this amp was designed with lynch to replicate the marshall overdrive, if im correct
"150 watt bad boy" )))
worst demo in the history of demos.
true
I had an RG75 combo that I used for almost a decade. Wish I still had it. I loved it so much that I stopped using my Mesa and my Marshall for years. The amp was solid as a rock. It always sounded great, never had a single issue with it, it was built like a tank. I played all over L.A. in the metal scene of the 80s and 90s and then some with it.
right on - yeah those amps are built solid for sure! And thank u so much for checking out the video - really appreciated.

exactly. I have the rest of the gear for dime's tone, and it is necessary. Check my vids for details.
I love my RG100ES, I never use the dirty channel, it's too 80's, but the clean tone with a tiny bit of distortion mixed in to give it some breakup = beautiful tone. Sounds WAY better in person, I dunno why he wouldn't close mic the cab with an RE20 or something to make this amp sound like it truly should but yeah, the audio here is crap.
I love listening to people hating on Randall because a) it's clear how clueless they are, and b) you're talking about a piece of hardware that's 30+ years old. Obviously, Dime threw stuff into his rig to tweak the sound to make it his. He worked at his sound, and it shows. He experimented and thought outside the box to make it work. Don't just take stuff at face value. I will also add that Randall as a company has rolled with the times. Their newer amps effing own. I'm not even talking about the tube nonsense they're messing with these days. I run straight into an RH200SC and it sounds REAL damn close to Dime's sound. Just taking time to play with the knobs and feel out the amp is so crucial but so overlooked. I haven't even gotten my Bill Lawrence pickup into my new guitar yet, and it still sounds awesome. TL;DR Don't just judge an amp based on a crappy quality youtube video, take some time to play around with it before writing it off.
Ikr?! XD
Shotgun Zombie 🍆💦💦😃
Shotgun Zombie I owned one and must agree 100% with you. That amp kicked ass every MFing time it was turned on. Randall nailed it on solid state with it. No tube warm up or other tube issues. I had a Randall 4x12 slant and a Marshall 4x12 straight cabinets under it and it was great. Not all solid state amps were good but this Randall was killer good.
Yeah im mean dime just used this as a base for his tone. He said himself that he got about 70%-80% of his gain from the two eq's the graphic in front anf parametric in back.
i used the RG 100 HT in the studio.
really cool amp. I really liked all the different tones between the clean, crunch, and the pull switch that gave it the "push over the top" distortion. I really enjoyed it.
Now i play the MARSHALL (TSL100). love it.
never heard a Marshall with so much "gain".
nice! yeah they are great amps!. I ran my guitar just straight into it, Only thing in the way Was a Noise Gate and my wah, but i ended up taking the wah out cause i never used it unless we did a slayer cover or something, It's all about Eq, a lot of guys don't really pay attention to it but it's key, but yeah i didn't even need the gain all the way up, i kept it at 6 or 7 as i recall. The RG100 i had though i used a boss metal zone, cause it just didn't have the gain i needed
@itsGoboboy lol i can garuntee you that it has tons of internal problems/fuzz/broken/ripped up, i mean idk where you are but I completely restored mine to the point as if it came straight out of the 80's and off the shelf, let me know if you want to see itt or are interested, hope i helped
@scottwill19 plus the only time he used a phaser was for the intro in Cowboys From Hell...
that kustom cab is wrong for the head but a great cab non the less. the leather casin gives nice warmth and closed sound
Yes, in his latter days, started using Randalls sense the beginning of his career.
Did ever heared of the dutch make Koch? Jeeezz......man that is something else. These dutch guys in that small tiny country produce some world quality stuff.
Love Dime, got to see him live many times. But I never thought he had good tone on the early stuff. I have tried this amp a few times with different speakers, and it really doesn't sound good. In this vid it sounds like a muddy mess, but I enjoyed the talking about the amp's history and appreciate the video and amp.
did you use a 10 band e.q,a furman parametric eq along with the other things dime used to tweak and craft his tone.if you didn't,you wont get anywhere near the good tone.
@pelosmaster BOSS metal zone pedal sounds better than almost any amp on its own, no?
I played the same amp with a full stack for years and it was the King. I played in D.A.M.M. (Drunks Against Madd Mothers) with my Les Paul. Wish I never sold it. I want another one ! The solid state does not depend on tubes and sounds killer every MF time. Many lack the sound quality but this is not those.
@itsGoboboy well i hope it works out for you but what i did is probably gonna be a one time thing with that head, if it works well then i will tell you it is one of the few that dont have alot of problems or it could be like mine and be perfect, the only exterior i kept on mine was the metal cuz i think goes with the tolex
Dimebag did not use this amp for walk. for that album he used a Randall Century-200 head
@dlguitarmaster7 He wasnt telling you to check guitar world for a review, but to back up what he said about Dimebags guitar tech.
I'm curious to see a guitar other than a PRS. Not to say PRS is bad, just curious to see a Les Paul or Fender running through it.
This AMP is way better than this review. It sounds great every MF time being solid state. I used it for years even in D.A.M.M. Drunks Against Madd Mothers my last 2 years of HS in the late 80's. Had a full stack under it with a 1/2 Randall slant and a 1/2 Marshal straight cabinet
loved it with my Gibson The Paul
This is why you should use the matching cabinet to get the best sound out of a head..
I don't know if it's the Kustom cab that's not cutting it or what but I bought this amp back when they first released and it sounded WAY better than this.
sounds like the mike is being overloaded but the massive 150watts tht beast puts out
I use a Peavey. IDK what kind of speakers it has. That may have something to do with the amp not sounding how I'd like it to
Plethora must be his new word of the day...
I prefer the clean channel over the distorted, it seems too muddy for my taste.
Im sure setting it right it would sound great has a nice lead sound
By the way you spelled Dime's name wrong in the description. It is spelled Darrell not daryll
Designed by Gary Sunda of Orange Co. Speaker....check out a RG-80 112 job
I actually really like the tone of this amp. Its a really dirty, fuzzy, garage rock kind of tone.
Couple questions, is there a difference between the leather and the like carpet version? and is $97.00 a good price for this amp?
I'm pretty sure it sounds better, I'm betting it's the cab or mic
@CrushedJustice he used it in some more of the intros on the cfh album like domination and Heresy
im pretty sure it sounds better in person, i hope.
: \
@snigloid Well I found it at a local guitar shop and they dont sell shit. So I think they have just really undervalued this head because they dont know what they have. I think I'm going to buy it, and if there is anything wrong with it or I dont like the tone Ill sell it. Maybe you can buy it and fix it like you did the others.
I have an RG100es.. I'm not sure if it's the recording... I couldn't make my Randall sound this crappy if I tried...I don't know what this guy's doing...
@6Mega6Man6 hunt down a Warhead 2x15 cab, gets the low ends out better for chugs!
I own one of these. I hooked up a pair of twleves once, and deemed there was something wrong with it. Sort of a digital "click" if you will, the sound that you get when you make a digital recording that peaks over 0db. I figured it must be bad capacitors or something. Then I listen to you play this, and I hear that same sound, and I wonder, hmm... is that just how the amp sounds? Or maybe this recording is bad. I'm not sure. I guess I will pull it apart and inspect caps.
no prob dude
Vince Carter playing guitar??
@PMiller3425 no he used the century for vulgar display of power, far beyond driven, and reinventing the steel. he used the rg100es for his early days, cowboys from hell, and the great southern trendkill
pretty sif tone but point taken and i think he could have been wiser in his choice of licks and plaed more up the neck IMO
darrel using solid state amps?' when i listent to his records( pantera) ive never heard a solid state in his riffing or solos =s
He always used solid state until damageplan
Does anyone know if this amp is supposed to have a "BIAS ADJUSTMENT" on the board????
i need help...
Thank you
Nice clean sound!
not to jump in your conversations,but I have the same amp,the randall rx120 rh&the matching 4x12 cab&i have a boss gt-10 hooked rrunning thru it&its fucking awesome,its brutal as hell,plus with the boss,i can dial in dimebags tone due to all of the different eq settings,and effects.if you ever get the chance to check out a boss gt-10 multi-effect board you should do so,im a beginner,so im learning a lot.thanks
distortion sounds more like a overdriven / fuzz pedal
I have this amp and it does sound awesome but this is pointless because you hear the amp at just the bass. In short yes it sounds like a old Marshall kind but that's with half gain or less so when ya max the gain and pull out the treble it becomes a Randall then you can add a pedal To but it would have feedback
@muzikscud23
yeah its missing the crunch
just muddy not really a clean crunchy tone
I've been playing through a Randall RG100SC combo for years. It's a fine amp. The recording on this videao is...not very ghood. Or the fellow in the video purposely left the tone as muddy.
Mine sounds far stronger than what was demo'd here. I've never had even the slightest hint of technical troubles with my amp, either.
That stated, if I happened to be of the ways and means to afford an amp head, I'd buy the Randall Thrasher, without question.
It's just bad mic placement. The sole reason for the loose, muddy sludge is because the mic isn't picking up any high-end treble from the cabinet.
@locohellraiser the reason??
Anyone know what cabinet he's playing through? I know it a Kustom but what model?
Darrell did use it. It sounds different when he played it because he was a guitar GOD!!!!! Anyways, he did use it.
ohhh.ok..thnx man
yeah me too, Plus they're just more practical imo. Tube amps sound cool and stuff, but fragile. You can get just as good of a sound on a SS. the new RG line from Randall SLAYS! Plus even look at the RX120 i used that in my last two bands. Great head. For blues i use the Fender 212R. great tone. People who complain about Solid states are narrow minded Gearheads. All talk no skills. True tone comes from the player. If he eq'd and mic'd it better i'm sure it'd sound great. Could be the cab too. tho
Thats a really cool headstock on ur guitar.
I thought Dimebag was using Krankenstein amp..
It's hard to believe that Dimebag and George Lynch used this amp from watching this video. The reason I say this is because that distortion tone was disgusting. There was no mean, just mud. I usually like the reviews that McGee does, but this one would have totally turned me off of Randall if I hadn't already known about them. Too bad, cause this video does this beautiful amp absolutely no justice.
good call :)
are they hard to get
Terrible example haha. I played this amp for 2 years in my last band. It is a very thin sounding amp. Dimebag may have used it you guys, but he had more money put into pedals then 2 of his guitars. I had to run 2 EQ's, an Overdrive, Compression ect. it's a good amp. but in the long run. Dime switched cause he didn't want to rely on pedals so much.
good amp
What guitar is that ?
who is Dimebag Daryll?
death used that head too on the first few albums
yes! Gibson guitars are super awesome! good call again :)
You can tell that his particular piece has some meaning to Will BIlly
John Petrucci used this on the very first Dream Theater album back in 1989
That thing working ok ?

it sounds like the mix is clipping
@scottwill19 dime used a phaser pedal... you sound like you have no clue on how dime got his sound... I've used this amp and this thing is a monster. This video doesn't really show this amps potential plus in this video his gain sounds very low.
YOurs broken?
I have two of these amps, this guys knows shit about tone.
@nignoman2021
The amp is good, this guy just made it sound WAAAY to fuzzy.
He starts playing at 3:58
lol for everybody who says this amp sucks..u got to understand that Dime's tone was so origional..i bet if any of us in here played through his rack we would sound like crap lol..becuz his sound was one of those things like if u didnt know exactly why it was built this way then it would be annoying as hell...lol. It even works for Dime's Krank amps..way too much high end for my taste..but Dime made it work...lol
sounds like shiote in this video. i wish i had tried this head out when i had the chance at my local used shop the other day, then i would really know what it sounds like
ok its a nice sounding solid state amp but to be honest im going to stick with tubes.
gah man, you rock dont listen to those comments,,5/5 keep rockin 2fist ,,,,PEACE
lol love how he's reading from the right
Matt Heafy/Paul Gilbert Fingers!!!
@halospawn0 I was thinking the same... IT NEEDS THE JANGLE!!!
Why the hell is he running this through a Kustom cab??? It's a metal amp, run it through some metal speakers (Marshall 1960 cab, or a 1x12 with a Vintage 30 or something). Please!!
its the mic
Come to think of it, this guy never plays anything but a PRS. He's a good teacher, but I really want to see a Gibson pumped through one of these bad boys.
THE RG100ES IS ONE OF THE BEST M-E-T-A-L AMPS OUT THERE.....PERIOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW CRAPPY IT'S MADE TO SOUND ON THIS VIDEO! BAD EXAMPLE OF THE PURE POWER & RAW M-E-T-A-L SOUND & TONE THAT THIS AMP PRODUCES! LONG LIVE THE M-E-T-A-L! \m/
some sort of PRS
nice clean sound. Don't like the amp all together or the distortion. good guitar player though
prs CE24
i know this amps sounds great, cause all the background behind this bad boy. But my marshall mg 2x12 with a metal zone sounds better than this amp in this video. But the clean sounds awesome
I own one. They sound like trash by themselves but you can change the tone so easy with pedals/eq and stuff. Thats how Dime did it. mine SHREDS way harder than the one in this vid.

Mine goes to11!
Lynch never designed this amp. He used the RG80 on Tooth and Nail.
@6Mega6Man6, his settings are shit, I got an '83 and she sounds identical to Dimes tone in 101 Proof, no pedals!
Is it me or are all the riffs this guy plays kinda... off? It might just be the cabinet.
@romeodark00 =s and so how could he sound like that? the solos, riffs and everything did not sound solid state at all....
YEAH DUDE I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST TUBES....I JUST LIKE SOLID STATES MUCH BETTER! THESE 80'S RG AMPS ARE F-ING BRUTAL! FUNNY YOU HAD A RX120D SO DID I! I HAD THE HALF STACK WITH THE RX412 CAB & THE CLEAN CHANNEL ON IT WAS AMAZING! THROW A PEDAL IN THE LOOP OR OUT FRONT & O.M.G.! LOL! I JUST FOUND THE MATCHING 4X12 R412JB BLACK TOLEXED CAB (WITH THE ORIGINAL JAGS!) FOR ONE OF MY RG100ES HEADS SO I AM STOKED! GIVE ME RANDALL 80'S SOLID STATE HEADS & CABS ANYDAY OF THE WEEK! TAKE IT EASY! \m/
