Re: Splawn Owners?
Ive got a pair of Splawns - a QR and a Nitro - and I cannot say enough good things about them. Both are 50 watt / fully loaded versions with the mid cut and old/new switch. The Nitro is a bit overkill because 3rd Gear in the QR with the ‘new’ voicing and the mid-cut switch engaged will get you about 99% of the way into Nitro territory. To me, the Nitro is like a QR with the drive channel set permanently to 3rd gear. My ‘desert island’ amp would be a fully loaded QR. There just isn’t a sound you cannot find with it. People say they are not known for their clean channel, but I find the clean to be absolutely ‘functional’ - particularly if you do add some chorus and verb through the loop. I love how the amp is so articulate and maintains such great string separation even at really high gain settings. If your chops are ‘so-so’ the QR won’t do you any favors. Bit if your chops are dialed in, you will sound like a God through a Splawn.
