"A successful mix of solid-state and valve technology reaps many tonal rewards. Tons of additional features make this Ninja one to embrace, not fight".

Entitled 'Monsters Of Rock' this month's Guitarist Magazine round-up focuses on three extremely versatile rock and metal heads. Standing alongside the Rivera K-Tre Reverb and Peavey 6505+ is the Randall V2 Ninja.

Inspired and designed Michael Amott of Arch Enemy, the V2 Ninja features Randall's revolutionary Valve-Dynamic power section, 3 MIDI Programmable channels, sustain boost and assignable 6 band graphic EQ.

"Randall has long been lauded for its transistor amps and here we have a hybrid, utilizing solid-state and valves for the best of both worlds".

"For staccato rhythm, the solid-state overdrive is spot on and, if you use the perfectly voiced Sustain Boost function to add even more gain, your chords and single notes have ample attack".

"The Ninja channel is extremely versatile and, if you experiment with the master density control and use the graphic wisely, it's possible to try out many differing sounds. Consider Metallica, Alter Bridge and Slipknot; those bands all use wildly diverse crushing sounds and that level of versatility is apparent here".

"We'd wager that if you have a tone in your head, you'll get close to it using this amp...and well, what's not cool about a silver amp that glows red?".

"...with this many tones at your fingertips, Randall really is spoiling us...".
