Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the all-new Robert Randolph Signature Amp!  This “crossover” amp is 

a highly roadworthy solid state design with concessions for pedal steel, lap steel, and guitar applications and 

was meticulously voiced by Robert Randolph over several iterations of prototypes that evolved from basic and 

proven Peavey steel amp designs into a 500W stereo beast (250W per side) that works equally well for a variety 

of instruments, per Robert’s exacting specifications.  The result is an extremely versatile amplifier that is capa-

ble of capturing the sounds of Peavey steel guitar amps from years past as well as those of overdriven vintage 

“boutique” models that cost tens of thousands of dollars on the vintage market.  The head format allows for any 

number of speaker options for optimal tone possibilities including the new high-output 212-RR stereo/mono 

cabinet (which is now a mainstay for Robert) as well as the new 115-N cabinet that retains the familiar Peavey 

steel amp sound that so many pedal steel players have clung to as a standard for nearly 45 years.  With pre-EQ 

loop, separate mono and stereo post-EQ loops, “smart” stereo loop switching, an added boost function, and a 

studio-quality digital effects section; this may be the last amp that you will ever need.  The included MIDI hand 

controller clips to any standard microphone stand and can be replaced by any other standard MIDI switching 

device for maximum flexibility in switching your rig.  Keep your volume level in check and enjoy!
