Here's a great find for the player wanting a versatile, high powered valve head! This Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Road King is in very good pre-owned condition and comes with its original footswitch & cable.

There are marks and scratches from use but overall it presents very well. The original footswitch is missing a few of the led covers.

A great amplifier capable of a plethora of tones.

THE ULTIMATE DELIVERY OF TONAL VARIETY

Once in a while a product comes along that redefines its genre, changing the way we think, and ushering in a new era. The Road King™ does just that. Nothing's more satisfying than a great old tube amp, right . . . except a fleet of great old tube amps. And that's exactly what the Road King™ is.

Our patented Progressive Linkage™ provides five different all-tube power amplifiers which you can harness in any combination to the King's four pre-amp channels to create - not a cyber mock-up, but the real, authentic circuits found in those classic amplifiers. The ultimate delivery of tonal variety.

FOUR DISCREET CHANNELS THAT EACH HOUSE AN INCREDIBLE THREE MODES OF HYPER-TUNED PRE-AMP EXPRESSION

This seriously over-the-top Recto® offers four discreet channels that each house an incredible three modes of hyper-tuned pre-amp expression. Yet, as if all this shaping power wasn't enough, the Road King goes on to revolutionise amplifier design by offering a unique dimension in channel switching: Progressive Linkage™. This simple yet powerful concept allows you to assign different power amplifiers to each pre-amp channel . . . and footswitch between them.

You can match any power amp to each channel and create your own fleet of dedicated, all-tube amplifiers from input jack to speaker, from 30 watts to 120. The Road King even lets you assign a choice of speaker cabs per channel!

You can have huge, breathy 4:6L6 headroom for one channel and set up a snarling pair of EL-34's for an authentic English accent on another channel . . . and so on. There are five distinctive power tube combinations: some classic, some new-born, each inspiring in sound and feel, ranging from 30 watts to 120.

A COLLECTION OF HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AMPS . . . IN ONE CHASSIS

Imagine a bubbly clean sound, using the incredible dynamics of a 50 watt pair of tube-rectified 6L6s. Now footswitch to the threshold CLEAN BRIT voice on Channel 2, driving a pair of EL-34's for a chiming power clip. Or, if you need alternate clean sounds, set Channel 1 to TWEED and Channel 2 to FAT, choosing power amps for each that best suit your style.

These few examples offer a mere glimpse into the incredible domain ruled by the Road King™ with Progressive Linkage™. Take the world tour of classic all-tube circuits from VINTAGE to MODERN and on into the future. Understand, the Road King IS what modelling technology wants to be. Not algorithm simulations, rather combinations of the original circuits, using the real technology, to create the actual amplifiers.

Coloured LEDs on the front panel keep you informed of your channel selection and power combinations. But there's more to power than wattage and tube types alone. It's all about the feel. And part of providing a perfect power response is selecting the proper rectifier. This is the device that converts high voltage AC into Direct Current for the power tubes. And two of the Road King's eight patents cover the rectifier choices available and the way they track.

RECTO®-TRACKING™. MATCH THE "POWER FEEL" TO YOUR DESIRED PRE-AMP SOUND AND WATTAGE SELECTION

Recto®-Tracking™ - Achieve the perfect amount of juicy rectifier sag for the number of output tubes in use. Here's how it works: When you select one of output tubes, either 6L6s or EL-34s, Recto Tracking brings up one 5U4 rectifier tube for enhanced low power bounce. When selecting two pairs of output tubes, both 5U4 rectifier tubes are engaged to support the increased power and retain the dynamic feel.

Just like the famed Dual and Triple Rectifiers®, you can over-ride Recto-Tracking anytime by merely selecting the Silicon Diodes. And finally, selecting all six power tubes triggers the tighter sounding, more efficient silicon diode rectifiers to produce an authoritative 120 watts of headroom.

REVERB IS PARAMOUNT IN AN AMPLIFIER THIS VERSATILE AND THE ROAD KING HAS THE BEST!

We’ve taken our All-Tube circuit from the widely acclaimed Lone Star™ and the result is lush, ambient Reverb that blooms with sweetness as it bathes each note in old school glory. And because the Road Kings’ modes offer such a wide range of gain levels and sound styles, each Channel is fitted with a dedicated REVERB mix control located on the Rear Panel so Reverb can be optimised for each sound.

What would you rather play . . . a cyber mock-up? Or a fleet of real, hand-made, all-tube amps. The Road King™ is the new frontier, in authentic tube tone.
