[QUOTE="Owner, post: 78335, member: 581"] Hey, [b]gratz[/b] on your new.. well, old Randall! :D 80$ is an amazing steal! More like a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krystal_Steal]Krystal Steal[/url].. 8) Your amp is not a standard [b]RG80ES[/b] head. Although labeled "ES", it's an "XP" variant of the amp; the engineers at Randall had solved the drastic Volume Drop issue the RG-ES's had with the "Sustain Boost" option activated, when the Treble knob was pulled. They came up with the [b]XP-3[/b] ([url=http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g409/chickenfire/Picture0804.jpg]click for photo[/url]), an external Volume boost box to be linked between the amp & speaker cabinet to recover the lost headroom while the Treble knob was pulled. They practically applied the circuitry in that box internally to the ES models, removed the Treble Push/Pull and placed a Button switch instead.. along with a light gray / black panel color transaction. These'd be the [b]RG80XP[/b].. just like you've got. :wink: [/QUOTE]
