Best Recorded and Live Soldano Tones

[MirrorProfiles]

I bet Mike a uttered a few choice words when Peavey released the 5150

I dig the SLO, but the 5150 and Dual Rectifier are superior amps.

Do you have link @Stone ? I'm curious about it now. Some of my favorite tones on that album too.

No just what i read on the rig talk link Im also trying to find out and yes same here some of my Fav tones from Satch are on the extreimist
But Think Joe has use so many amps at so many differnt times it might be hard to find out lol

Dang, I thought for sure I read an interview from back then Joe stating using some Peavey amp too for that album.
It stuck with me, but Joe would know better! (I hope).

I still stand by my recollection that he also used a classic 50 amp. I think Joe forgot.

 

[DrewJD82]

Joe's also used the same 5150 block letter on every album since it's release!

He might have. I’m just going by what he wrote in his biography. I reckon it’d be hard to remember every detail from those sessions.

Thanks, @norminal
I'm kind of surprised he even had time to use a mesa dual rec head for Extremist considering it just came out a bit earlier that year. He had to be almost wrapped up with recording by then I would think? Of course he could have gotten one before official release too I suppose. But all this goes to show is Satch can play through whatever and sound like... Satch. Weird!

I was replying specifically to the "and contributing to the development of the Soldano SLO-100." part, which isn't the case.

The *impact* of Eddie's brown sound revolution from 78' - 84' impacted the Marshall mod community in ways that definitely contributed, not directly per say, more than any other player before or after

Indeed. And the irony of it being a 99% stock plexi all the time.!

Except for the Variac , but yes Mike Soldano has said it was Bone stock when Eddie gave it to him for a tune up

And the variac doesn't really change the tone much at all either. Just an amp screaming for mercy with every know on 10 and a pair of magic hands!

@norminal, What about Crystal Planet?
