Those low gain tones are another huge benefit the SLO has over the other Soldanos.

Yeah that sounds awesome!!! It should be here tomorrow! Hopefully before practice

Why only 30 watts out of two 6L6s? Is it underrated on purpose? When I think of 30 watts I think of 4xEL84s.

Yeah he basically designed the amp to mimic what Evh did with a variac on his plexis. Results in reduced wattage but since it still has massive transformers it sounds huge.

They sent it 1 day air for free. It arrives today

Here it is:




Real test is tomorrow with the band (I changed practice day so I could wait for the amp ) but so far I love it. It sounds like a real SLO. The master volume is VERY gradual, to the point I thought it wasn't going to be loud enough, but it picks up when it's past 4 and gets really loud after that.
Tons of gain on the overdrive channel, as expected. Gain on 3 is more than enough for my rhythm tone. On 5 I can play leads without a boost.

Crunch channel is great too. More 800 like.

Can't wait to take it to practice tomorrow!!!

Damn the purple looks so fucking good

I’ve found I definitely run the gain lower than I’d expect on the overdrive channel. About the same settings 3 for rhythm and 5 for lead, depending on the guitar.

Oh shit dat purple


Congrats!!!

Yeah I like the purple tolex a lot. It wasn't intentional, this was just the one I found for a good price (2200 open box new, so it comes with the lifetime warranty), and I wasn't sure if I would like the color, but it looks killer in person.
