Members shredhead34 Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 ^Well, he really only builds particular amp models (nitro, QR, PM, etc...) and I don't think he tweaks those designs. He will however talk with you to figure out which amp and or cab as well as power section (EL34, KT77, KT88, etc) would work best to get the sound you want.

I love the saturation and mean tone of the nitro but I prefer the way the QR seemed to sit on top of the mix with its upper mid tones... The nitro seemed better for rythm with the low mid thing. Edit: I guess some el34's and a V30 cab would help the nitro out with what Im lookin for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredhead34 Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 ^Yea man, I know what you mean. I recently sold my QR to fund my new Nitro. I absolutely love the QR but I could not resist going for the Nitro (especially the one I'm getting...I'll explain once it comes in ).But in my experiences the preamp controls on Splawns are very effective and I'm thinking I can just dial in a bit more mids to help bring the Nitro out into the mix better. I also ordered mine with EL34s, as opposed to the KT77s you see in the videos. In my experience the KT77s do bring out the lows/low mids more. EL34s have a bit more high mid emphasis and a grind and sag that I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we have similar taste in tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredhead34 Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 I wasn't at the convention and I'm sure the settings were changed a bit from player to player, but I know the only Nitro there had KT77s in them, gain was around noon, master volume around 9:00. That's about as much as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shredhead34 Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 It's all good. Nah, I'm not Shreder75. My forum name is a bit of a misnomer. I'm hardly a shred demon like Matt. I should really just change my name to "Riffhead34" haha.I've sold a lot of my gear to fund some recent purchases, including my recording setup, but I plan on taking lots of pictures and maybe some video clips with my video camera.ETA ya ask? Well that's kind of what makes my Nitro special. You'll see soon enough. I'll give you a hint though...Scott should be completing the first production Nitro by the end of this week, which will then be making it's way down south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shredhead34 Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^once the first batch of Nitros get out and reviews/clips/pics hit the boards I'd imagine spots for Nov and Dec will fill up and the wait will go into 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Disemboweler Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 You did not join any family because you bought an amp. This kind of thing pisses me off. Because you buy something, does not mean you are part of a "community", "family", "brotherhood", etc. You bought a good amp, and that's all there is to it. Having bought an amp does not give you status among others. In all seriousness, good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sardocasm Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well of course it doesn't. I've just always wanted a chance to say that. It's not as if I'll ever be in the mob or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this kind of thing pisses you off, you need to get out from behind the computer and into the real world and actually find something to be legitimately pissed off at, instead of castigating someone who is nicely saying I bought an amp that people are intimate with on these forums. Now I remember why I stopped posting on these forums, they really breed their own type of assholes here huh? Oh, and thanks, but please, with sugar on top, try not to post in my threads again.

Derek told me they seem to be of better build quality than the Sovtek KT88, and they probably have that low end I would be looking for when playing metal. Even though he suggested them, I had my mind made up beforehand I am also getting it in the 800 style:rawk:, black with red piping and red lettering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Charvel1975 Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 I wish I could say the same. I'm too influenced by what I read here. I'm gonna snag a new amp soon. I love the Rectifier, but I'm ready for something else. Me too, I have a Tremoverb but I'm looking for something different and more versatile. I only played thru a QR once for a quick minute but I love the sound!! I'm gonna wind up putting in an order for a Nitro. Who's takin orders close to Ohio?
