Description
Two identical channels feature the same three new dynamic and duplicated modes as the 100-watt model. Repeating CLEAN, CRUNCH, and CRUSH functions provide amplification, shaping power, and immersive personality. Suitable for most ensembles and almost any recording environment. In the Badlander 50, a 2-channel preamp is connected with two different perfect power displacements to enhance everything from clean to clipped to intensely saturated sounds. The 50 watt setting provides strong authority and maximum headroom, while the 20 watt setting locates the power tubes re-wired for Triode operation, increasing the clipping potential, with mid-scooped harmonies that and bring the signature EL34 tone to life. Unique sound profile with destructive character Sometimes less is more. If that's what you believe in, Badlander 50 is the perfect solution. Physical factors definitely come into play, as the weight is significantly lower. Some folks believe that low wattage amplifiers have unique advantages. This is often described as the feeling of the top end moving more freely and quickly through the circuit. While that may be a bit of an oversimplification, the 50-watt version of the Badlander exhibits this trait with its bouncy, easy-to-play characteristics. CabClone IR with 8 Mesa Virtual IR Cabinets On Board The Badlander 50 is a turntable dream come true. Featuring Mesa's first built-in CabClone™ IR, it delivers seamless DI with channel-specific IR assignment of eight virtual Cabinets and reactive loading for great sound and feel. The combination of new sounds and a 50's clip-friendly power range; the most versatile and recordable Recto ever invented, even in "silent mode" when you can't use your favorite cabinet! CabClone IR offers new flexibility, portability and convenience you could only dream of before. Instant access to 8 true MESA cabinets mic’d in a Pro Environment and library storage for more. For those that want to go straight to silent, to recording in the booth, or to practicing with headphones on stage. Now you can. For consistent sound from venue to venue, with or without speaker cabinets, there's nothing better than this.
