THE RG300ES IS A RG100ES BASED 2 CHANNEL PREAMP WITH 300 WATT CLASS D AMPLIFIER
Two independent channels, Channel A Distortion and Channel B Clean with a series effects loop, Presence and Resonance controls. Preamp Line Out with the ability to mute the Line Out or Speaker Out. Powered by a 300W Class D amplifier Module.
This is a faithful recreation of an early black tolex 84/85 Randall RG100ES. Channel layout has been upgraded though to allow for independent eq controls for both channel A and channel B. The obsoleted and often noisy orginal spec transistors have be replaced with modern surface mount j201 fets to help increase reliability while reducing unwanted noise.
FAQ
Q: What are the PRES and RES controls? Can they be bypassed?
The Presence (PRES) control will control the overall sharpness of the signal. The Resonance(RES) control will control the overall depth of the signal. These were not featured in the original VH140 circuit but they are not bypass-able. The "original" VH tones can still be dialed in.

A: Any instrument speaker cabinet or group of cabinets with a minimum impedance of 4 ohm and a max impedance of 16 ohm.
Q: What is the wattage?
A: 300W @ 4ohm, 150W @8 ohm, 75W @ 16 ohm.
Q: Does it come me with a channel footswitch?
A: Yes, bit you will need to supple a mono instrument cable to connect the footswitch to the amplifier.
Q: Can it be rack mounted? Does it have rack ears?
A: The chassis is shorter and narrower than a 2U rack unit and is best mounted on a simple rack shelf.
Q: What voltage can I use it with?
A: 100VAC to 240VAC will power the unit. You will need to provide the correct IEC plug in cable for it though.
Q: What is the the purpose of the Line Out/Amp switch?
A: This switches the output of the preamp from the power amp to the Line Out jack while muting the power amp. Connect the line out to your DAW for silent recording.
