Speaking about guitar amplifiers, there is one name that is highly regarded as the staple of high gain tone: Mesa/Boogie*. Historically renowned as the first boutique guitar amplifiers, Mesa/Boogie* changed the face of music with their rectifier design. This amp is not only known for a single sound character but it delivers a wide range of tones- from rounded jazzy cleans, warm crunch, biting overdrive and thick high gain distortion. What was interesting about the rectifier series was how players of heavy music such as Tool, Soundgarden, Incubus, HIM, Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, System of A Down, and countless others adopted the boogie tone. It’s probably safe to say that Mesa/Boogie* had a big contribution to the evolution of the music scene since the release of Dual and Triple Rectifier in the early 90’s.
