Having both, in my opinion the Soldano is an all-round amplifier but with a less percussive and more rock sounding than heavy metal while the Mezzabarba, despite having the same preamp as the SLO, has a power amp that brings it closer to a Marshall, it has overall more gain, a decidedly more percussive sound and is therefore more suited to Heavy sounds. The fact that the Mezza has three channels and also midi controls, however, certainly makes it very interesting among the Soldano-derived amplifiers

I've owned many Soldano SLO100s in my lifetime including serial no. 006 and 008. I recently bought a MZero and although sound is a subjective thing, I can can honestly say with a well founded opinion, that the MZero is a SLO100 on steroids. It definitely has more gain and IMO sounds noticeably better for soloing.
@Whizzinby7772 жыл бұрын
Mezza just sounds like it has a hair more gain on tap with a slightly more aggressive/modern voicing, but that might just be because the SLO handles the gain so ridiculously well, with that gummy midrange. It never gets fizzy or loose it just gets meaner the more gain you throw at it. I suppose that ultimately comes down to preference but the SLO just stays tight and thick. (Yo mamma) I’d probably choose the SLO. It’s the high gain equivalent of a classic muscle car. Never goes out of style.
@belligerentamateur2 жыл бұрын
Couldn't agree more! The amp needs to be understood to get it to sound best for tight metal tones, but the way people talk about it on the internet leads me to believe they've never actually played it.

I owned the SLO30 for about a year, and have a SLO preamp currently so I’m pretty familiar with it. lol I’ve never had to push the gain past 6 on any SLO I’ve ever played, and I just hit it with an OD when I needed to drive it hard. (I play modern music) It’s a high gain amp by any standard, even if some other modern amps have more on tap. (The majority of which is thoroughly unusable unless tuning extremely low imo)

To my ears that Mezzabarbara didn't come close to being more punchy, or percussive than the SLO. I was really looking forward to hearing it (I've never heard one)....but, it sounds flubby and fizzy to me. The SLO was tighter, with more punch and mid-focus. Maybe in the room it's different. That said, pulling that gain back a bit to match the tone it was originally designed for back in '88, showcases the SLO much better. Mike Soldano didn't have "chuggers" in mind when designing this.

The SLO is the king because of how clean and articulate it is. It's misleading in a way as it doesn't "seem" real high gain, but it is, and is just so composed. Of course, it has huge power filtering to keep it real tight and articulate. The incredible clarity of the SLO is why it's really in a class of its own. Clear and articulate is where it's at.

Im sure that in the amp market the slo will always hold it value better than most amps and I bet that is also another of the factors that people look at.

I don't play metal but those overdriven tones at the end with the active pickups make me want to. Do you need a noise gate in that scenario?

They’re really close. I’m a mix nobody could tell the difference. Overall they’re so close that I think the slightest of differences would make a person pick one over the other.

I have to mostly agree with this. People saying one crushes the other re basically just showing their brand bias.

They're very close. Considering the SLO is 500 (!!) more expensive than the Mezza in Europe, not sure it's worth it.

I would want the MB for rhythm because that perceived thinness is gonna leave more room for the bassist and kick. For solos I like the smooth sweetness in the soldano.

Honestly I really can't decide which I like better. I think they both sound amazing. Maybe the very slightest of edges to the Soldano to my ear. I really do love both.

I like the extra focus on the mezzabarba and the ability to control the feel a little but the slo is thicker and has more character its not so smooth and vanilla and doesn't come across thin at all compared to the mezza. Also the switching on the front panel seals the deal SLO for the win but very close and personal taste after playing both is always recommended \m/

Soldano is the Real thing and put a new standard on great records and live performances of famous artists , like Gary Moore , Van Halen , Clapton , Mick Mars and so on...and they bought these Amps and don't use it just for endorsement or because the factory sent them amps for free. Meza was made 30 years later , and started just copyng Soldano amps....here in Italy...Brunetti...Cicognani...not bad amps ...but far from being innovative and pioneering stuff...

My two cents, Firstly is that you really didn't set them both at noon, the mzero has Increments 1-10 were as the slo is 1-11 . That is a dramatic difference in tonal change when you talk full sweep of the Pitentiameter on both. Awesome video btw!!!
