in snake skin haha. so far i like it. its has the newer clean channel. not sure what the differnce is from it and the old one. it has KT77's. its the first time i have used them. i think they sound pretty good. compared to the uberschall. its not anywhere as mean but does blues and lower gain stuff alot better. and it does get pretty mean. i still have to tweak the settings but so far i like it. the 3 gears come in handy along with the switchable od's. the solo boost is a cool feature as well. it lets the tone of my guitar and pickups come through alot more than the bogner or either of the new marshalls i owned did. now i just have to get better so my mistakes dont come through as much.

Re: just got a splawn quickrod

nothing really the uber was a great amp. but for most of the stuff i play it was alittle too much. it was great for metal and the cleans were good. but it was the in between that i just couldnt get. and for the type of metal tone i do like i was told that i would have probably rather had one of the first 2 versions over the 3rd. the 3rd didnt have as much bottom end and they changed the gain structure. they did model the clean tone from the xtc though. so that part was good. but with me one day i will be playing my schecter tuned down a whole step then the next i will break out a tele or something for blues. and i couldnt afford to have 2 different amps. so i could get all the tones i want. i marshall has been one of my favorite amp compaines for a few years now. but none of their new stuff worked out for me. and i havent heard anything but good about splawn so i figured why not.

Congrats. :) Snakeskin, woah! Are you getting a matching cab? It's definately not a "rip your face off" sound, it's a juiced up Marshall sound which is really cool. It's also incredibly responsive to your guitar's volume control, you can go from edge of breakup to pretty hot lead with a half turn of your volume.

Was it off of ebay?
