    For Sale Soldano SLO, made in Seattle

    Yeah, yours is a Seattle. I think Mike moved back here to the PNW around '94. *Edit: 2018 is the last year of any Soldano product being made in Seattle. The Depth knob does for the low end what the Presence knob does for the high end. It's more noticeable at mid to lower volume levels. Not so...

    For Sale Soldano SLO, made in Seattle

    I've gone thru that exact scenario more than once. I will miss this one because of the depth knob, which really adds to the richness at lower settings. But I'm keeping a couple older Hollywood-mades that'll scratch this itch.

    For Sale Soldano SLO, made in Seattle

    I've decided to sell my mint 2013 Seattle SLO. It was built using the Depth knob chassis, which was an upcharge back then and not too common. It comes with the manual, blank warranty card, and footswitch. I'm in Centralia, WA and have it listed locally on CL for $3900, firm, and no trades. If...

    School me on Bogner amps

    A couple of models way different than anything else he's made that usually fly under search radars are the Brixton (12w) and Panama (4w). Very cool tones out of these little guys.

    Paging Wealthy Van Halen Fans

    Wayne sold out in '78 due to bankruptcy, so this is a 43 yr old Grover Jackson partscaster for $25k? Too funny.

    Bogner Duende 15?

    Sorry, I deleted my post you quoted because you asked if anybody had gigged one. My 10 minutes of play time wasn't really a 'gig'.

    Craigslist Score

    You got that one? Cool. As soon as I saw it on CL, I thought that either you or a few others I know in Portlandia would snag it.

    $4500 Nash relic'd Tokai AFD LP.

    That's probably the worst and funniest exacto knife aging I've ever seen. Nash should stick to partscaster building.

    Sold Soldano SLO, made in Seattle, Haynes & Depth mods

    Excellent condition. Ftsw included. $3800 local. Shipping is OK if buyer covers. When this sells, I'll be listing a couple more Seattle-SLOs. Have a nice day. ***on hold***

    Speaker break in

    One speaker that really does sound different when it's broke in is the Tone Tubby red alnico. A lot of the high end gets reduced, but it stays chewy and full. I bought one a few years ago locally on the cheap because the guy thought the thing had blown. I put it in my grab-n-go Runt 20 combo...

    Soldano again, all I can say is "wow"

    The SLO loop gets brought up a lot, and in a negative light. The best thing I've found (besides using line level pedals and racks) is a custom Egnater box. It knocks the hot effects send signal down to pedal level, patches in a pedal loop, and then boosts it back up to line level for the SLO's...

    Soldano again, all I can say is "wow"

    I recently shared with you guys finding a Hollywood-made Soldano SLO halfstack locally. Now it's gotten weird. Yesterday I picked up another Hollywood SLO locally from a completely different original owner, and it's serial number is one digit lower than my other one. Both amps have travelled...

    Anyone Else Falling Out of Favor with the Alnico Cream?

    I had a couple 2x12's with the Cream Alnicos. That lasted a couple weeks. Dull and flat until pushed hard. Then I mixed one with a Redback in each cab. It was a little more vocal and got along better with the amps. A month later, I found a pair of well-used/broken-in Tone Tubby Reds locally and...

    What rare/obscure amps have you owned?

    Maybe reach out to Vandenberg? He's probably got a a couple racks full of 230v Soldano stuff in storage that he never uses anymore.

    Icons of amp distortion

    My $0.02...a couple high gainers under the radar are the Demeter TGA-3 and the pre-Rocktron Egnater TOL 100.

    New Dumbles?

    You can get a brand new Trainwreck built by JM for the low, low price of $7500. These new Dumbles will probably clock in a little higher than that.

    Go to practice amp

    My practice/grab-n-go is a Runt 20 with a few mods. Dave added a stacked pot for ftsw-able volumes on the dirty channel. He also added a Thump/2nd Master knob; I just use the Thump feature. And then I swapped out the 65w Cream for a very broke-in Tone Tubby red.

    new 1/2 stack day, cat hair included

    Popped off a side handle, shoved the phone inside, and clicked a few pics....older V30's confirmed.

    new 1/2 stack day, cat hair included

    You got me thinking. When I get home tonight I'll pop off the grill, unscrew the bolts, and see what's what.
