RANDALL RGT100 Fullstack - Metal

I acquired this Randall RGT100 full stack from Germany! I've been chasing it for a while and thanks to Frank Fleckenstein he arranged so it could be sent to me!

[@johndude2726]

Nice stack Ola! It has that nice Randall Dimebag sizzle in it

[@Abundant_Sandwich]

He opted not to make this a "Will it Chug?" because it would have been the shortest episode ever.

[@Jeroen_K]

"Will it clean up?" would be a great series, but probably not suitable for this channel.

[@StrickleeFpv]

Lol I think it chugs as the power switch engages lol 😂🤣🤘🤘

[@mattberg6816]

@@allboutthemojo an attenuator is the way to go

[@toemasmeems]

@@allboutthemojo man that’s hard to explain without giving you a mini class on tube compression, basically a volume pedal won’t do what an attenuator will do. And attenuation isn’t just turning the volume down it’s sort of like putting ankle weights on for weight training, the tubes are still doing work you’re just not going as loud as normal with attenuation. Tubes need to be pushed to get a good warm distortion and you can’t get a tube hit without cranking the volume.

[@CrushingAxes]

How tall are you? Ola: - 2 4x12 cabs and a head.

[@DennisTrovato]

Plus one pedal

[@Galluu_]

I don't know about Sweden, but in the US the standard door frame is 80" tall. I have to duck through them when I wear shoes and I stand 6'7". He looks about 6'6" or so @8:33 or (196 to 200cm ballpark)

[@Rforce78]

He's probably around 5'11" 6'

[@ianlahaye9476]

I think he said he was 6'5 before.

[@scottishbawbag315]

I'm 6ft 10 imagine me with door frames.

[@RolandDeschain1]

I love how Ola is always keeping Dime's legacy alive. BTW, if you haven't read Scott Ian's book 'Access All Areas' there is an epic, hysterically funny Dimebag story in there that is probably the highlight of the book.

[@Frater_I.O.]

@1988 I bought the solid state version of that exact amp and one 4 X12 speaker enclosure with Jaguar speakers from Stryper's salesman Kevin, at Alta Loma Music, in Alta Loma, California. Mine had (literal) carpeted covering (not vinyl) for the cab and the chassis head, a rack mount version, was installed in a smaller, carpeted enclosure. It served me well until I sold it to Music-Go-Round in Kansas City @2000, because I went back to Marshall tube amps. Randall are a great guitar amp for "Metal".

[@kalebk0422]

Now let's hear the century and rg100es through those jaguars!

[@knl_m]

And I bet the century 200 sounds evil through them

[@brpadington]

I have wanted a Century to get the White Zombie tones from Astro Creep.

[@justinyarbrough5986]

J yuenger is one of my favorite unsung guitarist (along with John christ from Danzig). La sexorcisto rips ass from start to finish. I wish he would make more stuff in that vein. I follow him on IG and he produces from what I can tell. His tone on white zombies cover of Children of the Grave was killer. Also Feed the Gods from the Airheads soundtrack

[@brpadington]

[@stug5041]

For better or worse, that’s the Randall sound. Would love to see an A/B with the solid state ES… this sounds like an ES from the video so would be cool to see the difference of the tube power section in that setting!

[@glenclifton4563]

I still love that sound and I'm 63 years old. Love the full stack and the cross but the Solar was great too.

[@RolloTomassi]

Screen capping all these settings! This is basically my live rig.

[@ethanprecht8031]

Ola!!! This was by far the most kickass amp demo I’ve ever seen. Good job bro!!

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Thanks for spreading positivity Ola. I appreciate your attitude the most and then your guitar playing skills. Well wishes to your family.

[@Soldano999]

I've been waiting for this to happen. I was NOT disappoint-ed. That TS9+Randall sound was absolutely phenomenal. One of your best sounding gear reviews IMHO, along with the Marshall DS1 and the Revv G3.

[@DidiHyena]

Makes me happy Rock and Metal is not dead cause Ola brings that feeling back...the feeling all guitar guys knows on their way to find the sweetspot of an amp...to test them and hope to find the best sound....awesome🙏

[@joshww2339]

What's crazy, is how different this sounds! The solid state version is so much tighter and nastier. The tube RGT has that tube flub and sag. Wow! This is amazing.

[@rodrigotrindade7849]

I like when you review something that you really like it. There is some kind of passion in your eyes and we can also see that it is an excitement moment for you. Keep going, Ola. Cheers from Brazil

[@JSG-mw4qr]

I'm learning what really matters for high gain amps is EQ before the amp and EQ in the FX loop. You can make just about any high gain amp sound great with proper EQ. Something I should have learned from Dime but didn't, I kept thinking "I need this exact amp with these settings" I've since learned the troof

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

My dream amp back in the 80’s. I think it still is after this demo. Thanks Ola! Worth the wait.

[@abhayprakash6070]

Is it just me or is Ola standing and playing a diffrent mood🔥🤘🏽

[@leebridenstine2806]

Sounds great, man! Congrats on a massive score!

[@ppmguire]

It's so awesome to see Ola enjoy this rig. The RGT100ES has been my main amp since I was a teenager. I just wish mine looked as good and I had the cabs!

[@n_i_t_u_s_]

Every time when the Time riff gets played, I just go "Fuck yeah, thats the shit!". Puts a smile on my face. That gold Solar looks so good!

Dude, you standing there with that cross around your neck gave me a moment of Dimebag swag feeling. You own a bit of it, Ola.

[@Nameless_Bastard]

I love the way the old Washburn dimes had the natural mahogany sides and back with the top being fully custom painted. Really popped on stage and off! And that heel at the base of the headstock on those were killer as well.

[@seanmurry6903]

I owned 2 RG100ES back in the early 00's and I loved it. Ran a 15" black widow cab +4x12 was sick AF I miss it sooooooo bad some days. It died. No one could save it. When I bought it, it had been sitting in a dusty pile of a music shop for over 6 years. They practically gave it to me

[@stitch7779]

That's one special rig. Brings back lots of memories.

[@joshww2339]

I think the Bill Lawrence style hot pickups work extremely well with these Randalls and a boost. The clarity and bite is insane!

Olbag Englund! Thanks for this preview of a rare breed Randall and I can imagine Dime dinging his own guitars near walls while jamming.

[@nj1255]

Very nice video! A perfect birthday gift :D The amp sounds amazing. Glad that they didn't do the opposite, with a tube pre-amp and solid-state poweramp, it usually sounds much better with this configuration.

[@tia6217]

I really enjoyed this video!

[@TheKannielu]

Thank you for doing a video on my favorite amp. I own two (87 and 89). I need to add an 88 (the one in the video). A few random thoughts about the amp. Nothing wrong with the Pull Sustain. It's meant to drop the volume. It is my favorite setting. Feels to me like a modded marshall and makes the volume more controllable. The preamp is tube. The preamp uses 4 12AX7's and an 12AT7 for the reverb circuit. As for comparing tone to the RG 100 es...I bought the Rg in 1987 and the guy at the store had me try the RGT. It was twice the cost. I came back 2 weeks later and traded the RG back in for the RGT. I got better tone and gain going straight in. My buddies that had the RG had to use a bunch of pedals to to eek out a decent sound. Oh and the clean channel... so warm. There's more to tell but I'll stop. Takk Ola!

[@kalpunga6105]

The struggling is the best part of the video man keep it up

[@maxkov03]

This has to be the best tone I've heard from Ola

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

It was still relatively quiet, even with the tube screamer engaged. Awesome rig!

[@DemoDick1]

Ola wisely stands off to the side, thereby avoiding a Marty McFly incident. Veteran move.

[@StrickleeFpv]

Yessssssssssssssssss lol love that part blows him right across the room I can't see a stack without that in my head anymore still want to try to make a replica . Not that's blows across the room but could look cool with a standard stack behind it

[@Charlie6969]

It also sounds better to the side.

[@Nospoon777]

Well done Ola!

[@lexingtRick]

Those speakers have lots of tone. Very impressive.

[@jakersrule7267]

I have a Randall Thrasher 120W. It was mislabeled as the 50W, so I got it for about $700. I’ve tried to compare it to 5150’s, Rectifiers, and various other amps. Out of all the amps, I’ve loved the coloring the Thrasher has, as well as how versatile the amp is. Absolutely love the amp.

[@FaCePlaNt_4_YAHUSHA]

That's awesome I wouldn't mind have that also lol. Randall rules. I want a RG3003H3 head. The balls on Randall is amazing. I'd take Randal over Mesa now.

[@murphvienna1]

When the room mic sounds almost like the one in front of the speaker, you know this stack CHUGS :)

[@peachmelba1000]

That thing sounds really good. Btw, the tolex reminds me of the type you'll find on some vintage Ampeg combos.

[@pitthefrit6292]

The Volume drop in sustain-mode is perfectly normal. Sounds very close to my vintage R80cs 112. Never knew that the Randall RGTs even existed. It must be ultra rare. Thanks for the video!

[@DanGower]

Awesome video Ola, always wanted to hear this amp/cab setup! The Volume drop happening when you pull the Master is actually diode clipping, which acts like a compressor/limiter and is supposed to drop the volume. Just confirming this after reading the schematic of this amp. It's kind of like a Jose Mod style circuit. Cheers!

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Aha! The Randall fullstack from my local music store. Does the old price tag still say 4900,- (probably still Deutsche Mark, not Euros) or something?;)

I had a tube works amp from 90s or late 80s had the same config. solid state and power tube section. nice.

[@richardlanz3087]

Was fun to see some older gear with great tone; especially since most hibryd rigs seem to keep the pre amp tubes and replace the power amp stage with solid state. Also even though the two Washburns share the same 'specs' the quality of the second one was readily apparent , in my opinion. Cheers, and keep on chugging Roy

Very loud and nice, specially for the price, that was a lucky day. I even connected an oldl digitech rp2000, the clean, chorus and extra distortion form the digitech sounds really nice and brutal.
