  Randall is a company that has taken the modular preamps by storm. They have build a market for preamp swapping that has ignited the guitar players around the the world. Though this amp is not a modular design it still incorporates the sound and tone that makes Randall power amp a thing of the future.
  
  
  
  This is one classy combo amplifier. This design has two channels with three modes. The overdrive channel has a vintage and modern switch. It has external speaker outputs to hook into a 2x12, 4x12, or any other separate speaker cabinet.

  Suono

  The 50 watt version is a little bit more spongy than the 100. SImply because there will be lesl headroom and the amp with distort quicker. Their distortion channels is what Randall does well. These two channels or one with a twist has enough gain for just about anybody out there. It is a thick and juicy distortion that is great for chugging and lead riffing. Randall makes one of the best distortion in the business and this is one of them.
  
  
  
  The clean on Randall are somewhat unique to my ears. They have a Marshall or British style voicing to them that is not that appealing to me. I have never liked a Randall clean channel. It is better than a Splawn that is for sure. The clean is sort of a harder clean that doesn't sound that glassy to me or even reminiscent of a Fender tube amp.

  Opzioni Generali

  At new these amps come in at around $560, which is a good deal for a solid tube amp with multiple channels. You can find them on the used market as well for much less.
  
  
  
  I would recommend this amp to someone who wants a decent clean channel and an over the top distortion channel for vintage playing styles ad new modern playing. This amp is very versatile and will serve its user quite well.

  All-tube amp.
  
  
  
  50 very loud watts.
  
  
  
  FX loop, two speaker outputs (4 and 8 ohms).
  
  
  
  Independent EQ per channel.
  
  
  
  Reverb...
  
  
  
  Two channels: clean plus dual lead (two very different sounds). Great if you like a big sound!
  
  
  
  I bought it in 2006...

  Facilità d'uso

  You'll easily get a great sound! I never had such a good sound.
  
  
  
  No user's manual.
  
  
  
  Review from 2006... I've found better. But I like it anyway.

  Suono

  Good amp for death and thrash metal, rock and grunge. The clean sound allows you to play jazz and blues... You can play everything with this amp from crystal-clear to extremely distorted and crunch and mellow overdrive.
  
  
  
  In short: perfect!
  
  
  
  I love every sound.
  
  
  
  The reverb doesn't have the same quality but it's enough to have fun.
  
  
  
  Update from 28 September 2007: This amp doesn't sound good with every effect pedal... I own a HM-2 and it sounds good only in the FX loop... Which is normal, the clean channel is not amazing... A bit dirty and the more I play it, the more I think about buying an amp with a better clean sound. But considering the price, this amp was an excellent choice, especially for a metal freak.
  
  
  
  Update, 2009: Don't expect a miracle... It's a good amp but it has a very typical Pantera sound and I would prefer a small JCM800...
  
  
  
  Oh and I heard it has a reverb somewhere...?! I'll keep looking... It's almost impossible to play jazz with this amp. But if you're not old and embittered like me, this amp is good to have fun playing Pantera^^

  Opzioni Generali

  I bought it June 2006.
  
  
  
  I've been owning it for few days and it's a true delight.
  
  
  
  I like everything about this product!
  
  
  
  (I would prefer a metal grid to protect the speaker better).
  
  
  
  I tried out a Marshall Valvestate, two Vox (AD50VT and AD15VT) and a Marshall MS-2. This morning I played an RG Prestige with a Marshall AVT 100W stack. And I received this amp this evening. I plugged my ibanez with SH8 pickups into it... and surprise: The sound was much better! (and my Ibanez looks more beautiful). A delight! Compared to Vox models, this amp sounds twice as better. Compared with the Marshall models it's ten times better! I'm very happy.
  
  
  
  Excellent value for money: you get tubes for the price of a solid-state amp. I love the warm and dynamic sound of this combo!
  
  
  
  I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again... If I had more money, I would buy a Randall stack... Scott Ian's stack for example...
  
  
  
  28 September 2007: The amp broke and I'm not sure about it's reliability. It's pisses me off because I'm a fan of this amp (see my highly praising review) but I can't recommend it if it's not 100% reliable... Perhaps I'm unlucky. I will decrease the mark because of this.
  
  
  
  Update: I finally replaced the high-voltage fuse of the reverb tube and the amp worked again. I was worried without reason. So this amp seems to be a good deal... Good distortion. It's a bit like a 5150: fat distortion, crunch and average clean sound. The distortion sounds a bit British. I usually tune in B and this amp matches it perfectly.
  
  
  
  Update:
  
  
  
  This small Randall is only ok! I'm thinking about buying something else (quite normal after 5-6 years).
  
  
  
  It's ok if you want to have fun and play two gigs per year.
  
  
  
  If you want to record albums and play lots of gigs and if you have many fans, you'd better look into something else... A Marshall Plexi, a JCM800 , a Rectifier, a Peavey XXX, etc. Avoid losing your time with a small combo...

  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

  Facilità d'uso

  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.

  Suono

  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.

  Opzioni Generali

  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.

  Everything has been already said

  Facilità d'uso

  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

  Suono

  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.

  Opzioni Generali

  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.
