The 90s icon returns to production in its Black Bronco finish, built by the same craftsmen behind the original.
Hot on the heels of the Dual Rectifier’s return to production, Mesa Boogie has reintroduced another icon from its back catalogue: the Triple Rectifier, back in its 90’s Black Bronco finish.
The reissue packs a 150-watt all-tube power section, selectable tube or silicon diode rectification, a Bold/Spongy Variac power switch, three distinct voicing modes and two fully independent channels. It’s a spec sheet that’s changed little from the original, and for good reason-this is the amp that redefined how gear could function as visual spectacle as much as sonic weapon, its extra rectifier and power tubes forming a glowing wall of glass round back that hints at the impact to come the moment the standby switch flicks on.

Since its original run over three decades ago, the Triple Rectifier has carved out a reputation as one of the defining high gain amps in rock and metal, prized by players chasing a tone that’s as commanding on record as it is intimidating in a rig rundown. Its return follows the Dual Rectifier back into Mesa’s current lineup, signalling a broader push from the brand to bring its most iconic amp heads back within reach of a new generation of players, while keeping the originals’ cult status intact for those who remember them the first time round.
Sonically, the reissue promises the same layered harmonics, tight low end and percussive mid hit that made the original a go-to for huge, high gain tones unmatched by any amp before or since. Built by the same artisans who handcrafted the first run of Triple Recs over 30 years ago, this new build pairs that legacy performance with a fresh chassis and Mesa’s comprehensive five-year warranty.
