Randall opinions

Any experience with any of these?
Randall Warhead
Randall Cyclone
Randall Titan
Randall V-Max

I had a 1986 RG100ES-SS that killed a while back.

Oh my god!!

I sampled the Cyclone at NAMM '04 and I spent at least 2 hours with it (with an annoyed Dan Donegan from Disturbed trying to talk to people behind me!) and let me tell you....that amp KICKED ASS!

I'm planning on getting one soon. Most people hate non-tube amps but I don't mind them. This one is by far the best one I've ever heard.

BRUTAL and CRUSHING gain saturation and low end 'thump' at any volume. I wouldn't say it's all that versatile but it does the heavy stuff extremely well.

Dare I say it....I tried a Bogner Uberschall as well and I liked the Randall Cyclone better.

They're around $1100 list price which translates to about $700 retail.

Check one out.

Re: Randall opinions

I did. I tried a Cyclone and V-Max. Both of them kicked major ass. The Cyclone is a monster. Tremendous thump. The entire store was shaking when I was playing it. The V-Max is more versatile and is very hard to tell that it only has a 2 tube preamp in it. I would have sworn it was all tube.

Re: Randall opinions

I played a Warhead while amp shopping and hated it. I have heard good things about the Cyclones though ( and not just in this thread [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

Re: Randall opinions

I had a Randall a few years back. I can't even remember the model, but it was solid state. Sounded great actually. I don't know how the new models sound at all really, but with the experience I've had with Randall I would recommend them. At least to check em out.
