I really like the "no talk" thing...to the chagrin of 100,000 other demo videos on KZfaq. Although I have to say I do appreciate your vocal reviews as well. Your "5 Blackmore Riffs" was great. This allows you to cover a lot of ground in a condensed version.

Soldano is awesome, but I would give that accolade of OG progenator to Randall Smith of Mesa Boogie.

@@0megalul309 The original Boogies are the Mark series amps....which came way before the Soldano. I am guessing you mean the Rectifier. Yes, the preamp is very similar to that of an SLO, but the power amp, which contributes greatly to an amps tone, headroom and feel is very different to the SLO.
@SluggerStark 3 жыл бұрын
@@0megalul309 No problem, that is kinda what I thought. I can definitely hear the SLO lineage in the older revision Rectos. The Rev G's, Mesa's final 2 channel recto revision, to me doesn't really sound or feel like a Soldano anymore. But yes, all the modern, high headroom super gainers: Recto, 5150, Uberschall, etc all can trace their lineage to the mighty SLO!

@Leon Todd One day talking with Nuno Bettencourt I asked him how he got that very unique tone while in the studio for 3 sides and recording "Stop The World" and he told me he actually didn't use the ADA MP-1,he used a certain model of Soldano. Great for us "Tone Chasers" We had a good time eating pizza and talking shop.

I bought my Soldano hot rod 50 about two months ago. It's used so I replaced the pre amp tubes. Incredible. Every guitar has it's own personality through the amp. All the gain you need and fierce tone. Great video.

@@LeonTodd I put a Friedman BE-OD in front of it using the low channel and it is 1980's. RATT, Van Halen, early Boston,..you can adjust the trim on the friedman inside the back and tune the distortion where you want it. I set the trim at 3 o'clock for that early Van Halen sound. You get the variact Marshall plexi tone Ed got. I also use the 1960VT cab. Great sound.

Leon, have you recorded many Ragdoll tunes with that wonderful amp? To me that amp has that perfect 80s kind of "Brown sound" to it, I love it! I also love the sheer simplicity of the layout but it barks when cranked.
@LeonTodd 4 жыл бұрын
It's the amp I used on our old "Early Days Live" album from 2011 and it's used in bits and pieces across all the studio recordings, with the exception of the latest singles.

How does the hot rod differ from the SLO models?
@LaDrouille64 3 жыл бұрын
The hot rod is more of a hot rodded version of a JMP by Mike Soldano. The SLO is a different beast, less agressive, smoother and creamier but raw at the same Time. It has a lot more bass freq too
