Splawn Amplification was founded by Scott Splawn in 2004 in Dallas, North Carolina. Scott had previously been selling guitars & doing repairs since 1996. He studied up on tube amps & repairs before modding his own Marshall amps to give them extra gain. This led to a business modding Marshall amps and eventually to full scale production of Splawn tube amplifiers in 2004. Splawn also offers electric guitars.
