What Happened To Randall Amps?

I'm sorry this video is so short, but I suppose you can treat it like a sequel to the Washburn video, which was more detailed.

Do some gear shopping with my affiliate links to support the channel:

Watch the Washburn video if you haven't already:

Dimebag used Randall amps because he won one in a contest, and he fell in love with it, lol.

Randall is dead. It sucks because the KH103 and 667 were such great amps.

Kirk Windstein from Crowbar got his heavy as hell tone from good ol Randalls.

Actually George Lynch started working with Randall in the early 80's when they were located across the street from Anaheim Stadium. I was there with him when we would meet with Gary Sunda about designing a signature amp for George, so George was an early adopter at Randall, not a late bloomer like the others you mentioned.

Happy to talk & share info on Randall. Look up Doug Reynolds who managed the brand from 2001-2009. That would be me 😊

When the pandemic hit Randall’s prices went up quite a bit. A solid state head I got for $300 before brand new was now $800 new. The used market for Randall seems to not know what to do, cause sometimes you can find really good deals on Randall stuff, and sometimes the price gouging is ridiculous

Im super glad you made a video bout this, i have one of the newer rg solid state amps and absolutley love it

I bought my friend's old Randall, as he had given up guitar. It's an excellent amplifier. Everything still works, and it makes those fun metal sounds that I like. Never understood the business practice of buying up perfectly good companies, then letting them die, or killing them. I'm not very good at Boomering.

George Lynch was using the Randall RG100ES model during the Breaking the Chains and Tooth and Nail albums and tours.

Randall will never really die. So many of us old school 80s and 90s metal heads still love and cherish them

[robert.sjostrom]

I've been rocking a Randall for almost 10 years now!

[WolfieboyMachi]

I don't know much of Randall, but I know Dimmu Borgir played them, and I know Ola Englund's Randall Satan amp looks and sounds like a massive beast that I'd love to get my hands on.
Would be cool if he released one under Solar.

Also, those Randall cabinets with the black metal grill look sick as fuck.

You should absolutely do a “What happened to Crate Amplifiers?” Video. (Believe it or not there is a rather large community of Crate fanatics out there, and not all the amps are as bad as people try to say they are.) Your research is always highly detailed and it would be great to know with accurate info what happened and who owns the rights today. 🙌🏼 keep up the good work man! 🤘🏼

I still have a RH300G3 series at one of my band spots. I love it. Its through a 1960A 4x12 and sounds great. The only bummer is the footswitch stopped working.

Randal and Washburn being close reminds me of how often in the skateboarding industry ppl will use the deck and wheels from one distribution company to have most of their things come from the same place

[IanOnTheDL]

A couple of other Randall players to mention are Ben Burnley from Breaking Benjamin and John Connolly from Sevendust. I think both of them were playing the Titan series amps up until the early 2010's

[BrandonBames]

Lol you may be the first person I've ever heard refer to the Egnater Armageddon as "legendary, " but any Egnater love is good Egnater love.

I hope Randall's not over. Some of my best music memories are tied to Randall amps. I used a friend's RG75 combo with a Celestion at many gigs in L.A. in the 80s, when I wasn't using my Boogie or Marshall. That Randall just kicked butt, sounded amazing. I hope Randall can make a comeback and bring back the classic RG series.

Just got a 120rh head today. Sick pedal platform honestly. Popped a Revv G4 on it and it gives serious rectifier vibes.

I've had 2 Randall amps. The first was a 4x10 (like a Super Reverb) I got in 1973. The second I still have, the Commander I with one 15" speaker purchased around 1979. I will agree with them being loud! Best 120 watt amp I've ever owned.
