Hey! My names mike and I got a bit of a problem. Currently I'm using a peavey Bandit 112 and thats great and all but its time to upgrade. My mate has a Randall Warhead and thats totaly awsome and I was wondering what other Randall solid states are around and where can I get them from? Im not much of a Tube or Valve fan. Call me picky but theres something about them that bugs me. So yeah, information would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Mike.
 
there is only 1 line of amps that randall now make which are pure solid state, the RX series. ive never heard these amps used on their own, but ive heard the RX120D half stack run with a dime distortion pedal and it sounds really good. Randall also make the G3 line of amps but they are hybrids, not sure how they sound but ive heard good things about them. If you want to go second hand I recommend ebay, there a dozens of solid state randalls on their all the time. I recently purchased my Warhead from ebay, best amp ive ever heard. check out these links:

I use a WRAHEAD also. I'm not a big tube fan myself they are a bit sensitive. I use an RH200SC for a backup. It's a n older model but I have seen them within the last year around me still. Check the used gear shops. You' d be amazed by what you can find.
 
I think the Warhead, Cyclone, and Titan are SS amps with great reputations. The new Randall T2 and V2 are both $1,000+ and are both hybrid (solidstate+tube preamp). I've got my heart set on a T2 after hearing disappointing reviews of the RM100.
