Description
Delivering a sonic and weight profile that’s a bit more trim, the Rectifier Badlander 50 holds its own while adding a distinct tonal character to the Badlander Series. Even more aggressive sounding, yet with an inviting, effortless feel, it’s buffed and ready to go places where less output power is the call.
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 navigate 2-Channel preamp is harnessed with three different and perfect power displacements, each delivering addictive EL34 performance.
Unique Sonic Profile
Sometimes less is more, and if that’s your mantra, the Badlander 50 is a perfect fit. Weighing in at considerably less, there are physical considerations at play for sure. Yet the Middleweight contender in the Badlander Family has its own story to tell when it comes to defiant attitude and a rebellious nature. Some feel there is a unique benefit to lower wattage amplifiers, often described as a sense that the top end travels more freely and quickly through the circuit. While perhaps a bit over-simplified, truth be told the Badlander in 50 Watt form does display that characteristic along with its bouncy, easy-to-play nature.
CabClone IR
The Badlander 50 is also the recordists dream realized. It features our first onboard CabClone IR and it delivers seamless DI with Channel Specific IR Assignment of the 8 virtual Cabinets and a Reactive Load that sounds and feels great. Together with the new sounds and the 50’s clip-friendly power range, the most versatile and recordable Recto ever is created, even in “silent mode” when you can’t use your favourite cabinet!
The CabClone IR delivers newfound flexibility, portability and previously only dreamed of convenience. You now have the ability to go direct silently or with your cab, for recording, stage or headphone practicing with instant access to 8 real MESA cabinets mic’d in a Pro Environment and library storage for more.
