Overview

A tube combo amp with bold clean tones and aggressive overdrive.

The MESA/Boogie Badlander 50 1x12 50W tube guitar combo amp delivers the unmistakable power and precision of the Rectifier series in a compact, versatile format. Designed for stage and studio, this amp offers two EL34 power tubes and switchable wattage between 50W and 20W, giving you full control over your tone and dynamics. With two independent channels, each featuring Clean, Crunch, and Crush modes, the Badlander 50 covers everything from sparkling cleans to crushing high-gain tones. Handbuilt with premium materials and equipped with a Celestion Creamback 65 speaker, it provides both durability and rich, responsive sound for any playing environment.

Guitar Combo Amp With Channel Cloning and Studio-Ready Features

The dual-channel design of the Badlander 50 provides unmatched flexibility for players who need a wide range of tones. Each channel includes Clean, Crunch, and Crush modes, allowing seamless transitions between pristine cleans, gritty mid-gain textures, and saturated high-gain distortion. MESA's Channel Cloning technology ensures that both channels are fully customizable with independent gain, EQ, and presence controls. This lets you tailor your sound for rhythm sections, leads, or anything in between, while maintaining consistent tonal clarity even in high-gain settings.

The CabClone IR technology built into the Badlander 50 offers professional-grade recording and silent practice capabilities. With eight studio-quality MESA cabinet impulse responses, including iconic 4x12" and 1x12" configurations, you can record direct via XLR or USB without needing a physical cabinet. This system also supports third-party IRs for added versatility. A reactive load and headphone output let you practice silently while retaining the amp's natural tube response, making it a powerful tool for both live and studio use.

Switchable wattage gives the Badlander 50 added tonal flexibility, with a Multi-Watt power switch that toggles between 50W of bold, full-range tone and 20W of compressed, harmonic-rich response. The 50W setting delivers tight lows and vibrant highs, perfect for high-volume performances or headroom-demanding genres. The 20W mode emphasizes midrange character and smooths out attack dynamics, ideal for expressive solo work or smaller venues. Both settings preserve the signature EL34-driven sound that defines the Badlander series.

Built with a marine-grade Baltic birch cabinet and an aluminum chassis, this amp is as rugged as it is refined. The Celestion Creamback 65 speaker inside delivers a warm, balanced response with tight lows, smooth mids, and articulate highs. This pairing ensures that the amp excels across genres, from blues and rock to metal. The black Taurus vinyl wrap and matching grille cloth give it a sleek, professional appearance, ready for any stage or studio setting.

MESA/Boogie 50-Watt Tube Combo Amp With Multi-Mode Power for Stage, Studio, and Silent Practice

The Badlander 50 is a versatile amp that adapts to a variety of playing scenarios. Its wide tonal range and switchable wattage make it equally suited for live performances, studio recordings, and home practice sessions.
