NAD (Almost)!
« on: May 30, 2009, 05:10:08 PM »
Went to Giggear in Harlow today and took along my Carvin. I went there last week and tried out the Randall T2, loved it then. Then I loved it even more with my own guitar.




The cleans on it are I think better than the Laney VH100R I used to own. The crunch and boost channels are just amazing. Very tight, chuggy but not muddy. Lead tones are great and even has a good blues rock kind of tone with the gain down. I like to think of it as a JCM800 but more aggressive and more versatile.

I put a deposit on it and I get it next month as I'm going away on holiday very soon, so I'm getting it when I get back  :D

Nice and simple looking amp!

Btw, Indysmith; on any other forum, your signature line might look a bit weird..8) :lol:

Yeah that's the V2 you're thinking of. The V2 has a valve clean and boost channel but has a solid state crunch channel + graphic eq.

The T2 has an all valve preamp and simple features as you can see.

What would be a good cab to go with the T2?

The Randall cab that I played with the T2 sounded cool but it was about £600+ which is a little bit much for me.

I was looking at Orange 2 x 12's and 4 x 12's as the EVH 5153 sounded great through the 2 x 12. But any other suggestions?

I've got a Marshall 8412 at the moment which is ok, but it's time to get a better cab to get the best sound possible.

That is an interesting looking amp! You're going to Florida -- that's only about 1,200 miles from me. Pop up and say hello! :)
