In the late 1980's Mike Soldano took his new guitar amp design to Los Angeles and got it in the hands of the best guitar players of the day. The SLO 100 quickly became one of the go to amps for these session legends like Steve Lukather, Mike Landau, Tim Pierce and many others. To this day the SLO 100 is one of the most versatile guitar amps on the market.

Rhett, it was an honor to talk about an amp that is super important and something, honestly, that I really needed to get my job done as a session guitarist. Great video, and still a great sounding Amp in 2023.... thank you Michael for inventing it:)

@sundaynightdrunk Год назад

I'm always so happy to see you in Rhett's videos, and on your own channel. What an amazing friend for Rhett to have. The video where you help him select his Les Paul taught me so much about choosing a guitar among all the guitars that hang on the wall.

@johnl9617 Год назад

I have heard some great things about Soldono amps, but if we're going to be historically correct, ALL of the LA session players were going to Paul Rivera for mods of their Fender amps and then his own amplifiers long before Soldono. He is a giant and I'm not sure why his amps seem to get overlooked. They cover all of the tones one could ever need...a tone tweaker's dream.

@Tim Pierce Guitar - Do you still have that first SLO you bought?

@kanalualohafeary6129 Год назад

Part of what made soldano amps so loved is Mike himself. Back around 2000, I acquired an early slo100. I was living in Hawaii, and I called Soldano because I had a question about the amp. I don't even remember what the question was. Mike looked up the serial number and realized my amp was from before he added the effects loop. He offered to add it for free if I paid shipping. I didn't even ask for it. I didn't know it was an option. That's service. He went above and beyond. Best experience I've ever had on a service call. He is just beyond cool. Mike, we love and respect you, brother. Thanks for sharing your new find, Rhett. These amps deserve all the love.

@erikvaldur3334 Год назад

Fantastic service. I've owned numerous Soldano amps throughout the years and called them many times. Mike and Bill Sundt typically helped me with any questions I had, even regarding used amps I had bought. I don't have any experience with anyone else from the company but those two were so helpful and friendly. Every amp I've owned from them was smokin in their own rights.

@bradpoland8087 Год назад

In October of 1985 Mike brought that “breadboard” prototype amp over to test on my 1982 Marshall anniversary cabs for a comparison here in Seattle. I was a typical 80’s metal player into the high gain but also played clean, but with celestions the clarity of his amp was not noticeable at first. I used my iceman with PAFs and Mike was really excited about what he was hearing from his amp, so much that he said right then “he’s going to relocate to Cali and pursue building an amp while working at Stars Guitars in S.F. He completed making my Soldano double neck which was his last guitar and went full on in the amp biz. I’m so happy for Mike’s success cuz he’s a really great guy and friend of high quality, just like everything he creates!🤘💜

So when Micheal S was developing this amp at the time he was my cousins guitarist stage tech and had Modded his Marshall’s at the time. We did a show together and I asked him to Mod my XB100 and he laughed at me and said there’s literally nothing I could do to that amp and make it sound any better. Saw at NAMM in 2019 and he remembered telling me that back in 1987.

@JacobSmith-zc2vq 3 месяца назад

Can you clarify……. He said that meaning the xb100 was great in itself or meaning they were shiite? That was my backup head for years that got me out of a few jams when my dsl 100 took a shit on me right before gigs. I loved that old carvin.

@phillamoore157 Год назад

That SLO30 sounds VERY good too. I owned both, and the only time you heard the difference was side-by-side. I didn’t need a 100w amp, so I went with the 30. Anyone who thinks the 30 doesn’t have the signature sound, watch a video from a guy by the name of “Cragginshred”. He gives a clinic on how to get the SLO signature plexi, hard-rock sound, this amp was designed around.

@ThePurpleFuzzMachine Год назад

Excellent mixing job! I love how you can hear the distinction between the rhythm and lead guitars and all that space in the middle of the bass and drums. Insightful information about the origins of soldano too. This is one of the main channels I always get excited about when I see that a new video has been uploaded. Thank you Rhett for what you do!

@IamMusicNerd Год назад

What kills me about the Soldano is the clean channel. Everyone talks about the lead channel, and for good reason. But the clean channel is incredible.

I purchased an SLO 100 last year. No regrets! You did a great job Rhett covering the various tonality of the amp, showing that it's not just a hard rock or metal amp. One of the other amazing things about the 100 is that you really don't have to crank the master volume to get a great sound, but if you do, it remains tight and focused. Shout out to Mr. Pierce, always great hearing from him.

@Brudnlaw67 Год назад

That’s a great amp and a great video Rhett! Thanks to Michael for making it and I can’t wait to see that 30 watt combo version!

@FStoppers Год назад

I own the Hod Rod 25 which came out right before Mike retired. It’s design is almost like a mini SLO but came out a few years before the 30. It’s a beast and sounds so good at lower volumes. I had a hunch that your opening jam was in in open G and then your twice as hard riff confirmed it. Great video! -P

@BillySoundFarm Год назад

What a great video. Man you really put the work in and it was worth it. Especially how you leveraged your personal network to get more value to the audience. Bravo.

@frankenstein4106 Год назад

SLO 30 owner here, and it is by far my #1 amp! I live on the crunch channel boosted with a pedal into a 2x12! When I bought it the guy ringing me up at the shop said another guy who worked there was going to be bummed, since it was the only one they had, and he loved playing thru it!!

Love to hear the studio guys talk about the history of all this stuff..that rack era is so inspiring as a guitarist, the Wild West of tone chasing..so cool!! As a millennial I’m so jealous..those 80s multi channel rack preamps capture the essence of what’s so great about guitar, super crystalline cleans - the purity of the instrument in parallel to destructive ear piercing high gain..perfection! Great content Rhett, keep it up! I entered into the sweepstakes, im super interested in that amps course too - hopefully this era will be another 80s style guitar renaissance!

@FrankWarrick Год назад

I am a drummer by trade (but I still love your videos btw) and I have recorded with guitarists using many different amps/pedals/preamps ect.... and when I heard the 100 w SLO it blew my mind. Whether its recorded or in the room with it, for my ear, its the best amp around. Great Video!

Amazing high gain, crunch and clean sounds. I got a SLO30 about a year ago and couldn’t be happier with it. I put a Strymon el-Capistan through the fx loop for delay and reverb, plug straight in the front with the guitar and there it is, ‘that’ sound my ears have been trying to find for over 30 years! Couldn’t be happier with it.

@skidogbill Год назад

I met Mike in the mid ‘80s when he had a little shop in Hollywood. I brought my Boogie Mark 3 over to compare to his amp. He was very friendly and accommodating. I dialed in his amp for a while and we A/Bed it with my Boogie. I liked his, but as I recall I concluded it could sound very similar to the Boogie (which I loved). Anyway, I didn’t buy his, but it was a good experience. Over the years, I was happy to see his success.

The greatest thing about the SLO is the fact you can treble boost the high gain channel and still roll down the volume knob and get almost clean that sounds amazing. Gary Moore, Blues Alive, start of separate ways….wow!

@johnwilliamson467 Год назад

mike S shows the benefit of pure R+D not constrained a small budget . Really pure science in the truest sense . Luck in building some thing other than you drawn that worked . Then a good promoter after a product is made . A rare gift of doing pure research . It is good to see Mike was rewarded for his work .

I do wonder how many amp techs like Mike S there were in the 80s, modding and building amps, who came up with something equally novel and unique but we never heard of because they never built something for someone famous?

@StratMatt777 9 месяцев назад

Psst! Don't tell anyone, but the Astroverb and Atomic are based on the SLO's Crunch channel. Here's an email reply I got from Bill Sundt in 2002: "The reverb-o-sonic and the astroverb are both based on the 'normal' channel circuit of the SLO. The SLO has a clean/crunch switch for this channel. The reverb-o-sonic's two channels are basically these two, clean and crunch. The astroverb is basically the crunch channel. Neither has the super high gain overdrive circuit. The HR50+ has the overdrive and the crunch. All of these respond very well to backing off the guitar volume knob to clean up the sound. The lucky 13 has the soldano overdrive channel and a fender style clean channel. bill sundt"

I went to see Sydney band Cog at the old Newtown RSL in about late 2002 or so. I can't remember the name of the support act but their guitarist had a snakeskin SLO 100. Even back then these were pretty expensive and rare in Australia and it was the first and only time I've ever seen one in the wild. He was soundchecking when I first walked in and it was hands down the best raw guitar sound I'd ever heard. Over 20 years later and I can still hear it in my head...
