It might be a Splawn........

Watching this makes me want to toss my Vetta II HD out the nearest window:

So now I'm thinking of getting a Splawn instead of a Marshall JVM410H. I haven't heard a Splawn video yet that didn't sound amazing.

Great amps. I've had three.

They sound awesome but you need to play them LOUD .

I've heard great things about Splawn amps, and that demo sure sounds good.

I know this it a little OT, but have you tried a Friedman / Friedman mod? I was looking to buy a lunchbox amp, but decided that realistically I'd need to put it through a 4x12 to get it to sound as big as I wanted, so I ended up with a Marshall 87x which Friedman had modified. And I am blown away by it. I used to totally swear by my rack, and anything else just didn't match up to that sound. Since getting the Friedman mod in December, I've used my rack twice... And it sounds incredible quiet. Really quiet.

I tried a Splawn Street Rod with one of their 4x12's with small blocks and it wasn't for me. If I wasn't still really happy with my Axe 2 I'd be super tempted to grab a Pink Taco...

Love my Nitro, thinking about a QR as well.

They do a superb job.

I'm biased, as I'm a Splawn owner. Mine's a Competition, so a lot fewer
options than a Quick Rod. The Competition's a perfect amp for me, but
I think the Marshall would give you more options than a Quick Rod. Also,
Splawns aren't as gainy as a lot of people think. Try to play one before you
buy...

Believe me, that's my goal. but it's tough around here. Hell, the local GC doesn't have anything in Marshall except for the new DSL100. Forget about Splawn or Friedman.
