MESA Boogie Badlander 25 1x12 Combo

The MESA Boogie Badlander 25 1x12 Combo: Compact Power, Focused Rectifier Attitude

A fresh take on the Rectifier legacy

The Badlander 25 1x12 Combo reimagines MESA's storied Rectifier lineage through a tighter, more articulate lens. Built in Petaluma, CA with the same no-compromise craftsmanship that defines the brand, this compact 25-watt combo delivers a revoiced, British-influenced character without losing the American muscle and ferocity players expect. The result is a punchy, harmonically rich amplifier that brings new depth and clarity to high-gain tones, all while preserving a refined feel and touch response that rewards expressive playing.

Two channels, three modes, all attitude

At the core of the Badlander 25 are two fully footswitchable channels, each equipped with MESA’s Channel Cloning design, offering Clean, Crunch, and Crush modes per channel. This amp has bold voice all its own, with an edge that leans raw and immediate, without sacrificing tonal integrity.

Built-in CabClone IR for seamless direct performance

Recording and silent-stage rigs are effortless thanks to the onboard CabClone IR Direct Interface. Eight MESA cabinet impulse responses are accessible via the back panel, including both Closed-Back Rectifier and Open-Back Boogie flavors. The system includes a USB interface for loading custom IRs, XLR balanced output, headphone monitoring, and internal amp load for safe speakerless operation. This makes the Badlander 25 not only gig- and studio-ready, it makes it modern-rig essential.

Premium components in a road-ready design

Housed in a marine-grade Baltic birch cabinet wrapped in Black Bronco vinyl with a Black Jute grille and silver piping, this combo looks as serious as it sounds. With convection cooling, a rugged slipcover, and a single-button footswitch included, it’s clear MESA thought through every detail to ensure the Badlander 25 delivers both on stage and in transport.

Scaled power, uncompromising tone

Selectable 25- or 10-watt global output lets you dial in just the right amount of headroom for any venue, rehearsal, or recording scenario. Whether you're leaning into that Class A/B Pentode punch at full volume or opting for rich harmonic bloom in Triode mode, this amp delivers unmistakable tube feel with zero compromises.
