Anyone know anything about the 90s Randall Pro Tubes?

There's a local guy that has a 92 Randall Pro-Tube 1000R rack mount head for sale. I've only really ever read much about their solid state stuff and never seen much about their tube stuff. I don't really need another amp, but well...I'm a gear whore. It seems to be a good price for something that's rack mountable and vintage so I'm checking it out.

I can't really find much info on it other than seeing some head versions for sale and a couple sound clips. Just thought I'd see if any of you guys knew about them or had one in the past or something.

Hmm, they must not have been very popular

I saw one of these in the 90's I believe they were still made in California at the time when Randall was still USA and quality built. USA Randall's were very well made. I think these have a little more gain than a JCM800 Marshall. Looks like a two channel amp, clean and overdrive, I would say go play it if the price is right it's worth it. Jerry Cantrell with AIC used one of these live very early on around 89-90, you see it in some old videos and it sounds great. I found you a clip.

I went ahead and picked it up yesterday evening and did the obligatory gut shots and all that. Hooked it up today to my Budda cab since its the only 8 ohm cab I have. It has a pretty good clean channel imo, and the crunch, to me, is a more medium gain crunch. Kinda like a stock jcm800 or 900 gain level. Its pretty easy to roll off the volume on the guitar and clean it up. Definitely not a real high gainer, but fun to jam on. I think it could still use some new tubes though.

What did you end up paying for it? Looks like around $400-500 these days which for a quality made channel switcher is pretty good considering a JCM80 is around 1K-1.5K. I imagine that guy is boosting it with a TS808 or somethingin the video.

Anyways congrats, I really want an RG100ES but I am afraid of the old S/S FETS in them failing. I had a RGHT100 Rack mount head a few years ago but it seemed to have issues. I think the new RG300H's sound pretty good for the money, but alas I have too many tube amps that I don't play enough as it is...

I had an RGT100 for a while. Great sounding amp, and loud as hell. The only real downfall is that they have a weird 6 pin plug for the footswitch, and if the footswitch is missing, they are not easy to find.
