A Tighter, Meaner Recto It's time to unleash a new member of the Rectifier Family; the Rectifier BadlandeTM 100. Tighter, meaner, and more aggressive, it's a Recto tuned for the times and up for the task of raising the bar once again for rock tone. Experienced players know there's nothing like the gut punch, girth, and headroom of a 100-Watt head, and at the top of the Badlander Family stands the Badlander 100 ready to underscore that perception again. Two identical channels feature 3 new super-dynamic and duplicated Modes. CLEAN, CRUNCH, and CRUSH repeatedly supply all the gain, shaping power, and raw personality you'll need to navigate any Band or Session environment. The easy to pilot 2-Channel preamp is harnessed with three different and perfect power displacements, each delivering addictive EL34 performance. Multi-Watt - 100, 50, or 20 Watts at the Switch The Badlander 100 features our patented Multi-Watt Power Switch that offers three wattage settings; A FULL power of 100 watts running the full quartet of EL34s, a HALF power setting cranking 50 Watts that puts two ELs to their best use, and a reconfigured Triode wired option producing 20 Watts of clip-able sweetness that also runs a pair of output tubes. Each has its own set of benefits and character and together they provide almost limitless possibilities when you consider the pairings with the available preamp Modes, their gain structures and dial-able sounds. Compared to its 50-Watt sibling, the 100s lower Mids are fatter, fuller-sounding, and a bit more prominent in the mix, filling in all the cracks to create a balanced, wide, wall of expressive goodness, regardless of where the Mode Switch or GAIN controls are set. You feel the sound in your chest and in your bones and that helps you play with a sense of connectedness and assuredness. It supports you with a feeling of inspiring confidence that allows you to play your best anywhere, anytime.
