Found a matching Splawn 412 cab for my Quickrod 100. Has V30 on bottom and Creamback 65 on top. Wired for mono or stereo.

Anyone try the Tourgear Designs flat pedal cables? Looking to finally put my pedals on the board.

also…

This thing is amazing sounding. Maybe my fav MIAB of all the ones I own. Hopefully I can find some time to open it up today and try out the other tones. Only complaint… I wish companies would make the dip switches or varistors accessible from the outside.

Waiting to get the C-8 to see if I need new pickups for it. Looking at either a dual 85-8XH set or 81-8H/85-8XH set.

Otherwise I'm also looking to ditch some guitars to get me some Les Paul-y (or V or Explorer) deal for standard tuned thrashy chugga.

Need a quad of speakers for an empty '80 1960a I just traded some stuff for. Right now I have four 4x12's, all with mixed speakers: V30/Creamback 75, V30/G12K-100 frontloaded, V30/G12K-100 rearloaded, and Creamback 65/Creamback 75. I'm thinking either V30/Greenback or just straight V30 to try to climb back out of the rabbit hole of speaker mixing I've spent so much time in :lol:

Gonna try a PAF 7 in my SL7. The SD distortion seems so much more compressed than I remember the 6 being, no right hand dynamics.

Also, small stuff like neckplates and strap buttons for a few builds I have going. Picked up some Z-poxy too to try for grain filling on ash.

I haven't tried these but every molded rubber patch cable I've ever had has become a piece of trash. I like the switchcraft pancake jacks for my pedalboard, their only shortcoming is they won't double up if the jacks are close together such as stereo in/out on many pedals. My solution in these cases is to use one standard switchcraft 90° plug. Not optimal aesthetically, however, if the cable fails you can open the jacks and replace it assuming the jacks are still good. If any part of the plastic cable fails, it's 100% trash.

I hated how the SD distortion sounded even in a 6. It quacked like a duck no matter what I did.

There are a lot of cool strap button styles that are one-piece semi-locking that pop up on Amazon, they also seem to disappear fairly quickly. I've got one set that's got a large disc with a trapezoid cutout to slot the strap in, and another that's just about 1/8" wider than a standard strap button. I also replace the screws with nice, long ones (huhuhuh) to make sure I have a permanent hold. I don't like strap locks because I find that the moving parts always fail eventually. These don't have that problem, and stay "locked."

FWIW I love my Splawn 412 with the V30 bottom and Creamback 65 on top wired in stereo.

You don't think that mix would be too similar to the Creamback 65+75 mix I already have?

Yeah that's another combo I'm considering. I love Greenbacks but those 65's handle the chugs at high volumes a lot better. I was only leaning towards Greenbacks to mix it up a little compared to what I already have.

So I'm just browsing my local craigslist and facebook market place and I found an Engl Thunder 50 Combo for a super cheap price, And an Engl Screamer 50 Head, don't need it but it would be nice to have. Any info on these? Are they loud enough to gig? And are they capable of doing any tight Death Metal on their own? I would prefer the combo since it's a lot easier to lug around, plus I don't own a cab.

Had the Thunder - not sure about death metal, but I think it can.
No issue on loudness and/or cutting thourhg a mix. Also had KT88 installed in mine and it SLAYED with those.

all cool bro, I didn't take it serious, I'd buy your BCR Mockingbird if I had the funds for it (3 guitars in one year is a bit too much for me and I can't really justify it), that's a keeper in my opinion...

lol, Les Paul are definitely not my kind of guitar, but thanks for the suggestion! maybe when I'll be older, there was a time in my youth that I only saw LPs everywhere and thought "that's fucking boring"... today not so much, but not enough for me to get one, I'd faster grab the @TheBolivianSniper BCR Mockingbird...
