IMO no. The Budda is much rounder/warmer. The Soldano has much more cut.

Thanks for reply. Would you say the Budda has more "sag"?

Look at his belly! I'd say so!

My opinion is based on owning a couple SD18s but only having played Atomic/Astroverbs in stores. I don't know that I ever got the Soldanos up to a volume where you'd feel any sag but the Budda has a tube rec where the Soldano doesn't so my guess would be the Budda will be saggier.

IMO they are both very cool amps.
 
The Soldano doesn't have as much gain as you think it should have, I mean it's not bad, but really needs a push.
