While many guitar players know Mesa as the company behind the Dual Rectifier that defined the sound of American metal in the 1990s, there's an earlier generation
who remember the excitement caused in the early 1970s by a small combo with an unusual and unforgettable name -- the Boogie.
Catapulted onto centre stage in the guitar world, the tiny combo -- barely larger than the single 12-inch loudspeaker shoehorned into its exotic hardwood cabinet -- had a reputation for making the 100-watt stacks so common back then look and sound rather ordinary. Ever since, the concept of the giant-killing small combo has been Mesa's speciality, and the latest in a long line has just arrived in the UK. Say hello to the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five.
The amp is put through its paces in this video by Darran Charles from the band Godsticks, who are currently on tour with Guthrie Govan's Aristocrats. Check out the dates and buy tickets here: http://www.godsticks.co.uk/gigs
