The modern faux-vintage look of amplifiers masquerading as bench power supplies/battery chargers completely fails to excite me. I like an amp to look like a real musical piece of kit, not industrial. As always ymmv.

Modern?
1989 was the fork in the road here at Mesa/Boogie®. It was the year we embarked on a mission to Rectify high gain guitar and reintroduce MESA Engineering® to the world.

I'm not a big fan of the Rectifiers, but that's pretty damn cool.

The modern was in reference to the (it seems) everyone now jumping on the ugly stick of design train.

Just about had a GAS attack over the bably Recto, but then realised I could get my DSL201 retubed and make a decent 2x12 cab for it and save many twodollars.
