Elliott Randall

"To my ears, the Ragin Cajun seems to cover more desirable frequencies than many others Ive used. I asked Hiwatt to build me a 2 x 10_ cabinet for a pair of these Cajuns. They obliged. Now, with the end product sitting micd up in my studio _we are delighted. These babies can purr and they can bark; they understand the guitar. I can tell you that this pair o tens will be vibrating here for a long time to come." Elliott Randalls illustrious career has encompassed a wide and varied cross-section of World Musical forms.
