Members ~Abstract~ Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Why wouldn't you buy a Splawn? My Nitro is one of the best I've owned. I have an inherent distrust of anyone who uses religion to sell a product. Is Peter Diezel, Reinhold Bogner, Mark Cameron, Mike Fortin, or any other top notch amp builder a Christian? I'd guess at least one of those mentioned are. Do they feel the need to wear their religion on their sleeve? Scott uses religion to sell his product...imo it's unethical. I still want to hear what I'm missing...I just can't help support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least someone can consider unethical, like yourself. I like that. He should just call his amps Jesus, or Mother Mary amplification.. that way everyone's tits are out on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm somewhat curious to try an Axe-FX II, but not really dying to or anything. I'm sure there's plenty of amps out there I'd really like if I played 'em, but I don't really feel any great need to try any out or go back to gear whoring or anything. Actually, those little Tweaker amps seem pretty cool. Wouldn't mind trying one of those I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -todgemistro- Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 JCM800. I've always lusted after one since it's "that" rock tone, but never got the chance to play one. I guess my Laney comes close enough. See also: Fender Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's silly and I'm as atheisitic as the next guy. lol. Hell, I paid twice as much to send my kids to pre-school because I didn't want them to go to one run by a church. Honestly though, I really couldn't care less about what other people do with their religious beliefs. He as never come accross as pushing religion to me, or even religious for that matter, when I've talked to him on the phone. Hell I didn't even know about the bible verses in the amps until after I sold my first Nitro. I don't care if there's one in my current amp. It sounds bad ass. Hell when I first heard a clip of the Nitro, it was of Scott playing a Lamb of God riff - not exactly stalwarts of the christian cause given their prior name of burn the priest. lol. I don't see anything on his web-site that espouses christian beliefs - though it might be there - I haven't looked for it specifically. It's not like its a surreal with a jesus fish on the logo. lolPS....maybe there's a bible verse in your Herbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thy God Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'd like to give a Snax a run. A Diezel of some sort, a Titan of some sort, a Peters of some sort. But it's not an overwhelming urge. Between my Mark IV and the 5150 I use with the band, I think I'm pretty much set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would like to have a go on an 800 or bassman but if I don't get the opportunity I won't be upset I get a good enough toane from my GH50L, can't be arsed searching for "the tone" as this makes me happy most of the time.

If it makes you feel better I wouldn't want an amp built by a professed Satanist either...and I wouldn't want them teaching my kid. I'm not anti Christian...just anti religion. ALL religions. Splawn's "about us" page is worth a read. He's also kinda goofy about gut shots and proprietary design...on amps he stole from Jim Marshall. Peter Diezel is German...so if there's some scripture in my amp, at least I couldn't read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
