I talk about the old Solid State Randall RG80ES & RG100ES popularized by the late, great, Dimebag Darrell, and fire up my 1989 Randall RG80ES and search for cool tones!

The main thing that blows me away about solid state amps is how much hate they get for just being solid state.

Ya I think there are just sworn tube guys or solid state guys and there’s just guys like me that don’t really care as long as it sounds cool. I’m just Trying to make stuff sound cool, haha, but what draws me to some of these amps is that they were used on some of my favorite records(tones) from the 90’s. I have some tube amps on my want list as well! Robb Flynn said on his podcast(excellent episode btw Dimebag special) that when they recorded Burn my Eyes they were A/B between dimes tone on vulgar to their tone and he was playing a Peavey 5150. Sounds nothing like it imo but it’s super sick too in its own right🤘🏼

It's making me wonder...why didn't these amps forever dispel the "tube vs solid-state" snobbery that continues to this day? I'm normally a Marshall plexi/tube guy all day, but this Randall just KILLS IT! Oh, and thanks for the informative vids!

A great friend of mine just gave me a Randall RG100 G3 Plus amp, for nothing, he reckons it doesn't work but I think i can get it working again since I have a complete set of schematics for it, the amp uses a JJ ECC81 tube in the power amp to modify how the power amp clips at full power output, it also uses two Celestion speakers.

Cool thing about solid state amps is the price! Other than the legendary Ampeg vh140c under the randall in the video are pretty damn cheap. My rental band room has one really cheap ss marshall head and it totally works great for death metal. Marshall valvestate 8100 (used bu Chuck form Death) costs only around 300e and the ampeg goes 400-800 which is crazy because so many big bands have used them for +20 years and the prices haven´t hit the roof!

The Fortin era RG line is quite capable if you understand, Mike Fortin designed them the be boosted up front.. I found the truck load of tone variations by sticking a mxr 108s 10bnd up front.. turn gains on 2-3 down to almost nothing, and starting from there.. "Less is more" with the Fortin RG line Very versatile for everything from 80s, forward, and designed with expanded range guitars in mind.. It's not all that bare bones.. but boost the front? Holy grail.. like a hidden feature that noone wants to talk about.. Boost the front end of a Randall solid state.. DONE!!

How did you record the amp without the high gain hiss? I have two of these and I thought it might be a grounding issue. I try to record them and there’s just a stereo hiss as soon as I turn it on. Have you done anything to the amp? How did you record these?

I don't remember exactly the eq but I probable cut some harshness around 4k. I have a noise gate as well, amps are stock to my knowledge. Cab is impulse responses. Thanks for stopping by!

Sounds awesome! But the low end still sounds fake. The sizzle and low end from solid state amps can’t match tubes in my opinion but that’s just my taste 🤪🙂 But it did get pretty rad with the 808!!!
