I had gotten my first Splawn Creamback loaded 2x12 in November and had ordered a second one back in December. Celestion was on backorder with the Creambacks and then Namm hit so there was a bit of a delay in getting my second cab. It showed up yesterday so that was awesome. I got the amp on Monday. This is my first time even playing a Dual Rec so I was a bit nervous.

Verdict ... loving it so far. Anyway, here's a few pics.








Any suggestions on dialing in tones? This shipped with 6L6's.

nice rig, I so want two 2x12s

Needs el34s stat, trust me.

I got mine a few months back, but I admittedly haven't spent all that much time messing with the controls. I guess I got a great sound right off the bat, and dialed it in a little, and left good enough alone for now. I will say this, I like the orange channel the best.

I have it set on "spongy", tube rectifier, and the orange channel set on "vintage". Presence, Master, Bass, and Mid are all hovering around noon, gain at about 2 o'clock, and Treble at 1 o'clock. Of course, this is going through a Peavey Butcher 4x12 cab with G12K85s, so it's going to sound totally different through those 2x12s.

i love it

I gotta try this. Can I just throw any matched set in, or do I have to buy a set of Mesa tubes that are spec'd for the Rectifier?

I don't think it will hurt the amp or tubes because mesas are cold biased. Might not sound as good as nice matched set, but it can't hurt much AFAIK

nice HNRD

I adore checkerboard grille cloth. Love the rig, bro.

HNRD!!! Not a fan of Rectos, but I REALLY want to try those Creambacks.

i wish i could parlay my roadcased 412 into two 212s.

Cut it in half with a saw and bam, two open back 2x12s.

No, use a steak knife.

No way man. A saw gives you a rougher tone and a butter knife with smooth the tone. No room for the steak knife.

I may try EL34's at some point. Want to get the real "lay of the land" first before dicking with it too much. I am very impressed with how good it sounds with the 2x12's.

I can't believe it's not butter

Love these speakers.


I need some Tuki covers for the cabs though, or road cases. I am not a fan of "mojo'd" equipment.
