This isn't a real question, because the boost is doing very different things depending on where you put it.
Up front it's going to be a gain boost
In the loop it's going to be a volume boost
Etc
Agreed, while your vid doesn't sounds bad by any means, I dont think it's exactly representative of the amp, either.
IME its a lot more high-endy and aggressive, with a bit of a loose low end - like I said, great for tracking leads.
I enjoy splawn amps in general, but just to add my two cents as I've had this conversation with multiple guitarists who've had a similar experience.
Most splawns are weird for me EQ wise, but the nitro is the weirdest. That's just personal preference - many people sound great on a Nitro...
Oh man, you're in for a treat when you get your Larry, if tight is your thing, they have the reputation for a reason.
The only Tone Specific humbuckers I've played were the blues set, and obviously they weren't ideal for what I'm going for. Hopefully they will release this custom set of yours!

Just want to say if anyone is on the edge about one, JUST DO IT
These things sound phenomenally good, and normally I'm kind of a strymon hater
I generally don't have any use for smaller cabs, at least for high gain amps, either - that's why I asked the question.
I already have the very nice red plate 4x12, as well as very nice homemade 1x12 with a 55hz scumback that I use for my 93 matchless Clubman
It just seems like it would make...
I get really good results with UK v30s in my red plate and the Larry, so you're right, it's probably a good idea to leave it as is.
The real question is would the fat bottom 2x12 with fanes do the trick, or do I need to go for the 4x12?
I'm going to need another dedicated "Larry cab"...
I've been hemming and hawing about reloading my redplate 4x12 with the h75ld/h55 combo - that's what Jim recommended to me, anyways.
Got any clips of that cab?
Quite often, when I'm not making demo songs with it, I snuggle up with my Larry on a bearskin rug, in front of a roaring hearth
And actually, the first time I played a Dino could pretty accurately be described as a religious experience.
So, more than "almost spiritual" ๐
They are a seething cascade of bloom and harmonics.
I will never be able to go back to another amp - there was an initial adjustment period, but now my Larry has become bonded with me in a synergistic relationship ๐
I can't imagine using ANYTHING else for high gain, anymore. At least for my...
