Randall · amplifier
The Randall NB King 112 is Nuno Bettencourt's signature 30-watt all-valve 1x12 combo, voiced for the dynamic, punchy, mid-forward rock tone of the Extreme guitarist rather than extreme high gain. With two channels, it delivers expressive cleans and a thick, articulate crunch-to-lead voice that cleans up with the guitar volume, favored by funk-rock and classic-rock players.
