Watch as Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar talks about his love of the MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier™ and Badlander™ amplifiers and the first time he heard MESA/Boogie amplifiers when playing with his band Busted.

Today, in the Gibson garage, London UK, 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.

“Dual Rectifier was always my favorite MESA. What’s cool about the Badlander is it takes everything that was awesome about the Dual Rectifier and then adds more possibilities.”

In this excerpt from an 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.
