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.
Nice info bro thanks
I spat my coffee because on the thumb nail the word Soldano seemed at first glance SOLO ANO which is Italian for JUST ANUS
Which describes Line 6's early days of modeling 🤣🤣🤣
Well this Amp just kick you Ass!
As my username suggest i've been dreaming about this amp for almost 20 years.
And now that it's avalaible again...
...i still can't afford it :)
I hear you. I first experienced one in person in about 2002 and have been hooked ever sense. My ability or wallet can't in any way justify owning one but I just WANT one. I'll probably get one anyway at some point even though it's nuts.
Get synergy dude! 1/5 of the price barely different tone and made by the same people!
I can’t even afford to use the Soldano patch in the Spark that I own! It asks for $2789 when you try to select it! 😜🤘🏻🎸
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...
One of the best sounding amps ever, hands down.
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...
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!
What's he into?
I wanna say...gassers.
Even though I have never owned one, that midrange sound they have is forever entrenched in my memory banks forever. Do not even need to hear one. I have 2 ENGL'S and an old VHT and still not completely happy because the Soldano is the KING!!!🎸🎵
Some of the people complaining about the price would be pretty surprised to know that a lot of their favorite guitar tones from their favorite albums feature the SLO or a kemper/profile of it. I think it’s worth the $ if you keep it for life and actually use it.
This was definitely (by far) the best sound you've had on this channel to date !
Man I was amazed at the sound of that amp !
Long live to the king !
The real hero of that demo is the bass tone.
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!
I just love that voicing. There's a kind of 'quack' (hard to describe) the Soldanos have that just does it for me.
Grammar Alert:
The Soldano is a hAllowed amp because it is revered for its quality since the 1980s...
The Saldando is not a hOllowed amp because, while there is some emptiness inside, there is still plenty within its enclosure.
Good demo by the way.
Do you mean headroom? What are you saying?
@@tyshred9251 whoosh. You know what grammar is right?
Ty Shred He’s just being a nerd
Yep, that’s the Soldano tone. Love it!
This is GLORIOUS
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
EVH playing through his soldano on the FUCK album is my favorite guitar tone of all time. Especially on songs in n out, runaround, and judgement day. Killlllller tone. Even better on live right here right now.
Mike Soldano is a master at getting those tones!
Mike designs and builds the best amps ever, at least in my opinion. I had an SLO back in the early 90s and I have no idea why I ever got rid of it… I’ll have to save my pennies and try to buy a new one.
Matt Pike plays Soldano. I was expecting Fluff to demo with a Les Paul shirtless
For years my main rig was a slightly modded soldano SP-77 (2 ch tube pre) into a Mesa 2:90....love that tone. Went back to it everytime from a triaxis (twice), Marshall 6100 head, engl pre amp, & a few other things.....currently gig with a fractal AX8, the rack is right next to it....
Very awesome. I don't have a "Depth" mod on mine but was able to nail your settings and compensated with my bass. Bravo.
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)
It's a slightly modified Soldano preamp. More different than the originals were, but even those had slight differences
Matt pike is a god walking amongst us all.. Literally (and i know how he hates people saying this about him, Matt, Im sorry but its what i think) the reincarnation of Lemmy.
Loved this amp but I'm still gonna rock my 6505
@Joe Paul yeah it does. Who knows maybe me or you'll win the lottery and get to buy a slo
I'll still rock my Fryette,, its a good contender for SLO
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!
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. \,,/
Probably the best tone you done so far. This amp is so great. A mix of plexi with a boogie. Best combination
That whole riff in the beginning is dope dude. Banger 😎
😮😮😮 This sounds REALLY good when the song kicks in!
Cab IR? Do I detect some Bogren IRs here? Edit: Nevermind... Orange 2x12
@@DaveOteroTube Nope just the RODE Procaster and a 57 on the Orange 2x12 haha
I love how much you own that you like dirty clean tones. The clean tone example just being different levels of dirt. 😂
I just wish it was actually “dirty clean tone,” instead of just bridge-pickup-noon-EQ-laziness. It’s like all the hate made him go “alright, mid-2000’s 5150 metalcore clean tone FOREVER.”
Whatever, if it works it works lol.
Nice to see the RD on the channel again, and it's nice that this video uses the same riff as one of your Dual Rectifier videos so i can go back and compare
Great review as always. Been wanting the Soldano since the 90s. Now it's being re released updated, it'll be my next addition to my tone arsenal
I grief the fact that the Avenger didn't get enough love to justify the return.
Noticed the Bucee’s shirt....that’s f’n rad. I’m from Texas and that is the best gas station in the world. Awesome amp. You have inspired me to start playing again. Definitely plan on getting another project/band going in the near future. 🤙🤘
I’m from Louisiana and Buc-ees is a must any time we’re there.
God damn, this is tone heaven. For as long as I've been a fan of the SLO100, which is a long time, I've known that I'll never be able to afford one. I take a bit of comfort from fiddling with the "SLO Lead Crunch" and "SLO Lead OD" amp models in my Line 6 HX Stomp with an Orange 412 IR, even though I know it'll never get close to the real thing. This amp sounds absolutely astounding!
Nice one Fluff. Killer amps for sure and this sounds exactly like my 2012 SLO. They do clean, to rock to brutality. \m/
Now we know why you like those early Rectifiers so much after that experience at 16. Straight copy of the SLO preamp
I met with Mike right when he opened his shop in the 80s. Really nice guy. It was a toss up between buying the SLO or a Mesa/Boogie Mark 3. I screwed up and bought the Boogie. BAD call!!!
Gotta give props on the Buc-ee's Shirt
Big fan of the Hot Rod too
That breakdown... God I need one of these
Soldano backwards is Onadlos which in Spanish means "burnt onions"
So its hot and it makes you cry?
You ever thought about a 2x15 for a beastly amp such as that Fluff? I can tell ya right now, you'd enjoy that very, very much.
Amazing demo as usual though!
fluffy you bring the best riffs to amps test, omg!
Hey Fluff!
Just wanted to say, I been seeing you rockin’ the beaver shirt a lot lately and man...
Texas loves you, too.
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. ♥️
I heard that Tool Aenima slip... just sayin'
Holy crap! That tone is incredible!
It's also my fav high gain amp ever, so dynamic !
I feel like the EVH 5153 6l6 amp or the Stealth version has similar characteristics of the Solano.
Yes, the SLO Soldano captures Van Halen very well. But I always thought it was even better at early Lynch tone or even some of DeMartinis earlier tones.
They are quality regardless. Both in build and sound.
5150s were modeled after SLO,, van Halen used SLO on F.U.C.K. album
HOLY SMOKES THIS AMP IS AMAZING!!
Awesome! Yep top of the gas tree for me. One day.... Funnily enough I’ve been using your 5153 plug-in with the Ik AmpliTube SLO100 on some tracks recently. Killer combo 👌🏻
If I have to pick out my favorite amp of all time, and I've been playing guitar for almost four decades and have tried just about everything, it would still be the SLO 100. I remember trying one for the first time in '86 at a boutique amp shop in Hollywood. It was like sitting in a Ferrari for the first time. It was an experience in beautiful tone and craftsmanship. I also wanted to cry when the salesman told me the price. I think it was about $2,300 at the time for the head, nevermind the excellent cab. Lou Reed, Clapton, Demartini, Lynch, Eddie, all the big guys were using them back then. It was an amp that attracted everyone from shredders to low key arthouse rockers. I've seen many big players using them live. I saw Dickie and Warren using them at an Allman concert around '93. They sounded absolutely incredible. Such clarity and tone. While a number of big players own SLOs, a lot of professionals actually rent them, or have the act they play for rent them. A good example would be a player like Nuno Bettencourt playing for Rihanna, although I don't know what he actually used on tour. These amps are extremely reliable, handbuilt and quality controlled like a Swiss bank vault. They'll also empty out your bank account should you choose to buy one. Great amp, but not for amateurs, and too pricey, even for some professionals.
Great tone, expensive but mighty. To compare it cost just the same as a PRS Custom 24 10-top USA... Quite an investment but probably something you would keep all your life and give it to your children.
Soldano Amps are definitely one of my top favorites,just bad ass
🤘😝
I love the soldano emulation they have in guitar rig. Was curious to hear the real thing, does not disappoint!
very Space Rocky mix tune , my favorite you have EVER done.
3:11 Dude, perfect synchron
You should get an Orange PPC 412 for that head, mine is like heaven.
One of my fave amps of all time!!
Come for the tone, stay for the Buc-ees shirt.
I'd love to hear you're thoughts on a tone comparison of the slo and the jet city jca amps
This!!!
Yes! Absolutely! JCA100h
The Jet City HDM is kick ass
2nd this
I heard a Jet City live and was impressed. Don't know exactly which one but i believe it had 333 on it. Wasn't a high gain band also
Oh boy, the slo 100. Little has changed in the last 30 years and thank GOD. It is the holy grail of high gain amps. Throw in a phase and maybe a flanger but nothing else, you won't need anything else. I bought mine in 95 or 96 and it just gets better with time. Eddie Van Halen recorded the entire F.U.C.K. album with an slo 100, so if it was good enough for Eddie...
Inquisition uses this!
Soldano literally are the best. Anyone hating hasn’t had the fortune of playing one :)
Besides the fact the "best sound" goes down to the individuals opinion.
emphasis on "fortune"
Who hates them?
The demo song is pretty cool
I used the amp sim variation of this on amplitfube and I played finger 11's songs such as 'the first time', 'drag you down'
The SLO is that one girl wo did that thing no other girl since has been quite able to do.
Sexist. But not inaccurate.
Omg Opie is alive
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?
Man! That thing rips!
Great riff too 🤘
I've always wanted one of these, and probably the only amp that I would spend that kind of dough on - and I really dont need the watts, but its just so friggin' awesome.
Love the Bucc ee’s shirt! 😁
My HR50+ is so THIC, can't say enough about Soldano's!!! And I've got Mikes sig on the back!
Mattias Jabbs and Rudolf Schenker use to play Soldano SLO 100🤟🏼🤟🏼
IMO,...Soldano SLO 100 is the best amplifier in the world for all rock tones..There are a only a very slim few 100w amps that I haven't had the chance to try yet and those are extreme outliers, most of which I've played.
Love the sound of these amps, but my bank account doesn't like the price tag, so I will keep using my slo100 in amplitube 4
The clean character is very Fendery and not too different from cheaper amps if I’m being honest, the high gain is the only thing with good character
Between the SLO in Amplitube and the off-brand version in Bias FX, plus all the amps I've "built" using plugins in DAWs that wound up sounding like this, I think I just need to save up and get one.
Mick Mars played the SLO 👍
If I were more than just a hobbyist I would own this amp. And probably most hobbyist are probably buying this amp. Haha.
Nope, were not. Haha most hobbyists can't justify spending that much on just name. Theres plenty of comparable amps out there for less than half the price new.
Sounds great Fluff! How close is that amp to the SLO amp in the Helix? Since many can't afford a REAL SLO100.... Seems like a video many would love to hear. 😉
I too would like to hear this comparison
In my experience slo amp models get pretty close to the tone but this 10% they don't get quite right make all the difference in the wolrd
I have been into Soldano, since I heard Lynch Mob's Wicked Sensation! I want a Soldano Decatone, but will most likely get the Synergy SYN 50.
Does it come with a foot switch?..p.s. the riff at 2:42 is fantastic! Is it part of a finished song? Or just some random music for your video?
Awesome demo Fluff! Would you shootout this Soldano SLO vs your Peavey 5150 Block ?
Best review of this amp yet 👌
Hey Fluff, you gonna do a video on one of the smaller soldano mini head thing. What is it a 20 or 30 watt version of this? I'm not sure of the exact specs but it would be cool if you did a comparison of this and that. Just sayin.
Get a Synergy 5050 a slo module and syn-1 dock and you have this amp for half the price!
was this miced through a cabinet, or did it go through some sort of amp capture reactive device?
Did you check on the soldano slo with green backs at all? Not sure if you can comment on v30 speakers vs Greenbacks. Obviously the greens sound great for 80s and blues and 30s for metal … but thought a slo would sound killer with a gb top : v30 bottom like the Friedman cabs
Probably my dream amp. I'm just using Blackstar and Marshall in the 1k range. lol
3:40 You probably just upset the annoying “Boost Gang Community” that would boost a nuclear ☢️ rocket if they could play through it 😂!! They have to use that $50 pedal boosting a $4000 amp lmao!! Fluff, sounded great bro, thanks for the vid! 👍🏼 upsetting the boost gang in 3, 2, 1, go......🤣
Hey even that $50 boost pedal makes stuff just sound great. People that like that sound just like that sound. If its your thing, the price of the amp has no bearing on how great a boost makes high gain amps sound. 👌
Brad Hargis I know, I’ve heard that exact line a million times. I boost amps like a JCM800, plexi, FDR or Bassman that needs it, so I’m not against it. I just think it’s kinda funny boosting an expensive high gain amp. To each it’s own. Excuse me while I go buy me a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and put on a set of goodyear wrangler tires because I like the ride better. 😉
Then they use 10 dollar strings and a 75 cent pick. They're so dumb
You jest but a TS set to low drive/high level/mid tone and a "low-ish" gain setting on the OD channel actually sounds pretty good. The amp by itself still sounds amazing without it, but adding a TS can shape the tone a bit differently than the amp can by itself.
Your statement missing the fact some may be just trying to develop their own tone.
Fuuuuck that mix sounds HUGE!!!!
It's a keeper!
Are you using any noise gate pedal with it? Especially on high overdrive
putting that 9 string to good use, sounds massive! \m/
I know the 5150 is based off the SLO but can the SLO do those big burly 5150 tones?
Sorry but for the price I will go with the Hughs&Kettner tri-amp 3
Steve Vai's For the love of God was recorded using a SLO100 amp
Love the Bucee’s shirt!
