Not everyone knows this, but what you hear on the Killswitch Engage live DVD from 2005 is a Soldano SLO made for George Lynch with all mods, the clean channel ripped out, and the fx loop ripped out, and KT66's. It (to me) is my holy grail amp/tone for metal core.

Well Soldano also released this year a 30 watt SLO that retails around $2800. Granted, I wouldn't consider that price point as chump change but something to consider. Also, check out a Yamaha T100 which was produced from the blueprints of the SLO 100. Most users have the depth and choke mods to make it even closer to the original

I bought a Soldano clone here in my country, built by a handmaker (around $900) . SLO-100 circuit is widely known and can be found easily on the internet. A clone might satisfy your desire...

Couldn't agree with Fluff more on this vid - best amp ever. I remember plugging into one when I was 16 in 1996 and falling in love ever since. Awesome tone, and the build quality is tops. And now I finally have the resources to get one, so...
@monsterk7603 4 жыл бұрын
It seems like you and Rabea make the best "in the mix" examples for your amp reviews, so it shines a spotlight on what that amp does really well. I managed to snag a pristine Hot Rod 50+ off Reverb about a year ago. Just amazing every time I plug in. It makes me happy to know Boutique is going to stay true to the legendary Soldano name. \,,/

Ive owned the Soldano Avenger 100 for many years and now own the Hot Rod 50 with the depth mod. Best amps on the market. The high gain channel is the best heavy tone out there and the clean channel is very nice and usable too!

Got my Yamaha T50c modded by Mike years ago he was a super nice guy actually allowed me to hang out and pick his brain while HE actually worked on my amp. It was one of the coolest things ever he just casually went over the history of the amp and how it came to be. He’s a really nice guy. Also very into the local hot rod scene as well!

The problem with the Soldano, is once you play through one, nothing else compares. I played one with a Les Paul Studio over 13 YEARS AGO and I still can't get that sound out of my head. Like it's perfect. The gain staging results in such a warm and full sound that is just as badass loud as it is bedroom-quiet

Such a killer amp can see why Matt Pike uses them for High On Fire and how Mesa copied the front end to make the rectifier apparently. Also would love to see some Abominable Electronics on the channel a fellow Washington/Seattle band that make killer stuff and work closely with Kurt Ballou on some cool circuits (11 control HM2 and a TS with extra gain/brutal boost)

This is an excellent amp! An amp intended for "guitar players".......great cleans, crunch, and of... course shredding leads.(this amp allows you to be unique/sound unique as a player). It is not a computer! (tubes, cabs: real speakers, tones in a room) It requires the player to know what they are doing when dialing it in. It also requires you to know how to play a guitar....not just thump on the low strings. It's a tone monster......a guitar players amp. Like a fine wine, like a finely tuned sports car, an instrument of quality and character. It is what it is, it costs what it costs. Like it or not......doesn't matter! It exists as a legendary amp for a reason!
@FiggySmallsNotoriousFIG 9 ай бұрын
The best tone I've ever heard on an amp. All those years i thought i wanted a 6505+ but the distortion sucked and didn't have that perfect spongey edge to it like this. Funny thing is anytime I ever played a line six product I was always kind of surprised that when I went through the models that I was always stuck on one called SLO. Never had any idea what it stood for until today. 🤣 Idiot. I'm in love. The SLO model on the Boss Katana 50 MKii gives me the goosebumps and now i know why. ♥️

@lookmanostrings 10 ай бұрын
Señor Beards, can you help me understand something? Traditionally I have thought that, much like a JCM800, you have to crank that master volume to get the SLO to sound good and ease up the brittleness, which is why the SLO is something to be enjoyed at big stage volumes. But on these new version demos I've seen, everyone seems to just be using the preamp for overdrive and keeping the master volumes low. I'm super confused. You dial in the newer SLOs different than old?

@lawngnome412 4 жыл бұрын
To my ear (and i AM listening to this on my phone) it sounds similar to your Inferno 100 demo tone, and your Taurus Stomphead demo tone. And i LOVE the videos you did on those 2, so for you to dial this similar, is just awesome. This seems just the tiniest bit less bassy/thick than those other 2 demos though. Just my opinion.
