Jusr curious the positive(player)and the negative(player) of the Soldano SLO 100, The BS I read on forums about the Soldano SLO 100 this amp can do it all, from Van Halen 1 to what ever I mean, really …….wtf
 
It’s been around for forty years, there must be a hundred YouTube videos on it, why not check them out and decide for yourself?
 
Really I have, the amp
Smokes it’s what a angry Marshall should sound like
 
What’s crazy all the bs like it’s this and that, it’s the perfect amp it does it all. Mike Soldano is like the Einstein of amps and I’ve played amps that were modded by the so called amp wizards
 
It smokes a Marshall that’s for sure and I’ve been a Marshall nut for ages

Ok this is r/t…let’s get specific:

Pre-fame single digit prototypes
80s LA single digit serial number?
80s LA serial number?
90s Seattle serial number?
00 and beyond serial number?
BAD revised serial number?

I mean we really need to decide which SLO we’re talking about because the tone is SOOOOOOOO different between the versions
 
I had one for a month, then on it went. I am sure it was special in 89. But it is two tiers down from the best amps out there now.

It would be more accurate to say you could force it to do all genres than it does them all. One thing it has going for it vs a marshall is being smooth. But i believe bogner, cameron, friedman all did the smooth marshall sound better and friedman did a lot better loop.
 
It's cool for what it is. Sort of a fatter plexi style on the crunch mode that takes a TS without getting too honky and thin, and a nice, rich lead channel. Never really caught on for the metal crowd, which is perfectly understandable but also where a lot of the confusion comes in. Back in the day it was mostly session guys and rock players that gravitated to it, I would say.
