Thanks everyone for the replies and great detailed information. I have spent some time with a fully loaded Quick Rod 100 recently and I am very impressed and surprised by a few things. I really like Gears 1&2 in OD1. I thought I would immediately go right for OD2 and right to 3rd gear and...
Sorry, I think Napalm answered this in an earlier post but what about a newer Quick Rod (2017) fully loaded with the B+ switch vs the Competition? About the same as far as the gain channel?
I haven’t been able to find a Competition yet but I did come across a Nitro with EL34s. Would that amp get close or is it a completely different thing altogether?
Agree, I have the 5153 6L6 combo now and I also had the 50 watt stealth at the same time and I prefer the combo so I got rid of the stealth. I have had the 6l6 head in the past and still think the combo wins for me overall
Thanks for that perspective from someone who has owned both, now I just have to find one. I think I am indifferent on the mid cut & old/new switch. I read that Scott doesn’t do updates on used amps anymore?
I have been interested in picking up a newer Splawn Competition. I have a Ceriatone Molecular and I am wondering if there would be a lot of overlap between the two amps? I have read alot of threads that Splawns are tight and some consider stiff and less forgiving. My other amp is an EVH 5150...
I run my FM3 4CM with my amps without any issues. Leon Todd has a video with the 4CM method and presets that allow you to use the Axe amps as preamps in one preset and effects only pre & post in the other. I have gone back and forth and A/B a real Sd-1 in front of the amp vs the Axe Super OD...
Probably somewhat unrelated to your question but I did replace the G12H30s in my EVH 2x12 with the EVH Greenbacks and I think it sounds a lot better. I have owned the EVH 4x12 in the past and wouldn’t see the need to mix with G12H30s. Lastly, I have not liked the G12H30s whenever I have had...
I just tried one listing on Facebook Marketplace for the first time a few weeks ago, and it’s been a mess. I’ve had a few of what appeared to be serious buyers only to have them try to pull some shady stuff right before we are supposed to meet up for the sale to try to get the price lower.
I have a 2020 Goldtop 50s standard. I’ve had it up for sale and taken it down because the more I play it the more it grows on me. I go back and forth on if it would be worth it to “upgrade” to a custom shop R7-R0. I have found I am not that picky about the necks as I thought I would be, I...
How close or not so close is the Molecular component wise from the Atomica?
I am really just looking for it to be a bit more aggressive when the clipping diodes are not engaged and I can add a boost/overdrive. I have tried an SD-1 with it but also want to try the Friedman Golden Pearl. The...
Thanks for the reply, what are your thoughts on using a lower value like a 440pf, 560pf, or 750pf in place of the 2200pf? Also, how many different trimmer adjustments are in the circuit?
I picked up a Ceriatone Molecular 50 watt amp about a month ago. It is an awesome amp but I am wondering if some simple mods would make it even better. The edge switch to the right just isn’t very usable, to the left is awesome. Am I reading the schematic correctly that the bright cap to the...
2020 Gibson Les Paul 50s Standard Goldtop. I would call it mint, plastic still on the pickguard, but it has been played very little only at home. It weighs approximately 9.7 lbs on the bathroom scale. $2400 local pickup in the Nashville area or willing to drive a reasonable distance. I am open...
