This was terrible to watch. Glen literally looked at his WATCH while the guy was talking, further more, looked miserable and kept looking at the camera with this grimace look, Like why not say here hold the mic. So simple, instead of us ALL watching u suffer, literally ruining this entire interview. I love you Glenn, im a subber from your channel. But this is flat out unacceptable to look at ur watch while interviewing. Im not unsubbing or freaking out. just saying. This was terrible.....for you....AND for him. You looked miserable the entire time
Agreed. This was horrible to watch. Looking at the watch and looking everywhere else he looked like he was completely not interested. And heres Mike trying to show the clean channel and he's like alright let's get to what everyone wants to hear. Guarantee Mike won't come back after he sees this interview. Id be pissed if it was me.
This man has been in the business of building amps almost as long as I'm alive, and he _still_ has the passion to talk shop and nerdy electronics details. I hope I end up like that.
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
Lol, one minute in and all I can see is poor Glenn visibly suffering holding that mic haha. Really cool that you got to meet Soldano, his amps are amazing!
Such an awesome dude. You gotta love that this guy went from wanting better gear to actually able to have a moment of holy crap I can make a living doing something I love.
Love Mike Soldano! I finally got to meet him at NAMM, such a cool guy. I got to thank him for a quote of his I read in the 90s that I still recall today when talking to players. He was featured in a Soldano ad poster the store I worked in had on display and the quote was, "plug a $2,000 guitar into a $200 amp and plug a $200 guitar into a $2,000 amp and tell me which sounds better!" And for 1996, that was poignant as fuck. It still holds true today, but the technology of today didn't exist then, so you really were getting a $200 sounding amp when you spent $200.
Man, glad he's flattered, because pretty much every second high-gain amp is a copy of his design. It's really not fair that he didn't get financially compensated, especially by companies like Mesa Boogie, who patent the most miniscule things about their amps and sabotage amp-techs by "leaking" erroneous schematics.
Obviously RU-vid voice recognition doesn't know the name Soldano.. "Sultana", "salt da no"... I asked few episodes back for explaining a bit on the Soldano amps, and Glenn invites Mike Soldano himself to talk about the gear - priceless!
Glenn, I do not know if you have seen or heard the issue of Tone-Talk but listen to the early issue with Mike Soldano. Fast forward and listen to 2:17:10 in the Tone-Talk video. This is talking about the 5150 being a copy. It seems that the Mesa Recto pre-amp was an exact copy of the SLO. They talk about the Peavey being a modded-circuit with a lot more gain. Thanks for the video!
Some people call him a living legend, i always call him a hero. What a sound the SLO have man, the hot rod too! Now, what is legendary is the price as always TaT
Glenn, ever heard of a clip on mic or a mic boom? Maybe you should ask a guy that works at a studio how to capture the spoken word without looking like someone that's suffering pain, boredom and constipation all at the same time.
Modern Amp builders : vst simulators and amplifiers based on ours harm us as companies that invest years in research Mike Soldano: My amp its the best and its the staring point to many other amps as 5150, rectifiers and others
It was always my understanding that the slo was that much better than the avenger and hot rod because it had the special power transformers... what’s the deal with the SLO30? Does it have the same transformers as the SLO100? What about the power tubes? What are they?
I have a Hot Rod plus for many years / I tested (Mesa,Engl,Marshall,VHT,Rivera etc.) But Soldano is my Amp \m/> MIke is the legend !! Only we need see in wev : Artist used or recording with Soldano amps (wooooo -Clapton , Van Halen ,Gary Moore , Motley , Allman Bros. etc etc !
The SLO100 circuit bears more than a passing similarity to the Marshall 2203/2204. I don’t think Mike can really complain too much about others adapting his circuit further. It’s evolution.
Hi Glen, pleeeease do a blind test of the Soldano SLO vs the Synergy SLO, If you can do the Synergy pass through diferent power amps including the SLO power amp. Keep up the good work, cheers from Portugal.
Glenn, I know this is irrelevant but I really need your help. As a teenager, is there anything I can prepare myself for before I move into the real world and the music industry? Tech tips, Do’s and Don’t’s, etc.? Anything will help. Fuck you very much, have a nice day.
I love that place!! If you get a chance to tour their factory there, you just become a kid in a candy store with all of the amazing products they're making!!
I can only imagine that Glenn didn't realise that Mr Soldano could rattle off so much minutiae without coming up for air 😂 Where are the mic holding dwarves when you need one?
Everyone talking about the watch check. I've seen 3 interviews with Mike all posted the same time and all filmed in that room. He was probably on a time limit and wanted to make sure things were going on schedule. Nothings worse than when you're out of time and you haven't asked your 3 best questions yet.
Interesting that the fx loop is post master volume. I would have thought that would generally be a bad idea, given whenever you turn your MV up you are potentially clipping anything you have in the loop and would have to constantly adjust fx units down the line to compensate. I wonder why he decided to do that.
I still remember the day I bought my first Solano amp and played it. Wow it was everything I ever wanted in an amp and much more. The most fun I ever had with an amp ever.
Wonder how many times has Glenn been upset because someone had an older model and forgot their pedal. Inclusion of on-amp controls was a great upgrade.
