Randall rg-80 combo….

[JackBootedThug]

Do they dime?

 

[anomaly]

Yup, they should. Especially if it's the 80's rg80-112sc. Just boost the shit out of it.

One popped up local and I’m not to squared away on Randall products. I would be running it through a 4x12 btw….

I used one in my first real band.
Ran it through a Carvin 4x12z
I used the old DOD Bi-FET preamp pedal as the boost.

How was it?

How was it?

Well, this was almost 40 years ago.
It didn’t sound like EVH’s Marshall.
I did like it though.
Especially with the DOD boost.
It was MUCH better sounding than the Peavey amps I’d been using before it.

Maybe you just need to spend 5 min alone with it and see what you think

Hopefully it’s got enough gain to sandblast skin….

I had a Randall RG-1503-212 combo, that was damaged by UPS, and they lost the footswitch, but the amp worked. 3 channels, channel three was brutal high gain. Very good amp, but finding the footswitch was tough, I never found one. I liked channel 1 clean, and used channel 2 for rhythm and 3 for leads.

The old Randall RGs are kind of like solid state JCM800s. Boost it a ton and you will get Pantera tones.

wasnt Lynch using one of these mic'd up backstage in the 80s?

Lynch and Gary Sunda designed the original Randall RG amps together. Or at least Lynch helped. They were going for a SS copy of one of George's jose modded Marshalls.

That’s interesting…
GL was involved in a ton of shit over the years.

I've got one sitting in my basement.

Can't run them into an attenuator or power station. Something about the way these are grounded. I emailed Randall about it.
