@diegoarayamanzanares2758 7 ай бұрын

Hey Jay, thanks for this great video!! I'm planning on buying an SLO30 kit. Do you think it has enough headroom for rehearsals/small gigs with a drummer and bassist? Or maybe I should go for a 50W version?

@jayguitar 7 ай бұрын

You're welcome. It was so awesome building this one! Great Q about the loudness. Through a 2x12 or 4x12 this is plenty loud and should be fine with a drummer and bassist. Of course the 50 will be louder but marginally - the difference will be around 1db increase in volume. Through a 1x12 speaker it will sound a little quieter because of speaker efficiency, but again its maybe 20% quieter at full volume. What you do get with the higher wattage amps is more clean headroom. But for the overdrive channel you won't notice too much of a difference. I went for this one for the form factor - the chassis is smaller - which worked into fitting it into my amp shelf in the studio. Hope that helps! Have an awesome day!

Hey Jay, Would you consider the SLO to be similar in the topology of a Fender Bassman? Or is it really its own thing?

@jayguitar 7 ай бұрын

Hey dude, no the Soldano is its own thing. The tone and layout are very different from Fender amps. The channels inside the Soldano actually work in parallel so there is some bleed from clean channel into the overdrive channel. Have an awesome day!

@YNSEVEN 2 ай бұрын

Hi. I just purchased this kit. Was wondering if you had a schematic/layout for the external bias mod?

@jayguitar 2 ай бұрын

Excellent that you have the kit! Te external bias is really easy - pin 8 from each of the power tubes to connection points. Then a 1ohm resistor from the connection points to a grounding point. Grounding point then grounded. That will give you a milliamp reading for the bias 😊 If you look up any of the Ceriatone layouts you'll see how its done as well 🙏 Hope that helps! Have an awesome day!

Jay - how does this kit sound in comparison to your SLODrag? Which one sounds closer to the real SLO?

@jayguitar Жыл бұрын

Really good Q! The Rosamp SLO30 is the same exact circuit as the SLO and also the transformers are just a highly spec'ed (probably higher spec) and it uses 6L6 tubes so it is identical to the SLO tone. SLODrag gets close but is a little different in comparison - the main difference I find is in the thickness of tone which is added by the bigger 6L6 tubes over the 6V6 tubes I have in SLODrag. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day!

Ha! where’s the fun in that? lol! Actually I did almost buy one a couple of times over the last 12 months but I really enjoy the building process so this was WS more appealing. And for the price of a and SLO100 I can probably build all three - the 30, 50 and 100! How cool would that look in my studio 🤔 Have a great day 😊🤟🏽🙏🏽

@FirestormAudio Жыл бұрын

@@jayguitar Definitely! And thanks for the reply! DIY certainly has it's own charm and your amp does sound amazing. I was fortunate enough to get one of the new BAD SLO 100s and your amp sounds like mine. I've always wanted to build my own amp kit, but I'm an electronics novice and have no idea where to start. I've successfully built a few pedals at least, but they had step by step instructions and most amp kits just give you a schematic to read.

@jayguitar Жыл бұрын

You should do it dude 😊 I started off with pedals too. Kits now come with a really great layout plan rather then just schematic where you have to figure it all out. This kit was so straight forward from the plans. I enjoyed building it 😊

@FirestormAudio Жыл бұрын

@@jayguitar That's good to know! I'm definitely going to browse rosamp's offerings to see what they have. I'm really interested in building a hot rodded marshall style amp or at least a jcm clone so I can use the hotmod v2 with it.
