I've had the Ax8 since it first came out. I currently gig mainly with my Splawn Competition, and have 3 Splawns (no Quick Rod though) . I've found my programming of the Splawn was 1 of my favorites on the ax8. My favorite though was the Atomica. I did NOT even come close to using stock...

That went on my early Street Rod too.. I screwed up the repair, but luckily a local tech fixed it easily :) Glad you were able to do it. Very cheap fix Eric

I have 1 (different knobs though) that I bought straight from Ossie. . I'd sell it for 200.00 if anyone was interested, but couldn't ship til after Memorial Day Weekend. I have wayyyyyy too much gear. It sounds great into a power amp (definitely best played loud, or really killer into my Nux...

No kidding, I'll see if mine has the vent. I used to have G12-80's with the Vent also. Thanks for the info Eric

I still have 1 of those Marshall Vintage Speakers. Love them. They preceeded the V30 if I remember right? I'm all set too, but I'm gonna keep that one! Eric

Hey if I was you I'd stick with those ultimate cabinets you have and not worry about any more! lol... I'm going to sell a few of mine as although I collected them for years, I just tend to use the same ones at all my gigs. I definitely wasn't insinuating Naylor was screwing anyone either...

So yea your slants/speakers were different than mine.. . Off topic, but I can't help but to have noticed the 2021 Naylor sd60 in your signature as incoming.. Is this really still incoming? It's been awhile right? Keep in mind I got my 30 watter blackback slant in about 1980-1981. I was...

There's also 55 hz , and 75hz H magnet (30 watter) Blackbacks and M magnet, 25 watters. . Mine were the 30 watters , 75hz. Eric

Is this a 4x12? Are the handles plastic or metal? My handles in my 70's Marshall 4x12 ended up rattling since they were plastic and old, and I needed to replace. Also make sure it's definitely not a dirty jack. Other than that, if definitely the speakers, you'll have to isolate and...

Not my experience, but 1 Blackback doesn't equal another Blackback. . .I had 4 30 watt Blackbacks in my late 70's Marshall 4x12, and they were absolutely great at all volumes but too bright for me. Of course I could hear back then. . haha. . I got it in the mid 80's probably and ended up...

I just went here to post the same thing. Thanks for posting it ahead of me :) Eric

To be honest, it didn't matter if the EQ was in front of the amp, or in the fx loop (for eq'ing) If someone wanted to use it for a solo boost, it definitely needs to be in a loop, but all my Splawns have the best solo boost feature already. I'd just experiment and see what works best for...

Well I followed up this 'experiment' today with my Mini Competition and it acted totally differently than the Super Comp. As I bring the VOL up from scratch, it retains the SAME tone, whereas the SUper Comp's lo-end/resonance takes over that sweet hi-end that's at up to 8:00. I did find I can...

I have 3 Splawns (no Quick Rod) . I had read your post last week, and thought to myself I don't ever play that low-volume with mine, and I have no clue what he's talking about, but tonight for fun I played my SuperComp (it's a 50 watter with el34's) at low volumes . At first when you crack the...

I'm sooo impressed by you guys who can build amps. . If this was your first amp you've built , man it doesn't look like you picked anything easy!!! I'd LOVE to heard it in action. Post clips please! Eric
