Another thing I've heard is that the Quickrods (and most Splawns in fact) are picky about the speakers, so they may sound only decent through one cab, and astounding through another.
Clip sounds quite cool though. I wonder what it would be like in a more hard rock or loud-as-shit AC/DC kind of tone setting.
The Splawn I played was essentially an idealized Marshall, so I didn't expect a lot of low-end punch or tightness. I thought the one I played sounded fantastic. Good for "regular" metal, but I wouldn't use it in place of a 5150 or Recto.
I loved it for what it was, but it was definitely more of a hard rock or classic metal amp. I tried it out at Division rehearsal a couple of times, and Mike's Triple swallowed it.
my buddy has one and it is very "cab sensitive".
He loves it, but he says he needs to crank it thru a hotplate to get the most out of it.
He also uses a 10 band EQ in the loop.
Well, the clip impressed me.
Nice job.
I thought it sounded great, and I plan on getting a newer quickrod someday. Just not right now.
I must admit I'm more into the classic metal tones more than the current high gain djent sounds a lot of guys are after these days.
So, maybe that's why the quickrod really appeals to me. Guess I'm just old school. Really just plain old!:rofl:
That's what is great about today.
There are so many choices in guitars, amps and other gear these days that one can really dial in their setup to their personal preferences.
