Randall G3 RH300 Plus Review - TTK Style

[TooleralusAEnima]

I see your a big Randall fan, same here. Have you tried the V2? I'm trying to get the V2, but first I have to find a new home for my baby the Randall RH 150D G3 Plus

[dg082306]

hey TK. dig the vids, some of the best for reviews, IMO.

DAMMIT BOY!

I need this amp... just don't have $500+ for one (damn mts modules!;))

[guitargod1598]

YO TONEKING!!! ever use the first run rh-100?i love this series!i want more randalls!

[TheGibsonFirebird]

I always enjoy your demos !!!! This amp is really awesome !!! thanks a million !!!

[UMadUJelly]

Please do a V2 and T2 vid!

[paulcappello]

Should have supported a local shop! Killer Amps I have one just like it. Please all reading, BUY LOCAL! Just ask for the same deal mom and pops music store and most shops will match! I own one and I would have matched it. killer licks too! Ronnie James Dio would be proud of you for his support on the RAM sign. Thanks for reading this.

[danielhanger]

Hey man, this amp has the same problem that rh150 head, wich is MUTED in high volumes?? Thanks for sharing!

[svenzia]

great sounding - thanks mr toneking. 

[zaneisbest]

is there any randall amp that sounds like the randall c200

[guerra37]

hey dude, just got a rh150. Could you please tell me what settings you use?

[TheImmaterial]

I've had my RH150 for about 5 years now and love it. Was looking for a marshall avt but this blew it out the water (so much more personality). I got vavle-state because I wanted a bit more warmth and character than pure solid state but didn't want the hassle and expense of all valves. The RH is a pretty good compromise I'd say.

[esplover1994]

do u would advise me this amp or the peyvy valve king 412

[Anarchyffan]

@esplover1994 Don't get the valveking combo amps, they suck terribley...

[metalfan0099]

@esplover1994 Stay away from the Valve king. For that money you can buy a good solid state amp. The Valve amps in this priceclass are mostly bad sounding. including the valve king. Go for the Randall!

-

sorry for my bad english. I'm from germany.

[joeyrotten101]

@esplover1994 Valve kings dont do cleans to well ,id go for this!

[GaganSambhi]

Do you think this amp would be good for me if i play a lot of hard rock like Guns N' Roses, but also play a lot of metal?

[narto1223344]

Now I know a lot about guitar setup. Regular, trem, Floyd Rose, but I have literally no to little knowledge on amps. I know what you are saying with the dials but with all the other stuff like cabinets and stuff, I don't have a clue. Can you help me out a bit before I go to buy an amp that they are throwing in my face saying "Oh this is cool!" But I don't know for sure.

[SlapphePikkur]

I wouldn't recommend using ANY Randalls without a post EQ. But when it first has a perfectly post EQ'd sound, with amp EQ'd dynamics perfected, it's the best metal sound i've ever heard. In my case, it was an RH150.

[bulletfmvrocks101]

would you recomend this for metal like a pantera ish sound?

[DimeRB2496]

@bulletfmvrocks101 yes

[jammyers2112]

@bulletfmvrocks101 NO of course not, not as if pantera ever used them isit!! lol

[GibsonRocker1958]

Hey, sounds great man! I am considering of buying this same amp, but i cant get info on the back panel... is there an Ohm switch back there? Is is switchable for 8 ohms?

[thelilEmoBoy]

hey man, i love all your videos and you tell me great things so do you think i should get this amp or a bugera 6260?

[26bond]

I lied....out of stock. Debating getting the RX half stack?

[26bond]

I lied....out of stock. Debating getting the RX half stack?

[26bond]

Just ordered the 150watt version with 4x12 cab via Gak in the UK. £459 delivered!

[bbgambino99]

they are selling this amp with a 4x12 cab for 499.99...should i buy it or should i shoot for a peavey 5150 (expensive, but all tube though)

[tdxify]

fuck yea man i love randalls shit man i got me a rg100sc randall and fuck its awesome man

[ESPLTDSMITHY]

i'm getting the RH 150

[Somkindamonstr00]

Hey man, how much did you buy that head for? And also how like is is like compare it. Like is is so much that you can't even hear yourself scream when its kranked r what lol?

[gunsproof]

What kind of Head?

Tube or Hybride?

[BlackDiamond351]

hybrid

[gunsproof]

what is the differents between a Tube and Hybrid?

[BlackDiamond351]

hybirds usually have 1 tube and some solid state transistors, and all-tube amps have.....well all tubes.

[thelilEmoBoy]

hybrid

[jasonmathieu1]

im loving this amp man. can you switch between 8 and 16 ohms on it?

[sinndustries]

Thats a freaky fretboard.

[HendoGuitar]

im getting the randall re 75 g3 so t has celestion speaker and is tube driven cant wait!

[mongol124]

what is your amp setup?

[breakingbench]

what guitar are u using?

[GuitarPlayerJordan]

hey TK. alsome video i love randall amps aswell especially this mp head where did you order it from to get the matching cab?

[lmsjr]

I got it from Musicians Friend. The cab I got was the last one they had. I paid $350 for it (or something like that). Thanks.

[AlexZamora1234]

can anybody tell me waths the diffrence of the plus g3 and the normal one and if you can get a realy good metal core sound out of this amp ohh and how many tubes dose it have. thanks

[kirkbatten]

ive heard it has tube preamps and solid state power. but i also read somehwere that it has 1 power tube. idk...

[AlexZamora1234]

yeah i can see wath seems to be a tube under the "n"

[helpyhandything]

g3 is a hybrid both tube and solid

1 tube

the normal is all solid

[sXedood]

thanks, i think you just sold me on this one.

[d22587]

I wonder if this would sound good with a Metal Zone

[prodigy179]

You dont need a metal zone. This amp is can get more gain than this. Besides whats the point of buying an amp to play metal just to throw a distortion pedal in front? Makes no sense. Just buy an amp that sounds good for what you want to play, and all the metal pedals from boss are fizzy garbage IMO.

[d22587]

I dont know, somebody told me he needed a shitload of pedals and eqs with a Marshall JCM900 cab to satisfy him, but then again, he is a tube guy, I bought a metal zone and I kinda like it, not the greatest but not bad either, my Marshall valvestate combo didnt have enough gain on it, so the metal zone with my eqs set just the way and a noise suppressor kinda delivers a somewhat satisfying tone, but thanks anyways, your comment helped me out, I have heard mixed opinions on this amp. I wasnt sure.

[prodigy179]

No prob. If you were looking for an amp just go to a few shops and try em out see what you like. Dont buy things based on reviews and what other people say. If it sounds good to you then thats good.

[guitarlife21]

wouldent it be 150 watts at 8 omhs if its 300 watts at 4 ohms?

[metalmankam]

these are nice, but the v2 is a million times better

[LTDusersince99]

yeah, but how much more will I pay for the V2?

[bcrichjageraxe]

im really digging this head...but does anyone know the width measurements of this head? it would be big help as i live in a small area..thanks

[GuitarPlayerJordan]

does the stack come with little randall footswitch to switch between clean,overdrive 1, overdrive 2, and reverb boost?

[Davius14]

Mine did when i bought it.

[prodigy179]

Yup. It does come with a footswitch.

[7Stringuzr]

you shoulda played something more the the same 3 freakin chords

[romeodark00]

i have a question, im about to buy this amp but i saw it has 2 out puts and say 4 ohms but is a mono or stereo and is it por each side o what, =P, i love this amp but im worry about that

[iancidplaysguitar]

i have the same series head, but its the 150 watt one. i think mine is defected cuz it doesnt sound that good. i have to use a gain booster just to get a decent distortion out of it on channel 2. its sounds tinny and weak without it. i bought it off ebay. lol

hat should i do? could i send it to randall for them to take a look at it?

[TheDistortionist]

Are you scooping your mids? What kind of cab are you running it through?

[iancidplaysguitar]

nope, i embrace the mids lol

im running it through a randall XL cab. i know its not the cab. im pretty sure its the head, i bought it used off ebay, so thats probably what it is.

[ChrisFewNFarBetween]

its not a complete solid state amp. its a mosfet / valve amp, it only has the one tube but its a pre-amp tube i think not a power tube. i have the 150 watt version of this head and it rocks :)

[plateaux34]

i got the rh150, an older one..

it blews my head of every day, even in my living room...

[ACDCbrandon]

Im getting the RH g3 150 tomorrow cant wait.

[DarkVelizar]

Awesome! Thank you TTK!

[themodernguitarist]

This and the RH150 are on sale on Musicians friend. Friggen 50% off... Pisses me offf that I don't have the money. :(

[ace69er]

1 of the BEST SS amps the Randalls!

I was all set to get 1 of these but the 150w model, till i discovered Bugera!

ALL valve for the same price. Theyre ALL made in China!

So brand snobs BEWARE! Randall made in China too!

[rayjaysonic]

You must have a very understanding wife to get away with buying so much cool stuff, lucky man!

[romeoguitar]

what the different between RG g3plus and RH g3plus ?

[PollutedSoul666]

The RG's are combo amps. The RH's are heads

[themeatgun]

The Gain sound thick but tight!!

Really Nice King!!

The Axe is pretty sweet too!!

[themaninblac]

that neck is cool how it goes from rosewood to maple with abalone in it.

[MYTUBEISAPUSSY]

@themaninblac

this neck looks like aluminum foil glued on its lower part.

what guitar is it & where can I get it ?

[UMadUJelly]

@themaninblac I think it's ebony and maple.

[CAM99]

hey what kind of guitars is that? and where can i get one... that neck looks sooo sick

[THESHREDSHED]

I am getting one!!!!!! sweet sound!!!

[Sunsnoel]

Nice review, rippin sounding amp...keep up the good work bro. i always check your reviews.....

[flytogothenburg]

Swear to god "I'll just give you one of these bad boys right dhere!" is going to become a metal catch phrase.

[lmsjr]

Hey FLY - hopefully I'll get credit for it :-). Thanks bro.

[BizarroStu]

I wanna sample TTK saying it in a song.

[hellboundTX333]

TTK should check out the Madison Prophecy, heaviest freakin SS amp ever!

[themodernguitarist]

Do you know where I can find any sound clips of that? I heard a lot about the Prophecy, but could never come around hearing it.

[hellboundTX333]

I've got a couple of clips on here, but the quality isn't very good. You can get the idea of the heaviness though. Click on my username to check em out.

[Vercingetorix]

Say what you will about SS amps but when Randall and other manufactures start incorporating 64 bit DSP's in their amps it's going to start making tube manufacturers very nervous.

The Axe FX unit shows that digital processing can produce immaculate and extremely responsive results.

[GAMENDINGS4U]

These amps are one of the few good solid states. Others include Peaveys, Roland, Ampegs, Line 6 (Vetta's and Flextones), and the Axe-FX.

I'm actually a huge fan of solid-states. When done right, they are just as good as tube amps.

[hellboundTX333]

Yeah I love the Randall tone, but all the newer ones I've owned have had issues of some sort. You could throw the old ones down a flight of stairs and they'd still work perfect! Still wouldn't mind trying one of these in person though.

[dbenc]

Noisy though

[dbenc]

Not really a fan of SS amps but this does sound pretty good...I'll give you one of these bad boys right dhere!

[hellboundTX333]

True, but those were the original made in Irvine CA randall amps, not the junk that has been made since US musical bought them out. Ever play a Warhead? cheap chinese junk, most of the first ones blew up. Sounded like ass. Buy a Madison Prophecy.

[thorftw]

what seymour duncans do you use in that pico?

[tak178]

The word is "sick".

[guitardbucket]

Awesome.

[brokensoul70]

Really????

I never heard that, that does say a lot for Randall. I would say that is pretty damn durable.

[themodernguitarist]

Nice. Didn't know you would actually do a review of this guitar TBH. Anyways, I was thinking about getting this guitar amp as my first head.  So yeah, it sounds awesome.

[wickedexp]

What kind of guitar is that? I like that headstock.

[liamzuid]

awesome amp

[TheOzzk]

Well King, you've done it again. Great review. As far as the amp goes, pretty impressive! Its got punch and color. It doesn't sound "empty" as SS amps usually sound.

[brokensoul70]

That amp has some punch to it, this is a solid state (for the most part) amplifier I would not mind having. I never have owned a Randall, how durable are they? I use a Peavey and that has stood up to a lot of abuse and still keeps going.

[MrSerpentMaster]

Love this amp. I have the RH150G3Plus myself running through a Randall USA XL RS412XL100 with celestion G12H-100. I am trying to get some cash to buy a V2 or T2 though. Feel free to check out some of my reviews most are done with the Randall so if you want to hear more check out my channel :). PS. good review man love this amp to bits. But replace the tube with a 12ax7 :).

[darrenguitar]

so when are you due an endorsment

[Tritono9]

hey tonkeking, what camera do you use for record your videos? thanks in advance

[ollieroks]

NOTHING NEW ON RANDALL

[Xevidan]

I have the RH150, and I love it!

TTK, there is one tube in the pre-section, so its not 100% solidstate. Mine came with a 12AT7, but I put a 12AX7 in there, and it made it sound even better.

Nice review. :)

[MrSlanderous666]

Awesome video. How do you like the rico jr?

[alexfheind]

AWESOMEEE TONE KING , small coment from me, i like the idea of randall sound, i have a small randall rx20 amp , but i the distortion sound to "unfocused" imagine like the distortion its you hiting an aluminum sheet , hard and loud but full of unnecesary noise, this g3 amp sounds very tight on the traditional od.

just a small opinion from a fan (: great vid
