Another thing to note is that is a little fussy with speakers, but not as bad as some of my other Splawns. The Smallblocks are my favorite speakers to pair with Splawns, they just work so well. I have heard a lot of people like cream backs with Splawns, but I have not tried that.
If you were...
I have the 22 watt 6V6 Supersport and absolutely love it. I have not tried the EL34 SS, but I do have a QR, PM, and Nitro so I can get my head in the ballpark.
I played a runt a while back and enjoyed it. Which is awesome as I don't honestly have a whole lot of experience with Friedman.
For...
Here you go!
Jackson DK2M (MIJ) SD JB/59. The Promod is boosted with a BB-Pre and the QR with a CMATMODS Super Signa Drive. The cab is a Burch Carvin cab loaded with vented English T75's. The Promod has EHX KT88 and the QR has new production Tung Sol EL34. All preamp tubes are JJ. They just...
I have 10. I started buying them up when the tsunami tore Japan up. I got a DK2M for $150, DKMG's for $200 etc. All are pro series, all have either OFR or Gotoh. All have FU-Tone Big Brass Blocks in them. Probably the best guitar you can get for the money without question.
Deals are still out...
I love MIJ Jacksons. I have an arsenal of them. Probably by far the best bang for the buck after you swap the tremolo out for a OFR.
Never been impressed with the MIC/Indo/etc. I understand that you are looking for a new model but I would dig deep and see if you can find a MIJ from yesteryear...
SLO for me (not owned) was a letdown in comparison to the hype when I was 18 and I first played on one for a few days. I have played a lot more amps since then and played a SLO way more times since then, it still honestly does not live up to the hype. Is it a great sounding amp? YES. Definitely...
Hell yeah! I love those speakers.
I do wish I had a horizontal 2x12 over the vertical though. Regardless they are a killer cab. From the Supersport to the Nitro, PM QR, they all kill with it. If I could land a Splawn cab local, I would jump on another in a second flat. Especially a 4x12...
I like the sound and feel of my KT88 Nitro a lot better. I feel it's more balanced and the upper bite is more normal and that from the clip you posted, I find that the bass is more natural and rounded than the EL34 although I realize that what I am saying is contradiction to normal aspects of...
I love their cable
Probably literally 500' at my shop/studio. I solder my own with switchraft plugs. I use the CA-0446 for everything, and the beefy speaker cable for amps.
Quick, friendly and great stuff and service. Can't beat them IMO. Especially quality for bulk cable dollrr per dollar.
I have read through this and thought about a response. I don't think there is a a 'master of all.' I have cabs that I like and love and it's all about the speakers and how it behaves with the amp.
I have redone my area over the past month and have 11 fully setup and fully configured rigs. I...
