Title: New Amp for me (downsizing content)
Post by: hunter on August 31, 2011, 01:31:10 PM

Got a small amp with big possibilities and tone.

Randall RM22, 2xEL84, taking two MTS modules plus has switchable boost/2nd master per channel.
As modules I got:
1. "The Malcolm" for clean-ish duties
2. "The Judge" for dirrrrrt

It's a very nice amp and I am not surprised it sounds like a big one, just at lower volume. Not cheap but IMO worth the money for the flexibility and GAS/Module fun.

Happy NAD Hunter, It looks good! i might have to look into that as a Versatile (ie can do high gain) / low wattage solution for home and small gigs

Pics prove it happened, clips show its not just a pretty box :lol:

I am rather limited in terms of recording gear at the moment (been moving and stuff is in boxes). But I did some clip of the Malcolm. Pity the mic is farting out on the gainier bits.

For The Judge I refer to someone else's efforts, would be hard to make any better clips than that showing off that module:

Congrats!
I'd love to get my hands on one of Randall's modular amps, but unfortunately I can't seem to find a dealer :(
Another brilliant clip to showcase the judge ( and the main cause of my GAS for this particular amp) :

Congrats! Looks great. I'm thinking about something lowwattage for smaller gigs. I use the Blues Junior now, but something with two channels would be nice. I'm checking out the Laboga Caiman at the moment.

+1 I thought that exact thing when i saw the post at lunchtime.

Happy NAD :D

And let me make life easier for a couple of regular forum members:

Philly Q: It's got a lot of knobs.

38th Beatle: Nice looking table.

£279!! (no module included)

Do get them to confirm that it's working though as I had one from them and had to send it back as the boost wasn't working ok.

Yes - it's the new version of Guitar Hero

Someone visits Hunter, drinks beer &  picks up the controller and Hunter has to get up and start playing solos

Thanks Andy!

So is this replacing one of those huge behemoth amps of yours Hunter, or is it just a new member of the family?

Thanks all for the nice comments. I'm really happy. This is my rig right now. Philly I am still keeping the Cornford, other than that all amps are gone. Ok I also kept the Groove Tubes Trio Preamp, like it a lot for cleans, it's very special.

But for gigging and rehearsal it's now the RM22 with a Wah, a Delay, a Boost and a Phaser.

I like it like that!

Oh and played that GTO again, oh my god this thing kicks all kinds of a$$es!!!

Edit: for ordering, I bought this from HebaSound (www.hebasound.de)

100B is gone. I am thinking strongly about a Shiva 20th or a Goldfinger 45. But at the moment no money may be spent on anything. Maybe one or two more MTS modules might be in the budget ;)

There is a Providence 80s delay in the loop, and the room is quite wet (parquet floor and not much furniture or any rugs yet).

The Goldfinger 45 I tried was nice, but i preferred my XTC Classic.  The SHiva 20th is supposed to be awesome, as is the XTC 20th...

I've heard the Goldfinger and I'm in love with the tones.

Thanks guys, glad you liked it. I should have mentioned that I hardly played any guitar for almost 4 months. Relocation stress but also felt like I could use a break.

Now we'll get back to rehearsals for a band reunion one-off kinda gig in 6 weeks. It will be fun cranking this little bugger.

I think this is the best small package/lightweight multi channel with separate EQs, lead boost, loop etc equipped amp out there, for me anyways.

Carried it from House to car to house and 3 flights of stairs up today, damn I wouldn't wanna have done that with the XTC, but this amp has a real nice weight to it, well built but just bordering at the weight where it starts to be an effort lugging around.

Thanks a lot tom, appreciate that. Not quite as cool as some of your GH50L clips yet, but I'm still dialing in ;)

Okido, here is that proper recording I promised.

Heil PR20 about 10" away on VERY low volume, KorgDL8000R in the loop. No EQ or post processing.
