Man every time I hear you digging into Dogman is so great. Such a beast of a riff!

Man I love the Soldano sound so much but the versatility of the Ceriatone is amazing and it also sounds killer. Great video and most excellent playing my friend

I love your guitars and amps man you have some killer stuff. Really great content too.

There’s also a nice chewyness in the gain structure with the molecular! Love it

Damn listening to you play on these iconic authentic tube Amps makes me appreciate just how amazing the Axe Fx 3 is. Close enough for the girls I date.

Fine demonstration and explanation of your favs! Enjoyed them both as well! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon!

I absolutely LOVE that Molecular!!! So much so I ordered one myself. That Soldano sounds amazing but the Molecular is a bit more versatile and really is exactly what I'm looking for. Kudos for including the negative feedback control! That was one of my favorite parameters on the axefx too. Cant wait until mine arrives!

Medium gain Soldano is my second favorite tone. First being Angus-level Plexi. Both just do it for me. I'm constantly dabbling with others, but always come back to that Plexi crunch. Your SLO preset for Amplifire is so awesome.

awesome tones and playing :)

Im essentially a Mesa Marshall guy. I think your amp choices are what put me here as a sub. Both your amps here are really great sounding. Soldano would be my 3rd choice of tones.

Refreshing seeing you play real amps... a nice break from the Axe stuff 👍

I'm just loving that guitar. Loving the amps too, but that guitar. 😍😍😍😍

I've long known how great that Soprano is but the Ceriatone Molecular wasn't in my radar at all. WOW, that amp rocks! Great demo Leon.....now I want one. LOL!

Great feature!

The Soldano has more low end ooomph and it's a super recognizable sound, but sounds a lil fizzy in the high freq. On the other end the Molecular sounds more balanced and articulate, less muddy. I love both! Need to hear them in stereo!

Killer amps Leon !!!!

Both amps are outrageous. The Soldano is beyond juicy, it's wet with anticipation.

Nice sound!!!!

Wow L pretty killer tones. The Soldano SLO100 is a bucket list amp for me , like the Mezzabarba MZero or pretty much any Divided By 13 amp. Great video! Also loved the Hamer Standard.....I sure miss the one I had.

Leon love your new intro.. Kick ass brother...

Love the molecular!!!

Love my SLO. Love this vid!

Man that Ceriatone rocks! Thanks

Great to see that one come down off the wall and get some love. The Ragdoll riffs are excellent. Both of those amps sound mean through Greenbacks. You’ve been to the doctor, and gave blood. Dizzying.

The Soldano sounds good, but the Molecular sounds amazing. I pulled the trigger on the 100 watt model with your 50 watt specifications. Love your videos by the way.

Both sound great, but just something about a soldano that I love. The second amp does have the Brown sound in spades..

You could basically play everything with both of these amps!

Haven't even watched the video, but I know this is gonna be fun.

Who doesn't want a soldano ? I do .. but I would settle for a molecular any day of the year .. price wise you can't beat it .. the Molecular is a beast of an amp ..

You have to do a giveaway. With the Soldano. And with me as only participant. Hahah, joking aside the tone of the HR50+ is just so gorgeous, unbelievable.

Ceriatone ... amazing . I want that same one .... badly !

Love em both!!... Would love another amp appreciation with the VM!! 😉

The Soldano Amp sounds really amazing. Even Eddie Van Halen used in the past, simple like that. Thanks for sharing! Best Regards!

omg stack 'em already!

It's just amazing how many awesome amps came out of the Marshall designs. Soldano I guess atrted with a Marshall as well. Amazing amps. I so wish Marshall didn't get sold like they did. One can hope they will return strong someday.

Nice Hamer! I had an Explorer autographed by Rick Nielsen for a while in the mid '90s, and two different Specials. I wish I still had the second one....

Dude ? I don’t know who the hell you are , but You just sold me on dsl , now I’m with you on this other thing (? ) that sounded perfect , the look on your face with that is exactly why I’m still geeking , so much POWER at your finger tips!

Both sounding great here. This video just shows how important speaker, box, mic and mic placement really are. The amps dont sound that different with the same box, mic and mic position. The feel and how amps react to tweaking of gain and eq is probably something else. Great vid again!

Did I hear a snippet of Dogman from King's X? I believe that I did. King's X was the band most responsible for getting me through the '90s. Absolutely killer amps, BTW. I'm really digging the Ceriatone Molecular. 😎

A BIG thumbs up just for showing some HAMER USA love!

That Molecular!!!

An explorer never gets old😀

Awesome as always Leon👍 when I saw the title of this vid I thought “Yes someone is finally doing an amp blending demo”😔. Both those amps are killa man 👍 would love to hear them blended on a track , just for shits and giggles chuck in your Mesa for the trifecta, hahaha .

Really enjoyed the video. If you can will you do a video on the EVH Stealth? Thanks👍

Hi. I have a Soldano Hot Rod Avenger 50 . Amazing amp .

We need to see this Soldano Vs your Mesa!

Call me crazy, but I prefer the Ceriatone Molecular over the Soldano. I like the bit of sag and push back it gives you. It makes you want to dig in when you want to and makes you play more dynamically. The Soldano is awesome for sure, if you are into a stiffer more linear feel. To me the Molecular just sounds more “3D” if that makes any sense. I can only imagine how it “feels” when actually playing it. Maybe a bit of confirmation bias for me because I just ordered a Chupacabra 100 and I can’t wait for that beast to get here. Quite a bit of a wait time though.

Never realized how much fur the Soldano had on the higher-gain stuff. The Ceriatone actually sounded more “solid” to me in that sense.

Awesome video Leon.. can the Molecular do a straight up JCM tone or does it still sound a bit modded Marshall? I really want an Authentic, old school, 80s hard rock and metal JCM tone. Having the extra features would be a bonus but it is more important to me to get an authentic JCM tone.

Can’t say anything bad about either of these monsters, especially the molecular given it’s price point and outrageous versatility - but as far as brown sound amps go, I just can’t get over how the 5150 style amps growl - hope you get the chance to demo the peavey invective as some point - those things are unreal for just about any genre under the sun

The Cameron Atomica clone (Molecular) for the win!

That duncan ev-haitch sounds great

@ Leon is everything in your Molecular stock as ordered form Ceriatone? Have the transformers or anything been changed? These are incredible sounding amps. Got a Sub!

That Soldano sounds awesome - BUT, with the master up that loud, it would peel paint in my basement! Bet the Ceriatone does better at lower volume? And the Ceriatone really sounds more brown, and seems like way more fun!

Interesting. I don't consider rectifiers as being scooped, but too many people scoop the mids on them. Otherwise, a good recto has good thick mids. Great video!

The Ceriatone reminds me of the old Laney Pro Tube Lead AOR series.. looks anyway

The Soldano is the king of high gain. I am gutted that Mike Soldano is closing up shop before I was able to buy one.

Colour me surprised. I like the Ceriatone better. The Soldano is great though. I remember when Soldanos were THE amp. Even Clapton and Knopfler were using them live. Obviously a very different tone to what you're going for though. Daniel Johns was using them when I saw Silverchair in Manchester back in 1999 (I think). Sounded massive. Beast of a thing.

Both sound great. Have you done the Marshall jvm demo mate? Be great to hear how they stack up against these.

That Molecular sounds amazing? Im looking at the Leaviathian and King Kong because they have two channels but if neither can get that Molecular tone, then it makes them less appealing. I cant really afford a new amp but for high gain they just have this awesomeness to them!

I am Soldano guy, but this Ceriatone sounds so amazing. Ok. I will not buy it, but I will, for sure, find some Tonex or NAM capture of it. Can you do it?

That Ceriatone is a MONSTER! Time to order one. Anyone want to buy a JCM800?

Lagi sedap dari soldano

Soldano's are great, but are they worth twice what the Ceriatone costs?

Hey Leon. I'd like to know if you've played a Bogner Ecstacy? And if so what are your thoughts? Sorry way off topic

Hm.. idunno. The Molecular sounds much more 'native' (organic?) for me. And if i hear well: that has more dynamic spectrum.

Great sounds. What's that riff after unchained?

I assume the Ceriatone is hand wired and half the price of the soldano.

Please, please, please...... Run through a T.C. Electronics Mimiq and run it into BOTH of those amps at the same time. I need to here this. Please Leon!!!!!!! I will be your best Yankee friend for ever and ever!

I am WAY into the Soldano. Saw the bandage on your arm, hope the “attack cat” didn’t get you too.

Both amps sound good...what do you think about Engl amps?

How in the world did you not play them together? I clicked this thinking, "there's no Way Leon doesn't run these two amps together for some serious guitar face."

What's the song you're playing at about 6.05? Sounds great.

Leon, where does this delay come from? and how is it in stereo if you are turning on the amp in mono?

Is the Ceriatone thick? I had a Diezel VH4 and hated how thick and round it was. Looking at getting the Ceriatone but hoping it’s not a thick amp. Want tight and articulate

Why does you just dicking about sound better than anything I’ve written in the last 15 years... But maaaaan those amps sound beautiful!

JVM ?????

Is the Molecular two channels? Wondering how a single channel amp would work in a live setting if needing clean tones?

How does the Gargoyle stack up vs the Molecular?

So to be clear, it’s a one channel amp ? (Ceriatone)

The Soldano, to me, just doesn’t sound good when not doing that recto thing. Kudos to Randall for recognizing that, even that far back in time...

Name of riff at 03:57 and 05:59 please? :)

with fear of sounding stupid does anyone know the riff at 3:57

the harmonic content in the soldano sounds loose and lacks definition. its harsh and lacks girth. its got squish and its a bit loose. the molecular sounds better than the soldano. more articulate and well defined and a bit creamy. harmonics are present and well defined. molecular hands down.

*I just had an eargasm. Twice.*

I dig everything about your demos *except that EVH riff you play with these amps every single time.*
