Sounds really good! I can tell the gain is tight and focused. I can also tell that it would sound the same, but richer and fatter, at band rehearsal levels. Those are great amps!

Kickin butt!!
Isn't it amazing how well they sound at low volume? From your earlier pics it looks like your settings are really close to how I run mine. I can't believe how much girth is retained at bedroom levels.
Back in about '87 I was living in LA and a friend and I went on a search for the ultimate modded marshall. We tried to track down Jose Arrendondo (sp?)....yeah right. Went to SIR in search of the famous Lynch/KISS/Slash head. Played a few Jackson modded heads and finally ended up talking to Frank Levi at SIR and played a few amps. His favorite was a early seventies, can't remember the model, head he had modded for Warren Dimartini. It was out on tour but he called us a few months later when it was in the shop. Out of all the heads we tried this was the one. It didn't have the gain of the Jackson heads but the midrange girth, oomph, sparkle and just sheer TONE, blew everything else away.
Now 15+ years later I feel like I've got that same tone but with more gain on tap and tons more versatility. Thanks for the clip and hope your enjoying yours as much as I am mine. Cheers! :beerchug:

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
thanks man =) appreciate it..I can't wait to be able to crank it up..actually, alotta guys on the splawn boards use alesis midiverbs in the loop....even with the FX all the way off, they use it to crank the master and regulate the volume with the alesis....so you can get how it should really sound, just without blowing the paint off the walls..hehe...so I'm lookin' into a few of them on ebay...

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
you have a quick rod as well? NICE!
that head of dimartini's you're talkin' about..is that the one that Lynch used to try to make off with all the time? he used to call it the magic head that warren had..lol..
as far as gain goes...this was on gear two overdrive one....it has more gain than you could ever need..and what's great is that it's pretty much all useable...not like some other tube amps I've had (which shall remain nameless so I don't offend anyone..lol) where if you turned the gain past noon they would just fart out on ya..

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
If I remember right the Lynch head was owned by SIR and was actually in studio with KISS while we were at SIR. Not that we could have gotten near it. Even then they knew what they had. The Demartini head was one he owned and had modded by Frank Levi. Would have loved to AB it with the Lynch head. LOL
Of course back then all I wanted was gain so I wasn't as impressed by the Levi mod as I would be now. But I remember the sweetness of it. IMO the Splawns are pretty much the ultimate modded marshall, especially for something you can purchase stock.

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
would be awesome to get our hands on some of that old gear..where all the classic tones came from! =D
I think the splawns sound like marshalls probably should sound...lol....just my opinion
and they're really not THAT bad pricewise, all things considered...

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
I do that trick with my heads too. I like the Alesis Nanoverb the best, especially on my Jubilee. I just dial in a very subtle reverb, keep the input at the edge of green/red sensitivity, and use the output as a secondary master volume. It makes it so I can extract more juice out of the amp, while still maintaining an acceptable volume.
On my Bogner, it has it's own send/return knobs, so I use an EH Holy Grail, which doesn't have input/output knobs. It adds just a touch of air, but I mostly use it as a way to control volume.
You can get a used Nanoverb for around $65, and it's nice and small, and won't scratch up the top of your head like a big rack unit w/ears.

Re: crappy quality quick rod clip
nanoverb eh? there alotta differences between that an the midiverb? I know someone else who used a quadroverb (I think that's the one) to do the same thing...
I had someone on harmony central willing to sell me a midiverb 3 for 75 shipped...maybe I shoulda went with that..hrmm....
