Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar talks about his love of the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier™ and Badlander™ amplifiers and shares what he looks for when choosing an amplifier: how well does it chug?!
"When I think about distortion, when I think about the amps I want, the main thing I think is how well does it chug? The amp just looks so good man! It's just such a striking amp!"
In this excerpt from our MESA/Boogie story series, we’re joined by Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar to talk through his experience of using MESA/Boogie gear, dating back to the first time he tried them out in 2001 with his band Busted. Now a MESA/Boogie Badlander player, he demonstrates how he dials in his tone, using the MESA/Boogie Badlander 100 Head and the 2X12 Vertical/Slant Rectifier Cabinet and also talks about what he looks for when choosing his next guitar amplifier!
In this exclusive interview with the Busted/Fightstar frontman, Charlie Simpson talks about the first time he heard about MESA/Boogie amps, and how once he tried the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier at a Busted rehearsal it became a mainstay in his live and studio rig.
Watch as he talks about how he dials in his MESA/Boogie Badlander amplifier amp to get the optimal pleasing distortion and how the main thing he thinks about is "how well does it chug?".
Whether you need a compact 25-watt combo or a fire-breathing 100-watt head, MESA/Boogie’s Badlander™ Collection has been engineered by Randall Smith and his team in Petaluma, California, to deliver all the punch, power, and gain modern rock and metal players demand.
A tighter, meaner, and more aggressive twist on the Dual Rectifier® theme, the Badlander was designed in response to feedback from players who wanted less mid-scoop, refined highs and lows, and some British influence with their American-voiced gain. Running direct with our proprietary CabClone™ tech, or melting faces in the front row through a 4x12 cabinet, the Badlander redefines heavy tone.
