Mesa Boogie Badlander 100 Head - Black Bronco

The Badlander 100 is the latest evolution in Mesa/Boogie’s legendary Rectifier lineage — a 100-watt beast that refines decades of high-gain heritage into a tighter, meaner, and more modern force of nature. Designed for players who crave precision and punch with cosmic weight, the Badlander 100 stands as the flagship Recto for the new era of rock, metal, and studio tone.

This head doesn’t just roar — it radiates power. With a quartet of EL34s under the hood and Mesa’s Multi-Watt™ Power Switch (100W / 50W / 20W), the Badlander adapts to any environment, from crushing stages to silent recording setups. Whether you’re running full-stack or direct through its onboard CabClone™ IR, the tone stays massive, dimensional, and unmistakably Boogie.

With its combination of handcrafted build quality, modern tone shaping, and built-in IR tech, the Badlander 100 is more than a high-gain amp — it’s a future classic. For players chasing the ultimate evolution of Rectifier tone, this head sits at the top of the Mesa universe.
