The death HC and the rebirth of Randall calls for a new thread...


RG13 street price is around $250.

I want to try the new 300w RG so bad... I love SS Randalls

I wish the RG13 had the noise gate like the new heads do...

This is what I'm playing (not a picture of the actual amp; just one I found on the old internet). It's a surprisingly awesome sounding amp. Clean Channel, Dirty Channel and a Lead Boost as well. Does everything I need and sounds fantastic.

Im pretty interested in the RG13.

Re-birth of Randall ... What's up with that? did someone else buy them out?

new amp designer, Mike Fortin, signed up with em!

Thats good. Randall stuff (IMHO) has always been quality, as far as SS amps goes. Perhaps there'll be other goodies on the horizon.

am I banished from the SS world, since I got rid of teh RG100ES?

Loved my old randall v2 ninja And my old rg.Excited by the new randall products coming. Also love my isp theta awesome ss amp

Nope. I've sold two Randall heads, still have a combo...

Going to buy an RG100HT and make a mini head with this: www.carvinguitars.com/products/SV2

Speaking of ISP...

ISP Stealth ships in one month.

Im already missing my RG100ES

I have 2 Acoustic Control Corp 150s. They both need some work, but they're also about 40 years old. They're pretty damn awesome.

Sure, not like most of the SS amps usually mentioned I suppose, I like them.

Def look like things are looking up for them since Fortin joined them. Nice to see them reissuing the RG line.

ISP has a new 2x10 sub out!

My old RG100ES just rips with a boost. I bring it to band practice all the time and sometimes prefer it to my Mesa Boogie, just for the all out aggression it has. It kinda responds a bit like a tube amp in a way, as it sounds it's best at band volumes... it smooths out, and warms up when it gets louder, and it's just as powerful as any 100 watt tube amp, if not louder than most.

I had an Ampeg vh-140c that was pretty cool too, but very death metal sounding, while the Randall sounds thicker, clearer and more like a jcm800.

Sunn preamps!

After years on HC, they have been dumped!!! Its great that this place is just like old HC. And yes, I can't wait to try the new Randall amps. I heard one demo, and it sounded great. Tons better then most SS distortion. I'm still really tempted to get an AMT P2. I really like the sound of the demos. Heavy, but not raspy.

I played the head one time, and the clean channel was really nice. I wanted to buy it, but had no money at the time. Isn't that always the way it goes?

Are they even selling the RG3003H? I've seen them only on Gearhounds. I really want to try it.
