The Splawn not doing it for you any more ?

Does the Hurricane have enough gain for you ?

Splawn is a mighty amp and has a great tone little too "hard rock" for me.. my tastes are just becoming more refined to smoother darker tones hence the Hurricane.. It does honestly lack a smidgen of gain but driven to hell and back and cranked it sounds astoundingly meaty!!

Could chew on it's face!

I used to have one and regret selling it, I reckon it would sound good with an TS808 or similar in front.

Have you ever tried the Hellcat, I would love to know how the 2 compare.

Good luck with it, 1x12 combos are cool

Luckily my other half supported my purchase too, even though it is bigger than my last amp. I was having doubts about spending that much cash when, but she said "how would you feel if you wlaked out of the shop without it?" to which I replied "pretty depressed" so she said "well just buy it then!" I suppose it wasn't like I hadn't saved the cash

Muso it just nails the mid 80s shred stuff so well.. Sounds like Lynch to me a lot!.. Bit of a one trick pony, but what a trick eh? although it's plexi tones are incredible aswell and it cleans up fantastic.

Just the Cornford is such a sweet amp.
