The last paragraph is obviously an advertisement..I`m going to reword it slightly so it a least doesn`t sound like one although it should probably be omitted completely. Lonepilgrim007 (talk) 19:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find a link to randallamplifiers.com

…which (among other points) says Randall was president of Fender in 1953.

…and that in 1990 he sold the brand to USMC. This is a critical distinction, as that wording suggests he did not sell the factory, inventory, tooling, designs, patents, etc., merely some combination of trade dress and goodwill. If there is actually some unbroken connection aside from the "Randall" moniker, then this MUST be clarified.

Randall Amplifiers made its place in the '70s with FET-circuit solid-state amps, an older cousin to the Roland Jazz Chorus line, which (going full circle here) "became popular to use for clean tones in heavy metal, with the most famous users being James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett". Why is there no mention of these roots?

In order to even approach being encyclopedic, this article MUST show some effort at following the entire story, not merely cherry-picking the bits that make the present corporation sound best.
