Just ordered this baby

Just make sure you take your time with the EQ on it. And record it some even with a cheap dynamic, so you can play it back and critic it. What cab you and speakers you run?

[angelempathy]

doesn't it have a built in mic eliminator?

you could've cranked it up if you used that.

[dragonguitarist36]

It does have that, but it sounds a little bit dead compared to what the speakers are doing. I think the mic eliminators on the cabs would be better since they have a switch for bright, normal and dark. If I wanted a doom metal sound I would use it more, lol.

[SpandyAndy87]

i play punk rock stufff wood this be able to get tht sort off tones out of it cause it sounds gd :D

[dragonguitarist36]

You might be able to get that if you boosted the mids, but I think the clean channel wouldnt really be good for you if you needed it. The clean channel wouldn't break up like a tube amps would.

[Awwcman]

great review, but how in the world did you manage to get the crazy train riff wrong???

[dislikeusername]

DON'T DO THE HARMONICS EVERY FUCKING TIME PLAYING "ENTER SANDMAN" GOD DAMN IT

[metalballs2010]

What's the song used at the epilogue?

[firemetal89]

Haha I love how you put Spiritual Healing at the end

[WitsDeadEnd]

I have a V2 for sale. It's in mint condition. It's just more than I need for what I do musically these days. If you are interested or know anyone who may be, send me a message on here and I'll get you more info.

those fender hm cabs are built forever plus u ugraded speakers what a badass half stack dude.dime used the emmince texas heats i read.how is the gain on the v2

[desolatednightmares]

@metalmusiqcrzy I love it man, It's just right. Check out our page if you want to hear it in action. The EQ is great. Mine came broke it was used but they sent me a brand new one for free so I got a new one for used price!

[ktulhu2011]

@metalmusiqcrzy Sorry, I don't understand what are you asking. I know that the amp used in live situations is always one, mic'd and closed in a big box behind the stage, but the 400w v2 is only available as head, not as combo. The sound of a head is obviously influenced by the cab, speakers but also shape, wood and thikness. And the v2 should be used with the matching cab also because it runs on 100w per speaker, not 60w as almost any other head. 8100 are great, my first head, has lot of balls..

@metalmusiqcrzy Yeah it had an issue with metal fusing in the amp that was causing the bad microphonics. I bought it off ebay, so I had to foot the bill to send it to randall to get fixed; but when after 4 months of working on my amp they couldn't fix it they ended up just sending me a brand new one...win. Amp sounds absolutely amazing now, so happy with the purchase.

[metalmusiqcrzy]

@BumpyX1 that prolly why the randall web site demoed the randall t2h and v3 with level knob on 1 instead of being on 7 or 8 .am i wrong or righ .did u ever think there is a problem inside amp/cause OHHHHH i just got mine AS I TEXT its feeding back with level knob up BUT THATS NORMAL I BETT YOUR HEAD HAD A TRANSFORMER ISSU OR SHIELING PROBLEM
