some of you may still remember me and first off how's everyone been doing? anyhoo i'm back into music like i was back in the day and i'm searching for a new tube amp - i've been looking at a splawn quickrod and i want to try out the new evh 5150 III - i'm getting away from the metal sound and looking for a great old school crunch - i need at least two channels clean and dirty with an effects loop - i want to be able to plug in and have it all there without having to use a pedal in front to give me that push - any suggestions? neddi

I sold my Soldano 100 and bought a Fuchs Frost 100 instead. SLO, great for leads. I wanted to get back to that raw Marshall sound for rhythm. Two channels, one is very high gain like the JCM800 but with more gain (this one was designed with Van Halen's old tech who did his Marshall) and the other channel comes off a Trainwreck design (it cleans up beautifully when you roll back the guitar volume).

I've heard a lot of good things about carol ann amps. Here's their website.
Here's a dealer that carries them and a few others like divided by 13.

It is a kick ass hot-rodded marshall tone and covers antthing from you classic rock to metal. Its a great buy for the mney if you ask me. The new ones have independnnt controls, better clean ch and a gear switch.

I had Scott Splawn modify my Marshall 1987x and the tone was brilliant. I sold it last week to fund a new Splawn amp - I want a loop and a clean channel.
I'm going to drive out to Splawn next Friday to try out amps. I'm pretty sure I'm going to order a Quickrod based on the specs.
I have a Carvin Legacy due to arrive tomorrow - I'm pretty stoked about that one too.I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.
