Splawn Quick Rod Gear 2 & 3 NAM Capture Pack

Hot-Rodded British Aggression

The Tonecast Splawn Quick Rod Gear 2 & 3 NAM Capture Pack delivers the tight attack, aggressive midrange, and hot-rodded British character associated with the Quick Rod platform.

Built from carefully dialed-in Fractal Audio FM9 Spawn Q-Rod models, this pack focuses specifically on Gear 2 and Gear 3, giving you five distinct high-gain tones ranging from big, open rhythm crunch to an extremely tight boosted modern-metal sound.

Every capture is amp-only, allowing you to pair it with the included mix-ready IRs or your own favorite cabinets.

5 Premium NAM Captures

🔥 G2 THICK

Gear 2 / OD1

Big, woody and punchy with more open dynamics and less compression. Designed for thick rhythm guitars, hard rock, groove metal and layered tracks where you want plenty of body.

🔥 G2 HOT

Gear 2 / OD2

A more aggressive version of Gear 2 with additional bite, gain and attack while retaining the amp's strong midrange character.

Great for chunky rhythm playing and aggressive hard rock or metal.

⚡ G3 TIGHT

Gear 3 / OD1

The main unboosted modern-metal capture.

Tighter lows, faster pick response and excellent string separation make this a great choice for palm-muted riffs, low tunings and dense mixes.

⚡ G3 HIGH

Gear 3 / OD2

More saturation and sustain while maintaining definition.

Designed for heavier rhythm tones, leads and players who want the aggression of Gear 3 with additional gain and compression.

⚡ G3 BOOST

Gear 3 + Maxon-Style Boost

The most aggressive capture in the pack.

A Maxon-style overdrive is used in front of the amp to reduce low-end flub, increase pick attack and produce an extremely fast, percussive response.

This is the flagship capture for modern death metal, groove metal, thrash and low-tuned extreme metal.

Includes 5 Premium Mix-Ready IRs

Instead of hundreds of nearly identical cabinet files, the pack includes five carefully voiced IRs designed to cover the most useful applications for the captures.

🎤 MARA Balanced

Balanced British-style 4×12 character with controlled lows, strong mids and smooth upper frequencies.

🎤 MARA Fat

More low-mid weight and body for thicker rhythm guitars and lower tunings.

🎤 MARB Modern

A tighter, more aggressive modern 4×12 voicing with focused mids and excellent palm-mute definition.

🎤 MARB Cut

Additional upper-mid presence designed to help guitars cut through dense metal mixes.

🎤 Hybrid 57/121

A studio-style blended cabinet tone combining attack, body and smoothness for a polished mix-ready sound.

Why It Sounds Different

Each Tonecast capture is built using a controlled reamping and capture workflow designed to preserve the feel, dynamics and response of the source tone.

The capture process includes:

• ✅ Precision gain staging
• ✅ Careful level matching
• ✅ Multiple validation passes
• ✅ No cabinet baked into the NAM captures
• ✅ No unnecessary post-EQ or compression
• ✅ Individually tuned gain structures
• ✅ Capture settings optimized for pick response and clarity
• ✅ Neural Amp Modeler capture process

The goal isn't simply more gain.

Each capture is intentionally voiced to provide a different playing feel and purpose, giving you a useful progression of tones rather than five minor variations of the same sound.

Built for Heavy Guitar

The Quick Rod Gear 2 & 3 Pack is especially suited for:

• Modern Metal
• Groove Metal
• Death Metal
• Thrash Metal
• Metalcore
• Progressive Metal
• Hard Rock
• Low-tuned guitars
• Double-tracked rhythm guitars
• Recording
• Rehearsal
• Live rigs

The G3 TIGHT and G3 BOOST captures are specifically designed for players looking for the tight, aggressive and percussive response required for modern metal.

Amp-Only Captures

No cabinet simulation is baked into the NAM files.

That means you can use:

NAM Capture → Included IR

or

NAM Capture → Your Favorite IR

This gives you considerably more flexibility than a full-rig capture and allows the same amp tone to work with many different cabinet and microphone combinations.
