Randall RT100H
£985 www.soundtech.co.uk
Ah, vacuum tubes. A rare sight in today’s transistor-driven world, but still found huddled together for warmth in guitar amps. Here, their ability to create smooth, warm overdrive is revered above digital’s precision. This Randall has an armoury of tone options to suit all tastes: three preamp channels can be selected with a stamp of the footswitch, with EQ controls on hand for extra snarl. Not that your audience will notice – they’ll be too absorbed in the RT100H’s mesmerising blue glow.
