Randall MTS Series Amps
Introduction
Randall has asked famed amp builder Bruce Egnater to create a line of amps that is very intriguing.
What is so unique about the Randall MTS series, each amp features a modular preamp section that
allows the user to swap preamp modules. These preamp modules replicate the preamp section of
different amps ranging from a Marshall Plexi to Fender Twin to Bogner Ectasy. Unlike other amp
modeling systems the Randall MTS system is a completely tube circuit featuring 6L6, EL34 or EL84
power amp sections and each module contains 2 12AX7 preamp tubes.
There is a parallel line of products available from Egnater at a different price point.
This concept is not new as Seymour Duncan issued the Convertible during the 1980's which featured
swappable modules but the idea never took off.
Randall MTS Form Factor
The Randall MTS series features all common amp form factors of a rack system, combo and head. The
combos come in 100 watt, 80 watt, 50 watt and a newly announced 20 watt version. Heads come in
100 and 50 watt and the rack system features separate preamp and power amps with a tube power amp
rated at 50 watts and a 200 watt solid state power amp.
