Scott makes Splawns about 45 minutes from my house. I've never been to the shop, but the amps sound amazing. I've heard several live and they kick ass.
I didnt need all the options as I sing and play. I only need one channel so I got a JCM 800 and I was always paranoid about gigging with the Splawn because it is so beautiful!!
I got a down and dirty Marshall JCM instead.
This way I don't have to punch a kid to death for putting a drink on my precious Splawn.
I did the same thing with a PRS. It was too bloody nice for me so I had to sell it.
