The Dual Rectifier is a high-end three channel amp by Mesa Boogie, and it's one of our favorites to recommend in this price range.
It's harder to get a deal on Mesa amps because not all major retailers carry them. Sweetwater and Guitar Center are the two main options. If you want to buy used, perhaps at a place like Reverb or eBay, you can get more significant discounts.
Note that while our price guides are updated live, you should also be aware that pricing and availability can change depending on where and when you're looking.
To support Guitar Chalk we partner with retailers like Sweetwater and use links to their product pages. If you click through our orange buttons and buy some gear, we might get a portion back at no extra cost to you. This is the best way to help us keep this project going. Thanks to all for the trust and generous support over the years! - Bobby and Danielle

Even the 100 watt version is incredibly powerful.

But the high Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier price tag is here to stay.
