I have never played a Quikrod or a Splawn before I got the Nitro. Let me just say that I am seriously thinking of getting another one to run the Kt77s instead of El34s and a different cab on it, so I can a/b/y them. If you like the Marshall tones, this kicks it up a few notches and then some.
I have been through a few amps in the last few years and this is at the top for me. It's a beast. And the cleans are really freakin' good for a high gain channel switcher. This amp really blows me away.
As a matter of fact, if anyone wants to trade a Nitro for my Engl Invader 100, PM me.
