I gigged with a Randall rg80 for 15 years. I discovered this amp in a shop in 1983. I was on a low budget and it was used and he was selling it cheap. Went home and plugged it in and pulled out the treble button and Wallah the greatest sound I've ever heard. My friend used to use it on stage. He would put it behind his Marshall. That's been my tone for almost 40 years. Damn I can't believe it's been that long.

The best thing about solid state is how well it could be soaked in beer, pushed down a flight of stairs and still work. Cool grab Ryan \M/

It depends on your tonal preference really. The 7B isnt nearly as shrill as the 57 or suffer from proximity effect as much, but it doesnt poke out in a mix as easily. If you need a vocal mic too though, I would opt for a used 7B before I bought two inferior mics for guitar cabs and vox.

Maaaaan, I've been waiting for someone to tackle one of these coming from a tube amp perspective. Sounds better than I expected. P.S. That "stale cigarette" smell is actually listed in the specs of this amp, so I'd leave it alone...

Hell yeah! That Six Feet Under The Enemy Inside riff at the beginning!!!!

I love Randall amps. My favorite is the one I currently use, the RH/150D with 1- 12AX7, it's a total beast....

The on-off-on power switch was used before three-prong power cords were mandated by UL. When the three-prong cords were added after the fact, the technician would simply rewire the switch so that both on's were identical. Soon such on-off-on switches simply disappeared. The three-prong cord was a much safer path. TThe circuit was quite sophisticated when it was first designed in the late sixties, and it was slowly evolved with slight but significant improvements over time. It was conceived as a Fender sound with less crunch or grind. Country musicians often preferred Randall to Fender because they didn't want any crunch or grind in their sound. They wanted clean, clean, clean. Used in that way, the circuit is impressively quiet. The distortion switch on one channel was a trick to cater to hard rock players. See Johan Segeborn's demo of the Randall Commander combo amp to hear how good the circuit really is for its intended purpose. The power amp circuit is interesting to analyze. The designer split the feedback path into two paths. One path for AC or music and the other path for DC. This also greatly reduced the damping factor to more faithfully sound like a tube amp for guitar. The original was a reliable circuit, though it did not use current limiting. The dual feedback mod offered a side-effect of current limiting when it was added later. The designer used transistors identical to the outputs to serve as driver transistors by adding another current gain stage. There was only the slightest reduction in current draw for the added driver stage. I believe it was a fix for the lack of high-gain power transistors. It must have improved reliability and clarity at high volume or heavy load. It was clever engineering.

I appreciate the in-depth info about one of my favorite amps of all time, not only used on CFH by Dimebag himself, but also used by Dimebag on Great Southern Trendkill (my personal favorite guitar tone ever)

I have taken apart a lot of these amps. One reason, besides no fragile tubes, that it's so tough is that the actual amp only takes up a small section of the Marshall style cabinet it's in. It's like having a big box protecting a small box within it. These are also very easy to troubleshoot and fix if something breaks or malfunctions.

Siccccccckkkkk. Sounds killer. 🤘 Edit: the jackson I use all the time was smoke smell stained. Cleaned with rubbing alcohol and then used some lemon furniture polish and it killed most of that nas.

I know a local guitar player that has one of these and he wrapped it in fur and stuck mirrored Playboy bunnies on the front of it I'm pretty sure he has no clue as to what it really is and I can probably talk him out of it one of these days.

Bought my RG100es for $900 ,, but it’s so worth it ! It’s insane how loud it gets

Awesome job. This would be great in most mixes. I especially liked that mid-boosted 'cocked wah' sound you got there.

I read somewhere that the pull out treble knob on this amp is the "Extra Sustain" feature which is where the ES in RG100ES comes from. Thanks for the review.

Nice demo and info! Cool to see an up to date video of this vintage amp. I have 2 I got locally. One for $100 and a carpeted one with snakeskin vinyl for $150. Damn lucky to have them. Love the sounds when toned up with pedals! 🤘🏽

All you're missing is the Furman PQ-3 equalizer. Dimebag used it mostly in front of the Randall (the PQ-3 is also a preamp, sort of), sometimes he used it in the loop. This amp was co-designed by George Lynch (if I remember correctly, he definitely did the ES-80...). I had two of these in stereo, with the snakeskin tolex and the Jaguar soeakers. The 4x12 cabs had eack speaker in its own chamber. Super heavy. The pull-pot is cool at low volumes... the more you turn the amp up, the less impact the pull pot will have. Anyways, your vid brought back some memories! Cheers!

Great video! I own a couple RG’s myself and dig em🤘🏼

Cool BBS. Nice nostalgic tones.

The old randall amps are loud, tight and durable

Sounds so nice

For that modern late 80s early 90s sound its great!

Had to stop working to watch this haha. Love the curiosities series. Looking to own one of these at some point. I owed the DIME D100 which was modeled after this amp. Just found it to lack the crunch that the RG has. The D100 was more fizzy. Both are BEASTS in the solid state world. Great vid. Very educational.

I’m surprised you didn’t do a metal zone in front as a boost for that nola metal sound

Yeah KISS 90's era reunion with Ace and all Randall amps onstage was awesome! Kiss sounded great thru Randall. Yep I had one of those heads , too - ran stereo with a 4 x12 Celestion cab and a Roland jc 120 for cleans. Played a Fender HM Strat. Playing original rock in L.A./Hollywood. A la Van Halen 1984, Def Leppard Pyromania, Bon Jovi Slippery sound. With Eric Johnson /George Lynch shred leads. 2 guitars. Bought a Digitech Twin Tube and midi pedal - ran a Hendrix wah and Volume pedal. Got an offer to join a top tier cover band with a good booking agent. (GMA) Played 17 cities and towns with them. Hopped out, came home. Got the cover gig bug. Joined another band, went to Canada and played another dozen towns, came back to L.A. Had a storage locker sale and never looked back. It's been a wild ride, PSS. Bought a Kustom combo amp. (James Brown designed) Played 100's of jam nights in L.A. Pre covid. 2013-2019. 6 years of L.A. awesomeness. Gonna start a cheap gear channel next. Cheers, mate!.

Very thankful for this review! You did a great job. A lot of the critical commentary I hear about this head or solid state in general comes from people using multi layered, computer processed , plug in generated tones. This amp and others like it are analog beauties! Almost no modern player out there just plugs straight into anything. That argument is very silly. Great review!

I have a solid state Randall, and it gets super loud very quick!

Pretty sure I owned one of these in the early and mid 90’s. It had a fuzzy gray covering though! Had a matching cab too.

Hope this head serves you well. Nothing like scoring a nice deal on a piece of great gear and it actually works!

Awesome amp and also a George Lynch fave from the mid 80s!

friend of mine had one of these and played in a band with this head...i got to play live through it .....great rock amp.....getting expensive now

First off I love your videos, you do know what your talking about and very detailed to the point, which is a rare thing these days as far as KZread videos, that being said... I have owned the Randall RG100,- XP head, a friend bought it for $50 off Craigslist or something, which was unbelievable , H he drove 4 hrs one-way, so I obviously didn't pay anywhere close to that but $250. ... Because of Dime , it's has the extra power sold separately pedal built in it, and they were expensive, George Lynch and Randall was behind the RG 100, made for George, the pedal solved the volume drop on the gain pull switch, I absolutely love the thing, ungodly loud, it's just as loud as my Engl Blackmore, and your right it is a One trick pony, it has the awesome metal eqing built in core, the reverb is ok especially if you don't have reverb, anyways the only reason for my comment is the idea of removing the reverb knob function on it and replace it with a high mid sweep in it, to work in conjunction with the presence knob, high end sweeting , because it does have deafening treble/high-end, and it's fine like it is but I think that would really benefit the amp, it might make it more versatile, the notes have hair like sound which is the beauty of that sound, just a thought..... Keep up the great videos...!

Nice honest review.

Old school Randall with a eq! The only way to go. FYI, I listened to this video with headphones, and during the Metallica demo, the headphone speakers were buzzing! 😝👍 That's good stuff right there 👌

oddly enough i got a RH150D and have been so impressed with the sound even with no pedal in front

Ive got one from 1986 and i love it

that 8 string riff with the Zuul sounded quite monstrous!!!!!!

I bought the carpeted version brand new, still have it. It's cool for lower volume, when the master volume gets past maybe 10:00 the EQ changes and it sounds like it's coming out of a cardboard box. I remember reading Dime saying he couldnt stand the sound turned up beyo nd that level either, so he just added more stacks to move more air. I bought an early 5150 to solve the problem. But it was a really fun "home practice stack" at lower volume.

Our rosy cheeked Jesus delivers the goods again. Great channel.

Cool video dude! I really need to get mine fixed( effects loop wont work, high input doesn`t work and looses volume when played too long with the treble knob pulled)Mine is a 88 Zebra tolex model(aka CC Deville model) Glad you mentioned that it isn`t the chug monster everyone think it is straight in, it takes a bit of help, but ones it gets it, it`s chunky and chuggy 😎 It`s been my main head for some years now and I still love it. I am mostly a Marshall kind of guy, but it has this special sound to it that I have heard very few heads do. Kinda also wanna get an 86 Carpeted version, just cause that`s THE head for that sound.

Dimebag used two (2) EQs in front of the amp: first, a Furman PQ-4, then an MXR 6-Band. Boosting the shit out of the mids and highs, cutting bass and low mids, cranking the volumes on the Furman (the older MXR EQs didn't seem to have any gains). He used an over-glorified Tube Screamer system to get those raunchy-ass distortions but by Christ did those tones make history Edit: 21:14 *fuck yeah*

Nice! I recently got a rgt100es, it needs some work but I couldnt pass it up.

I've been playing on a Randall RGT-100 for years and I absolutely love it. Sounds a lot like this but it's the tube version of the amp. I never see it anywhere or reviewed anywhere.

I have the Randall RG13 for home use, simulator sound in a compact case. Nice pre-amp!

the dual on switch is a ground reverseable switch, which reduces hum, or electric shock.

that clean dirty blend sounds like a similar idea to Jim Root's 2 amp setup where he has one amp set cleaner for pick attack reasons. It's an interesting concept i haven't figured out how reproduce

I've had one of these since 1992 and used to run a dreaded Metal Zone through the clean side. I've really never experimented with getting the best tone out of the hot channel, but I need to. Lost my foot switch at a gig in Tennessee somewhere. It sure is a tough, loud amp that would overpower the PA quickly at most bars and clubs. Never chased the Dime sound with it, although he's my favorite guitarist.

I know i am a little late to the conversation, but you talking about using both channels at once reminded me of something. I used to have a quad pre amp, i dont remember how I found out, or if is just general knowledge, but if you had the FU2 footswitch, you could also run both channels 1 and 2 at the same time, by hitting the switches simultaneously. I was a little too green at that time to know how to exploit that feature, and of course since i was a kid, so all I tried was running both lead channels at the same time, with results i am sure you could imagine.

The reason for the dual switch is that there is a tube version of the rg100es, called the rgt100es, it uses one side of the switch as the standby and the other side for on, with off in the middle

I had one of those and could get a tone out of it for anything.

Subbed for the Six Feet Under riff

what you were saying at around 20 minutes in .... I also noticed on my Randall 1503 ..... The only way to describe it,like when I was telling my freind, it has its own kind of Growl tone even when the gain is not all that high & it makes playing lower gain heavy somehow because you can really wack the strings when u attack & it responds to the harder picking by sounding more growly. Not all saturated & fizzy, just Growly somehow.

You need the footswitch and the Randall XP-3 makes up for the volume decrease when you pull the treble knob SUPER rare!

It is refreshing not to hear that all-too-common static hash that accompanies so many high-gain demos on YT. Even with the Fortin pedal, the distortion here is dynamic and not static-sounding at all. I wish all amps behaved this way. It sucks to have high gain at the cost of adding loud white noise to the signal. I understand that clipping begets noise, but there's good dynamic noise and then there is just dead annoying hash.

But the good thing was all the US made stuff literally was still hand made, especially the tube amps

BLACKBERRY SMOKE !!!! Hell yeah brother.

Also I forgot to mention, it makes an Awesome Poweramp going in effects loop, it still has the Metal core, the Poweramp is it's main source for that sound, I've plugged EVH Overdrive straight in, it sounds even better with a small eq behind EVH of course, honestly that's the main reason I hang on to it is because of the Poweramp, it competes with tube poweramps on volume and girth....ISP Decimator pedals sounds incredible, it colors those pedals with the Randall balls and growl, the growl is impossible to tame out, try out your AXE 8 thru it, it retains the lows and tightness....I also have to note.... I'm speaking on behalf on the XP model, I haven't played the one like you have, I only read that the XP pedal is needed to boost the volume of the pull gain, that's built in my XP.... Made on the last year.... Which I'm glad I got that one, they were on the the extra power, it says 80 or 100 watts on the back but it's more like 200 watts with XP pedal, I'd love to pick up the 80 watt very rare XP 1x12 combo, they are work horses, but they are old and need to stay still, maybe rehearsal gear , but at the end of the day, it's the Poweramp section on this amp that makes it addictive, mosvalve on steroids

How do the 2 modern Randall solid state heads sound? How do they compare with this model here?

I have an Ashton solid state amp that I'll never part with. I can get an absolutely killer thrash tone on the dist channel paired with a tube screamer. I loved to demo it for people without them knowing what amp I was using then would tell them it's an Ashton hahaha.. Astonishment

Try a tube screamer in front, reverb pedal and eq in the loop. Channel one is where AC/DC lives - full gain with a Gretsch. Also the amp's reverb adds some gain

I did notice the clean had a DI quality....or lack thereof. I've never even seen an RG100 in person of any variation, so super cool demo. And as far as SS clean sounds, I've heard nothing but LOVE for the hideous looking ISP Theta head....people say it's the best clean channel EVER. That might be a stretch, but it must be really good at the very least. My favorite Randall's are the ones made by Randall Smith TBH. Not sure if that counts though.

Ryan, you should do a review of the STL Tonehub!

Do you possibly know what year it is? I'm trying to date it, but the previous listings of these without piping and the thinner horizontal shell walls/11screws aren't dated online. I've seen an 87 with the same shell, and found an original RG100es that sold with this same faceplate and knob types but no date on that.

I have an RG 125-212 combo, apparently the combo version of this head and operates the same way with the blendable channels. I agree not useful but a strange concept. I don't have the rare foot switch either. I lovingly refer to it as the giant MT-2 for its not so desirable tone as the naked amp but is an amazing dist/overdrive pedal platform using the clean channel into the front of the amp.

I just bought a rare Randall RG100ES, 4x10 combo. No foot switch though. I'll have to fuck around a lot more.
