There is a new catalog on the Randall website (pdf) for 2010/2011Nigel T. said:Is it me or has the catalog not been updated for ages? I cannot find the Plexi Plus on the site, the price list from my importer still lists the Brown...
How about the top of the page, where there's the old version of the RM4, and silverfaced modules!crankyrayhanky said:I'm still waiting on them to change the image on this page:

look at the pic that represents modules- the flagship 1086, lol
This takes 2 minutes to fix this embarrasssment
Me neither. I won't sound like Michael Schenker if I buy a Flying V. I won't sound like Eddie Van Halen when I put a Variac on it... At best I'll sound like myself on Eddie's amp or so...m0jo said:Haha personally I don't believe in the whole "he's playing that so I must get me one' vibe, especially in this price range where people have had some time to explore and mature (kind of :lol: )

Unfortunately there are still many kids that think that.
I got the 1086 because I listened to all the high gain modules and liked the 1086 best. The only way to go.

I wish I had that luxury, I kind of have to go by video's/clips/opinions.
Not many shops here that carry Randall So far it's worked out well though
I've just been talking with my rythm guitarist about this.
He was going for a HHS strat because he really liked the sound and feel and now he's wavering because some of his heroes use other guitars..
Which is complete bull because what you see them use is often not what they used in the studio and you are not that person, you need a guitar that fits you, not him or her.
It's the same thing with modules and other gear..
Communication failure again... :lol: I went by what I heard on the web as well. The store I normally do business with doesn't even have Randall. They do business with their distributor, so they can order it for me. I goto that store for the last 30 years or so and they know how I am. I know what I want, and they order it for me. Never have I been disappointed with what I got because of the research I do first on the web. Just too bad mosst of the Youtube sound is so shitty. P.S.: I am in Amsterdam, so I know exactly what you go through as I have to deal with the same importer/distributor.m0jo said:That's the way to do it!Nigel T. said:Me neither.

HHS guitar? Not HSH? I don't think I ever saw a HHS. Currently I have 3 Strats, a SSS, a HSS with coil split, and my luthier is working on number 3 that will feature a HHH in coil split.I've just been talking with my rythm guitarist about this.

And Hamner1... Indeed you should have gotten it when, and if, you could. There are many guitars and amps I had to let slip through my fingers because of money issues. Either they wanted way more than I was willing to pay, or I just didn't have the money.

Tried looking up the Highway One... Fender has a seriously annoying site. Yuck! I am way into custom guitars, as that is the thing you hold in your hand to play. If it doesn't feel right it will never sound right. All my electrics (7 in total and one bass) have been customized with most only retaining the original wood. Therefore I have goten way more interested in Squiers and Epiphones. After all... if all that is left of a Fender Stratocaster is the original wood... isn't it cheaper to get a Squier and do the same modifications to it? Guitars that are just not there I have my luthier make for me, like a Strat with LED lights in the fretboard. I even had him working on lowering the action on my acoustics, that much I am into customizing, or better, making it fit me.m0jo said:Haha we seriously have a communicating problem haha.
Dude seriously? I'm near Leiden / Den Haag!
Awesome to find someone this close that's also into this stuff!
Yeah he's going for a Fender HighwayOne.
Not really in the range of custom guitars but hey, you have to start somewhere!
He has a really nice Yamaha LP-ish guitar now and needs something on the other side of the spectrum, but it needs to be able to rock.
Not only was it in his studio in this clip, he was using it on the tracks. I'm sure Randall is his go-to amp. The RM100 is a fuqing great amp. even with stock modules. I know that may not be a popular opinion, but I think the stock modules are pretty **** nice sounding. Set up your gear correctly and they sound just as good as any Fender or Marshall in stock form. The modded modules are just that bit of audiophile push for excellence that takes this amp from production level to boutique level. Slap me if I'm wrong.JD said:I see he still had an RM100 amp in the studio.
