Finally did some tracking w/my Quick Rod ...

[JerEvil]

Here's my first stab at tracking with my 2013 Splawn Quick Rod. It is the low B+ version. To be fair this is NOT the normal Rig Talk fair. More pop punk influenced. I think I may be one of the only punk guys on the Splawn roster! LOL!

2 tracks, one hard left one hard right using my PRS SC245 loaded with PRS 57/08 buckers. I generally record with my AMT preamps (R1/P1) into my interface direct but really wanted to try getting the Splawn down.

This is Gear 2, OD 2. These are basically scratch tracks but I think it sounds promising. This is a new song I am working out for my band Cherry 2000.

Here's the settings.


Anywho …

Sounds great!

Sounds great!

Right on! Thanks.

Yup...sounds excellent. Splawns record really easy. I mean, just throw a damn mic in front of it and you are good.

Well I guess I should let the cat outta the bag then.

I am running a Behringer UltraG between my cab and head. Using the XLR out into my recording interface and using ReCabinet 3 for cab IR's.

The volume on the amp was "conversational level". Unfortunately I don't have cool neighbors and low volume or silent rescording is what I'm left with. I'd love to mic it up proper. Used a Greenback and Bogner cab on the left and Greenback and Orange cab on the right.

Literally spent about an hour tracking and futzing with a quick mix for reference but for $30 that Behringer works really well.

Good call!!! That is way cool! I record my 5150III with the line out, but Splawns don't have that...what a great option.

You can use the "fx send" but this sounds way better. I assume because with the fx send you are not getting any of the power amp coloring the signal.

$30 for the Behringer, $30 for ReCabinet and you've got, IMHO, a solid low volume direct recording set up using your own amp.

Nice sound! I love my QR, really wish it had the B+ option but it's still a ripping amp.

Thanks! Hands down, my favorite amp I've owned over the last 2+ decades of playing.

Sounds awesome! I'm going to check out the ultra g.

I dig it. I'm a huge fan of this sort of music dating back to my middle school days discovering the Ramones.

Nice! Glad you dig it. Some shameless self promotion here:

We are kind of a mash up of Ramones, Misfits, Vandals, Dickies and Offspring

Lots of silly potty humor mixed with a little death and gore but served in a catchy type of sound.

I do all the recording myself. I am no pro but get stuff to a point where I'm happy to release. All tracks can be downloaded free.

All the stuff posted is using:
• AMT R1/P1 preamps (Recto/5150 pedal sized Jfet preamps)
• ReCabinet 3 for IR's (cab sim)
• Steven Slate Platinum 4 (drums)
• Studio Devil Bass Pro (bass amp sim)

Going forward I'll be using the Splawn for sure.

 

[Badronald]

That sounds great.
You're definitely on the right track.

 

[GtarLover]

Nicely done, guitars sound great.

Can't wait to hear the finished product, great job brother!!

Nice. All that music is what I think "fun" sounds like.
