Here you go!



Jackson DK2M (MIJ) SD JB/59. The Promod is boosted with a BB-Pre and the QR with a CMATMODS Super Signa Drive. The cab is a Burch Carvin cab loaded with vented English T75's. The Promod has EHX KT88 and the QR has new production Tung Sol EL34. All preamp tubes are JJ. They just work well. I am using a radial Engineering Headbone VT to go back and forth. The Audio was a Ride Videomic into a DSLR.

Playing is a little sloppy. I had some issues with the editing and will post follow up video that is better soon.
 
I have a QR and preferred it here as well. Do you have the bass up at 1:00'ish? I keep mine at 9:00 but dial it in for the mix and 80's and 90's tones. Probably too bright for some.

The bass is a little higher. I think it dialed in best with the cab there.
 
Nice playing in there dude. Is that that resonance on the Pro Mod that is cranked up? And Treble on '0'? Or what are you settings?
 
The resonance is higher. Treble at zero, lots of presence, miss pretty much dimed. The bass is around 1 o'clock
 
I know how much can be lost in the digisphere, but I am a die-hard Splawn player - I’ve owned 4 total and currently have a fully loaded 50 watt QR and a 50 watt fully loaded Nitro. And I’ve got to believe there are better tones in these heads.
 
This is my current 50 watt Nitro, ‘Old’ voicing, Mid switch engaged, gain at noon, no boost - plugged straight in, EQ Dispatch master (delay + verb) in the loop, 65 watt creambacks. This is literally an iPhone pointed at the cab. Zero processing.
