The Randall Thrasher is a 120-watt, 2-channel, 4-mode all-tube guitar amplifier head designed by amp engineer Mike Fortin, running six 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6 power tubes with separate low-frequency and high-frequency gain controls for tight, focused high gain. Drop tunings and 7 and 8-string guitars stay clear and defined even at maximum saturation, which is exactly what this amp was built for.

Key Features
- Dual-band gain control: LF and HF Gain knobs let you carve saturation by frequency, tightening the low end for drop tunings without losing aggression
- 4 modes across 2 channels: from clean headroom to over-the-top gain, all footswitchable
- Tube series/parallel loop: runs time-based effects wet/dry or fully serial
- Emulated XLR out: record silent in standby with the built-in 4x12 speaker emulation
- Road-ready build: heavy-duty metal front and rear grills, corners, and edging with dual top handles
Who Is the Thrasher For?
The Thrasher is for metal and hard rock players who need studio-tight high gain at stage volume, especially anyone playing extended-range or drop-tuned guitars. If you want a simpler single-channel tube head for the same aggressive voicing, look at the RD Series heads instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Randall Thrasher work with active pickups?
Yes. It has dedicated passive and active inputs, so EMG-loaded guitars plug into the active input for correct gain staging.
What outputs does the Thrasher have for recording?
It has an XLR emulated line out with ground lift that works in standby for silent recording, plus a raw 1/4 inch line out and five speaker jacks.
Is a footswitch included with the Thrasher?
Yes. The 2-button RF2-LED footswitch for channel and boost switching comes in the box.
Can I bias my own power tubes on the Thrasher?
Yes. It has push/pull bias controls with external test points, so you can bias replacement 6L6s with just a multimeter.
