Should I buy a Badlander?

[GTR37]

I just about fell out of my chair when I saw Long and Mcquade is selling off the 50 heads for $1750
Questions I know it can do the more modern stuff but how does it do at the 80s stuff like lynch Sykes ?
Also how is the cab clone direct into a DAW

1. Yes, it will.
2. It's pretty good. Maybe not the best, but I thought it was quite good.

That is half price. Get it! It's super versatile and definitely more in the Marshall realm than a standard Rectifier, without being ice picky like a Stiletto.

Guess this is a rhetorical question?

If you're familiar with NAM, give these a go:

Mesa Boogie Badlander Rectifier 100W EL34 (Lehle P-SPLIT III reamp) NAM Profile · TONE3000

Check out 2dor's neural amp head capture for guitar, bass and recording: If you like my work & want to support it, you can do so here: https://paypal.me/2dorNAM Mesa Boogie Badlander Rectifier 100W (EL34) reamped with the "Lehle P-SPLIT III" Trained with NAM v0.10.0 using the new methodology...

Should give you a pretty good feel of what the amp can do.

In short, it covers a lot of ground - can easily nail 80s tones.

Interesting amps. I feel like it's for the Marshall guy that screws up his face every time he plays a Recto.

Yeah can do Lynch tones ok, but it's more modern all round and not as juicy as a British voiced amp.

The Cab Clone is pretty ordinary. Don't know if it's the crappy load or they just don't know how to capture good IRs (or both).

How is this even a question??

Would you put it more in the camp of a modern Marshall like a JVM orange and Freidman HBE gain wise than the classic plexi or 800

It is the disappoint that this thread isn’t just the OP question and 517 pages of replies that just say “YES!!”

Why are you still asking questions? You should have already received it, and been jamming on it. Let's go, guy!

This will keep going until their overstock is sold and the price is back to 3399 and then "oh damn should have would have"
