Splawn Owners Thread

[SFW]

Since we were talking about this in the pedal forum, I figured that it was time to make this happen. Here is my 2005 Splawn ProMod. It’s been converted to EL34s, which basically makes it a QuickRod at this point. Love this amp. Everything I wanted a Marshallesq amp to be.

Thanks for starting this thread.

Here’s mine, 2008 Quickrod.

Splawns aren't really a thing on this side of the pond. Damn, you Yankees get all the fun stuff.
They're mostly hot-rodded Marshalls, right? Are they like Friedmans?

And here’s mine.
I’ve posted this pic already but it’s the only one still in my phone.

2012 LP Standard
Port City OS 2x12 cab with a Splawn Small block/Celestion G12T-75 combo. Spectacular.

Yes, they are hot rodded Marshall-like.
But they really have a voice all their own.

They are similar to Friedman amps in that they are hot rod Marshall style amps. The biggest difference is that you can get a fully loaded Splawn for half the price of a Friedman.

I've always wanted one of these. The frigging midrange that these things have. WOW.

Did you see them live or a YouTube clip?
If it was YouTube, post it here...I’d love to check it out.

Re: Splawn Owners Thread

Nice timing on this... I just saw Oath of Cruelty on Saturday, and one of their guitarists was using a Pro Stock. His tone was absolutely unbelievable, awesome midrange growl that was both menacing and had incredible clarity.

I really don't need another amp, but if I stumbled into a couple thousand dollars, it'd be damn hard for me to not spend it on a Splawn.

Re: Splawn Owners Thread

I've got a Fully Loaded 50 Watt QR and a Fully Loaded 50 Watt Nitro. The Mid Cut/Boost and the Old/New Voicing switches make the amps incredibly versatile. FWIW, if you cut the mids and use the new voicing in 3rd Gear OD-2 on the QR, you are basically playing a Nitro. I realistically do not need the Nitro, but it does have a slightly different thing going on. I would put the build quality and sound of Splawn up against any 'boutique' amp any day. Not to saym they will blow everybody's skirt up, but they are really well made and sound incredible.

Re: Splawn Owners Thread

I have been missing my splawn a lot lately. I still kick myself for getting rid of it one day I will own another.

AH..... I was thinking someone here had a snakeskin Splawn..

Re: Splawn Owners Thread

What pedals/processors/effects do you guys use with your Splawns? The funny thing is that I’ve always got a pedalboard (big or small) connected when I’m playing my Fender or Victory. With my Mesa I usually have something, delay/reverb, some sort of overdrive. When I play the Splawn, I hardly have anything connected other than maybe a Wah. I guess that’s a sign I like the amp... I do wish it had the updated clean channel though....
