  • Soldano Atomic 16
    « King Soldano »

    Soldano is one of those companies that has a reputation of style, elegance, and raw emotion. Their amps are built to rock an ti even says that on the foot switchers that come with the amps. Their amps are built to rock and that they do quite well. Soldano build hot rodded amps for those wanting a british flavor tone with a hot rodded preamp and power amp sections. These amps all started with the SLO and them branched off to create many more tone machines. It all started back in the 89's when Mike started getting his amps in the hands of just about every hair metal guitarist on the Sunset Strip. Late he moved to Washington State and that is wen the company really started to take flight. Soldano amps are king! UTILIZATION This is a single channel hot rod monster amp. You get 15 watts of power and simple front panel layout. You have preamp gain, bass, middle, treble, volume, and presence. There isn't much to figure out with these set of simple control knobs. This amp is easy to dial in a usable tone. The amp itself is already a great sounding amp not matter where you have the dials but it just makes it easier to dial it in to your favorite guitar. SOUNDS With a Soldano amp you get an immense amount of usable tone and gain. They are known for having over the top gain that is usable in every band mix. Sometimes too much gain get lost behind the band but the way the Soldano's are voiced makes them so much better at riving the music rather than laying back. I love the way this amp sound with a Charvel or a superstrat of some kind. The two just go hand in hand. You need a brighter voicing guitar with the Soldano because they have so much lower mid gain that you need to balance them out a little more with a an alder or maple wood guitar. Certainly a mahogany will do wonders but I prefer the tone of the lighter wood with the SOldano amps. OVERALL OPINION I believe these amps were discontinued back a few years ago. You can still find them in the classifieds and on forums if you look hard enough. These aren't as popular as the SLO or the Hot Rod series from Soldano. But they are definitely out there and can be snatched pi relatively cheap. If you are looking for a great sounding rock machine that is only one channel then this might be your bag. If you need multiple channels then a Blackstar might be up your ally.

  • Soldano Avenger
    iamqman's review

    The Soldano Avenger is a lead channel version of the SLO-100 amp. It is a single channel amp with a high and low gain input. The amp puts outs some heavy saturation that is very thick and chewy. It is a very huge sounding amp that gets pretty heavy with a Marshall style voicing and saturation. One thing I love about Soldano's are that they are still manufactured by one tech from start to finish. Though the company has grown to great success they still keep it within house for close detailed operation. UTILIZATION Soldano Avenger 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head Features: * 100W head with the SLO 100 Overdrive Circuit Single Channel Simplified Signal Path For Improved Dynamic Response No Effects Loop Or Extraneous Wiring Preamp Gain/Master Gain For Overdrive At Lower Volumes Three Band EQ (Bass, Mid, And Treble) Presence Control Depth Control Boosts Low End Selectable Impedance Switch; 4, 8, Or 16-Ohm High And Low Gain Inputs 5881/6L6 Power Tubes SOUNDS The Soldano sound is very huge and thick sounding. They have a distinct chewy fat distortion that they are well known for having. This amp can get a great rock and metal tone that stays tight even at lower dropped tuning and 7 and 8 string guitars. You can dial in some great 80's metal/rock tones very easily with this amp. You will need to open up the presence and the mids more since this amp is lower midrange heavy in nature. The think just sings great sustain and drive that makes playing very fun. OVERALL OPINION When I first played a Soldano I was unsure of how to get a good tone, but with some tweaking I started to hear what was so special about these amps. They are naturally fat and chewy which separates them from normal Marshall JCM 800. The 800 can be a little thinner and more higher midrange. This amp I actually a little more than the Soldano SLO beause it already comes with the depth control knob. The SLO you have to get it modified with that extra control. I don't think someone should ever have to modify a $3000+ guitar amp. These units come in at around $1800 which is a great price for a high gain boutique amplifier. I would recommend anyone who needs s simple single channel British flavored hard rock amp. Under $2000 for something of this caliber is very enticing.
