Played a Randall 667 today

I went to Atomic Music and they had a Randall 667 so I had to try it out.
This is probably the most overkill, outlandish high gain amp ever made lol
It has 6 channels with 3 voicings per channel for a total of 18 different tones!!!
Plus dual masters, dual switchable loops, full MIDI etc
It's just a behemoth of an amp with a ridiculous amount of features.

So of course I had to try it out!!!!


How does it sound? Pretty amazing actually. It has a hot rodded Marshall/Soldano character throughout all channels. And it really does everything from clean to breakup to hard rock to ultra high gain extremely well. Despite the ridiculous amount of switches and knobs, it was fairly easy to get great tones. Actually, it's hard to get a bad tone out of this amp. Every single mode/channel sounds great right away with all the knobs at noon and it's easy to tweak from there.
There's no flub or harshness on any of the modes. Master volume works great and the amp sounds good at low volumes.

Overall this is a pretty impressive amp. It is very well-thought out and it sounds great. Despite the absurdity of the size/layout it's actually pretty straight forward to use.

It's certainly not the amp for me, I barely switch channels on my amps these days, but it's a really cool amp nonetheless.

Fortin used to have some clips on his website of the Meathead, which is basically the 667, that sounded amazing. I think there is a YouTube of Ola playing the Meathead too.

Looks badass! Never played any Fortin designed amps but would love to.

I'm assuming that's somehow related to the KH103? Looks very similar.

In a "too damn many knobs, buttons and switches" contest, I feel like the Mesa Dual Rec Roadster would give it a run for the money...

Yeah I think it's the same amp without the signature.

I hope they played this tune live when he was with Randall. A Meatball through a Meathead.

I would suffer paralysis from analysis with that many knobs. But if it did super simple and open cleans, I can see myself being okay with an amp like that.
