Sounds sick!

There was someone arguing in another thread Dime didn't really use these to record. Um... sounds pretty Dime-ish to me here.
Ya, I was arguing with the guy. We all know Dimebag used these amps for many years, I don't know why that guy seemed to think he didn't?? It's easy to realize that when you play through one.

Anyways, nice clip, sounds killer. Would be cool to hear it with a mic'd V30, or maybe blend the Jaguar and V30??
 
1986 is a good year for these amps. Of the 7 I owned, the two from '86 had the most gain and were the most aggressive sounding.
 
It definitely seems to have a little more low end than my century, the voicing seems similar enough though, I’ll try and do a comparison clip
Yes, the RG100ES does have more low end than the Century 200II, but i'm not sure about the original Century 200?? They have a warmer sound than the Centuriy too, more Marshall like in a way. While the Century is just pure grind.
 
You may find that that L-500XL sounds like shit through most tube amps, they sound excellent through SS amps though? They're almost like a super charged single coil pickup with their voicing. Bright and twangy.
 
i have another one that i havent played in years, but this one seems to have way more gain and sound better than i remember the other one. sounds way better with regular boosts too, not sure what dimes thought was with multiple noisy eq's
The Boss ge-7 is really noisy. Get yourself one of those new MXR 6 band EQ's. They're very quiet and they sound just as good as the old blue ones.
 
Out. Standing. That clip sounds vicious. I owned an RG100 briefly in ‘88 and let it go when everything went midi / rack. It’s surprising how good those SS Randalls sound - especially with an eq and a touch of boost.

I tried v30s first and it wasn’t happening with those, way too gritty, they must have mixed them way lower if they did use v30s
 
snagged up this 86 rg100es today, also got my L500xl in my carvin v220 so i figured id do a pantera clip quick. all i did was copy dimes settings from some pictures i have except im using a ge7 and ashly pq16 instead of the mxr and furman, single 57 on a jaguar like im assuming terry date did. i scooped a little at 1khz like ive seen vinny talk about, a couple other minor tweaks and thats it, spent all of 20 minutes total.

Where do you guys get access to all these cool amps. Nothing like that comes up locally.

I'd love a decent old school RG100
Don’t ignore the lower wattage combos; as long as they are from 84-90 they should all have the same circuits. I picked up an RG50 combo, run it to a 412 at 4 ohms and it’s a beast.
 
When aI think of BAD TO THE BONE
Randall guy?
-Dan Donegan of Disturbed.

Before I get torn to shards,

-I got gifted a ticket to one of their shows
3 years or so ago.
That dude….has got THE FORCE.
Scorching 7 minute unaccompanied guitar solo
without a single sour note & kept away from the wah pedal for most of it.
He was feared around Chicago,
-on or off the stage.
His amp sounds scream with
that quintessential MEAN Randall after taste in the
mids & top end bite.
Just gnarly rad.

When he hit the rack wah pedal with
that ‘FAT Q’ after the breakdown in the song “Stupify” at the concert,
I nearly shit my pants in LIBERATION.

I had a legit turtlehead poking about’
the rest of the evening!!’
Thanks Dan, you f’n puke!

Man, that was an awesome sounding clip thru these laptop speakers, and usually everything sounds kinda shitty thru them. Extremely well done sir!
 
How do the newer RG1003 or RG1503 stack up against the classic 100ES? Any insight on this?
