A faithful NAM capture pack of the legendary Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head (3 Channel) — the high-gain icon that helped define the sound of modern rock and metal with its massive low-end, aggressive attack, and unmistakable saturated character.
This pack explores multiple channels, voicings, rectifier modes, and boosted configurations, all captured through a Mesa Oversized 4x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s and mic'd with a Shure SM57.
The amp + cabinet are captured together, giving you complete, mix-ready tones straight into your DAW or rig.

🎶 INCLUDED TONES
This pack includes 5 captures, ranging from classic scooped Rectifier tones and versatile crunch to tight, boosted high-gain rhythm and lead sounds.
- SCOOPED — CH1 PUSHED BOLD (Silicon Diode)
Channel 1 pushed hard in Bold mode with the silicon diode rectifier for a driven, punchy response and the classic scooped-mid Dual Rectifier character.
Gain 7 · Bass 6 · Mid 3 · Treble 6 · Presence 6 · Master 4
- CRUNCH — CH2 VINTAGE (Multiwatt, Silicon Diode)
Channel 2 in Vintage voicing, running through the Multiwatt power section with the silicon diode rectifier. A versatile moderate-gain crunch with a rounder, more classic rock character.
No boost — straight into the amp.
Gain 4 · Bass 5 · Mid 5 · Treble 6 · Presence 5 · Master 4
- RHYTHM — CH2 MODERN BOLD (Silicon Diode)
Channel 2 switched to Modern/Bold for increased tightness, attack, and aggression. A punchier high-gain tone with plenty of bite, built for driving rhythm parts and heavy riffs.
Gain 6 · Bass 6 · Mid 5 · Treble 7 · Presence 6 · Master 4
- HEAVY — DUAL REC + TS9 BOOST*
The Dual Rectifier pushed hard with an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer boosting the front end. The TS9 tightens the low-end while adding midrange focus, saturation, and bite for a powerful, aggressive heavy rhythm tone.
Gain 7 · Bass 5 · Mid 4 · Treble 6 · Presence 6 · Master 4
- LEAD — CH3 MODERN + TS9 BOOST
Channel 3's high-gain Modern voicing pushed further with the TS9. Tight lows, scooped mids, cutting highs, and heavy saturation make this the most sustain-rich tone in the pack — designed for solos and lead lines that need to cut through a dense mix.
Gain 8 · Bass 5 · Mid 3 · Treble 7 · Presence 7 · Master 5
