Tube amp KRANK-Randall

Post by yama13 » Wed Feb 12, 2014 2:11 pm

Greetings for several weeks seeking the net diagrams or advice on how to build a tube apparatus brand Randall ... still without success. '/ And therefore appeal to you if anyone has experience with construction Randall? true enlightened or documentation?

Once I mainly LEAD channel and I only need a two channel amplifier.
I love the sound of ANTHRAX :rock: and :rock: PANTERA yeaaah: D lampového something to this music, so I do not have to use distortionbox because I know that these devices can handle it :)

Thanks :hairband:


I enclose here a few schemes

Can you find the right transformers and can you etch a PCB? Can you design one that big? Build a SLO clone, and you'll have the gain, the clean and every thing... And it will sound better. After all Dimebag switched to a tube amps from KRANK because they sounded better than a transistor type amp. Like Randall Warhead :)

For example, randall RH100 ... It is a decent wallop me;) or recommend any of KRANK amplifier scheme because the sound I also like very much

I dont know what antrhax sound you are looking for cause scott has used A LOT of gear over the years. So if you can be a bitt more specific maybe we can give you some better advice.

Also the advice from Haze is a good point. Tube amps sound more 3D to my ears then transistor. Also most of the times they are easier to build then transistor builds.

I apologize for the clarification regarding the example of Scott Randall V2 heads or JCM800 (I have already found a lot of schemes to it but no one had penetrative GAIN as original and transformers DAGNALL got home from England who used Marshall) or Randall RH50/100

You can build a tube amp as a base sound, and then to use pedals for a boost or for the gain. Like this: pedal for the gain and amp for the power. You can build different tube preamps (Soldano GTO/SLO, ENGL, KRANK, MESA...) and then just to use a low gain channel of an amp.
I have JCM800 that I build, and if I want more gain I use Maxon OD820 that I build with some mods, and I can play most of the metal stuff (modern/old school). BUT! If I want some blues or rock sound, I plug straight in to the amp with a cable only.
It's a very good option to have a classic rock sounds, because modern high gain amps can't do that. Sound is compressed but with a small amount of the gain. Sounds horrible if you want play blues or if you want just to practice.
