Soldano Slo 100 Plexi tones vid!

He worked at Make n Music with Reinhold Bogner

Cool to know, I knew he was modding amps and making racks somewhere along the line before making the BE.
More people mention Jose Areando (sp)? Suffice to say he has a new tax bracket these days right?

This was very early 90`s. Got two of my marshall jmp`s modded by Reinhold. It cost alot to me then $350 each

I find SLO’s in a band mix a little fatiguing on the high end, compared to a Marshall. The top end tends to slice where the Marshall rings. Don’t get me wrong, would love to have a SLO at home to mess around with but it would not be my pick to go rock with a band with what I have already.

Mine usually sounds really good set exactly the way my ears like it. A little too much presence or depth and it can be harsh or not enough mids. When I get it where I like it I'm in tone heaven

Can you or someone else here school me on the different Masrshalls JMP's I suppose that would provide these types of tones or better?
I am not familiar with all the different ones mainly plexi and JCM 800's. It would be nice to actually own a a killer Marshall

Is this what you all are talking about? I need a loop and a MV

Funny no one distinguishes between the crunch channel and the OD ch in the Slo, they just say Slo. Also what Marshall exactly? They are not all the same.
I am boosting the crunch ch which is voiced very different than the OD channel. Part of my frustration with the Slo, however the crunch is a lot more upper mid voiced giving me a lot more string definition and to my ears. Also amazing cut!

What do you mean? The SLO crunch and od channel are voiced to complement each other. Yes, the crunch is designed to cut through the mix with a lot of definition. It's designed to be the rhythm channel. It has more bass definition too. It works great boosted. The od is more focused and designed for single-note leads. It does have less string definition since it has a lot of gain, but still more than most high gain amps.

I tend to run my SLO on the crunch channel with the crunch turned up. I boost it for heavy rhythms. I pull the boost back for more rock rhythms. I roll volume down for cleans. I switch channels for leads.

There are really only two classic Marshall circuits as far as I'm concerned. There's the non-MV 1959 and the MV 2203. (There are the 50W versions of both too, but same preamp and same general sound.) They both sound great. I've owned a number of both of them. Both are higher mid-voiced than the SLO, but not by a lot. I can get the job done with any of them easily.

IMO, not being able to switch the bright cap on the Lead gain control limits that channel in the SLO. There's a ton of gain but if you try to dial it back it gets brighter and thinner...the tone changes quite a bit (it's a fairly large bright cap). I had a 3-way bright switch on my SLO clone (full, half, OFF) and it made a huge difference for me.

FWIW, Warren Haynes runs his SLO on the Lead channel with no bright cap with Gain on like 3-4. That would hurt people if it had the stock bright cap but Warren's tone is def not shrill, quite thick and warm I think.
