Hell yeah man! Sounds killer

If you're unsure, I would recommend picking one up used from a forum user or reverb even. At least you won't have to eat the depreciation if you're not happy with it. I haven't played a Nitro, but my quickrod is badass. That probably also depends on the kind of music you play. Best of luck!

I know this is an old post. (Sorry I'm not on here much) but I figured I would update. I ended up going with a Splawn Quickrod. All I have to say is HOLY SHIT. This thing has some balls compared to the DSL. Also way more usable gain. Plenty of gain for even modern metal imo, especially with a...

sounds good man!

What do you like about the 6550 tubes over el34?

Absolutely! any sort of input is helpful. Have you been able to compare it with el34 counterparts?

I've wanted a quickrod for about a decade now, and I'm finally in a financial spot to pull the trigger on something. Just curious if anybody has tried a quickrod with 6550 tubes and how it differs from el34s in that amp. Wondering if it opens up the highs a bit?

My philosophy has always been "if it sounds good it works" I think it can help if you struggle writing progressions, but in the end who really cares

I would also go with the DSL1 head

I would love to try a Wizard, but I'm scared for my wallet that I'll like it too much :ROFLMAO:

I have a buddy that owns one and it sounds great! Endless tweakability and lots of fun

pretty impressed with the new ubers I must say. Would be cool to see a comparison to an older one
