Cool clip, I like the tone on the slow breaks.

I would really like to get one of these amps. Splawns rock.

Nice, chunky tone! Your palm mutes are good and tight, too.

How did you get your competition set up? I have a Pro Mod and if I made a few tweaks I think I could dial it in to a tone just like that. Right now I have mine set up a little different to sound more "marshally," but that tone is definitely in there.

Splawns kill. I've been gigging mine hard for over a year now and it's never had a problem. I tend to speak so highly of them that sometimes I think I sound like a shill.

how do sthese competitions sound at lower volumes (not that it really matters since I have a hot plate) but I'm interested anyway.
cool tone, these have been on my "wish list" for a while now.

It has JJ KT88's in the power section.
I put a Mesa SPAX7 in V1, Sovtek LPS in V2 and a GT 12AX7-C in V3.

I'm really digging this amp. It is Marshally....like a super hot rodded type of marshall jcm 800 yet it definately has its own thing going on. It works great for me. I'm in a Slayer Tribute band and it nails Slayer tones. It also works well with the style and type of music that I like.....80's/speed/thrash/death/metal.

They sound real good at bedroom levels. Of course they sound better at band practice or gig levels...but they also sound good at low volume levels.

That certainly sounds like a high gain Marshall.

Ha, I thought it was running KT88s. That didn't sound like EL34 / QR tone to me.

I like KT88s a lot. I retubed my PM with the "C" labeled SED KT88s, but I've used the JJs before and will probably go back to them when I re-tube.

Who can tell with a "clip"..seriously

you can Q it to sound like just about anything..

Andy Sneap makes Kranks sound good.

Excellent point. Sneap is a metal guitar tone master, though. I will say this - all the Splawn clips I've heard sound just like the amps do in the room. I think that's a big part of their appeal - their tone goes down to tape or disc very very well.

I heard nothing but awesomeness about Splawns..

I wished I seen one around here I could get my hands and ears on..
