Randall · amplifier
The Randall RD100H Diavlo is a three-channel 100-watt all-valve head from the Diavlo series, Randall's all-tube line built alongside the solid-state designs the company was historically known for. Three channels cover clean through to high gain, and the valve output section gives a different compression and response from Randall's solid-state amplifiers. At 100 watts it is built for stage use. It suits metal and hard rock players who want Randall high gain from an all-valve circuit.
