    Quikrod eq test

    I knew about the treble zero thing. I was messing with that when I found this. Only thing is i keep the presence low with treble zero. If i turn presence up it adds a blanket effect. I know that sounds weird but i don't hear it adding highs until it is turned way up. That goes for treble at...

    Quikrod eq test

    Mines a 2021. I play on old mode. Old setting has chewier mids and smoother highs. I keep the gain low and hit with a clean boost for higher gain. I use a boss ms3 clean boost, not sure what they modeled it after. For other songs I use an sd1. Sometimes a big muff into an sd1. It's always taken...

    Speaker Outputs and Impedance...

    And yes about the half power. If you are running 16ohm load set your amp to 8 if at half power. 8 ohm cabs set to 4 ohm in amp 4 ohm cabs would be a no go Scott told me same with the half power switch too. Treat it as if you're pulling tubes. There's not a big volume difference in half...

    Quikrod eq test

    I was messing with settings today and came across something I'd like to see if your quikrods do too. I did this pretty loud Gain 10oclock. volume 9oclock.mids 11oclock. Presence 9oclock. No loop master. If I turn the bass to maxed out and the treble off....as I slowly turn up treble to full...

    Splawn Quickrod 2014 with V30?

    I liked mine with v30s. Im currently running greenback and v30 mix but for no reason. I had no problem with the v30s just got bored.

    Speaker Outputs and Impedance...

    Hold on. Daisy chaining to another cabinet could be parallel. Most of my cabinets are labeled parallel inputs. I always check with a voltmeter. Hook everything up and the cable that would go into your amp leave out and take a reading. Black on sleeve, red on tip. The amps 2 jacks are always...

    Taming the Bass in My Splawn Comp

    It's inside yeah. Once I got it where I wanted it I never touched it again. It doesn't effect gear 1 or 3. Just gear 2. I've never heard a noticeable difference between tube brands. The only reason the mullards made a huge difference is because I am certain the original PS vanes were damaged...

    Mesa vertical 2X12 with V30s and Splawn?

    I use the mid switch on with my v30s and off with my greenbacks. Sounds great.

    Taming the Bass in My Splawn Comp

    THIS ?. the bass can get out of hand quickly. I did a slight mod to gear 2. I Put a variable resistor trim pot inside to fiddle with til it sounded right. Gear 1 and 2 now have similar bass response. I must say the biggest change I've heard is new power tubes. The stock psvanes flashed one day...

    Quikrod vs. Bogner Shiva help

    I'm not trading but I am selling the Bogner. I prefer the Splawn much more.

    Quikrod vs. Bogner Shiva help

    It's not the SE. He is willing to throw in a 200 case with it. After playing both amps over and over again I really can't make up my mind. I don't think I'm going to trade I like them both. I feel like I can get a guitar anytime. These amps aren't as easy to come by.

    Quikrod vs. Bogner Shiva help

    It's more compressed. The Splawn cleans up way better. I actually find the Splawn easier to play

    Fave Boosts For Splawn - Go

    All of em. Micro amp is cool cus it doesn't cut bass for leads. Big muffs can make the Splawn sing , scoops out the highs and sustains forever. I've been using the boss ms3 and every OD on there sounds good

    Quikrod vs. Bogner Shiva help

    I've been playing the quick rod as my main amp for almost a year now.i finally got the hang of the EQ. Bass low at indoor shows. I recently picked up a Shiva 20th anniversary. This amp rips too but a different flavor. The Splawn can get a little brittle sometimes where the Shiva is bright but...

    Modded my quikrod today

    He put in a variable resistor with a relay that foot switches it in and out. This is right where all the different resistors are that make the different modes in the circuit. We couldn't figure out what resistor would do what I wanted so he added a variable one such like you would see in a bias...

    Old/new switch mod?

    Yeah switching from new to old definitely requires different EQ. I thought I was sold on just playing on new but I was messing around today and I am really digging the old setting. It's a much fuller sound. I think you would really dig gear one on the old setting. These new quick rods are really...

    Old/new switch mod?

    Hmm This might be tough. Old has a more saturated gain for sure and the sound is beefier and less present. It sounds like the mids might be getting more gain like a chewier mid range. New has less bass and has a much brighter open airy sound. I would say new is more in line with a marshall. Such...

    Old/new switch mod?

    I talked to him today. He didn't even notice my old new switch when he had my amp so hes not sure. I just looked in mine since I had it open anyway and I can see where it's going but I lose it on the chipboard because all the tracing is on the back side and I don't want to take it all apart. I...

    Modded my quikrod today

    I couldn't agree with mrflexx anymore. I used the boss SD1 into the front end of a plexi and ran the pedal exactly how you just said. I thought it sounded so much better than pushing the amp over the top. I've reduced gain quite a bit over the years I noticed I go for more clarity now. I have...
