Blues City is proud to introduce the Splawn guitar amplifier and cabinet product line to you, our valued customer. We delayed adding any other amplifier to our premiere line, of Soldano products; due to the fact that we just didn’t see an additional amp that we wanted to sell, much less play ourselves. At Blues City Music, we play what we sell, and wouldn’t think of doing otherwise.

Splawn is a small company owned by Scott Splawn and located in Dallas, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. He started his business tweaking British style amps, moved into “hot rodding” Marshall amps, and then for the last number of years, he has perfected his own amp with it’s own unique tone and look, but unseen in the “Marshallesque” vein of guitar amplification. He DOES NOT use any kits, nor does he buy parts from Marshall. He has developed his own amp with proprietary parts including Heyboer Transformers, and is very proud of the way they have turned out thanks to very stringent quality control, fit, finish, construction, custom options, and most importantly tone and customer service.

If you would like to check out some really wild and custom options with Splawn while doing your research for a new amp, visit their website at www.splawnguitars.com, find what you like, and then contact us to set up your custom order. You will also find many different audio files for each amp as well as warranty, FAQ’s, and owner’s manuals.

The following products will be our initial revolving inventory and we will be adjusting/adding to it as we see where our market goes, but if you would like to order something that you do not see, or if we are temporarily out of stock with an item, we would be more than happy to do that for you.

For those customers unsure about output tube choice, the Mullard EL 34 is classic “Plexi Marshall” style tone, with the Mullard EL 34b’s being slightly hotter and a great middle of the road tube, and finally, the JJ KT 88 is a much more aggressive and over the top heavy sounding tube which has all the gain you would ever desire.

We are offering several styles of head cabinets from the original “Plexi” style to the Pro Mod cabinet. If you would like the Quick Rod cabinet, it is only slightly different from the “Plexi” cabinet in that it doesn’t have piping from front to back on the top and bottom of the cabinet.

AMPLIFIERS

1 - Nitro – 100 watt head, JJ KT 88 output tubes, black tolex, Super Stock "V" head cabinet, gold grilles, knobs and panels. Price is $2,050.00.

1 - Pro Mod – 120 watt head, JJ KT 88 output tubes, black Pro Mod cabinet, silver piping, control panel, and top/rear vents, silver knobs, and black mesh panel insert. Price is $2,050.00.

Nitro If you are a modern day player such as "lamb of god", "Dragon Force" etc, that want a tremendous amount of bottom end, gain, and scooped mids, then this amp is for you. It is not a classic rock or 80's metal amp perse'. It can do it, but not near as well as it can replicate the modern tones you hear today. This amp is a very good seller for Splawn, so get one when you can.   Pro Mod The Pro Mod head has a clean channel with an independent EQ as well as a Rhythm/Lead channel with a solo boost, 3 position mode switch on the overdrive channel, effects loop, half power switch, and 3 position footswitch with LED’s. The mode switch voicing gives you 3 gears just like the Quick Rod, but instead of Plexi, JCM 800, JCM 800 hot rodded, the Pro Mod will step it up a bit and give you first gear closer to a JCM 800, 2nd gear to a JCM 800 hot rodded, and 3rd gear a step above that. You can still play classic rock and 80's metal no problem, but it will give you a little more bottom end and scoop the mids a little more than a Quick Rod.
