I played one a few weeks ago, and it kicked my ass in person. Soldano is the best.

I just played one of these and comparing it to the SLO 30 head, it does an amazing job. It captures the soldano sound, and easily fills the room. Worth it if you dont want a huge rig

Thank you SO much for talking about the crunch channel (and the clean for that matter). 99% of the people who demo this amp, use WAY too much gain, and it sounds like fizzy garbage, and completely misrepresents how articulate, and percussive that crunch or “plexi’ channel is. It’s literally the tone that defines this amp. NO ONE get’s that. Great demo, Kris!

G12H-150 speaker is probably a lot like a G12H-75 Creamback which is my favorite speaker. This combo sounds insanely good! Great demo Kris!

That's sounds great Kris I normally hate 1x12 combos cuz I have a 1x12 😂 it's the speaker in that one that sounds great! 2x12 would still be better for the low end rumble..great video man..

Hi Kris. Brilliant playing - really love the sounds from this amp. I’d like to get one later this year just for home use and wondering if I need to get a load box or does the master control the levels to manageable volume for home use? I had a Mesa rectoverb combo & it’s way too loud pre tubes hitting the sweet spot & this is more my thing - thanks. Perhaps the Astro is a better option?

@tahcofan 9 күн бұрын
depends on your definition of "home use," but you would probably need an attenuator or something similar, to use the SLO-30 at the volumes most people say it sounds best at.

This amp can sound big. But it starts sounding big much higher on the overdrive master than mere 2. And then one needs to back off with depth, as the amp is „pumped” already.

There is something that surprised me some time ago, and I still don't have the answer to this question. Since I started playing the guitar, I've tried all sorts of amplifiers and different types of speakers. I was really into tube amps, and I enjoyed changing speakers in my combos, but I was never truly satisfied-I always felt like something was missing. About two years ago, I switched to modeling at home . I have a Positive Grid Mini and Go, as well as a Fender Mustang LT40s. By chance, one day I decided to connect one of them to my big JBL Partybox 310 using the headphone jack. And it was a huge surprise. Not only did it work, but it sounded much better than anything I had experienced in the past. That's when I realized the potential of a simple headphone jack. It made me wonder why more musicians don't do the same thing-connecting directly to a PA system or similar sound system , like the JBL, for example. I still don't have the answer to that question, even though it sounds much better than any guitar cab or speakers I have ever tried in my life. PS: However, I've been dreaming of a Soldano combo for a long time, so I hope it doesn't make me give in because it seems to sound great. You can find it at Thomann or not yet.

Many do use headphones for a variety of reasons. Good sound is but one. No mystery among everyone I know. The mystery is why we do not see more on KZfaq doing likewise...

Soldano is the Legend. Greate presentation and overview as always 👍. Kris, it is intresting, which clean channel whould you personally preffer as a pedal platform - SLO100 or REVV Generator 120 mk3?
@KrisBarocsi Жыл бұрын
Thanks man! Oh wow that is a tough question. 😅 I find them equally awesome with pedals. The SLO is a bit more chimey, the Generator a bit more balanced. Same awesome, slightly different character with pedals.

It !looks like you're changing tone settings to show different sounds. If I'm correct, you probably shouldn't because that wouldn't be what you'd do on a gig. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
@KrisBarocsi Жыл бұрын
Good point! I only changed the settings though to show it’s tone in different styles. The two channels are very well balanced so if you find „your tone“ you can leave the knobs where they are and the channels will sound great when going back and forth. The only thing that’s not balanced volume wise are the clean/crunch modes of channel 1. Crunch is much louder than clean so you have to decide which one you want to use and set the volume for that. Then you have crunch-overdrive balanced, or clean-overdrive balanced. That’s really it. 👍
