Out of all the crazy amounts of amps that have been hitting the market over the last few years, this and the H&K Grandmeister 40 are really killing everything when it comes to value. "Gamechanger" gets thrown around A LOT these days, but these two amps are 100% deserving of the title.

Wonder why there is no Standby Switch. Are the power tubes running at a low voltage ?

I am guessing this amp is the reason that the Synergy IR20 was not released at NAMM 24. I would prefer the possible versatility of the Synergy exchangeable preamp. I will wait and compare the two.

Question: In a live gig at a medium-size pub with a loud drummer and NO mic on my speakers, could this Soldano Astro-20 watts keep up with a loud drummer in terms of volume? Next question: how does this Soldano Astro 20-watts compare to the EVH 5150iii 50-watts in terms of tone & volume?

20 watts by itself won't keep up with a loud drummer.

If Mike promoted and marketed its products like Mesa boogie did in the 2000's with its rectifier copy of Soldano SLO, the Soldano Brand now could be Huge.
@Altarofpigs6 ай бұрын
This has always been the problem with Soldano. He made an undeniably legendary amp, but had to compete in the market as a singular boutique builder making HIGH dollar products against major brands like Marshall and Mesa, who could afford to undercut him + advertise him right out of the water. Maybe you get a 100 famous players to buy one and they all say it’s the best, and get em in magazine spreads or on posters. When Marshall knocks in the door of saying “here’s a half dozen JCM 800s + our new JCM 900s and a wall of cabinets to take on tour, also we can cut you a check if you go with us exclusively” it’s a wrap. He was fighting a money game and couldn’t compete, especially with the economy of scale and profit margins those brands were able to achieve. That’s ignoring if he wanted to stand on his ethics and not pay people to play his stuff, always seemed like a good man.

I don't care what it sounds like... $1,995 for a little 20w head with two 6V6's is absolutely ridiculous. You should be getting a full size 100w head for that kind of money.
@BenBreard8 ай бұрын
I mean I don't disagree that it's a lot of money, but 1) no one buys a Soldano as a budget amp. 2) the price is on par (for better or worse) with the other offerings from B.A.D. like Friedman & Toneking. It fits where the dollar is now - which is a little depressing.
