I just had my amp serviced. RM50. For my amp, the problem was the BIAS POT. It had gotten fried and the slightest bump would cause all tubes to run wild (for a lack of a better description). Cure = new bias pot and double checked all soldering. Got some new tubes, too. Love these amps...

Wow. I sent an message to Randall CS earlier in the week - my RM 50 has had a busted end-cap on the handle for some time and I was trying to find the correct part. Ryan (in service) got back to me immediately. He is sending out an entire new handle AND a new Randall logo for the grille by...

Man, I would love to have one of those Randall Neo cabs, but the $ is never where I'd like it to be. Plus, my hard earned cash is finally going towards a new guitar. See guys - owning a Randall HELPS you save cash from never spending on other amps! Ha.

Boss BD-2 all the way. Very low gain/high vol for an awesome push with just a bit of hair on it. By the way, it can get pretty greasy if you want it to. I've had modded ones too, but just a stock BD-2 is what I use with my Brahma. I also have a modded SD-1, but I pretty much use this to push...

Dude - I wish. I love Clutch. Just an amazingly tight/loose and heavy band. I think I've got pretty much everything they've done besides the new DVD/CD but I wouldn't say they are a primary influence. Maybe subliminal... Thanks though - love that band.

Lucinda Williams + qualudes + badass marshall tones. I like it.

Yes - I run the Brahma with the gain at about 4; the level just about all of the way up, and the master as high as possible (depending on the club/situation). I goose it with a stock BD2. I run an SD-1 after the blues driver, too...just to push it over the edge.

Thanks for the positive feedback, fellow Randall-Dudes. I can't tell you how awesome it was having this RM50 in the studio. Tons of tonal options, and I thought it worked out great. I'll post some mic setup pics and more clips soon. I was wishing, however, that I had a Randall cab with the...

Hi! We've got some new tunes up on the ol' myspace page. Just completed + released a five song ep. The two new songs that we've got posted from the session are called "Hayabusa's Lament" and "New Demons". I'm playing a 90s modified tele (and a 1977 SG for the 'beefier' parts) and using my...

Opinions? Description of the JSX speakers? I could have one for $350...sick deal...but don't know if I want to bother with a 4x12 after years of 2x12 gigging. Thanks!

Man, that metal zone is not going to sound cool as a boost. Yuk. I've always liked the Boss Blues Driver as a tubey/gritty boost MUCH better than any tube screamer copy. Check out the Keeley version. Try an SD-1 too - although it will rob some low end/low mid. KE

I've been wanting to check ALL of those pedals out. The modulation dual-design looks excellent as well. Still - whenever I start considering these things I wonder if they can beat a good 'ol pedal board w/ multiple boxes.

I would LOVE to see this/hear this when you get done! :D :twisted:

I am totally bummed that we aren't seeing any new Randall gear at NAMM 09. I'm sorry - but for most people, the RM12 seems pretty much useless. I cannot wait to see what they come up with (especially new sig gear/modules)... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

Well, the Brahma is pretty clean sounding and tone wise I think owns the pretty much anything else that Randall has released that is 'british'. LOVE the Brahma. Agree - Super V is definitely a VOX IN A BOX! Great quote jimosity! Hard to beat the Lynch models. Will we ever see more?
