    Why i did not keep the Soldano SLO 100

    If I muster the willpower, I will do it. Mine (pinch harmonics) don't sound like yours.

    Why i did not keep the Soldano SLO 100

    Yes it is. You can't please everyone obviously. I thought at first I should record some pinch harmonics to show you how it's done but finally I didn't bother LOL I do have a 90s rev G as well as two 2203s but I still prefer the SLO. There's no accounting for taste, IMHO, YMMV etc.

    Blindtest reveal: Soldano SLO 100 vs Lenz Octane modded Marshall JCM800 2203

    Haha I was wrong although I own both a SLO and a 2203 (but not a Lenz modded one) LOL

    Great tone and playing!

    I did not care about comfort until recently, when I turned 50 and feeling onset of arthritis in my joints. Comfort is the opposite of rebellious and romantic. Being on the road is being an outsider to society. Posting videos on youtube to make a living from your home looks more like conforming...

    Great tone and playing!

    I really wonder what's the appeal of doing youtube videos all day long. I remember as a teenager dreaming of world tours, drugs and naked groupies. this was somehow rebellious and romantic to my young naïve mind. I cannot fathom teenagers of today dreaming of becoming youtubers. The rebellious...

    Great tone and playing!

    Couldn't have said it better. Also, the music made me slightly incomfortable, bit like watching some open heart surgery/procedure video LOL There's a clear Bret Easton Ellis/"American Psycho" ambiance/atmosphere.

    THE Tube Amp

    I wouldn't call a 2203 squishy. I would be more inclined to call tighter amps than the 2203 sterile and solid-statish. It's a matter of taste of course, IMHO/YMMV etc.

    Soldano SLO 100 vs Lenz Octane modded 2203 - Death Metal - Blindtest

    I guess B is the Soldano and A is the modded Marshall but it is so close it's really nitpicking here. The B has slightly more mids and A is slightly more scooped (to my ears, listening with Beyer DT770Pro headphones). Both would do the job fine.

    Shall i give the SLO 100 another try?

    I used no boost for a long time but sometimes a TC Electronic preamp, the old one. Sometimes the green Maxon OD808. Then I've been using a CAJ Smart Buffer with the side gain maxed for the last 10 years. That way the gain is only around 3 or 4 on the lead channel depending on the guitar and the...

    Shall i give the SLO 100 another try?

    The SLO works for death-metal !!! At least it worked well enough for me (and still works although I play less death-metal than before) . Pinch harmonics galore, Chuck Shuldiner style, if that's your thing (I'm also a Zakk fan to tell the truth).

    Understanding intricacies of True Bypass pedals

    Yeah but you can implement it so that the pedal is in bypass when the relay is not powered so in fact it works just like a physical true bypass with a mechanical switch (the relay being a powered mechanical switch anyway).

    Soldano depth mod

    I like the tone, I like the feel under the fingers, the attack, the bounce, I like the headroom, how it cleans up with the volume knob, the way it doesn't fall apart when you turn it up, the voicing with a Les Paul etc. It works for everything. I use it for all styles of music. I played with one...
