Controls

• Bass and Treble - Provide a classic, semi-active tonestack (traditional design with a buffer).
• Mid - The boost or cut of the parametric, active EQ stage.
• Sweep - Sets the center frequency of the Mid control.
• Presence - boost or cut the high end, using an active EQ stage.
• Density - boost or cut the lowest frequencies, using an active EQ stage.

 

Channel 1

• Gain - Controls the gain on the clean channel. Note - the channel is very clean, so in practice this works more like a second volume control!
• Volume - Controls the overall output volume of the clean channel.

Channel 2

• Gain - Controls the gain on the drive channel. 
• Volume - Controls the overall output volume of the drive channel.
• Boost - Engaged an additional gain stage in front of the drive channel, to add even more compression and gain.

• Channel Switch - Switches between the Clean and Drive channels.
• Active Switch - Engages or bypasses the pedal with a relay (true bypass).

The original

The Randall Warhead X2 is a legendary solid-state amplifier known for its high-gain tone, massive low-end response, and razor-sharp articulation. Designed in collaboration with Dimebag Darrell, this amp was built to deliver his iconic sound, with minimal need for tweaking or additional effects. Its aggressive voicing, combined with an ultra-tight attack, allows for precise riffing and blistering solos, perfectly suited for both heavy, down tuned playing styles, and wild whammy-bar solos.

The heavy use of active equalization means the circuit has a very distinct sound; one that's clearly born from the tone of Pantera and isn't afraid to show it. But it also means it might not be everyone's first choice, and is very much a case of either loving or hating it, as it can be difficult to dial out that signature EQ curve.

Features

• True Bypass with Relay switching.
• Soft-touch footswitches.
• Internal voltage-boost mechanism ensures circuit runs at same voltage as the original amp.
• Rugged 16 gauge (1.6mm) steel enclosure with textured powder coat finish.
• Solid aluminium knobs.
