Post by Jerry Hayes R.I.P. »

I recently got a Randall Steelman 500 amp in a trade. I'd been looking for one of these for many years since my old Randall got stolen a long time ago. I really like this amp a lot! It has a 15" JBL speaker and a lot of power and punch. I especially like the remote reverb knob which clips on the leg of the steel similar to the Peavey Session 500........Thanks, JH in Va.

Jerry, I wondered what happened to that amp. I have a friend in California that uses two of them. Great sound and tone.
Send me an email. Like to jaw with you. Jim Bob

I have been playing through one for a little over a year. I replaced the original spring tank with a long-decay three-spring unit from Accutronics for about $30 and as a result it has replaced my high-dollar rack rig with big-time tone and ease of hauling it. It took me a little while to get it dialed in, now I'm loving it and would buy a second if I had the bucks. Make that WHEN I have the bucks....<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Dave Grafe on 16 February 2006 at 10:26 AM.]</p></FONT>
