Randall amps

Guest

hey all,

I'm thinking of selling my AVT50, and buying a randall 100w 2x12" combo. my AVT50 is having a lot of problems. when i switch channels, the amp either switches and switches back to the channel i was changing from, or the amp turns off! so i'm buying a new amp for christmas. how's the quality of the randall? i think the model is called RG100SC or something like that.

thanks

nick

Years ago I had a Randall stereo chorus amp and it was killer, I liked it much better than the Marshall combo I had. IMO, it's big sound w/o the big name or price. Wink

i'd say the Randall amps are the best SS amps out there for Distortion sound. CLosest thign to tubes, to my ears, althought he line 6 products have done Very well, and are very convincing, not perfect, but almost... My only complaint was that with the randall I had it wasn't loud enough... it was a 100 watt head, but I had to play with it on about 8 or 9 all the time, and sometimes even that seems to lose it's "oomph" after you were more than 20 feet away from it...the joy of SS... So I switched to an all tube Marshall, the Marshall JCM 2000 TSL100. I like it much better, however, the differance is amazing.... $1500 marshall head, or $400 randall. I'd never be ashamed to say I p[layed a randall, and if you're using good PA's with good moniters, or just playing in a garage or by yourself, they sound absolutely killer for thier intended purpose! HTH!

are they durable? i'm getting a good deal on the floor model, since that is the last one the guitar store has in stock. I don't want it breaking down on me!

Randall Amps are built like tanks Nick - hard to go wrong with one if it's anything like mine. They weren't a premier touring amp in the 80's for nothing. Wink

My RG100ES was built around 1987. I have had it since 1994. Almost 10 years that thing has been rockin strong with no issues whatsoever.

Im gonna buy an RH100 pretty soon.

nice, I guess i'll be getting a randall! either the 100w version or the 75w version. i might be able to get a good deal on the 100w version since it's the floor model.

awww Randall..that's the official sound for my band. Both me and the other guitarist use RH200's...I love em. I'd go for it. We've had a few problems but they were mostly on our part. The sounds of a vintage dean through it is amazing.

I have a Randall RG75 combo and the cyclone head. The RG75 sounds closest to what your thinking about gettingl. I think you should definately buy the amp. You will be very happy with it.

Guest
