Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Solo 50 Head

Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Solo 50 Head

In 1999 the Recto’s gave birth to a defiant pack of 50 watt diode-rectified monsters…

The SOLO 50 Head, the RECTO-VERB Head and the RECTO-VERB Combo. These value-packed SINGLE RECTIFIERS had all the tone and essential features of the DUAL & TRIPLE SOLO Heads and were aimed at giving first-time MESA enthusiasts a chance to own a Recto at an affordable price. Congratulations to all the players who chose these models…they were an overnight success!

Now that the new Three Channel DUAL & TRIPLE SOLO Heads are shipping to rave reviews, the next logical step was to take all that we learned during that project, incorporate the changes and bring a sense of order to this unruly gang of gainsters.

Introducing the NEW, IMPROVED SINGLE RECTIFIERS!

These amplifiers are truly a chunk out of the old armor, with all new circuitry throughout and vastly improved tone. More than the spitting image of there mighty pioneering parents, they are downright dangerous opponents in almost any arena.

The new Lead Channel pre-amp incorporates all the changes made to the new DUAL & TRIPLE SOLO Heads. The two original modes Vintage and Modern were reworked to duplicate exactly the awe-inspiring sound and feel of the big heads. The new third mode called RAW was added, greatly enhancing the range of gain sounds with a focus on the lower to medium region.

The transition between these three modes is seamless and they overlap smoothly to produce a Lead Channel equal to the big Rectos'…unrivaled in its' expression and versatility.

Feature updates include the Reverb control moving to the Front Panel on RECTO-VERB models and now both RECTO-VERB and SOLO 50 models boast our BIAS SELECT switch. This circuit enables you to run the stock compliment of 6L6 power tubes or switch over to run EL34 type tubes for a brighter looser power voice, while always ensuring a proper bias setting. All models receive new footswitches with the SOLO 50 using a 2 button scheme and RECTO-VERB versions sporting 3 buttons (one for Reverb).

And now the best part…with all these improvements that add up to a better sounding, more versatile amplifier, the pro net price will remain the same incredible bargain! These New Two Channel Single Rectifiers deliver the serious tone, attitude and performance with heritage intact. Be assured, these amps are unadulterated RECTO in every way…and there is no substitute for the real thing!
