Finally scored one! The cab I posted about last year just sat in the local shop....finally discounted down from $599 to $249 :shock: :shock: :shock:
One day in and I'm loving it- hence the Marshall 4x12 for sale.
The marshall is a great cab, just has that friendly Marshally Mids bark. This Randall sounds a lot more angry- which matches my current tunes. 5 years ago my band had a poppier E/Eb edge and the Marshall slayed, but playing a lot more DropC to DropA and the Randall is an excellent choice.
The 15 is a lot more subtle than you think- it doesn't jump out thunder on you- it's not like there's a crossover circuit involved. But I can crank the density to the max at 100dbs and it delivers!
I lose some of the Marshall Zakk tone I used to love, but the advantages are all lo-mid-modern-hi-gain glory.
Modules sound different/better. The Angel keeps it's clarity but suddenly becomes a lot closer to the real Engl. Through the Marshall it was just a little to pretty, through the Randall it has a sinister edge I really dig.
Maybe I should do a speaker shootout?
Note to self- speaker selection is a big factor when evaluating modules
