I got it at Hot Licks Guitars, Aiea, HI (where I work) for $2450.00

This is THE amp. It's got a decent clean channel and loads of gain in the driven side. It's running my favorite tubes ... 5881's.

Look at what I paid for it. Do you honestly think I would've bought it at that price if there was something I didn't like about it? Well... it was expensive, but when you hear the sustain from this thing you mortgage your house and rent out your kids.

It's made to endure world wars 3, 4, and 5. A straight ahead amp with loads of tone and sustain, more gain than you could ever need and a killer tech support team to match. Somebody had pulled the effects loop from mine and Mike Soldano himself said send it in and he would rectify that. You don't get that kind of service often. Lifetime transferable warranty. They know they made it good. They are not afraid.

I've gone through tons of amps in my short life in search of that killer tone that couldn't possibly be beat. I played one note through this thing and it went for 15 seconds without losing anything. I thought it was harmonic feed back so I bent it and unbent it several times. In the end I held that beautiful note for a minute fifteen seconds. I was shaking and my heart was racing the rest of the day. I forgot to get my paycheck. My search for the ultimate tone is over. Strat, Les Paul, 5 dollar special, it doesn't matter. This amp makes them all sound like pro instruments.
