Randall RX120RH and RX412 Half Stack w/Boss Metalcore

[KoedixProductions]

This thing sounds like it has tubes but it doesn't.

[KoedixProductions]

Are those the EMG JH Pickups?

[eLeCtRoFrEaK0036]

Can you tell me what setting the Boss Metal-Core pedal is set at?

[Suicidebrutality]

Those harmonics sound like dogshit!

[DrifterTrueno]

@Suicidebrutality

cool, don't care.

[Suicidebrutality]

@DrifterTrueno Not like it's your fault, prolly just the camera

[djpuppy28]

@DrifterTrueno You should care, It is your sound. And if dog shit is your sound, Then I guess you have obtained it! THE HARMONICS SUCK!

[DTPsadus]

first off you can't use the words "boss" and "Metalcore" in the same sentence, but nice amp

[DrifterTrueno]

@DTPsadus it's the Boss ML-2 Metalcore pedal,

[cobias]

I have played in many cover/original bands over the years. Until you are rich ? Stick with solid state or amp modeling technology. You dont just buy a tube amp and switch tubes when they wear out. If you have a good ear, you will notice small tone changes in tube amps. And you MUST have a competent amp tech that you trust in your area. I did a club tour with a Randall solid state rg-120 with a Boss GT-8 plugged into it. Set it on British stack and it sounded great !

[person8132]

@PutridDonkeyOfficial It's most likely the fact that a solid state amplifier will NEVER sound as good as a tube amplifier and that the stock Randall cab sucks. If you've got the money, get a 6505+, it's a no-brainer, but this amp really isn't bad for what it is.

[rhettanator3000]

What should i get thins or a crate flexwave half stack

[babyrandellio]

is this amp good for live band performances?

[delaportas1]

hey man nice amp!I noticed you have a smaller amp on the back..is that a line 6 spider iv 15w?im asking because i got the spider iv for my first amp and now im on the market for a half stack...i was about to buy the marshall ma100h but now that i saw your vid im reconsidering.. the RX120RH sounds much better than the ma100 for metal...and MUCH cheaper!So if i jumped from the 15w amp to the randall would i feel like about to COME in my pants??if you know what i mean...soundwise!!thx in advance!!!

[MrCORN1BREAD]

have you made a video of this amp without a pedal?

[a7x3908]

is that a line six spider 3 sitting next to your Randall?

[granto425]

Once it gets to like :29 it starts to sound kinda like Bullet for My Valentine :)

[slavesbydesign]

should i get this half stack or a peavey 6505 combo? I'm thinking the Peavey because it's tube and I dont know if this half stack is of the best quality.

[calatan0]

were you using any pedals?

[KH13JPLAZMA]

@calatan0 what do you think a boss metalcore pedal is?

[MrDerek0915]

please, answer this question, i'm looking into buying one of these from all the youtube videos i've seen, but could you play a venue with it? like a small one?

[FebruaryDarkness1]

@MrDerek0915 yes most definatly

[kornrocs666]

thinkiing of getting one myself



[mcdonaldskilledme123]

is the noise when you pause like overbearing loud? or not that bad

[bonuzround]

do you know the specs? size, width, depth... thanks!

[TheImpureJustice]

Hey, if the RX412 stereo you have is 200W, is it good quality even when its crancked up to max? thanks man

[CuzWereSpecial]

I'm ready to buy but do you think this amp would be decent enough to play at a small local venue?!

[Xdawg9087]

@TheFunny2250 its called HIGH GAIN.

[IIIBLAKEIII]

Is that a headphone jack I see on there? I really want this amp but a headphone jack is kind of important for me at times. Anyways amp sounds great, and nice playing

[ifcman9]

Could that half stack be heard all through out auditorium?

[spikespaghetti03]

Does this head have an fx loop?

[mikalandrew112]

can it be loud enough for a show?

[elputitohorny]

@mikalandrew112 yes u can

[myskull54]

Does this pedal sound good with a marshall half stack?

[behindfalseflags]

Nice sound. Are you running the Metalcore through the clean channel, or is it working with the overdrive? I'm thinking of getting this amp and maybe the metalcore would go great with it.

[KH13JPLAZMA]

doesnt the head work alone?

[Intodeathmetal24]

sounds great but ive got neighbors...how quiet can this get?

[OnyxBeastGuitar]

@Intodeathmetal24 As quiet as you want. There are volume controls, y' know.

[jk47hm4]

I got this yesterday and is an awesome sounding amp. But the feedback is louder than the music play.. I think I should have went with crate or b52

[Ben8nz]

@jk47hm4 it really needs a noise suppressor pedal, The crate I haven't got to mess with the settings too much but I've play a show threw my friends crate and it has horrible tone, it's a lot of harsh highs like 15 watt practice amp, at lest to my ears. And the Randall is big, deep and tube sounding the overdrive channel isn't the best. but if your use pedals I like it better the peavey valve king in ways. I've heard many good things about b52 but it will still need a noise suppressor pedal.

[jk47hm4]

@Ben8nz It turns out the feedback depends on the cable. I used a different one like right after I sent the first comment and it sounded almost crystal clear..

[keasaildsslog]

is this amp good for djent stuff like Periphery?

[MetalHeadEmperor]

this or the line 6 spider IV half stack?

[OnyxBeastGuitar]

@MetalHeadEmperor This, Line6 sux... I have the 30 watt myself, and must say the dist is awesome, but the other models just pretty much suck.

[dude123069]

is this an amp good for drop tunings like drop C and B?

[DrifterTrueno]

@dude123069

yeah it works good with those tunings

[kaynek00l]

peavey vyrp behind?

[DrifterTrueno]

@TheFunny2250

yes it does, a noise suppressor pedal will fix that

[dontbannme]

@DrifterTrueno or a gate

[iGuitarKid]

you think this is too loud to play in a bedroom?

[DrifterTrueno]

@iGuitarKid not really, i played in my room all the time, no prob.

[0xFireTigerx0]

@iGuitarKid Is the cab good?

[iGuitarKid]

at what volume where you playing?

[DrifterTrueno]

@iGuitarKid

im at one.

[oEPIKoFAILo]

so i know i am going to buy that pedal and i was looking for a good amp for it to be used with for when our band plays and i know this is the amp ima get lol

[calitheguitarist]

hey im curious, does this head have 2 outputs to make it a full stack? cuz im thinkin about buyin this amp, id just like to know if i COULD expand it later on if needed.

[7Stringuzr]

@calitheguitarist yes it does. i have the same amp

[DrifterTrueno]

@calitheguitarist

yeah it does have two outputs to make it a full stack.

[MustaineIsGOD23]

are the channels footswitchable?

[7Stringuzr]

@MustaineIsGOD23 yes, and so is the reverb

[Azria032]

Im thinking of investing in this for a technical melodeath project, I'm gonna run it through a Schecter Blackjack with Seymour Duncan JB 59 (switching to a possible EMG 81 60) and possibly through a distortion pedal. I tried it once before and I dug it, but is there anything else that would be more suitable at this price for that style?

[bradyhasguitarskills]

@Azria032 The best distortion pedals you can get in that range are either the Boss ML-2 Metalcore, or the Digitech Hardwire TL-2 Metal distortion.

[Sephiroth78941]

How much was the stack?

[PX917]

so is this good for like a first halftack and i think the digitech xmm metal master would be the best with this amp

[blazetube80]

0:24-0:32 sounds like Oath of silence, by Sylosis *_*

[WyldeSlashHammet93]

haha this is the amp i wana get and you have the amp i own right behind the randal haha

[coolness453]

Sounds like it has amazing tone. Whered you get it and how much??

[classicadelmantro]

do some soloing man

these riffs are hardly musical

[TheHereticGuitarist]

@classicadelmantro thats a matter of opinion in music, if you've got a problem with someones musical tastes, than you dont have respect for music...

[WHATthatscrazy]

i have the same rig might wanna throw in a ns-2 to clean up the fuzz

[RealRock993]

nice vid your made me convinced to buy this amp....just on qestion y is there a bike in your room

[DeathMetalAngel123]

Would you be able to buy another cab and turn this into a full stack if you wanted to?

[aidenfreak1593]

whats with the metalcore? i have this stack it sounds great with out any effects. its distortion chennel is awsome.

[bradyhasguitarskills]

@aidenfreak1593 It's distortion channel isn't good enough. Doesn't have high enough gain. I have this amp and I use a Boss ML-2 Metalcore also.

[jackassesgalore]

does this amp have that artificial sound that most solid state amps have or does it sound pretty good? cool vid too man

[jackassesgalore]

would this sound good with a metal zone

[razdawiz]

metal core is much better

[Chiodos1369]

im thinking about getting this amp and your demo of it is pretty appeling. i know that for playing at home, pratice, or small volume levels that it has good tone, but would you say it has enough juice to play small (high gain/metal) shows with-out a pa miked to it? since it's soild does it lose tone and quality at high levels? (also, all effects and distortion is done through my pedals so i'll be using nothing but the clean channels)

thanks

[JessyDevilVendetta]

yeah it workes fine on high levels i have it myself and iv done shit loades of gigs with it, to me it sounds bettre on high levels.

[areverga123]

is that a high gain amps??? please reply!!

[rudoman22]

well it sounds pretty heavy to me doesn;t it to you?? lol

[JessyDevilVendetta]

no not really the amp distortion is not all that grate but just throw a pedal infront of it and your ready to rock

[areverga123]

is it like the rg-100 clasic ?????? or better ????  [the distorcion???]

[JessyDevilVendetta]

Havent playd that amp yet so im not sure, what kind of shit are you into, if your playing metal then it would work for classic stuff but if your more into the newer shit id say throw a pedal infront of it. But over all its a really good amp

[Ricardoescobedo69]

can you but just the Randall RX120RH and RX412 Half Stack for like 450 or 500$ right? is the cab loud ebough for some shows?

[hyp124]

does it sound good without pedals? and is this amp good for glam and punk?

[AustinGoodProduction]

Na, doesnt sound to great without. Not many amps do (except obviously amps such as MESA BOOGIE, 5150/6505, ENGL) But just use a pedal, sounds sick ;)

[mogusus]

Yeah without boss ml-2 sounds bad...I have it all like you but it don't sound so good like yours becouse of your guitar...ESP rules!!! I must to change pick-up s in my ibanez

[BrightestBlackSheep]

hmmm if it sounds that good with the metal zone im sure itll sound bad fucking ass with my metal muff.

[Azria032]

K, so step one, buy amp. step two, buy a pedal

[DaCro313]

sound is very good.but what happens if turn the volume fucking high

[joshmacisaac18]

sounds even better. Me Personally i would like a lil more gain from it. but its a good head. hasn't let me down yet.

[atheistmayora]

it sounds better!!!

[InFuriatedShadows]

\m/

[DeathPenguin1000]

The sexiest emg passives I have seen.

[seyer13j]

itz a good idea to put the metalcore pedal and the head amp together BUT performance wise, i don't really think itz reliable enough-- it would jus b a pain in the ass changing from distortion to effect pedal to effect pedal nd it'll cost a little more than just having the head amp as ur distortion--- i do have a metalcore pedal nd it sound fine by itself w/the use of an equalizer which in particular, the usage of the head acts like the equalizer for the metalcore pedal to create tht sound...

[seyer13j]

anywayz, i hoped i helped sum ppl out-- but itz a decision tht must b made for those of u who plan on buying equipment for "on the road" gigging---

[DrifterTrueno]

The Amp head is on clean channel everything at 12 o'clock(bass middle treble) and the Boss ML-2 is the distortion pedal

[plan913]

@DrifterTrueno what's the settings on the ML-2?

[nickfleischer]

sick tone

[dimebagisgod13]

hi, i'm looking to buy this amp, and i was wondering if it can be a full stack, thanks

[DimDim40]

I have this amp and am selling the head for $400.

If you're interested.

[Ultros04]

@DimDim40 y u sellin it??

[DimDim40]

@Ultros04

I'm downsizing. Just gonna get a nice little 2x12 combo or something.

[Ultros04]

ahh i see

[sportsglama]

hey do u think this amp would be suitable for post-grunge rock like breaking benjamin or does it make a more metal sound? i was wondering whether this amp or the rx75dg3 wud make a better overdrive sound?

[sportsglama]

*sry meant rg75dg3

[thehypersexxxual]

awesome killer sound. and the misfits poster...

[DrifterTrueno]

thanks.......its actually vinyl record..

[DFILMS09]

im starting out in a metalcore band and it looks like im going to switch to this amp.

[hostilityprone]

Thanks man I actually have one haha just never got it too really work right for me. Any suggestions on settings?

[hostilityprone]

Hey man I use have this same amp and I use a metalzone pedal and I get CRAZY amounts of feedback. Any advice on how to cut some of that back?

[DrifterTrueno]

use a noise suppressor, that what i did when i had this amp

[Draeku]

its probably the pedal, ive heard alot of bad things about the Metal Zone, use a Metal Core, i get no noticable feedback with it

[yaymike23]

would this be a good amp for pop punk? btw metal and hardcore i've been playing for three years now but i just switched to pop punk a few weeks ago

[HatredForHumanity88]

did you improv that? its a pretty sick riff man

[DrifterTrueno]

yeah its just random playing...thanks.

[Judoking96]

i CAN NOT get a good tone out of this for the life of me. Im using the metal muff(big one)

any advice?

[DrifterTrueno]

try to keep the bass at 12 o'clock and mid either at 12 or scooped...on the amp head

[Judoking96]

alright ill try that, im also thinking about buying the metalcore pedal, so tell me, when you turn it up (loud enough to play a gig) does it sound kinda digital? because i had that problem with the metalzone pedal on my old amp

[satsMM]

change pedal;)

[parctaei]

iv had bad experiences with the metal muff. it gives me a warm/weird overdrive ish distortion. id go with another distortion pedal

[SuzukiRyder21911]

use the mxr dime distortion i got it and its sick. just keep the mid boost on the whole time to avoid feedback. plus sounds better

[jacums69]

so i'm using a pod for most of my tone and i pretty much just need volume right now . will this suit that need ? and i play a lot of pantera shit

[dupadupadoo69]

ive had this amp for well over a year now, and ive always noticed this switch on the back of the head labeled GND or LIFT wut does this switch do if anyone wants to help me out?

[chase312]

Its for the grounding of the amp, you shouldn't have to mess with it but if for some reason you get a lot of buzz or hum sometimes flipping that will stop the sound

[CaptainCangaroo]

i heard this top produces too much bass, even if you set it down to 1 on the EQ. Is that right? in your video it sounds really great

[DrifterTrueno]

by top you mean head right, if so yeah it does produce alot of bass...but not too much to make it muddy...

[atreyu26zach]

i still live with my parents and i want to know if it still sounds good when its not loud

[DrifterTrueno]

i think it still sounds pretty good at lower levels...

[elvinjohn7]

@DrifterTrueno Does it still sound good when cranked up?

[DrifterTrueno]

yeah it does, well did sound good when cranked up...

[slipknotkid7]

can someone help me, lol should i get this or just buy the rg50tc to replace my f'ed up mg100hdfx on my cab? this whole thing is about the same price as a rg50tc head, but the rg50tc is all tube so im kind of leaning towards that

[95andrew95lewis]

is the clean channel as clear and nice sounding as a marshall?

[DrifterTrueno]

Im not too sure on that one man, to be honest.

[bmth15109]

Hey, anyone wanna help me? Im in a Grindcore/Hardcore metal band and i need to uprade from my crappy Behringer GMX212. I was concidering getting this Randall or a Peavey Windsor 100w Stack.

Someone please reaply back and thanks.

[Deathloc45]

Yeah for real dude me to

well I'm trying to get a Death Metal/Crust/Sludge band down, and I have a gay ass behringer

they sound so fucking shitty. Hoping to upgrade pretty quick

[Gorefed]

go witht this, it has nice low end, but chrisp at the same time. Chuck from Death used these for years, but you can get a huge range of sound out of them. especially if you play a pedal through the clean channel

[themaninblac]

i have heard the peavey isnt a metal amp.but it is all tube

[GibsonRocker1958]

You play in a that kind of a band and you consider buying a Windsor?? You can get a 60s and 70 rock n roll distortion out of it, but not more. get a Randall RH 150 or RH300, theres the amp for you. I tested the RH150 today, and im gonna get one soon.

[bmth15109]

But I have a Metalcore pedal for that, but It's no big deal, i got this amp : )

[jlennozchin]

hey i'm pretty convinced about buying this amp. right now i use a marshall 100dfx combo amp. and i need a half stack for my band. and i heard randall is great for metal users. which is what i play. but i wanna be able to put LOUD without the feedback or the hum. so is it becuase your using a dist pedal or is it the pickups on the guitar? if it is the pickups what kind are they? just so i know becuase i dont wanna buy any kind of noise gate thing.

[DrifterTrueno]

yeah man its was the pickups in the guitar that caused the feedback.

[freddy032593]

hey can someone help me decide on an amp?

i play mostly thrash/death metal and like really crunchy distortion.

i was considering the Marshall MG stack, Line 6 Spider III HD150, or this Randall stack.

can someone help me choose or recommend any other kind of stack?

[FLYINGVPLAYER]

i would recommend the Line 6 or the randall they hare high gain and built to last and the MG100 is shit haha

[paintsuxs]

acctually i just burnt out my spider 3 150 watt its such a shit amp....

[LordOfThisWorld74]

randall all the way

[101dotbitch]

Just my opinion, Marshall has always been a extremely popular brand and i know first hand why, I also know first hand that Line 6 is great, but if you want something that's gigable, go with something Celestion loaded.

[thrashboss]

get this one its a beast for rhythm

[essendon000]

hey im looking at purchasing this amp.

i play in a hardcore band and was wondering if you thought it would be suitable for such kind of music.

cheers.

[DrifterTrueno]

its good man, just get a decent distortion pedal for it.

[grindingaxe]

yes and DONT use a distortion pedal it takes its randall tone away and no distortion pedal sounds as good as the distortion on an amp. i would just get the amp as is.

[project8sk8er]

How much hum come from the amp?

[DrifterTrueno]

With my other guitars there is no hum at all, its just this one.

[TheCapstanShanty]

Sounds good but how loud can it get can it mix with a drummer, I mean a drummer who hits his shit hard as a mother fucker?

[DrifterTrueno]

I haven't tried but should be able to do the job

[TitsMcAssh0le]

well, i'm a drummer but i know my way really well around a guitar too. A weak halfstack is still enough to power pretty well over a loud drummer (cause i am one). Even a Line6 Spider2 100w solid state head can mix well with me, and i hit my shit hard too.

[TheCapstanShanty]

I guess I was meaning when it turns up does the distortion sound like clipped dog shit like some cheaper amps or is it clear, cause for the price I'm digging the tone on this amp.

[TitsMcAssh0le]

yeah it does sound reeallyy good for the price.

[dupadupadoo69]

i play shows with this thing on 5

[MIkeCampbellCKY]

How big of a show you think you can play with this?

[dupadupadoo69]

pretty much any show, i mean like chances are the bigger the show ur most likely to get mic'd, but ya i play this thing on half volume at shows..its loud

[INFERNO6SIC6]

yeah, i need a good amp (im searching a peavey 5150 or 6505 head used) my gear is this: Warlock whit SD Invader, ML-2, DD-6, NS-2 and TU-2 (i have others pedals/guitars but this is my setup that i used with my band) and my amp is a combo Laney LC30... in live i used an POD pro rack and Mesa Boogie strategy with marshall 1960 cab (all loan)

[INFERNO6SIC6]

yeeeahhh... brutal tone dude....

but you need an NS-2 (noise supresor)...

so whats your opinion about this pedal??? and how do u compare this pedal with the insane distortion of your line 6 or others pedals???

[DrifterTrueno]

thanks man, yeah I do but then again the EMGs in the LTD are old as fuck so I'm going to upgrade soon, but yeah Noise Supressor is in order. Well over all the ML-2 is has more low end than any other pedal I've tried/had(Boss MT-2, Metal Muff, Digitech Death Metal, Digitech Metal Master) which maybe a bad thing for some but for others it may be to their liking. Overall the ML-2 is good if your going to play drop tunings.

[DrifterTrueno]

"ok, i got the ml-2 and in my opinion is a great pedal, better than MT-2, Uber Metal, etc... but the problem is that when i play to high volume (loud) i can listen a little feedback and the pedal sounds like a phaser (not much, just a little), i never use this pedal for live performances because this problem that im trying to describe. do u know something about this problem??? do u noticed? also the pedal is a little muddy too..."

sorry man didn;t mean to erase.

[DrifterTrueno]

yeah i agree its a good pedal.

you get feedback, did you use a noise supressor like your reccomended?

i've used it live, it sounds good man, i like the sound of it, but then again it all depends on your amps eq setting, that makes or breaks your pedals sound i.m.o

[INFERNO6SIC6]

i love the pedal....

but the ML-2 is digital, right? dont believe me... read the back

[DrifterTrueno]

I'm not sure if the ML-2 is digital, do you mean digital sounding like the line 6 amp distortions?

[INFERNO6SIC6]

no dude... the ML-2 is """""DIGITAL""""" (read the back: "This Class B digital apparatus...")?????

i mean this fucking thing is more expensive that other ANALOGS PEDALS like the MT-2 fucking zone or my EHX Metal Muff (best pedal for old-school metal, fuck yeah)

do u know something about this????? do u have any problems with that shit????

also boss releases a new pedalboard call ME-70 and this fucking pedalboard has the ML-2 incorporated.... fuck
