Now that's pretty cool dude. I wish I had my 1st one back and the Nitro.
I got my 1st quickrod off a preacher who used it in church. :love: 100 watt tube head in church !

Right after I received the Marshall I ordered a 2003 Quickrod as well. I played it shortly and then sold it after my band broke up and I quit playing out but I kept my Marshall that I have had for many years. I don't regret getting Scott to rebuild it.
 
I have a QR and a Nitro. Both are killer amps. Need to roll some preamp tubes through the QR tho. I feel like it should have more gain.
 
I was an early(ish) adopter and had 5 Quickrod/Pro Mods between 2006-2017. Those early 4 preamp tube heads were special. The 2012 and 2014 didn’t seem the same to me. I’ve never tried a recent one with the switches but I have been thinking it’s time to “come home”. Maybe I can swing it later this year.

I have the latest QR 100 watt version with all the options and its a great sounding amp. Well built and sounds great at bedroom levels. Not expensive at all on the secondhand market.

How can you tell the latest version anyways?

'Latest' will have a loop volume control in the back - but that's been around awhile now. After that he offered additional options called 'new-old', 'mid-cut', and 'Drop B+ voltage'. So a fully loaded Quick Rod would have all 3 of those additions.

Current lead time is 8 weeks. Yes. 8 weeks.
 
Fantastic Amps. Just sold mine but I’m sure I’ll grab another.
 
I have yet to see a video of a "Fully Loaded" Quickrod demonstrating all the bells and whistles. Or are they that subtle one would not hear on a video?

Direct me to one if you know. Thanks.
 
No longer have my QR, but it was fully loaded.
Each mod changes tone especially the Mid cut.

The QR is my favorite amp on the planet and is the benchmark that I compare every amp to. GAS causes me to keep trying new things, but as soon as I A/B the flavor of the week to the Splawn, I ways just end up playing the Splawn.
