6Stringgrind, I have both the Grail module and the 1086. Both modules are great for high gain applications. However, the Grail is my favorite module by far, as it fits my style of music (alternative metal) very well. Heavy rhythm crunch as well as soloing tones with the Grail are very good. The...

Hey everyone, Just wondering about the bright switches 3 modules that I tried in a guitar store. I tried out the Grail, Brahma, and Ultra modules. And for all three, when the bright switch was activated, there didn't seem to be any sort of noticeable difference in the high end structure, or even...

Hey everyone, Just wondering if any of you have heard/played The Dan Donegan Signature Digitech Pedal, The Weapon. If have played it or better yet, own it, how does this pedal rate as far as overall sound quality? Also, can you use this pedal as a preamp if you use the mixer out plug into the...

Hey Pete, The faceplates look killer! I especially like the Mesa Rectifer faceplate and the XTC faceplates, but all of them are really cool. I'm assuming the tight/loose switch and the Red/Orange switch model the different voicings available on the actual Mesa Dual Rectifier for the Distortion...

LTD+MTS=ELATION, If you like the sound of the older two-channel dual recs, but with tighter lower end and overall note articulation, you will DEFINITELY like the Grail. The Grail has plenty of midrange on tap, but not the honky kind like the Mr. Scary has, but a more clear, biting low midrange...

Hey guys, I've been using the Randall RM50HB head for a little over a year now. For guitars, I use a Schecter Hellraiser and an Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Both guitars are loaded with EMG's, 81 Bridge and 85 Neck for the Hellraiser, and just an 81 in the Bridge for the Les Paul. I have been...

Hey all, Finally got my hands on the new Lynch signature Grail module, and to say the least, I am very impressed. I have been running the Grail module in my RM50HB head with the gain at 5 and the EQ knobs also all at 5, with the bright switch off. Doing this gives me a tight, clear, mid-rangey...

Hey everyone, I have an unmodded XTC module for sale for $125 shipped. The module is in excellent, like-new condition. It is on of the newer series XTC modules. It's a great module, just not really my style.If you want it, please let me know. Thanks, Distortoman

Hey Matt, My name is Ryan (aka Distortoman), and I have the Randall RM50 50-watt, 2-channel head. I currently own the Blackface (Clean), 1086 (Dan Donegan signature module, modern heavy distortion great for rhythm AND lead), and the XTC module (Great lead module, good distortion for Classic...

Hello everyone, This question is for owners/users of both the 1086 and Grail modules. I was just wondering which module, the 1086 or Grail, is better at nailing tight, Rectifier-esque tones? I have tried the Recto/Rectified module, and it doesn't seem tight enough, even with the .001 cap mod...

Hello everyone, This question is for owners of the Ultra XL module. In your experience witht the module, can the Ultra XL get into the tonal territory of the Bogner Uberschall? Also, is the gain level available in the Ultra XL close to that in the Uberschall? Any feedback/comments would be...

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows what the cap resistor value is in the 1086, is it the .001uF? If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, to those of you with the 1086, do you find it tight enough in palm muting in its stock configuration, or do you feel it could...

Hello everyone, This question is for owners of both the Recto/Rectified and 1086 modules. According to Randall, the 1086 can go from Plexi to Rectified. Just how close can it get to Rectified? Is it just somewhat similar or dead-on similar? How do these modules sound in the context of a band...

Hey guys, Thanks much to all of you for your comments regarding my Rectified/XTC questions. You feedback is greatly appreciated. Distortoman

Hello everyone, Just wondering which of these 2 modules you guys would use/use for Alternative Metal Music (Seether, Shinedown, Staind, etc.)? For those of you who have both of these modules, what are the sonic differences between the two? Which one is better for palm-muting? Any...

Hello everyone, For those who have and use the 1086 module, I was just wondering: do you tend to use module with the mid-voicing switch to the left or to the right? Also, do you find that the two mid voicings are noticeably different from one another, or do you find that having the mid knob on...

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what voltmeter is the best one for the Randall stuff. Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Distortoman

Hey rickgk, soundclips both of the modules by themselves and the modules in context with other instruments (drums and bass) would be most appreciated and also most helpful, because all to often us guitarist forget about the context of our sound in an overall band mix. Thanks much, Distortoman

Hello Gary, In my opinion, my stock 1086 sounds good as is. I think, since this module is newer, I think that Randll must have taken into consideration some of the comments made by people on these forums and made a Hi-gain module that stock, has good note definition, monster crunch, and...

Hey muskpsmesane, From my experience with the 1086, you can DEFINITELY get a good Southern Rock/Classic Rock type of tone out of it if you put the Gain Boost Switch to the left and put the Mid Voicing switch to the right. In my opinion, the classic rock tone from the 1086 is very comparable to...
