The G3 footswitch isn't MIDI. It's basically 4 switches with a common ground, so rather than have the 4 cables coming out, a 5-pin cable/socket is used. Easiest way to find out the wiring is to pop the back off the footswitch box and take a note of what each pin on the 5 way goes to.

I have the 150 and it's the best amp I've ever had. I ditched a Mesa Boogie rack setup for it. I started running it into a Marshall cab, and was getting the horrible bassy buzz a lot of people report, but I picked up a randall 4 x 12 and it's absoloutely perfect now. No farts or buzzes whatsoever.

As far as I know, Dimebag used a Furmann parametric EQ in his chain, with mids cut, and then the mids on the amp turn up. He also used 2 Rocktron hush units as well, one after the guitar, and one in the loop, to keep his sound tight. I don't know if he used that same setup when he ran the...

Also, should add, using the exact same settings, but on Gain 1, I find it gives a smashing Randy Rhoads tone, but a bit more ballsy. Very similar to the sound he had on 'I don't know'

I use Gain 2 on mine with the knobs set as follows: Level - 9 Contour - 0 Bass - 4 Mid - 3 (Switch out) treble - 8 Gain - 9.5 I also run a BBE 442A Sonic maximiser in my effects loop, set to: Lo Contour -1 Definition 3 notches from max Auto switch in. Running through a Randall 412XL, loaded...

I had the same issues with my RH100G3 head when I was running it into a Marshall cab. I have a Randall XL cab now and it's perfect. No more of that distorted boominess.

I have the G3 RH150 head. Quite simply the best amp I have ever owned. The distortion is brutal, and not in that nasty mushy fizzy way a lot of 'ultra-gain' type amps have, but in a very clear, distinct way, on both chords and single notes. I recently stuck a BBE in the effects loop of it and it...

You're in luck, Tiny. I have the exact same head and really wanted the matching cab too. Spent ages on Google and eventually found somewhere here in the UK that are getting them in: http://www.proaudiostore.co.uk/guitar_amplification/electric_amplification/randall/rs412xmjcm/index.html
