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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

No smoke smell. Just feline foliage on the grill.

It popped up on the local CL last weekend. Head and cab are from '91, made in Hollyweird. Picked up head and cab for $1k less than what I paid for my last Seattle-made head alone. Seller did not know what he had. It does have a slightly different tone than my other one, I think. It's been around...

The problem is using the wrong pore filler process with the low-plasticizer nitro lacquer. This was told to Gibson by about a half dozen well known luthiers who were refinishing these R9's when it first started happening. Of course, that fell on deaf ears because Gibson & Murphy think they know...

Gibson is just being fricking Gibson with their reissue marketing mentality I wish Ford & Chevy would wake up to this and reissue some old trucks. Carburators, analog everything, thicker sheet metal, 3-on-the-tree, blah, blah, blah. Ok, rant over. Where's my damn coffee....

Yup. Plain jane northern hard ash, and kinda heavy. This is what Lynn Ellsworth told me and a few buddies decades ago. We were at the Boogie Bodies shed to buy some necks.

If you see a white sticker label on the back of the speaker or the side of the magnet with the number "50" printed somewhere on it, that number means "Made in China".

This thread is on an amp forum, and it's about players getting together and jamming on a bunch of cool amps, right?

Yeah, but we gots great beer AND coffee.

I can bring a Seattle-SLO, a Metro-BE100, a couple cabs, Gibson R7 & R8, some beers...

I think Rig-Talk'rs up here in the left corner (Seattle-Portland) need to gather and let the tubes breathe.
