How effective is that newer fx loop volume? Does it make the Splawn usable at lower volumes (loud tv volumes)? I had a pre-update Splawn previously and it went from shitty raspy crap to loud :lol: :LOL:
 
From what I understand... yes it's a huge improvement over the old loop.

Yes...
see if you can get the specifics on the mod.
 
I don't think it's much more than a volume pot on the loop jack. Fastredponycar had a vid on Youtube showing how he did it.
 
It makes a big difference if you need to play at lower volumes. The Splawn is a brutally loud amp so much needed. I love mine.
 
One of those 20 dollar volume boxes off Ebay will yield the same results. Or a volume pedal.

Yes...

in good time my friend..in good time
 
there's an easy way to see which works best...well for those that have the the loop master on the newer versions...kill the volume with the loop master way down...see how that sounds...

then bring the loop master up to unity level, put something like a suck knob or a volume pedal in the loop then crush it to about the same volume and see how that sounds...

I've been using the 'loop volume trick' for years..generally with the input output knobs on my intellifex...and I've used the suck knob as well so I can use a pedal for low volume playing...it does work..you just have to bring up presence and treble to bring back the high register bite that squashing the volume in this way takes away..but it's useful if you want the schmoe without having to crank the volume..

however, I'd be very interested to hear what the ones with the built in loop sound like set up in a similar way..last time I was at the shop this feature wasn't on the amp yet
 
Scott put a volume knob on my loop when I sent my '08 QR to him for a repair. It really makes low volume playing easy compared to leaving the master on 1/2.

Of course, if you have any FX unit, you can get the same result by using it in the loop and lowering the output level on the unit.
