Soldano just landed.......

[K Odell]

Well my Avenger just got here. All I can say is sounds AWESOME!!! Need to spend some more time with it of course but I love it. I will get some pics soon. The only issue I have with it is its missing the cover for the light on the front, but I can get another one of those.

Sweet dude! Do you find it's helped by a Tube Screamer?

 

[K Odell]

Honestly I just played it cranked without one and it sounded incredible. I dont even know if it needs it.

 

[J.DavisNJ]

AWESOME! My next amp for sure. It will suit what I'm currently playing perfectly me thinks.

Post some raw clips of only guitars if you can dude...that would be great.

$1800 for a single channel amp...

wtf?

am I the only one that doesn't see that as a particularly smart buy?

I hope you didn't pay that for it... just my opinion, though.

 

[K Odell]

People pay way more than that all day long for single channel amps. That being said, I traded my Krank for it and this thing smokes it.

Play a Soldano and you'll understand

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Yep, besides you can find them used for as low as $1,000-1,200 all day long. I'm a bit biased though, since I'm a single channel amp guy. No amp I've played does more than one thing exceptionally well (at least for my taste), on their separate channels. I'd rather buy a nice Fender for my clean and a kickass amp like the Soldano for my gain.

That essentially what I want to do live eventually. I want to use a Mesa Lonestar for my cleans and the Soldano and 5150 for my heavier stuff.

Nice. I want to try out a wet/dry setup with my Plexi!

[Metaltastic]

That's gonna be one seriously heavy rig Kyle!

 

[Machinated]

nice score dude - i fucking love the soldano sound and can't wait for your clips!

 

[K Odell]

Pics:

Blurry city....oh well haha

How do take pictures ¯\(°_o)/¯

 

[Metaltastic]

Godammit Kyle, lay off the coffee and hold your breath when you press the shutter Nice and simple layout though, just the way I like it! (FUCK amps with too many controls per channel, e.g. two gain knobs, two mid knobs, tons of mini-toggles, etc. )

 

[Machinated]

doesnt the SLO have 2 gain knobs? i cant remember too well.....

 

[slashvanyoung]

Nice score man! I'd love to have a Soldano, especially an SLO around. If you put one into a typical 5150/Recto mix for leads, you won't have to bother about cutting through IME.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, but one for each channel (or that's what it looks like from the pic anyway)

 

[Metaltastic]

And where does all that money go to anyway? The transformers? Cuz they're the only thing I can think of that'd have that kind of price/feature disparity (well, except for the name :Smug: )
