About The Badlands

In the market for punch, power and boat-loads of gain, tuned for the modern rock and metal enthusiast? Introducing The Badlands, an expertly curated GENOME Component Pack featuring the RockRider TSM-Ai Amplifier and 5 complementary high-power, super-versatile DynIRs!

First up, there’s RockRider – inspired by the legendary Mesa Boogie® Badlander, expect the epitome of versatility all thanks to twin-channel operation, each with an expertly tuned Tone Stack plus switchable CLEAN, CRUNCH and CRUSH modes. For tone-smith’s seeking the fabled Brown-Out response, there’s RockRider’s “MODERN/VINTAGE” switch. In “MODERN”-mode, brace yourself for a full-range high-power bombardment; switch to “VINTAGE” and dive into a simulated lowered voltage setting resulting in subdued mids, increased “air” in low registers and a buttery-smooth top-end brimming with sultry harmonic overtones. Add to this 100- and 20-Watt power-amp modes and you’re set to switch up your tone from a full EL34s onslaught to a Triode-wired low-power setting for enhanced clipping potential and a scooped response.

On the all-important DynIR front, brace yourself for the epitome of larger-than-life sonics with an assemblage of 5 premier captures from Mesa Boogie®, ENGL®, Erik Rutan and a hot-pick from the best-selling Anniversary Edition Cabinet Collection. Featuring a driver roster inspired by Eminence®’s Mick Thompson signature DV77 and Celestion®’s Vintage 30 & G12T-75, you’re primed with a virtually limitless expanse of high-power tonal stylings – all hand-picked to get the very best from mighty RockRider TSM-Ai Amplifier.
