80s metal crunch tone (Splawn)

To get a hot 80s metal tone from my Splawn amp, I like to turn the bass way down, almost off, for a real chewy, edgy, modded Plexi kinda sound. Most people I know with Splawn amps want enormous bass in their tone and keep adding more, but that's not what I hear on my favorite records, particularly rock and metal albums from the 80s and 90s. *shrug*

...Been watching a few of your videos for the first time & I gotta say as a player myself (35 years in the Derringer/Lukeather mode) I can tell you got a great tone & a great feel to your soloing style. You don't repeat memorized licks, you know theory. You even have a few guitar setups much like my own. Great use of notes both fast & slow...no overkill on shred & the best part...your vibrato is just like mine. You're a great player & I'd pay to see you (on tour) anytime.

@YallSuckTheBig1 Every time I get an email telling me I have one of these comments, I think it's going to be an angry teen telling me how awful I am. Makes me appreciate your sincere compliments even more! Thank you. It's like fuel.

Get some videos up. I came looking for the big vibrato.

buy some lacquer!!!!!!

@Jst0911 Heh. It's Fender's satin nitro finish. I like it. It wears shiny where you touch the guitar and stays matte everywhere else.

Badass Chopper will sound great in the neck of my Strat. Thanks for the demo! I just need to decide for a mid position to pair and tame the nasty X2N I hv in the Bridge.
