I think Im gonna order a Mini Splawn Competition 50..

[311boogieman]

Scott sold me one at the old price, I ordered it this AM. He's even going to try to do 3-4 weeks. It's expensive, but it's one of my favorite amps of all time, and the mini will sit nicely on top of my 2 Friedman 1x12's for a little stack.

Good on you man. Fully loaded? What tolex style?

Splawn amps are killer. I love mine!

Yup, Scott must have JUST increased it from $1800 to $1900; I was on the website in the last 7-10 and it was definitely still $1800.

I've got a 2015 Loaded Mini Comp, 19" headshell, and it smokes. I had a well-known 100w boutique brand as the same time and the Splawn just cut a bit better and was nearly as full in the punch and thickness...at 50w.

Recently, I've had other amps come and go and at times want to change some things in the Splawn, so i recently tried a 10-band eq in the loop of the Splawn and was able to tweak what I like and don't.

I'll put it this way... My wife knows my amps pretty well; she loves the Ground Zero Hellion. She's not heard me play the Splawn in a while. Last week was the first time I opened up the Comp in a while (Front volume at 9:00) and she was upstairs. After playing it for 5 minutes she came runnding down and said, "WTF are you playing, did you buy a new amp and not tell me??" ...She looked and saw the Splawn was on and just gave me a nod of approval and went back upstairs. Later that night she said how badass it sounded and asked why I didn't play it at gigs...I play the GZ mostly as it's my fave, but the Comp is just a beast.

I think the loaded Comp, mini headshell if that's your thing, at $1900 is great value compared to many other amps new on the market that are 2+ times the price; gotta factor that in.

This story is so fucking awesome!!

Yeah, they're all fully loaded as standard. I got the Plexi style like the full sized I had. I've had 2 Competitions. I like single channel and love both gear 1 and 2. Never used 3, it's overkill.

Don’t sell it this time …

Just go ahead and call dibs now.

If I could do it all over again I think I would get a Competition too. The clean channel of the Quick Rod is really nice but I just don't use it. And $1,800/$1,900 is super affordable imo. Cool that he worked something out for you. I don't use Gear 3 either.

What is the shipping cost to FL for the smaller 50w comp?

 

[thiscalltoarms]

Splawn is one of those companies I’ve always meant to get one, but the stars haven’t aligned. Can’t wait to hear how it goes…

That`s how I've been running my Competiton lately , two 1x12s with Greenbacks stacked. Sounds killer and nice n loud

Yeah I've got the 65 watt Creambacks.

Can’t argue with that, if it’s one of your favorites, it’s worth it.
