Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar talks about his love of the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier™ and Badlander™ amplifiers and who he thinks will love the Dual Rectifier amps!
"What's cool about the Badlander is that it takes everything awesome about the Dual Rectifier and adds more possibilities. You get a few more highs, a bit more on the low end, a bit more aggression, and a bit more of a British flavor as well. So, I feel like if you love the Dual Rectifier, this basically just gives you more. I'm very excited to get this into my studio and onto the stage and start playing it."
In this excerpt from our MESA/Boogie story series, we’re joined by Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar who talsk about what he thinks is the best thing about the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier™ and Badlander™ amplifiers.
In the full exclusive interview with the Busted/Fightstar frontman, Charlie Simpson talks about the first time he heard about MESA/Boogie amps, and how once he tried the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier at a Busted rehearsal it became a mainstay in his live and studio rig for all of his bands.
Watch as he talks about how he dials in his MESA/Boogie Badlander amplifier amp to get the optimal pleasing distortion and how he chooses an amplifier on its ability to "chug".
Whether you need a compact 25-watt combo or a fire-breathing 100-watt head, MESA/Boogie’s Badlander™ Collection has been engineered by Randall Smith and his team in Petaluma, California, to deliver all the punch, power, and gain modern rock and metal players demand.
A tighter, meaner, and more aggressive twist on the Dual Rectifier® theme, the Badlander was designed in response to feedback from players who wanted less mid-scoop, refined highs and lows, and some British influence with their American-voiced gain. Running direct with our proprietary CabClone™ tech, or melting faces in the front row through a 4x12 cabinet, the Badlander redefines heavy tone.
