great purchase
I had the fortin modded limited version of the old rd50h
it was a pretty solid amp, unlike most of the crap Randall was putting out in the last decade
good quality parts, top quality courvin, panel and switches and quite well designed
better built than a similar priced Jet City, which are also quite reliable amps
and tonewise, it was one of the best amps I ever played
very plug n play and goes well with lots of speakers, although it only sounded perfect with v30's and greenback-likes (middier speakers)
I imagine the new versions only got better, specially the 100w version
I just wish they release a more british voiced model with more mids
not that it's scooped, but it has a flatter american voicing, somewhere between old randalls and mike fortin's amps (it has a bit of the bones and the natas voicings)
the clean channel is the real deal, not some tamed plexi clean (although I prefer crunchy fake cleans)
the drive channel has a ton of dynamics, even with the boost turned on, and cleans up like a champ anytime you need it to
what impresses the most is the complete lack of hiss and the great articulation even with the gain maxed
it's one of the quietest and most articulate high gain amps I ever played, right along with diezels
just wish it had a ton of mids like the diezels (ok, I confess I'm a midrange addict)
