Members Sordid1 Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 That thing is sexy as hell! I'm really interested in the Splawn heads, the features seem great, the lead tone is amazing from the clips and the prices are cheaper than Marshall and they are supposed to be better so i'm definitely intrigued.

I'm just nervous as hell considering I haven't had a chance to play through one yet =( That is my big issue! I have a few amps on my list that I think would be great but without playing them i'm not sure. I have heard of people going through Cobra's and other amps I want and coming back to a XXX so I don't know if it's just gas attacking me or if they really are better amps. I am happy with my tone but like any guitarist I always think it could be a little better. I have bought a lot of gear in the last year so i'm going to have to save up some gig money to fund another amp if I find something I truly like better!

I guess I have never hated an amp that I thought I would like but there have only been a few in my life that really did it for me, my XXX is one of those and before that it was my Mesa Mark IIB, I spent years trying to replace that due to some live versitility issues but every time I would try something out it would either sound about the same or worse so I kept it forever. I have friends in LA so I just need to go visit them soon so I can try out the majority of the gas I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to give it a couple more days and if I don't hear from the dealer (who was supposed to be getting it in soon and was also outta town) then I'll be a pain in the ass and send him another email....if he STILL doesn't have it, I might just have to call scott on saturday and say the hell with it....

I have a local dealer that carries fairly high end stuff and he is usually willing to try new stuff so i'm going to talk to him about Splawn and maybe Framus. Right now he carries Mesa, Rivera, Badcat, Thd and will get in various other stuff from time to time. He doesn't have a badcat in stock yet though since apparently they are back ordered pretty bad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have a badcat in stock yet though since apparently they are back ordered pretty bad right now. the music store where I used to live (now about 20 minutes out from me...used to be 5 minutes) carries most of that too.. marshall, mesa, framus, diezel, H&K, groove tube, Genz Benz, THD, Badcat...everything except splawn, engl and bogner now that I think about it..lol...three things that I WANT to try!!!! I tried a couple of the badcat combos...I wasn't really impressed by them at all...the diezel sounded nice..but $4000 nice? um, no =) I didn't get a chance to try the framus combo or the H&K head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Genz Benz dealer in town but they only carry the bass stuff! I have an H & K dealer as well but once again only the cheapo stuff. I loved the hotcat 30 I played but it didn't do the metal stuff well enough for me and it's a two channel amp without a solo boost so that bothers me as well. The splawn has all the features I want and looks badass too, if they sound as good in person as the clips than i'm pretty sure I would be happy with one.

I was actually shocked to see all the high ticket stuff in that store! when I went there it was crate, mesa and that's pretty much it...lol...now it's like a haven for people seeking high priced, high gain amps that's what I like about the splawn too...half power, two overdrives, three input modes, clean, etc, etc...hope i'm not building this thing up to be something that it ain't..eek!

BTW, I think I posted this at the time but I actually think those b52 amps are really good for the money. I haven't played the st version but the one you had to me sounded just as good as a lot of the big boys. I played it through the stock B52 cab so i'm sure it would be even better through my gflex. Just like a bunch of others it didn't make me want to take it home but it definitely sounded way better than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a bunch of others it didn't make me want to take it home but it definitely sounded way better than I thought it would. I agree...for the money, you can't beat it as far as tube goes..I've gotten a few compliments on it...I get more enjoyment playing through this than I did with any of the other amps Iv'e ever had, that's for sure...that's why I don't wanna get rid of it...I'd take a huge hit for one thing and considering what I paid for it, it wouldn't put a dent in the splawn it probably would sound killer through your 4x12..sounds good through my 2x12...but mine's sitting on the floor...so it usually sounds best when I'm on the floor in front of it (I'm sure you've seen alotta people talk about putting these thigns and other 2x12's off the floor...something with the projection or some such)..but through a monster 4x12 like yours there would be no issues at all I'm sure... I still want the Quick Rod though..lol..nothin' wrong with havin 'a 6l6 and an el34 amp in the collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
