A real metal monster!
This used to be my touring amp until it got replaced by the Kemper. It has some interesting features for dialing in some extreme sounds. Two distortion-channels (one solid-state, the other with valve-distortion) which both add a lot of gain to circuit. The tight-loose-switch works wonders in the valve channel. The 6-band-EQ is really nice for morphing the sound to your liking just as the density-presence-controls shape further to the hi- and low-end. So if you get pretty much control over the hi-gain-sound this amp delivers. But stay away if you’re looking for anything else. The clean channel is obsolete and reducing the preamp gain will not result in warm crunch sounds. This is probably due to the direct nature of the mosfet-transistor-poweramp.

Dimebag Darrell uses the Randall V2 Amp Head as a backup when his X2 model is unavailable. This is evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on PhotoBucket.
ANTHRAX SCOTT IAN TOUR USED & SIGNED RANDALL V2 AMPLIFIER This tour used Randall V2 amplifier is in EX working condition, though there are several scuffs and snags in the vinyl from heavy use. The top handle has been removed to allow another amplifier to be stacked on top. This amp has a 1 x 3” piece of bright green tape in the middle of the top front edge that reads “Main.” The top is signed by Scott Ian in silver sharpie.
"For this new record, I used my signature Washburn WV66GT , plus a Telecaster for clean sounds. As far as amps go, I used a Roland Jazz Chorus for the clean sounds, which I also used for the acoustic guitars, and also Randall V2s. When doubletracking rhythm parts, I’d change the EQ a little from part to part to get a different tone. The only pedal I used was a wah, which I used for the solo on “Do What You Do.”
