Hey guys!
I finally got my hands on a Randall Diavlo 100 RD100 amp! A guy near me traded it for one of my amps that I had two of. I had a RD45 years ago for a week or so and while I thought it was a great amp, I did return it because at that time I wanted something a little bit more versatile. Now I have the 100 watt version which is great because the gain 2 channel is KILLER!
I go in-depth in the video but I will say a few things:
- It's not really a high-gain amp by default without the built-in boost. It's almost like a modded JCM 800 or something but with a tighter sound. When you switch on the boost it has plenty of gain though!
- The cleans are good! A little dark and bassy but good!
- The crunch tones are good too, which was surprising!
- It's great for low tunings and extended range guitars, my 9-string loves it!
So yeah, I'm digging this amp and I think it sounds really good, hopefully it shows in the video. Of course if you have any questions about the amp I'd be more than happy to answer them!
