(More customer reviews)I love Randall products. I still own and use one of the original G3 300 watt heads every day. Never played a Randall amp I did not like and Randall has some incredible cabs! That being said, this cab is not one of them!
Shortly after I first started playing guitar, my mom bought me a Randall head/cab combo for Christmas. This was the cab that came with it. Now that I have played my thousands of shows and used gear from almost every company, I can tell you avoid this cab at all costs!!! It has a mono input, which I don't like. It only handles 200 watts, no very good at all IMO. All that is just things I don't like, someone else may be suited just fine but the real problem is this cab sounds like GARBAGE! The Jaguar speakers are crap! I used it for recording once and thats where I truly heard how terrible it is! Tons of distortion in your sound (not good distortion either, I mean downright noise/breakup), unclear uneven tone. Just horrible.
One good thing about this cab is, its smaller and more compact than your usual 4x12. Not as much breathing room for the speakers, but still easier to carry around. I tried installing 4 new speakers in it but not just any 12 in can be dropped into this cab. I had to do some routing out to make them fit, it was a mess. Dropping in speakers shouldn't require anything but a screw driver and soldering iron. Needless to say I am trying to sell this POS now.
Honestly if you are a beginner that feels you need to own a 4x12, I would say go with something better. For maybe 1 or 2 hundred more you can get a decent cab. OR MY BEST SUGGESTION! Buy a cab shell and get installed the speakers you want. I use a Behringer Ultrastack cab loaded with 2 Celestion GT75s, an Eminence Man O War, and an Eminence Governor and it is a beast! Think about it, you buy this cab for $350, get to where you realize you need better gear and then have to buy a new cab for maybe $500, $600, $700 or more?! Look how much you have spent! Do yourself a favor and buy top notch each time so you don't have to keep doing upgrades. Buy a shell of a cab for $100, put $400 dollars worth of grade A speakers in it and you have spent just $500 on a cab that fits your individual needs and that you will probably never have to upgrade from. It saves money trust me. AVOID THIS CAB AT ALL COSTS! Its not even good for a beginner because they will never hear their real tone. This thing could make a Peavey 5150 sound like complete crap.
