A head is basically an Amplifier minus the speakers. You will need a Guitar Cabinet which is a speaker enclosure to go along with the amp head.

A Rectifier is a type of Amplifier made by Mesa Boogie.

Isnt a rectifier some part of an amp? Or am I thinking of something completly different maybe?

The rectifier is part of the amp, yes. I wish I could explain exactly what it did, but its something to do with the tightness of the sound - you have your diode rectifiers which tighten the amp up then tube rectifiers which give more sag. Apparently - I've only ever played diode rectified amps.

Not to be confused with the Mesa Recto. They are named so due to the option of having a diode or a tube rectifier - hence the Dual Rectifier head: It has a diode rectifier and a tube rectifier which you can switch between. The triple rectifier has a diode rectifier and 2 tube rectifiers to handle the increased wattage. The Singel Rectifier has only the diode rectifier.

Actually a triple rectifier has 3 tube rectifiers.

damnit i wanted the asshole above to answer this shit

a rectifier converts AC to DC

a rectifier actually is what turns an AC signal into a DC signal, as to why Mesa chose that for the name of an amp line, I have no idea, lol.

i never really knew wat a amp head was either. So i take it you can plug your amp head to your cabinet part right?

Idk why some of u insist on being dikheads. :confused::o:(:mad: Everyone has to start somewhere. and I've found google or wiki to be difficult at times too.

Maybe a beginners question seem stupid to you in the same way one of your questions would sound stupid to say, EVH

For those of you who answered the question (some did it very well, I might add), ty for not letting our forum appear to be a group full of know-it-all cockfags.
