Mesa Rectifier 2x12

[EOengineer]

I’ve kept tabs on their site for Mesa 2x12s over the past year or so. I always thought there would be a catch with the cheaper cabinet, like it being a Compact model since they also have a separate item for the Horizontal model at $969.

There does seem to be many opinions that it provides a bigger sound over other V30-loaded cabs.

I confirmed with them that the dimensions are the full size specs.

What’s the difference between the Mesa and Boogie badged versions?

I keep forgetting you have the Dyne too.

I don’t think there’s any difference beyond the badge, which does have an effect on how the cab sounds when out in front, at least at home, as mentioned above. I’d say the bigger MESA badge disperses the highs a bit, almost like a beam-blocking effect?

I got the Boogie badge one on sale for 1/2 price because the store was closing. I think they had custom ordered it. I’ve never gigged it, it just stays at home, whereas the other MESA one is my main gigging cab and has been for about eight years.

As a Dyne update, I no longer have that large-shell version in the first pic, just sold it. But still have the medium-size one. That and the MKVII are my only amps now.
