-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.
