My friend owns the B-52 and it sucks pretty bad. The distortion is very muddy and it gets too chunky at high volumes.

I played a XXX head with a b-52 cab and it wasn't to bad. Since when was chucky a bad thing? Maybe I'm thinking of crunch or some other word close to that. I would sya Randall...but I've never played one. The head is a baby haha.

I cant say anything about the Randall or the Marshall but I can say with unwaivering confidence that the B-52 BLOWS. Do yourself and anyone you will play in a band with a favor and never buy that amp. My old guitarist had it and is trying to sell it. I could lie and say its a fine amp and tell you to buy it from him for a reasonable price but I couldnt live with the guilt.

The only problem is with buying used is that i'd have to go for ebay, or any other international dealer, the shipping and handling alone is over 100 USD, and the fedex where i live will not read the "fragile" printed on the box

There is technically an ebay canada, but most things on there are just international dealers. And no, there is no buy and sell dealers...toronto is my best bet, but its a fair hike

Ive tried out my friend's Marshall MG combo and it sounded decent. Ive never tried out that model of the Randall you're thinking about so I dont know how good or bad it is. I do have an older RH version head and it kicks ass. If you can find an RH version (the older ones, circa 2000) I would get one of those as those are good for metal.
