    Street Rod faceplant! D'oh!!

    So, had a gig on Saturday, was loading in, had my StreetRod combo and matching cab with casters on the sidewalk in front of the gig, went to my car (10 feet away) to get something and watched in slow motion horror as the whole stack did a faceplant for some reason on the sidewalk! I forgot my...

    OD1/OD2 change more noticeable with higher gain settings?

    So I bumped up my gain from 1:00 to 2:30ish and like it better, more sustain (duh!) and a little thicker which I like. I did this long ago, for some reason backed down to 1:00. Anyway, it seems that there's more of a difference when switching between OD1 and OD2 when the gain is higher...

    What loop level do you use? +4 or -10

    So I was doing some tonal experiments (wife loves those... Not!) see the solo boost/OD2 thread... While doing so though I noticed that the +4 loop setting sounds quieter and a little better than the -10 setting that I've been using forever. Hmm... Wondering what you guys use and what you've...

    Solo boost engages OD2?

    So I've heard mixed opinions on this. Is this a Quickrod specific thing? Doesn't seem like it goes to OD2 when I hit the boost on my Streetrod...

    Duncan Saturday Night Specials? (Quickrod content...)

    Saw this vid of a guy demoing a QuckRod: He's got a Duncan SNS in his guitar (only has a bridge pickup). It reminds me of the Gibson twang... kinda like a 57 but cheaper and comes with 4 conductor! I'm really liking that tone. Anybody ever tried these pickups? Other videos also sound...

    Splawns used by big name bands?!

    OK, I know Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) and Michel Sweet (Stryper and friends) have used Quickrods but I just found out that Jesse Triplett of Collective Soul uses one too! Any other big name users of Splawns that you can think of?

    Fast delay vs reverb... try this!

    So I was having a discussion with the guitarist from my old band, talking effects. I use a Wampler Ethereal for ambient delay (about 300ms) and reverb, sounds really good. But he was saying the secret sauce in his old rig was to have a delay set very fast with one repeat, like 80ms or less...

    Tube layout in the Competition

    So I'm in a discussion on FB with a guy who has a Competition and we're all discussing preamp tubes. I was wondering what the tube layout is for the Competition. In the QuickRod/Street Rod V1 is the Clean channel primarily, V2 and V3 are primarily for the dirty channel and V4 is the phase...

    Solo boost?

    OK, so several Splawn variations have the solo boost feature which does work great if... you're boosting the dirty channel and you've got the dirty channel volume down below 10:00. I was wondering if those of you who have the solo boost option use something else for a solo boost? I just...

    Splawn versatility

    OK, I swear I saw a posting on here somewhere on here asking about the versatility of Splawns but now I can't find it to respond, may have been somewhere else. Anyway, the thread said something about everybody doing Van Halen style sounds in Splawn clips (and Splawns do that *really* well) but...
