These amps are indeed interesting.
I have two questions:
1. How to decide whether I need a QuickRod or ProMod? Are the tubes the only difference? Can I change a QR to run on KT88s to become a PM?
2. The switching options. How many sounds can you actually switch? Can you for example switch from clean to drive channel, and then on drive channel between the 3 gears? This is a little confusing on the Splawn site...
Indeed, 1,700$ + shipping + customs/VAT bring you in the range of other interesting amps, but these really seem to be special. If they do Bogner Ecstacy Classic, then they're less than 1/2 the price.
