Absolutely killer tone from both amps but I’d say the 1503 has a bit more balls. This is the Randall content I’ve been waiting for thanks for making this.
@@beefnacos6258 yep you’re right I just looked. 649.99 everywhere. It’s a great head for 300 bucks but absolutely no way I’d pay 650 or 800 for one lol. They’re smokin dick. At that point I’d just go buy a Bugera 6262 or a 6505 lol
Awesome video!!!! I really want a RH200. Played one in a rehearsal room around 2010, and I asked the guy at the desk - is that a tube head, and when he said no, I couldn't believe it!
You nailed what the 200 sounds like: a solid state 5150. Both sound great though. The RG is just a few tweaks from Dime Time, but doesn't cut through like the 200 does. Great video!
I had a first generation RH200 in high school. I loved that damn amp. I regret selling it. It sounded so good, especially once you dialed it in just right. It could probably throw down with the 5150's and Dual Recs of the world in terms of high gain tone.
I had an RG3003H and loved it to bits. I preferred the blue channel, sounded more modern to me. But then I got a Randall V2 which made the RG obsolete for me. Also fucking love your riffs, glad to see more videos from you Matt!
I've always wanted to try a Randall RH200 with an Aural Exciter or some kind of other sonic maximizer (in my case, the Exciter on the Zoom MS50G) in the loop of the amp. I've put it in the loop of my Randall RG80 combo and it makes that amp come to life. You don't have to push in the mid scoop button on the amp to get a full, thick tone like you do with the mid scoop, it sounds full enough right off the bat. What i find most impressive about the amp is that if you crank the treble and adjust the presence just enough to where you get enough attack but not to the point where you get a clanky pick attack, you could possibly run the newer Randall RG amps without a boost in front. I've done it with my Schecter SLS Evil Twin 6 string and i've gotten spot on early Cannibal Corpse tones without a boost in front.
I preferred the tone of the RH but having owned the rg preamp I greatly preferred the sound of the blue channel; less compressed and more open/clear in the midrange.
The RH is so much more to my liking. And if you ask me, it's clearly closer to early Dime sound. I wonder if an RH G3 will sound more like an RH G2 or like an RG ...
Good question. I never really felt that the blue channel offered anything drastically different. The red sounds more "old school" maybe? Blue is a bit tighter and more mid-centric, but they can be dialled in to sound like one another.
@@NumbskullAudioProduction AFAIK, blue channel is basically the red one with an input mid boost, like, to eliminate the need for a Tube Screamer-ish/EQ pedal in front.
This is my 6th time here this week. Came for the chug. Stayed for the riffs. Good amp. Does the rh100 deliver the same ? Or 200 watts make all thr difference?
Both sounded killer. Does anyone know where the RX series falls within the Randall range? I guess more so in comparison with the RG line as you can get both new still.
There is a very small difference that I could hear, and it was only in the low end. There seems to be a lot more bass in the rg1503, it also is definitely a lot cruchier.
I have and use an RG75 and I thought it sounded pretty damn good for ss. Then recently I read something about putting an EQ pedal in the effects loop. Holy cow! It woke my amp up, It made my tone jump out, its a little confusing to tweak it along with the amps presence knob and on board equalization, but I came up with something pretty damn good eventually, problem is, I keep trying to get it perfect and often end up getting mush. So I finally just locked in the most decent tone I could get and am trying hard not to mess with it...lol.
(Not trying to be a dick) I want to flat out call bullshit on the rh200 sounding that good. It was my first head purchase 20 years ago and never sounded this good. Always needed a distortion pedal or multi fx to get anything decent from it. Mines the G2 w a cutout faceplate but yours has a solid faceplate. I'm plugging mine in later w just an overdrive to test this. I'll put a response after. Now I have better cabs to put it through. Great playing.
@@gutsfiend6678 I’m scared of buying one. I bought the Diavlo and hated it… I want this one now but i’m scared it will not sound good. I have a apex pre amp to go behind it though.
Its a damn shame there are no high gain solid state amps modelled in the line 6 helix because they have tighter lows than tube amps. I think the RH has more warm and full sound, the RG sound is nice and crispy but a bit thin. I have RH150 and Marshall MG100 go thru orange 412 which sounds awesome without any pedals, it really makes me think why people buy expensive tube amps and put a solid state pedal in front of it? The 2 amps of mine cost 1000e used in total.
The RH200 sounds absolutely killer in this clip. I don't know about anyone else, when I put an OD in front of mine, it sounds really bad? It doesn't really need an OD to be fair, plenty of balls on tap 💪
Don't care how they sound. Randall is a shit company making shit products. I bought a new RG1503 2x12 combo, and you couldn't even play it for 5 minutes without it blowing a fuse. I returned the first example for replacement. The second example was just as bad. I attempted to contact Randall multiple times with no response. They never got back to me. I ended up giving the amp away. I will never buy another Randall product again.
Woo Randall Rh200 have amazing sound, I liked a lot.
Thanks for this video man lml
Absolutely killer tone from both amps but I’d say the 1503 has a bit more balls. This is the Randall content I’ve been waiting for thanks for making this.
The RH is really good too. It's tight. You can eq more bottom end into the RH200 with a parametric.
I agree the 1503 has a little more oomph, I might have to get one damn!
@@quickdrawmcgraw3567 I love my 1003 (same as 1503). They sure are expensive now though. Mine was 299. They are close to 800 now
@@nalley6815 650 on sale. It looks like people aren't buying

Those riffs and both amp tones are sick AF!!!
Both sounding great, well done on the demo btw, fantastic playing!

excellent playing!
@@bobwalder2187 thanks!
And your riffs are awefully awesome ;)

Imo, the 1503 takes the cake by miles ❤
Nice riffs and production. Subbed.
Great intro!
awesome riffs
Sounds 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Decapitated vibes!
Make more Randall videos!!!

Damn this tone rocks.

RG1503 has a really nice open-sounding fizz on top.
Dude, that song you played.....fucking nice!
My little damn iPhone speakers just can’t get loud enough!! Sounds so bad ass!!
Just bought an RG1503, definitely the better sounding amp to my ears in this vid!
I'd go with the RG1503, but how about the blue channel?
Good question. I never really felt that the blue channel offered anything drastically different. The red sounds more "old school" maybe? Blue is a bit tighter and more mid-centric, but they can be dialled in to sound like one another.
@@NumbskullAudioProduction AFAIK, blue channel is basically the red one with an input mid boost, like, to eliminate the need for a Tube Screamer-ish/EQ pedal in front.
Blue channel sounds obviously different than the red, I have no idea what you're talking about here

Thank you sir! They're on par with each other really, but the 200 just has a bit more grind and oomph.
Got the RG1003.. it does whatever I need it too..
holy shit man this chugs a lot i love it
That intro!!! XD
Edit: Fucking MEAN tone for solid-states!
any pedals behind it?
Both sounded killer. Does anyone know where the RX series falls within the Randall range? I guess more so in comparison with the RG line as you can get both new still.
How’s the RH200 for dimebag tones?
Both sound great as Randall's all do. I would think the RH200 is better for recording and the RG150 is better for live performance.
nice playing man!!
Do you have the bass boost or mid scoop activated on the RG1503?
Am picking one of these 200s up do you still rock yours dude
Not sure if anyone's asked yet but what mics did you use? Also, loving the song and the tone!
I'm a simple man - always an SM57!
There is a very small difference that I could hear, and it was only in the low end. There seems to be a lot more bass in the rg1503, it also is definitely a lot cruchier.
Hey man! What’s the best way to contact you?
Great riffs! I'm very surprised at the tone of the RH200. The other sounds more crisp and definitive, but I'd definitely jam that solid state.
Sweet tones man! Have to say prefer the RH200 over both 🤘🤘
Great Channel,Thank you you tube algorithm.subscribed🤘👍
RG1503 is so much better. Much more gnarly sounding.
I have and use an RG75 and I thought it sounded pretty damn good for ss. Then recently I read something about putting an EQ pedal in the effects loop. Holy cow!

I've owned many amps over the years but 1503h blew me away in ten minutes.
which version of the rh200 is this g2 g3?
G2
I HAD the 1503 for a few years, it is a Tonal Beast imo. Not the prettiest cleans, but it made up for it in Chunk & brutal tones on th3e gain channel
Hi, why did you sell out of curiosity? Cleans can be fixed with a pedal too.
@@sixjac i just have a problem staying with a set amp . Makes me happy for a few months or even 6, but then find something else I like better.
Subscribed!
1503 sounds fantastic separately, but 200 sounds good in mix.
Great riffin, the 1503 has balls , way more saturated
you deserve many more views man, i hope I'll trade my rh100 g2 one day with an rg
Thanks my man!

Bulshit
I wish my 1503 sounded like this, it's just muddy as hell
might be the cab, tube screamers always help if you don’t have one too

I think both of 'em rip. I'm a big fan of the Diavlo line of amps and don't hate the SS models I've heard.
Rg 1503 all day
1503 for me please. The 200 does sound more modern but no thanks
хочу сделать у тебя реамп )
The Rh 200 has more low end balls my friend. And can dial in more mid and high
Lol 1503 by a landslide

I’ve seen those before and people love them. Must of been a bad one.
How did you mic the cabs?
