Soldano SLO 100 - yay or nay for modern high gain?

[Simon Dorn]

Bitch pickers need “metal” amps to get metal tones because their hands didn’t practice on ”non-metal” amps such as the SLO and, this one especially cracks me up, JCM 800s. I can get metal tones out of an accordian.

With the right boost... hell yeah. Sounds great!

If you need a boost with it

 

[Alpha Stryke]

Sure for $5000.

Modern High Gain.......NO BOOST

I’m not sure who your dig is at, but there are plenty of amps that are good that are not on any albums or being used by good bands. Fryette stuff comes to mind, I’m sure there are other examples.

A couple of people on this thread have already said they could cop the metal tones they want using the SLO. That’s good enough for me, but it was not the tone I was looking for.

There was also a good clip of someone using the amp, whose recording prowess was similar to my own skills.

The SLO was also on one kickass KSE album as someone pointed out. That’s again good enough for me.

So why do you want to control people and impose your views? People like what people like, no need to try and belittle them.

Mudvayne was VHT. Helmet, too.
