As always you have a big sound , The amp sounds excellent but I think 50% of the sound is in the guitarist's fingers and the knowledge of the settings BRAVO!
Thanks Bob! My drummer friend says the same thing regarding drums, like it's not that the "drums" sound good, it's the person playing the drums and how they hit them that make them sound that way. At least it's a big part of the whole thing. 🙏
I think the most accurate description would be if you took a 100 watt Marshall plexi and modified that to Scott's liking, you have the Splawn QuickRod. Then if you further modified that to have more gain/saturation and low end (more "modern"), you have the Nitro. I talked to Scott a while back and he was very honest and forthcoming about the history of the amp and how it all came to be. Basically he started by buying used plexis or 800 Marshalls, modifying them, and reselling them. They could be old ones or reissue ones. His demand exceeded what he could procure, then he basically became a Marshall distributor and would by those and modify those. Then he exceeded the demand that Marshall could produce and they raised the prices $1k or something. He knew that wouldn't fly, so he figured out how to basically makes his own plexi's, but modified, and sell those. That's the current line, but basically when you buy a Splawn you are buying a modified plexi, not a tweaked recto. It's a cool story.
It's below drummer level in this clip. It's sounds great at any volume. The best example I can give is this one where it's below the level of the guitar acoustically. Almost inaudible. One of the best things about the amp IMHO. ua-cam.com/video/iMI4LKB6cVU/v-deo.htmlsi=Cc2eUD2NfbzsdFro
Very cool! It's a very versatile amp! Well done!!!!
Great video Adam, thank you for sharing!
Love to hear "Fastway" Say what you will
Thank you again Adam! Never get enough of your demos and playing.
Thanks Joe! It's a fun amp to play and the SG just kind of worked for that stuff.
So cool!

You Rock man
Playing Sin City with that thing must have been awesome!
It was fun! But they were all really fun to play too.

Would it be fair to say the Nitro is a combination of a dual rectifier and a JCM800?

@@AdamGotheridge thanks for sharing your insight! Very cool story.
Is it manageable at bedroom level?
