hey!, i was wondering if you guys could help a brother out!! i just picked up a brand spanking new Randall RH100G2 head and cab. and i love the f***ing thing, but im not getting the power and sound i want out of it!!. if anyone can help my out, it'll be a HUGE help!!
Im lookin for a Dimebag Darrell tone basicly, i want that razor sharp cutting tone!! and i'd also like to know how to get a POWERFUL vintage metal sound, classy and pretty, but can nail ya in the chest!! a Zakk Wylde deal!! i know a Marshall is the way to go with a vintage sound, but i know i can find a way to get one on a Randall.
i basicly want anything that can be powerful, and low, and can feel it in the ground and chest when you crank the amp up!!, i'll read ya off the knobs!!

DIRTY CHANNEL:
Reverb, Contour, Bass, Middle, Treble, Gain
CLEAN CHANNEL:
Bass, Middle, Treble, Reverb

heres a pic of the thing...

I have a Randall too, RH200SC. For hard, heavy and chest punding metal, I use:
Treble:9,Mid:8,Bass:10,Gain:8,Contour:3
or
Treble:10,Mid:2,Bass:10 for more of a crunchy sound.
I don't use any of the effects on my amp(reverb,chorus) much since I don;t notice much of a sound difference. This was the only Randall any store actually carried, otherwise I would have bought a RH200G2 or RH100G2 instead.
As for the "Dime" sound, I heard that he uses Treble:10,mid:9,bass:8. Not sure though.
BTW what model cab do you have?

scooped Mids? grose

What's wrong with scooped mids?

It sounds like a monkey taking a dump in a can that's what''s wrong with it
and it's funny you get a more crunchy sound if you scoop mids. normally you would have to turn your mids up

Scooped mids for death metal,no.Scooped mids for Nu-metal works,no matter how much you may loathe the sound.

I was just messing with my amp settings and actually now that you mention it, the extra 'crunch' comes from the contour control not the scooped mids. My bad! So disregard my last post...scooped mids DO suck!

TeeJayRIFF, forget about the second settings I mentioned, stick with the first one...it's better for DM as *insert name here* said.
Thanks for pointing that out man!
DEEEEAAAAAAAAAATHHHHHHH MEETAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

I like my Randall RG50TC with
Bass:6
Mids:6
Treble:8
Thats only with my LP custom though.

You would scoop the mids, since he wants the Dime tone. There's nothing wrong w/ scooping the mids a little, as long as you don't have them at like -123412123 and blast the fucking treble and highs up to the point that you're ears are bleeding.

oxymoron? what is there to love about it if you can get the sound you want out of it? or the power?

i hate scooped mids, it sounds way to muddy, and doesnt cut through...

Sometimes if I feel that my settings (t:10,m:8:b:9) are too muddy, depending what guitar I'm playing on, I either lower the gain on the amp a bit or I turn down the tone on my guitar to about half way.

What settings would you fellows recommend on my JCM200 for;
1) Death Metal- Psycroptic, Necrophagist etc
2) Early 90s raw black metal (this is the one I need to know most!!)- Mayhem, Immortal, Mysticum, Emperor, Tsjuder etc
3) Traditional 80s stuff- Motley Crue, Skid Row etc

Volume 1/2
Bass 10
Mids 0/1
Treble 8
Gain 10
Reverb 9
