Man, that little rig smokes. So the amp comes separate from the module ? I never looked into the Randall stuff. Educate me on this.....

The MTS system is awesome. It can get expensive dependent upon what you do with it. The amp is able to accept up to two modules and there is a boost for each channel. The modules in the Randall camp are all one channel. There are several modders that make custom modules emulating amps like Orange, Engl, Diezel, and Soldano. Egnater make 2 channel modules with a shared EQ and independent volume and gain controls. The Randall RM22 can accept the dual channel modules as well but only channel A can be selected. Currently the only Randall amp that can be upgraded to accept dual channel modules is the RM100.

man Curt I did not know the recession has hit you that hard, at least you are keeping a good attitude playing that gear of lesser gods
Anything I can do give me a call bro 
Curt does not "make" gear sound good btw, he practiced his nuts off and brings the best that gear can bring due to flat out work.

That was great all around but the thing that really impressed me was how clean everything was on the Chord stops; Its like it was gated or the volume was quickly shut off...
I have such a man crush on you...

Thanks to everyone! This little amp puts a smile on my face every time I play it, especially with The Judge module. We talk about modded Marshall this and modded Marshall that and when I heard that Judge module for the first time, it went to very, very close to the top of my list for modded Marshall sounds. Dave Friedman designed it, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise, but I guess the surprise was that it sounded so cool in the 18 watt head. That's win/win for my applications.
Kage,
The amp was just that quiet. No gating or anything. Now granted, I had the gain at like 1 o'clock for the rhythms. I'm sure if I cranked the gain it would get noisier.
Another thing that is kind of funny, and I was going to put some text right on the part of video where I do it, you'll see a part where I turn the guitar right towards the camera as I play a D Major 7 chord at the 5th fret and an E7 chord at the 7th fret. I turned the guitar toward the camera and was going to put in text because I am freaking amazed at how clear and articulate those chords sounded. NORMALLY, when you start playing 7th chord and other extended chords with distortion it sounds like a garbled mess. But when I tried it on this amp, I was laughing and thinking holy crap.... I can play 7th and other extended chords and they sound cool.
I've had a couple people suggest it sounds kind of Lynch like. That is certainly a great compliment because he was one of my faves, but I don't hear it on this. I've heard other guys really nail it and it blows me away. If anyone hears that in here I'm not going to complain, that's for sure.
Thanks Scott, you are one of my forum faves too
! Sandman above said that I could make a 2x4 with a shoestring sound good and I thank him for that compliment. But, I really feel like I go through the same struggles and indecisiveness and insecurities with tone and playing that everyone else here does. There are many things I play through where I think I just don't like that at all. It's why I disagree so strongly with that whole "tone is in the fingers" thing. It's because I hear my fingers through many different amps and set-ups and sometimes I think my fingers sound like crap and other times, I really like what I am hearing and the difference is in the rig and not in my fingers. I still sound like me, but with crappier tone. And if the tone is crappier, I play crappier, no question.
Let's put it this way..... I really wanted to keep the guitar I used in the video. It's a really good one. But I got my Charvel Custom Shop within weeks of doing this video and I just can't justify keeping this guitar too so I put it back on the wall.
The neck on the Charvels is 1 and 11/16". The RM22 has a MAP price of $799 without any modules so it's not the cheapest of the low watt, recording amps. But IMO, it beats the Blackstar, the Tiny Terror, the Rebel and a few other small amps I have brought home so I could record late at night. Plus it is so versatile. The Mr. Scary and the XTC modules are way more saturated and just a blast to solo on. The Ultra XL module to my ear nails the live Rhoads tone which I may have mentioned in the past, I'm a bit of a fan of
And the SL+ has some great Marshall to modded Marshall tones too. But again, on The Judge module, it has two modes. Modded Marshall and Plexi. This whole video is on the modded side. But the Plexi mode on this module sounds killer too. You can hear me switch to it at :27 - 45 seconds in this video. Besides the fact that I needed to adjust the volume, that is pretty darn accurate stock Super Lead tone right there.
And this forum does have a good amount of Portagee's doesn't it? You, me, Zach, Billy Bogner/Kalaweiaheaeieuiauieaueis. Now we need to get Nuno here. But I'm only half. My dad is a full Portagee that married a blond haired, blue eyed wife. What kind of Portagee sell out would do that? Do you know anyone like that?

guitup too":ywm65twy said:I recently traded into the black retro mod Charvel in the video. It's on the right in the group shot. Killer guitar. The more I play it the more I love it.
Oh yeah, the clip sounds really good.
You ended up getting that guitar from TT? That was a great guitar. He has gotten rid of a lot of really nice guitars. I would hold onto that one. And the more you play it, the more comfortable that neck will get. Just use #0000 steel wool on the back of the neck, the fretboard and the frets when you change strings. It cleans the neck, makes it smoother and polished the frets. Just make sure it's the steel wool with four zeroes!
And again, thanks guys. All the nice comments are encouraging.
I just got an email from Joe at Randall and they put this video on the front page of their website..... that's pretty cool for a doofus like me.

This is a great demo...am sure the lead would sound a little thicker with a bit more volume but it's excellent as is...Curt-tastic! \m/
I really dig my lil' RM22 and modular setup....the EL84s really sing...it's insane with the SLOdano mod that Pete built.
I have an RM50 and RM22...I like the RM22 through my more 'vintage' cab (has WGS Green Berets and ET65s in it) and the 50 through the v30/G12h30 cab.

In all the great playing & tones, noticed that. Hard to find an od/dist that complies.
Got an RM20 combo with a blackface mod in a case I used to swear by as a stomp-slinger.
You've inspired me to unearth it & try on some gain boards. Thank you.

Thanks buddy! I'm surprised at the EL84's. Normally I like them but think they are a bit anemic but I really dig them in this amp.

Get The Judge module. If you are into Marshalls, this is THE module IMO. I have a stack of them.

Great Vid!
At first I wasn't sure about the Judge... then I found it a bit flat and needed more cut and wasn't happy, then I realized I like it especially with a Bad Monkey to help it cut a bit more. It really does take pedals well and depending on what I choose to record, I'll probably end up using it as well. I find it smooth though so if you want nasty, you'll have to get something else.. I have a Hilligan modded SL+ that gets me my Slash tones for that! I think the one module I am really interested in getting my hands on now is that MASHOLDANO. That thing looks and sounds awesome. The perfect marriage of Soldano or Marshall or both. What more could you ask for. Also, the recent Scott Ian modules look interesting. I'd love to hear the low gainer and the 1987x some more.
