    I absolutely LOVE that Molecular!!! So much so I ordered one myself. That Soldano sounds amazing but the Molecular is a bit more versatile and really is exactly what I'm looking for. Kudos for including the negative feedback control! That was one of my favorite parameters on the axefx too. Cant wait until mine arrives!

      Awesome. Did you get the 50 or 100?

    • @whatdrugami
      @whatdrugami 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@LeonTodd I got the 50. I have a 100 watt 2203 clone and I can never turn it up past 1 because it's so loud. So I thought being able to turn the 50 watt Molecular up a little higher and push the power tubes a little harder without blowing the doors off the place was a better idea for me.

    Medium gain Soldano is my second favorite tone. First being Angus-level Plexi. Both just do it for me. I'm constantly dabbling with others, but always come back to that Plexi crunch.
    Your SLO preset for Amplifire is so awesome.

    The Soldano has more low end ooomph and it's a super recognizable sound, but sounds a lil fizzy in the high freq. On the other end the Molecular sounds more balanced and articulate, less muddy. I love both! Need to hear them in stereo!

    @TheAxe4Ever 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Call me crazy, but I prefer the Ceriatone Molecular over the Soldano. I like the bit of sag and push back it gives you. It makes you want to dig in when you want to and makes you play more dynamically. The Soldano is awesome for sure, if you are into a stiffer more linear feel. To me the Molecular just sounds more “3D” if that makes any sense. I can only imagine how it “feels” when actually playing it. Maybe a bit of confirmation bias for me because I just ordered a Chupacabra 100 and I can’t wait for that beast to get here. Quite a bit of a wait time though.

    How in the world did you not play them together? I clicked this thinking, "there's no Way Leon doesn't run these two amps together for some serious guitar face."

    The Soldano, to me, just doesn’t sound good when not doing that recto thing. Kudos to Randall for recognizing that, even that far back in time...

      The lack of negative feedback on the Recto gain channel is part of the magic too. The Soldano gets close but doesn't quite have the "thunk" in the lows.

    Why does you just dicking about sound better than anything I’ve written in the last 15 years... But maaaaan those amps sound beautiful!

    the harmonic content in the soldano sounds loose and lacks definition. its harsh and lacks girth. its got squish and its a bit loose. the molecular sounds better than the soldano. more articulate and well defined and a bit creamy. harmonics are present and well defined. molecular hands down.

      That riff is a benchmark for the brown sound. A sound everyone wants
