It has small block 25's in it...I was told they are perfect with the QR

It will sound great with those speakers.
I'm confused though. If your SLP sounds that killer, why get rid of it? I'm a Splawn dealer and really dig the Quickrod but man, if something is working for you I don't know why you'd sell it and hope the next amp you've never played is as good.

The SLP is awesome for what it is, but for my band its almost impossible to use due to the fact it is a one channel with no f/x loop.

Every Splawn Ive played has been more compressed than your typical Superlead... But thats not to say, its overly compressed and nasty. Just moreso, if you know what I mean. And they definintely have more gain.
But I hear what you're saying about the PPIMV having plenty of gain. On my Superbass, with a humbucker, I get tons of it. With my LP, I dont even need a boost! If I didnt need to roll back for cleans, Id crank the Volume I knob and never used a boost with my Strat.

Ok... Splawn vs. my '71 SL
Splawn:
Tighter, gainier, mids are more modern. It's hard to describe. The amp sounds more polished to me.
Super Lead:
Looser low-end. Not in a bad way, but it's more of a classic-rock low-end. Mushier, think VH. You can't palm mute like you can on a Splawn. The mids are raw and maybe more nasally. Also, not in a bad way but it has different mids. Obviously less gain. The Super Lead is alot more raw and classic-sounding.
If I were to compare a Splawn to any Marshall, tone-wise, it's much closer to a great 2203 than to a Super Lead. Picture a great 2203 with alot more gain, less ice-pick and a smoother presence. Yeah also a tighter, bigger low-end.
I find my QR to not be bright at all. But that's probably because I use GB's.

having heard your SL in comparison I'd say this is pretty accurate
