It's been a while since I posted something. i've been to busy moving. Anyway, this question mostly goes out to Shredder and Craig. First, you guys are the reason for me buying a Splawn in the first place. Second, i love your guys' tone!!! The videos from the both of you, just inspired me more to play. Now for the big  i know that the PM's have to be turned up a little louder to get the tubes to break up. But, I noticed that your tones are similar in comparission. I can't seem to get it. The only way I can get it is by throughing my Boss SDO in front. My settings on the OD are very conservitive. Tone is 0. level is 11:00 and gain is between 10 and 11:00. As far as the gain setting on the PM, it's at between 1 and 2:00. Now, when I bought the amp, (pawn shop in Texas) no foot switch. Could it be set to OD1? The tubes aren't the best of shape (mismatched pairs). I find it that I have to SLAM the strings to get them to really ring out. I play custom BC Richs' with EMG's, set up for 18 volts. Seeing you guys play, it looks like your not fighting, but flowing.  |

Mismatched tubes tells me bias is probably off. tubes running too cold will not sound warm and you will have to crank it up to get the sound to " warm up" If it was me, I would have the amp checked and new set of tubes put in.
ya prob need footswitch to get OD-2.

it might very well be on OD-1 man..that could be part of the problem right there...and thanks for the props, dude! in fact, if you're running the gain that high and still having to put a pedal in front of it, I bet ya it is on OD-1.. scott can get ya a footpedal! also, listen to hacksaw..he knows a thing or two about amps  |

You're definitely on OD1 if you're having to run a pedal in front of the amp. I play through single coils most of the time and on OD2 it's a cake walk.

I switch between humbuckers and single coils. What can I say? I'm a big fan of the single coil pickup. I've got van zandt's in my Gold strat. They're the warmest p/ups I've ever heard. Plus they're double wound and are pretty hot p/ups. They make the Van Zandt, Vintage, Blues and Rock. Of course I have the rock pick ups. Kind of like Dimarzio's HS-3.
