even with the bass below 10:00. I am using it at full power with the volume at 9:00. I have my effects processor in the loop and I use the output knob to control the overall volume. Any suggestions to get rid of the womf without removing all bass from the tone?

Does this happen when the loop is not in use?

That's a good question, usually I don't play with the loop bypassed. However, if I do bypass the loop I wouldn't have the channel volume up so high, since I control the volume with my effects processor in the loop. So I would think that the bass wouldn't resonate so much. Next time I go to my practice space I'll have to experiment.

What speakers and tuning are you using? It effects how your cab is going to react to the Nitro's huge low mid growl. I had to go through a few different speakers to find two models that didn't fart or whoof at gigging and recording volumes.

Snappingnecks, I'm using SB25s and I tune to Eb Standard and Drop C#. I am also using a PRS custom 24 which tends to be dark.

I had this problem too... I found it to be an issue with the cab/speakers for me. Any speakers less than 100 watts couldn't handle the punishing low end.

Hey fastredponycar, did you find it worse before or after the switch to KT88s?

My Lp custom is a muddy, woomfy mess with my Nitro. My EB SuperSport is absolute heaven though. Non of that boxy, nasty tone with the EB. It makes no sense to me but I figure Scott designs these amps and plays his very 80's non LP guitars through them. My PRS Singlecut is little better than the LP but boxy nonetheless. |

I gotta try it out with my more "trebley guitars" like my EBMM and my Ibanez S540 LTD (both with Motor City Pickups) and I'll report back. My PRS is pretty dark and bassy to begin with but it is my #1 guitar and I love it.

It is your speakers. Like FRPC told you the Nitro doesn't like speakers rated at less than 100 watts. I have a Splawn 4X12 loaded with Govs and it makes them fart out past 8:30 on the volume. I also have a cab loaded with Texas heats and I can turn the volume past noon and they still take all the Nitro can give them. The Govs are 75 watts the Heats are 150 watts. Now if you are ONLY in standard the speakers you have are fine. If you play in drop giving the tone more grunt then it will fart out. I play in drop B and really had to do some searching to find a speaker or speakers that will handle it. I want to try Green Machines when I get some extra cash to get a couple.

You guys crack me up. You can't use speakers of certain types, can't use speakers rated less than 100W, shouldn't use certain tubes, shouldn't use certain guitars, etc. It's almost like your painting an ad for why not to buy a Nitro with all the responses. The Nitro has a lot of low end. If it's too much, toss an EQ in the loop, pull out some sub-lows...there ya go...  |

Im not trying to write an advertisement. Im just trying to solve a problem. Thats what forums are for. Splawn amps as well as Splawn users are not perfect either. Also, I find an MXR eq to sound awful in a Nitro but thats just me.

Also, I find an MXR eq to sound awful in a Nitro but thats just me. You guys just keep adding to the list...now add "sounds bad with an EQ in the loop." No one is trying to write an ad, but I'm saying as the posts keep coming in, you guys are basically painting the Nitro in a pretty bad light. If you were trying to decide if an amp is for you, and you started reading on the forum that Amp X sounds woomfy in the lows...and people started saying you shouldn't use LP's or certain guitars with it, they had to try multiple speakers to find something that didn't fart out with it, you should use certain tubes, it doesn't handle speakers less than 100W (which lets face it, is the majority of speakers), if you tune your guitars lower than X you might have probs with certain speakers, it sounds bad with an EQ in the loop, etc...what would think of that amp? That's all I'm saying, don't be so negative. I'm sure there's a resolution other than telling him the only way to not get woomfy lows is play the amp only on the third Tues of each month during a full moon...(<- That's sarcasm, BTW)  |

I've played through the NItro on more than one occasion. I've never found the tone to be "woomfy" or anything like that. Get rid of the effects processor you're running with it and see what that does to it. Could be something on the patch you're using from the f/x processor that's messing with your tone. Those things do alot of suckage and destruction to your tone.
You're playing that into a Splawn 2/12 with SB25's. That's a perfect combo. If it's woomfy it's gotta be coming from something else. It's not your tuning cause everyone was tuned to Eb at the convention. We were all playing through the SB25's also. Process of elimination might lead to the processor causing probs in your loop. I don't know?? Just an idea.
