Splawn Pro Mod clip - Metal

[sosomething]

This is a quick 1-riff clip recorded with a Splawn Pro Mod through a Splawn 4x12 cabinet. The cab has Emi Governers and Man O Wars in an X pattern - this clip is one of the Man O Wars close-mic'd on axis with a SM57 and then double-tracked.

Thanks Shreder! Aren't those cabs great? I've never had a better-sounding cab, and for under $800 for an all-US-made cabinet it sort of feels like cheating.

You can't help it if you love your rig. I completely understand. My constant amp quest (in which I burned through about four different high-gain tube heads in about a year) ENDED when I got my Pro Mod and 4x12. It's the first rig I've ever owned that sounds "right" to me every time I power it up.

I hadn't thought about posting this on HC. Probably will, though.

If I had EQ'd the track even a little you wouldn't hear any sponginess - I didn't have a lot of time to do the clip because band rehearsal was about to start, so I just kind of threw it together to a click track and made the drums later.

Thanks, btw!

Re: Splawn Pro Mod clip - Metal

Yeah that's an EQ thing ... I used very little bass on my stereo and couldn't tell anything spongy...

Does this amp use KT88?

Good guess - yes it does. It came stock with JJ's KT88s but I recently retubed it with SED tubes and I like it a bit more - still super tight but a bit warmer in the mids.

Re: Splawn Pro Mod clip - Metal

No I was wondering why it is modern sounding and took a look at the splawn homepage....
Bob at eurotubes suggested me KT88s btw but that's another story...

What guitar and PUs used? No overdrive I guess?

No OD. I used a vintage SG Junior with a P-90 in the bridge straight into the amp. KT88s are the bomb.
