  • Yet another new amp report...

    This came last week and I haven't had anywhere near as much time with this amp as I would like. But last night I got to kick it pretty hard. This amp is a monster. The sustain is great. Killer punch with palm mutes. Responds very well to rolling back your guitar volume. Easily does early metal, 80's metal, classic rock, EVH, etc. It's not the best amp for Nu-Metal - maybe with a pedal - I haven't used any effects with it at all yet. Pinch harmonics are laughably easy. Very thick on the low end with the Marshall JCM 900 4x12 - I haven't tried any other cabs yet.

    I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

          Sweet amp and a very nice case...is that blue or purple? Whenever I try to take a pic with a flash, purple turns to blue

          What do you have in the power section?

                  Hey Tim, how does the new QR compare to the Splawn Modded 1987x you used to own?

                      Very similar in terms of fundamental tone. The QR is just far more versatile - and louder. That 1987x was completely badass though.
