UTILIZATION

The receiver is of good manufacture, easy to use and covers a range of sounds from blues / jazz to heavy and hard as he does not wavered in quality style. This is a good amp for rpt, a fair bit of scne and well in the studio.

I use it everywhere. I am pro music and it suits me well. I use a Rivera amp in 2nd. The two compltent each in his own style.

SOUNDS

- Sound Palette wide for style I play (Blues, Rock, Jazz)
- Music Man Sub, US Fender Start 50th Anniversary
- Boost the treble give a good fishing for funky rhythms, the drives provide the crunch and big nag. Good reverb.
- I do not like the clean basic lack of depth, I love the clear sound when you attack the strings, C lamps crunch of happiness!!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months
Trs good report quality price. I highly recommend it or at least try
I work in music so I tried bcp amp
Excellent quality price
I would do without this choice hsiter.

Features: http://www.randallamplifiers.com/products/amplifiers/tube/index.asp

- Tube amplifier
- 50W
- 2 low and high inputs, 2 speaker outputs (8 and 16Ohm)
- 2EQ saparée per channel, one volume per channel and a master general. Reverb.

Frankly level features available there is nothing wrong. I do not put 10 because he does not finish other high end amps (visually without more, qq knobs go wrong, and I hear a vibration behind !!!), but the details ... he played well in the past GREAT!

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is relatively simple. We must learn to manage the volumes (master + channels) and two gains, but you get done quickly.
- This gives very good sound quite easily. Just touch a bit of EQ ...
- The manual is very poor or nonexistent ... shame ...

Let's add to that the precautions amp with a lamp.

I add also that for a 50W amp lamps, for use in a room is much easier than other equivalent mdel. The rise of the sound is very linear, especially clean.

I drop a little note in the manual. I really wanted to get some answers in the manual ...

SOUNDS

- It is totally my style of music. Anything related to rock! He can go hard to see heavy. I think we can onbtenir more violent with a good EQ pedal. The amp is a very versatile!
- I play with an Ibanez S470DX, and I add a big muff and a cry baby. The amp does not really need more ... Eventually I'll change my micro scratches, and I'll add a compressor, see EQ.
- In clean, one can obtain net and slamming sounds good (relative to the fender of course ...), but also thicker and warm. You can hear the lights! Cruncher can be easily clean the playing between the channel and master volume. Some will see a default, but for me I love the crunch natural! To summarize, in my calmer moments (Hum. ..), sounds cleans me fully agree!
But let's be honest, those who s'interressent this amp distortion that are more oriented clean. And there! very good service, see good trètrètrès! These range from the overdrive, big saturation. You can touch all that is Rock, to the extreme styles, hard, heavy ... see We may be able to do even more violent with a good EQ pedal. I think the rise of the lack of gain linearity, and it will take some skill to stay in the light ... distos Otherwise, low volume, distos are already correct but imprecise (normal! 50W lamps have the advantage!). When it gets up impressive. Guaranteed precision and big sound, too bad for the neighbors! Can be can be blamed a lack of personality in its grain it will work when changing lamps. But meanwhile, it is a treat! :
- I like the overall sound of the amp, the sound that I hate? when the master is at 0!

The rating also takes into account the fact that this is a first prize in this power range! I really want out if it is not necessarily better than other major brands (though ...), it can get at least as well (even better!) For a very (very very) lower !

OVERALL OPINION

- I've had two weeks, so I still have a ways to go with him. I would change eventually along the way
- I love all the features and functionality offered. The sounds follow. I like less (for picky ...), these two knobs (of 12) that squeak a bit and this vibration that I always know what it is ...
- I had a Marshall MG30DFX so there's no photo. I repeated in a studio or I have available a 5150 II head and TSL100 JCM2000. I play regularly on the fender hot rod.
The amp is very well positioned in relation to them. It was not hidden Marshall and his big sound typical or accuracy of diabloique Peavy, but Randall has nothing to be ashamed of his performance! There is only one step
- Value / Price is exceptional! I had to 600eu nine (postage included). We can not do better!
- I will remake that choice 200%

For me, this amp it all. My rating high enough stress again the report qulité price of the amp.

All-tube amp
50W (well supplied)
2 separate channels, a boost channel with a pedal connected to the amp with a 6-pin cable (or facade).
2 effects loop sensitivity

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, but you still have to spend a few minutes longer to make your choice, the clean is very crunchy if you do not pay attention to the volume knob of your guitar ^ ^. The manual is in English and totally useless because it only describes in detail the amp Oô

SOUNDS

Then against it by clear, it is argneux, sweet music player ^ ^ Back away, its 50W is a powerhouse, I do not push pa ais tojours thoroughly and believe me the cash q'uil lil ( small as it is still not large compared sure amp). I jou with LTD AX50 and franchemen for a guitar of this range, the amplifier Confair him a different sonoritée. the sound is pretty clean but still not crystal-clear (unless it comes from my cable? or my guitar Oo?).
Personally I love the punch disto, disto rather heavy quenq same ^ ^ ^ ^ RANDALLL it. Mle weak EQ's just being too effective for the low side distortion, it is better to invest in a small pedal boss for a styl its nikel chrome. (Nothing nasty by the way)

OVERALL OPINION

This now I use it for 5 days, what I like most, umm ... incomparable robustness for this price, do not get too hot, and the sonic fidelity, even at high volume, the sound is intact or better. that I am probably the least fragile lamps because it is important not to move hot (this I do not say whether either of the crystal) and its output short-circuits the HP HP Internal (Alez to the SM57 for repicage ^ ^)

50Watts lamps (sends the dough ^ ^)
2CH disto (I use the other as a Prinicipal I used to have a gain wiser when necessary)
2 channels clean (a clean boost and a normal one on which it gets very crunchy)

Submitted a not very reverb for my taste but I do not use that very little

Just the, the cause

UTILIZATION

The configuration is that you can expect to kind of amp, qualisation spar for the clean channel and distortion, volume control for each channel (clear and distortion) and master volume gneral.

The sound is perfect after a few REPEATED story to let the beast time honing his lamps, and off you go

The manual does not exist. Anyway, normally I do not see who'll need, the settings are intuitive.

It is really heavy so expect much to cool the lamps before the move.

SOUNDS

THEN ON TO GET THERE: D

contrary to the opinion post above, I find playing on the input (high or low) and the volume of the clean channel you get very easily have a very clean sound, but it's not the fender is broadly acceptable, people not taking the time to settle their s'tonner amp should not have a poor sound
I play a washburn possaidait three microphones that simple, I put Duncan Hot rails in neck and bridge, and I simply keep my middle and I just tell you that with my sound I get very simple crystal by adjusting the volume knob on my guitar and amp.

The distortion is mainly the strength of this amp. I play mainly death mlodique, the heavy trash and old to the maiden. This amp does everything and perfection.

Whether for heavy riffs or solos very heavy this amp is super Polivalente.

It is very heavy in medium, which is just as well for group play, which is not to say that not get it sound aggressive with this amp, however,!

I put the 10, and widely, especially considering the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for Christmas and I'm delighted
I compared it to peavey and I think both amps are not geared towards the same style.

The report quality price ... you know it is already what I think

With exprience yes I would do without hsiter.

Everything has been said, it was the 50 watt lamp, that a minimum oats anyway!

UTILIZATION

No problem to adjust the amp, but we need to look for a good sound and especially the one you want.
The manual is fairly brief but adequate.

SOUNDS

Contrary to what some say, this amp can really have a good sound:
The clean sound is not great but if you take the time to adjust the amp and it has an acceptable scratching, it may well be a more than adequate, and with an eq in the loop, we can better settlement.
The distortion can be truly excellent, not only is it a type setting with low-bottom, mid and treble to zero background we come to something! > _ <As for his clear, take the time to adjust. I play in a group of Death (Death and brutal Hardcore trends) and an EMG active in exploring, I find that the sound is really good!
Playing with the settings of the guitar, the amp (and incidentally a eq in the loop), we can generally cover all styles.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half, and the style of metal that I play, it is very good, and even blues, funk and jazz, it can happen to démerder to get an acceptable sound. Compared to the Peavey ValveKing, I find it much better and value for money is excellent! This choice I would do without hesitation, with this budget is, of course!

See below for features

UTILIZATION

Level config is very easy to use. The footswich is well: changing the channel, boost on the clean, choice of gain, effects loop or reverb. I have been aps manual not need the buttons are not so numerous and act well.

SOUNDS

While the sound was really what I wanted and what I want more! I sold this amp because I went on a config header + body. I do not put a notice for sale! The overdrive sound is beautiful, exactly what I wanted. The chopper can be really good crunch to the ac / dc Autti on the clean channel with gain boost in the beginning of the saturated channel. For the clean was a different story! It is nice but not good enough for crystal-clear that it really satisfies me.
Little trick that works very well, a little EQ pedal in the loop and it may well refine the sound, it works like hell!

OVERALL OPINION

I sold it because I could not keep your head + the combo, I regret it one bit! Personally I have never had a problem with. Some speak of a lack of reliability, may be yes, at this price we think that it must be the one to knock any lamp. I must have fallen on good series because everything worked nikel! I recommend it!

Amp-all lamp, 50 watts.

-Preamp: 4 Electro-Harmonix 12AX7.
-Lamps Power: 2 Electro-Harmonix EL84
-1 Hp Celestion Seventy 80's

UTILIZATION

It is not complicated to use if you know an amp handle. It will just take more care than a transistor amp ^ ^ (heat and cool lamps, etc.)
Good sounds are easy to get.
The manual is short and almost useless.

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything all styles, although I am primarily focused hard rock, and yet, this amp is quite versatile. I play on my epiphone sg special, waiting to offer him better, and frankly it's not bad ...
The clean sound is very good, although it is not his strong point. One feels the heat lamps, even if it's not Fender ... (sure, after an old Line 6 spider a transistor ...)
By pushing the operating level and the boost it generously crunch, especially with humbuckers. Very nice but this amp is not really born for this. Finally, it's still far better than the crunch of a Peavey ValveKing ...
When you press the switch the overdrive channel, you enter another world. The old metal sound is his strong point. It's really a grain of hell, very big and bad! If you're a fan of Pantera, go ahead, there are fairly sound of Sir Dimebag Darrell!
The two different gains are a good idea. The one is rich, warm and 2 is more animal, more cold. The two agree well for the shred or sixteenth-note rhythmic because it sounds more round.
By pushing the mids and lowering the bass and gain, we arrive at the right sounds for the hard-rock, while remaining quite modern. Aaah, the active equalizer!

EDIT: The more I play this amp, the more I like it ^ ^ The EQ works really well and you do not have to cut the mids to get a metal sound! For cons, the crunch is pretty bad ...

OVERALL OPINION

I recently acquired this Randall and I am perfectly satisfied.
I love the sound and the settings a bit different from other amps.
Before buying it I tried a Peavey ValveKing 112, a Peavey Classic 30, a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 401, a Fender Blues Junior. There I was all over, but most were too expensive for me, and I came across a good opportunity of Randall and I hooked.
The value for money is very good.
I would do with the experience that choice, unless you can buy more upscale.

An all-tube combo amp.
Power 50 Watts.
Lamp 2 power tubes EL34 Electro Harmonix.
4 lamps pr-amp Electro Harmonix 12 AX7.
HP Celestion 80 '.
Channel 2 Boost + channels (4 modes).
Fx Reverb spring.
Loop effects.
Pdalier pdalier 4 buttons included.

To see her is the face! 10/10!

UTILIZATION

The buttons are pretty clear, there is a qualisation spar for a clean one for distortion.

It is actually easy to get a good sound, more so in an apartment I was afraid that the 50W are incontrlable, but little trs play well in an apartment in the low-volume sounds not too bad.

The manual offers only the bare minimum.

9 / 10 was because of the manual.

SOUNDS

We do not hide it, it's randall so we just assume that it will send STRID!
Personally, I am more in the style heavy metal, hard rock, thrash and some death.
I play this amp with a Gibson Flying V, an ESP LTD EX-50 and a standard blade durango, with a Boss DD-7 in the effects loop.

Sound: Clean

Clean is the way I think, a little too much I find a medium compared for example with a Peavey Classic 30 on the classic mad at pat randall level clean.

with the clean boost is not too bad, for crunch against his soon to think down the volume on your guitar or get into the low input of the amp.
If not CRUCH is not too too bad but hey it is not yet a classic 30.

I take the example of the classic 30 in clean car price equivalent level is the best currently clean / crunch amp casiment all confused in this price range recess.

The sound: in saturating

You should know that there are two types of gain, one is hot and makes ass british 80s 85S and the other will be a little more modern, cutting edge.

The gain 1 (Vintage) is that the happiness, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Accept, Dio, Black Sabbath, riot, Manowar, ac dc, scorpions etc ... All groups of the 80s 90s are a port mdiator! the sound is hot, the mediums call out this vintage era, personal love and pushing the amp it becomes downright enjoyable! its still a little runny Dfine good if you push hard and that the distortion is crazy good but low background, however there is no need for fuck the distortion has to be back, even dja has half its getting too much for playing heavy stuff!

The gain 2 (modern) The sound is sharp, good shred etc ... or do some trash, death, black makes it great as well (there is no longer the famous bug of note is the time to arrive when we play fast, randall corrected on its Most recent internship series of RG50TC ).

In short this amp is made for the distortion is not just that lqualiser is not too bad it ion the diffrence following the change in medium and low acute that you want to do good but is not Difference as transcendence, it is better then buying an equalizer effect pedals and it's standard!

Voil if not for an example with respect to a Peavey ValveKing the ValveKing is wipe but then wipe but hard to randall ... is a simple ValveKing its sounds like a casi transistor, the finish is null and kind when you doing the background distortion has ben limited one wonders where she is the disto ... while even has half the randall has more distortion with a sound much warmer, more prcis, it will be lights on while the peavey randall ... is shit ...
Pis the ValveKing 100 watt ... bin limits and more powerful 50W randall Anyway, the randall is a bit more expensive but is 150 times better than the peavey I assure you! made a test you will be surprised!

6 / 10 to clean.

10/10 for the distortion so 8 / 10.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months now and I'm plainement meet these criteria.
I could test it live, and I just say that the bass do not disappear, you it is still necessary to know biensur rgler his amp ...
because some say that disappear when the bass are playing a high volume ... a if you passive pickup on your slide to the LOW input and not so high because if the bass will saturate if you have your bottom and do not worry even on the LOW amp potato! The HIGH is for the active micro!
Then in concert to Avoid low emissions has also its bottom is nothing ...
Anyway just to say that before that low saturates, one must first learn how to set his amp: p

Personal report quality price is unbeatable, the best metal amp on the market in this price range, you can jump on the eyes closed!

Yes I would do this choice unless I have more money, I took a head Marshall JCM 800 2205 with a baffle 4 * 12 Celestion Vintage 30!

9 / 10 final note.

50 watts tube amp made in Asia

- 12" Celestion Seventy 80's speaker

- Two Electro Harmonix EL34 power tubes

- Four Electro Harmonix 12 AX7 preamp tubes

- Two channels + boost (four modes)

- Spring reverb

- 4 ohm and 8 ohm output

- Line output

- FX loop

- Pedalbaord included

UTILIZATION

Easy configuration, 3-band EQ on each channel, boost switch in the clean channel, gain switch in the lead channel. So the EQ is shared by the two distortion channels. Very easy to use. You'll get a good sound if you take the time to fine tune your settings.

It's really worth its price as a whole.

SOUNDS

I've used this amp with several guitars. A semihollow-body Shecter C1E/A conceived for blues and rock. The clean sound is very muddy with this guitar due to the humbuckers and its mahogany design. But the crunch sound is quite round and nice with this guitar. It's great for blues and AC/DC stuff. The distortion is quite intense so the guitar sounds like a Les Paul with a warm, wide and rather imprecise response.

With my Ibanez Musician (manufactured in the late 70's and sporting two humbuckers and a body-through neck) the clean sound is nice, round and accurate. The crunch sound is not very good and I've noticed it loses precision... The distortion sound is better, very fat and wide but not too imprecise. But it sounds a bit too dark...

The amp sounds best with an Ibanez S-1540 Prestige. The clean sound is crystal-clear with the center single-coil pickup and positions 2 and 4. The sound is rather wide with the neck pickup. The amp is very responsive. The crunch sound is good but not exceptional. The distortion is very good: the amp is responsive, the sound is wide, ultra accurate and sharp. I love both distortion modes.

As a summary, this amp is quite faithful to the guitar and to your playing. Don't forget that it's a Randall, which means that the amp's specialties are modern sounds and distortion. I'm planning to sell it because I need a more vintage sound for my band.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good amp. No noise, no reliability problems. I've been owning it for one and a half years and I haven't had a single problem. I would definitely buy it again if I had the same needs as in the past (a big sound). But my needs changed and I'm now looking for a more vintage British sound so I'm thinking about buying an Orange or a Vox.

(Originally written by cpt caverne/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Everything has been already said

UTILIZATION

Very easy and intuitive configuration. No need for a user's manual.

Warm up the amp, plug your guitar and you're ready to rock

SOUNDS

It matches almost every music style from the old traditional blues to the most violent hard rock.

It's not the amp I would buy for death metal or Pantera but it's great for Rory Gallagher stuff, Metallica, AC/DC, Scorpions and many other ("Smoke on the water" also sounds great). The amp's second distortion type produces a Randy Rhoads sound.

The amp has a very specific sound color matching my taste.

It's quite difficult to get a perfectly clean sound because the amp crunches really fast (I play it with an ESL/LTD EX400 BD with active pickups)

Palm mute playing and overtones sound very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for over one year (the more I play it, the more I like it)

It's an effective and straight tool if you want to get a good sound without going broke. I like the fact that it's easy to use. I recommend it.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. I guess it's difficult to find a better amp in this price range.
