I wonder how the Splawn would sound with those in D tuning.  
Edit: What tubes do you have in it? |
I didn't order mine new. New there's an 8-10 week wait, costing $1950 or $2050 depending on the version you get, not including shipping. Their amps and cabs are fully customizable without an extra price tag.
Mine is all black with white piping and white control plate and grilles on the top and bottom, it doesn't have the plexi glass on the front like most of them do (which I think it looks ugly, but maybe that's just me
). Basically, it looks like an old Marshall, definitely a sleeper of an amp, looks killer with my 1960 cab, too bad I'm not too keen on the sound it produces with the G12T-75s
The one I have is the KT-77 version, but the old owner thought with the KT-77s, it had too much low-end so he put EL-34s in it. I can't imagine this thing having any more low-end than it does because it has a MASSIVE low-end, it was shaking things downstairs when my friend was playing it, with the volume on 2. The tubes in it are 4 Ruby EL34-BSTRs and all Shuguang 12AX7s in the preamp. Sounds awesome, very aggressive and tight sounding amp. The cleans on the amp are literally AMAZING, especially being an EL-34 amp.
If you decide to pick one up, I'd really recommend the EL-34/KT-77 version over the KT-88 one. You may find you like the KT-88s better, but the EL-34/KT-77 version can be easily modded to the KT-88 version by adding one resistor to the board, the KT-88 can not be modded to the EL-34/KT-77 version without much more modifications.
