What one piece of equipment do you use to obtain your signature sound?
Randell: I’d say the one piece of gear that makes my sound unique is the 6×12 Emperor Cabs we use.

What about it makes it so important to you?
Randell: The cabs are beasts… they look amazing and sound even better than they look.

What are the major pros and cons?
Randell: The major pro and con is the same thing… how loud they are; it’s perfect for playing live, but almost too loud to jam with at our jam space. [laughs] Oh yeah and they weigh a ton which makes it a pain to carry around.

How long have you used this piece of equipment and would you ever change it?
Randell: We got the cabs around the end of August. I’ll always keep it, but now that the band’s calling it quits i might try and find a 2×12 cab to use at home.

Any final thoughts or comments on the gear?
Randell: I’d recommend any band to contact Emperor Cabs and get them to give you a quote. Amazing cabs for an even better price, not to mention how bad ass you’ll look rocking them live! [laughs]
