I used two of them in my rig for a very short while. I was in talks about an endorsement from Randall but it fell apart the same time the band did.
The v2 Ninja does have noticeably more pleasing cleans than the "stock" v2, however all of the t2/v2 models look awesome on stage.
It has tons of versatility, the first time I saw one it was being used by a Jimi Hendrix tribute lol, it doesn't shine in classic rock or rockabilly. It is a metal machine through and through. It can get noisy fast, especially around lighting.
I'll try to find a picture with my eq setting in them but I generally used channel two with the loose mode on, gain pulled etc. for a semi 5150 lead channel tone, tons of saturation which was excellent for deathcore...not so much what I play now.
The lead channel covers a lot of space especially when you figure in the graphic eq.
They have been selling on the cheap lately and it'd be hard to go wrong if you do find one, the biggest difference in the ninja is the use of different colors and ruby preamp tubes.
Reliability has been question by some owners online but (knock on wood) i've never had a Randall die on me, and i've owned.
2x RG100es (old dime amp)
3x Century 200II (definitely my favorite ss amp of all time, not the most brutal or clear, but suits me perfectly)
1x Titan (no relation to titan amps on here)
1x cyclone. (warhead)
1x Century 170
1x Rg 150 w/eq (nasty sleeper of an amp)
1xt2HH (gus g sig, sounded awesome straight in)
and i've owned the regular v2 and two ninjas. The christian olde wolbers' model is quite scarce and sounds a bit more scooped at all times, old bandmate had one so I never took the plunge.
So yea, let us know how you like it, try to overlook the noise or use a decimator or something of the like, it's not an easily tamed piece of kit.

Used a bunch of these in Europe as rentals. They sound way better than i expected but don't expect true tube amp sounds. Def didn't sound like utter crap as I expected it to.
