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.
