I didn't buy it for that, but it was a nice surprise! The clean channel is pretty good as well. I feel that the other gears will come in handy since I do like all kinds of rock/hard rock music, and I also play out with friends who like many different styles.

I mainly stay in first gear since I love that hot rod plexi sound from the 70s, and it does a great job at classic rock. It has three 'gears'.the first gear being hot rod Plexi, the second is hot rod JCM 800, and the third is super hot rod JCM 800. With so many different builders out there and not having the access to try before I buy, I did what most of us do.roll the dice! And of course watch tons of clips on YouTube

I was looking for a do it all Marshall style amp for a while. I found a mint 2015 model upgraded to a Celestion Creamback. To answer your question, no it's not his version of that, but yea it might appeal to some of the same people who'd love 5150's.After a long search for a 'Plexi and more' style amp, I went for the Splawn Street Rod combo. The Nitro I'm sure is unreal for fullness if someone is using drop-tunings or more than 6 strings also. I know there aren't many SuperComp's out there, but I can't believe way more people wouldn't love them, especially if they found most Marshall-types too bright, etc.

I owned a really nice originial 5150 at 1 time and it was nice, and there's obviously many great bands who've used them, but the SuperComp is just really great sounding and has the gigging features, (great fx loop, different tones footswitchable, and variable solo boost,etc). Anyway, I'd take the Super-Comp any day over a 5150. It's basically his 1 channel smaller version of the Nitro, similar to how my Comp head is the 1 channel smaller version of the Quick Rod. I don't have the Nitro but do have a Super-Comp full sized 50 watt head. SO, as you know on the other forum, I have a few Splawns.
