo heads (1992-1999) 2) 3-channel solo heads “Multi Channel” (2000-2010) 3) 3-channel solo heads “Multi-Watt” (2010-now)

This item is for the 3rd generation “Multi-Watt” Triple Rectifiers.

In 2010, Mesa Boogie released a new variant of the three channel Rectifiers, allowing to switch each channel separately to either full power or limit its power to 50W. Full power for a Triple Rectifier is 150W (Dual is 100W).

The Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier 150-Watt Tube Head is a titan of tone, providing a versatile range of sounds from crystal clear cleans to devastating distortion. This powerful amplifier head is perfect for modern guitarists seeking the perfect blend of innovation and tradition. It is powered by flexible 6L6 power tubes and five 12AX7 preamp tubes that drive three independent channels, each with their unique modes to sculpt your sound.

With a whopping 150 watts, this amplifier head delivers a robust low end, rich harmonics, and a focused midrange that can stand out in any mix. No matter your playing style, the Triple Rectifier can help you discover your signature sound.
