Anyone here play a Randall 667?

[PurityS.L.G]

I got to try one a long while back but don’t remember much of it. Didn’t mess with the controls much either so I didn’t get a proper play out of it. Not much info out there on these things. I know it’s basically a Fortin Meathead, which I’ve never even seen one in real life.

I've had one for 4-5 years. It's my primary gigging amp when I'm using a larger setup. I don't know that it has a voice that's all its own, but it's very versatile. Channels 1 & 2 seem like flavors of Fender. 3 & 4 are Marshall-esque, and 5 & 6 get into more modern high gain. You can select low, medium, or high gain for each channel, and there's also a built in boost if you want to goose the front end. Dual effects loops, dual masters. All of it MIDI assignable/switchable too. Bright and voicing switches as well. Big iron, thick PCBs. Takes pedals really well. The head shells crack just by looking at them though.

Each pair of channels have their own preamp tubes, and not much shared topology between them, so not the usual circuit compromises you get with a channel switcher. It responds well to tube changes; you'll hear the difference in different tubes in the V1 positions. Lots of options for power tubes too, and easy biasing.

I think they were priced a little high for what they are, but some of that was probably covering licensing fees to Fortin. They are a lot of amp though, and I get some great tones out of mine. If you like to tweak things and having lots of tone shaping options, it's a great amp, but it takes a little time.

CH1+2 Voicing L = Fender Twin

CH1+2 Voicing M = Plexi

CH1+2 Voicing H = Silver Jubilee (IMO)

CH3+4 Voicing L,M,H = Marshall JCM800 with 3 different levels of gain staging.

CH5+6 Voicing L,M,H = Diavlo (Mesa Boogie style) with 3 different levels of gain staging (Note: really need boost to get that clipping going)

Does it come with a Free Wah?

Kinda knew I should have trademarked 667 when I started using it. But at 12 years old my knowledge of intellectual property and branding was sorely lacking(still is)

I played one. Channel 5-6 are over the top. I preferred maxing out channel 4. I actually liked it a lot, just thought it looked hilarious with the size of it compared to what’s considered normal.

It was super easy to play and the note definition was great but it lacked any kind of aggression in the gain structure. I think if I had to compare it to anything it would be similar to the boss waza amp IMO.
