I agree, but at the same time, if the tone in your head is nailed by a 5153, or a jcm 800 or a dsl, or... then the money is already well spent. I've had a couple soldano SLO, and there are certain things I like about them, but overall they're not for me. Same with some friedmans. I've...
I Heard an interview from one of rats producers, talked about kn tour watten demartini went to every store he could and bought heads and cabs. He had around 20 half stacks and he spent a few studio days going through them all. On the second day, the producer had his tech sneak in his old amp...
From soldano...
About the transfomers:
The transformers of the new SLO-100 are hand wound, one at a time, by Magnetic Compoments using the exact same specs as the Deyoung ones (which are no longer available). Magnetic Compoments did an amazing job on these and they deserve the recognition...
Everyone I've read about at namm says it sounds just like the old ones. Seen interviews where mike says he likes the new ones better as it's got changes hes wanted to make forever. Sounds like the SLO will live on.
I dont sit around liste.ing to any you tube videos, but I do like when I google search a piece of equipment and find a good video of a co.parison. personally. I like andertons videos, they're cheesy. But they're english.. and they usually do have a pretty good representation of the gear...
Marshall super lead. But a jcm 800 works pretty awesome too. And if you need to drop the volume and get a really good clean you can use the low input plus pedals and it's pretty amazing.
I like the mythical overdrive a lot, and even if it's not exact I like the j rockett archer Rockaway pedal, can really make some pretty cool changes with it.
If you're looking for a cheap delay, a clone, this one is pretty good. Friend has one, and a mad professor or whatever it is they copied and it sounded close. I didnt mess with it much, but he's really happy with it.

I have a dsl 50 and dsl 100. Other guitarist in my band has 2 50 watt and a 100, The 100 is louder, but theres not a lot of difference between the two in tone. A slightly bigger low end, but not enough to notice at the same volume. We've played them side by side on stage, and the 50...
Clip sounds great and I agree completely. While I dont like.the lead od2, the red channel sounds awesome on the dsl. If it has JJ el34 and 12ax7 tubes in it you'll probably hate it because they suck the life.out of tone.
Dont use the mid cut switch it sucks. Use the bass boost, but...
