Let’s have a little fun... guess the amp! I will divulge I’m playing a cabinet loaded with vintage 30’s.

My playing is completely mindless. In fact, I didn’t even warm up. I had 10 minutes to set it up, pull out my iPhone and record.

Those of you who chat with me via text or FB...please don’t give it away. :D

Amp is a bone stock 100% original 1986 Randall RG100ES. I’m playing through 2 Mesa Boogie traditional 4x12’s with a Guyatone micro delay in the loop. I’m using a Boss SD-1 to add the drive.

I hadn’t used the amp in ages and pulled it out and spent some time with it. It isn’t super versatile, but it nails that 80’s sound and with a current high gain pedal, could easily sound modern. It also feels great in the hands and is not sterile like some amps I hear.

So basically, a $300 amp with a $30 pedal can easily keep up :lol: :LOL:
 
Whatever it is sounds nice and aggressive. Looking 4ward to the reveal.
 
Some more hints... it’s an amp head and I’m using a Boss SD-1 out front set more for boost than distortion.
 
Boss Katana? IDK Just trying to come up with something unexpected.
 
I'm gonna go with the Katana too. Amazing if it is. Sounds like a Friedman or something.
 
Cool. Is that the 80's solid state amp that Lynch used?
 
Thank god it wasn't an AXE... that's all I care about. It was too tight and clear to be that anyway. I just pulled out my stock SD-1 two nights ago as well. This pedal still brings the good on an older MArshall!
