Soldano Hot Rod 25 - SOLD
Excellent condition head in custom purple tolex. This is a Seattle-built amp and the last of Mike Soldano's original designs. Considered by many to be a mini SLO, this head has several improvements over other original Soldano heads—notably, low-noise DC preamp tube heaters and a pedal-friendly effects loop! It also has oversized Onetics transformers dialed down to 25 watts which make it the biggest sounding mini amp around.
Really a great sounding and superbly built amp. Includes hard-to-find footswitch, footswitch cable and power cable.
This amp has only very minor wear and is in perfect working order.
Manufacturer Description
To celebrate a quarter century of building fine guitar amps Soldano Custom Amplification has made the Hot Rod 25 tube amp head. Like their Hot Rod 50 Plus and Hot Rod 100 Plus, the preamp circuitry is based on the legendary Soldano 100W Super Lead Overdrive. The power section utilizes two 6L6 power tubes and a filter choke in the power supply-two features usually found only in higher powered amps-that enable this compact little 25-watt head to deliver much tighter bass and punchier low end than most other amps in its class.
The Hot Rod 25 also features a tube-buffered, post-master volume effects loop and effortless channel switching via foot switch between the Normal and Overdrive Channels. There are independent Preamp gain and Master Volume controls for each channel. Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence controls provide the tone shaping. A rotary Impedance selector switch allows for the use of 4, 8 or 16 ohm speaker cabinets.
