Best Recorded and Live Soldano Tones

[TSJMajesty]

Prince in the 90's, I believe.

 

[Blix]

Also Extreme's Three sides to a Story is a Soldano SL-60, I would assume its got plenty SLO DNA in it.

 

[2112]

John Norum Face the Truth album. Not using the lead channel though, crunch mode with a Marshall Guv'Nor IIRC.

This is one of my favorite albums, didn't know it was a Soldano!

These two are what made me get into the Soldano sound;

 

[riffy]

I will warn you, the SLO is a LOUD amp.

Mr Scary can see his Soldanos in the back
Wicked playing

How did I forget George and the 1st Lynch Mob Album??

 

[Eagle]

Mark Knopfler in the 80s used one live. Basically when he started using gain on some tunes.

 

[James Freeman]

Can anyone mention great metal bands with memorable tone who recorded with a Soldano?

 

[Stone]

Eddie Van Halen and Michael Soldano's relationship was a significant one in the history of guitar amplification, with Eddie using Soldano amplifiers extensively and contributing to the development of the Soldano SLO-100. Eddie's involvement with Soldano led to the creation of amps like the 5150, which were influenced by the Soldano SLO-100

Do you need More Enabling GAS Dave ?

Ahh no was not responding to James rather aimed more at enabling Dave

[Funk Soul Brother]

These guys from Maryland had two brothers that played PRS (they knew Paul) into Soldano SLOs, one on lead with just a DigiTech RP2000?, the other on rhythm plugged directly into the SLO, no FX:



Vocals + Horn are by Phil Ritchie, you might remember him from Rockstar Supernova...

It's a shame they didn't get their "break", used to hang with them when they'd bounce into Gotham for shows.
Great energy, loud as hell, you could still hear the drummer over the screamin' amps

Once the brothers got pissed @ Phil, the greatness faded quick, this is the brothers' last album & tracks 2-4 are my favorite (the whole album rocks, sounded better/bigger *live*), be sure to give it a listen

I wish I could go back to 2002, what a great time to go see up & coming *new* talent!

WTF happened

 

[2112]

Actually impressed at how many of my favorite albums have some SLO sauce






One of my personal favourite tones I've tracked was using the JCA50, which we ended up preferring for this track over my Hot Rod 50.

There’s surprisingly few given the reputation of the amp. This is one of the only ones I REALLY like:

WTF is that guy doing with a Bigsby equipped Les Paul.?????








Mathias makes me want a Marshall, because all of the tones the Scorps
are most known for, and which he slayed on are with Marshalls.

This thread is just going to push me back home again.

Whoa! Jet City Woman before Jet City Amps?? Seattle never fails.

Thanks, LT!

Seems like everyone owned a Soldano back then.
Be a rebel @la szum and DON'T get one. I dare you.

For me, I can't recall a single EVH tone in the 1990s that topped what Eddie coaxed out of Marshalls
in the 1970s and 80s.

Sorry, Eddie.

I'd love to know the changes in amp design and topology that differentiated a Soldano from a
Marshall.
