New Splawn Amp - 40W Quickrod Combo

I've never even heard of them, so it's certainly unlikely.

 :lol:  Me neither, I've just been googling them -  apparently they make very high-end, very expensive, pedals and amps.  They don't even seem to have a website so they're truly "for those in the know".

Visual Sound have a bit of God-bothering on their website too.  

It doesn't really bother me, but I can't imagine a British outfit bringing their religious beliefs into the workplace in the same way.  Tony Blair excepted.

yes, it does seem to be a curiously american thing, and i don't mean that in any way to offend any americans.  although here in northern ireland you do get it too.  religeous zealots of any kind make me... uncomfortable

[dave_mc]

^ yeah, definitely in northern ireland. I don't mind people being religious, that's their prerogative. I don't like them bringing it into politics, or thinking that they can force you how to act.

That being said, I don't care less if scott splawn puts it inside his amps. If i didn't buy from everyone i disagreed with (not that i even disagree with his putting it inside his amps) on anything, I don't think I'd buy from anyone to be honest.

GB too. I've lost count of how many times "son of the manse" has been used.

Ahhh!! so that's where they get their Godly tone!!

Yeah, but I don't get the impression he lets it particularly influence his politics. 

Having said that, if he came out now and said the war in Afghanistan was decreed by The Lord* and we were going to start teaching Creationism in schools I don't think he'd get lambasted any more than he does every time he opens his mouth.

aye :lol:

If it had some kind of Devil worshiping scriptures inside their amps, that would kind of fitting but this god bothering bollocks on the other side of the pond is really isn't cricket. If you go to church, fine but why do things like that? It's a bit freaky.

I may have to pull my Koch apart to see if it has any...well god knows what inside it!

Mission Statement

... We give all the honor and glory back to the One who is fully responsible..

How the hell did it become Barack Obama's fault? :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nice one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well it was made near Amsterdam, so it might have a brass, or a spliff.  :lol:

I put dinosaur fossils inside mine to f*uck with the creationists  :lol:

[lulusg]

It does sound good!!!

Crikey, that mission statement really is something.... has quite put me off them actually! Not because i'm some kinda bible-hating chap (it's all neither here nor there with me... and i don't have enough time in the day for commitment to someone else!), but because it's far too overt, and now that company has an attachment that I wouldn't be particularly happy with being that strongly connected with. Real shame actually, as they've been near the top of my amp list for a good few years now! Ah well, at least the Mesa MKV has one less (cheaper) contender to deal with :)
