Well, I ordered a Splawn Quick Rod amp

[tonemonster]

After a long fight with my inner cheapskate, I finally ordered a splawn quick rod & cabinet.

I am looking forward to it big time. bought 3 to 4 months wait for it.

any other splawn owners here? I would like to hear about it!

got a nitro. love it . Scott installed a master volume in the loop now so you can get sweet tones without goin deaf. Does that with all the newer models now. Had a prostock ,similar to quickrod without clean ,went with the nitro for the more modern sound. If you like good tone then you will be happy. What speakers did you get?

[tonemonster]

I got small blocks in the hybrid cabinet. Scott recommended that for the tone I wanted to go for.

I just got a nitro and I'm in love with it.

you'll dig it. I have an older QR with the shared EQ and no gears and it sounds good enought that I dont feel I'm missing anything



I also have as Splawn 4x12 with mano'wars and guv'nors in an x pattern

[slowhand66]

I have one of the new QR's (w/clean channel) and like it a lot. I typically run it through a Bogner 4x12 and it is great for the type of music I play (80s metal). 75% of the time I'm in hot rod plexi mode. Very tight sound. It does not hide any of your mistakes.

Thats going to happen and once it does Id suggest selling your road king to fund a splawn nitro.

I want a Splawn and I'm convinced when I finally shell out the $ for an amp it will be what I get.

If you don't mind me asking how much did this set ya back?

The quickrod cost 1850 and if you want extra saturation like i did get the nitro for about 1950.

[toxikdeth]

The QR kills for malmsteen/gilbert tones but the nitro can give you an amazing mediumly saturated shred tone.

well, if the Splawn is that impressive, I will have to sell the Mesa (thats gonna hurt) and fund a 2nd splawn. who knows though.......maybe I will enjoy the variety.
