Got a chance to play with all 3 amps (SLO30, Astro 20, JEL-20) for about an hour.
No disappointments with any of them after a quick initial comparison.
I made 5 videos comparing the SLO-30 and the Astro 20 that I will load when I get a chance.
I can't honestly say the SLO-30 is better than the Astro 20 or vice-verse.
They are both great amps.
The SLO sounds a bit higher pitched than the Astro 20 in person, it might not show up in the videos.
I ran them through 2 of the same cabs, just different colors.
I need more time, but I do think the 20w JEL and 20w Astro 20 might be a little bit better at low volumes than the SLO-30, but I need more time to say for sure.
After the videos I played with the SLO a bit more and was able to get it to some great tones at lower volumes.
My ears are very sensitive to loud sounds so I need to be able to sound good at low volumes.
