My wife is still mad that I sold my Splawn Quickrod years ago. I can always get another one though.

The one I miss most is the '84 2203 I bought from a buddy for $250 exactly 15 years ago to the day and only kept it for a couple months because I was stupid.

I think this would be really cool to mess around with for a lot of those blended 80s rock sounds. Satch, Lynch, MacAlpine, ZZ Top, Def Lepp, etc. I have a pretty decent Rockman profile on my Kemper, but I'd prefer: 1) Pedal format 2) Reasonably priced 3) New $230 seems not the worst (what one websit...

Oh snap - I guess I didn't realize the Origin 20 was a big bottle amp. That does change my opinion now lol. Thanks for the info.

Save thousands and get a cheap Marshall modded. https://youtu.be/sojfzEMU1gY While I agree that modding a cheaper amp can give you some really good tones for a fraction of the cost of a new amp, a 20 watter just can't compete that well with 50 or 100 watters in the 'fullness' category. Personal exp...

Yeah I agree. They have an edge that other Friedman amps don't. The Runt is probably the amp that came the closest to being a number one for me in place of the DSL :lol: I actually used it for a whole year and only went back because I missed the 100w power section. If they had a Runt 100 it would b...

I've owned both, and really like both. Friedman is more the style I gravitate towards, but there's also something special about the slightly nasally quality that Splawn amps have. They cut through like a knife, but I've found they have a more limited speaker selection they play nice with. V30s are a...

Congrats on a badass amp. I stupidly sold mine only after owning it for a few months, but let me tell you - perfect amount of gain when it's dimed. Nice raw edge to it as well that I think lacks on the BE100. These sound great with basically any speaker you throw at it, but I have been liking the st...

If you like the Archon, have you thought about the MT-100 Tremonti sig? I don't know how well it can do mid gain stuff, but I think for the price they're killer if you're into the high gain stuff.

serious suggestion, what about the jet city hand wired amps? Didnt you get one of those 800 when they first made them and like it? Cant beat the price. YeahI had one. It was ok but I wasn't too impressed with it. I think with a few upgrades it could be a great amp though. I LOVE the Soldano designe...

Bogner 3534. I think you could live very comfortably on the Blue channel.
Carvin Legacy III - I know you rocked the OG Carvin pretty hard back in the day, have you tried the 3?
Shiva? needs to be cranked to deliver the goods
I'd almost recommend Splawn but I think that's a little outside your style.
