Randall 667 Video Play Thru (EL-34's in the Amp)

[maddnotez]

WOW!!!

Thanks for posting, I know this shit is time consuming.

I like it, maybe not THE ideal tone for me but I'll be damned if you can not find a usable tone from that beast. It is like 15 amps in one.

Everything from clean to metal and everything in between.

I wonder how it would sound with KT88?

Also curious how does it feel in the room? Is it wide? and to you is each channel just another gain stage or are there voicing options as well? Hard for me to tell without spending alot of time with the video.

When you say spending lots of time with the video...do you mean actually watching like all 11 minutes or so of it?

Haha no, I meant going home and listening on a better speaker system than these crappy headphones I have at work and then listening 2-3 times to try and hear if the voicing changes at all.

With the headphones I have now it did not sound like there were any voicing options and the channels gave more gain stages as you go up but I am unsure what the buttons are that you were changing with each channel.

I thought maybe a bright switch, boost switch or a voicing switch or something.

Doing some math on the back of a bar napkin here, you can look at it this way........each pair is sort of an extension of the other. Channel 1/2 would be some sort of Fender type voicing, Channels 3/4 in the Marshall realm and 5/6 in the Boogie corner.

6 channels, each with bright switches, each pair with 3 way mid voicing, each channel with programmable LMH gain voicing, each channel with programmable boost. There'a also a programmable MV2.

6 channels with bright on or off. There's 12 options.
12 settings with 3 way mid voicing. There's 36 options
36 settings with LMH gain boost. There's 108 options
108 settings boosted or not. There's 216 options.
216 settings with MV2. There's 432 options.

So, with 432 options at your fingers from 6 channels, how the hell can a person not find something in the this relatively low priced amp that they can get on with?

On top of all this, each power tube has an external bias for running singles, pairs, quads with a broad bias capability to run form 6L6's up to 88's. Tone are unlimited from this bad boy.

Good Lord that is completely insane. I would have so much fun with that amp. Endless possibilities seriously.

To add onto this ubsurd list of options I see in the picture that there are two Master volumes as well. I assume those can be used for each channel?

I am blown away by this amp.

Sounds great good crunch tonez.

I would like to know what you think of your new apogee Ensamble TB. I have a symphony I/0 but the options on that interface are killer.
