Hi guys,
I am looking for a "hot-rodded JCM800" voiced, smaller sized 50W head for tight and bright high gain sounds (old school Thrash Metal). Currently I am considering two options I would like to get some opinions on:
1. Friedman Runt 50W
2. Splawn Super Sport EL34 50W
I am a little bit concerned that the Friedman might be too dark/congested and under-saturated, but I guess my Maxon OD808X boost could compensate that. The Splawn should have more gain, but I have read that it can sound a little bit weird because it's much more dynamic, less compressed than most other high gain amps. There seems to be the option for an "Old/New" switch on the Super Sport, but I coulnd't find any information about it. Does anyone know what it does?
