Alright this is cool as shit: Soldano is bringing back the X88R Preamp

[JR-OZ]

I wonder how it would sound with my Strategy 400?

I'm in and then I would break this out also! 400 or 500 and i would run this one side slo pre-amp and something other different on the other Total Slutness

Reported.

Just kidding! That would be awesome!

I’d be in for this, but knowing Soldano, the price would be out of my budget.

Since the SLO is 4K, I'm guessing this will be around 2K.

I mean the tech is at least 30 years old at this point, nowhere near as cutting edge as it used to be. There have got to be plenty more people out there who know how to build preamps that use digitally controlled resistors integrated with analog circuitry.

Tech21 NYC; I had a PSA 1.1, and now have a PSA 2.0. analog circuit, digital control. ISP is coming out with a new Michaell Sweet analog preamp pedal...Mesa JP-2C has MIDI control...

...plenty of people making analog circuits with digital control.

I may need to keep my Engl E850/100 power amp

 

[LPMojoGL]

I thought I remember the el34 power amps were a favorite with the original rack soldanos?

The VHT Classic, for example - at least with those LA Studio guys

How Mezzabarba that would be.
Or, how that, Mezzabarba is?

I wonder if this pre into the power section of a Friedman 100w would sound similar to the SLO or Mzero

Slutness

Now THAT'S a cool word.

i’m guessing in the $3k range minimum considering what the used ones have sold for:

heck, new fulltone TERC chorus units are going for $4k

Wow!
I guess when I list my Morin pre at some point, I'll ask for more than what I was thinking. Only 18 made...I'd imagine there are more 88s out there than that.

 

[BackCrack]

Should have never sold mine and the matching 2150...

It was an awesome sounding rig, but Christ on a crutch, that was a heavy rack.

 

[Spaceboy]

if this is priced reasonably im all over it

 

[JB6464]

Bring back the rackmount SLO100 !

Ah... So he didn't go out of business after all. Looks like he just moved to Tennesse and now sells direct and doubled his prices.

 

[wIsEbLooD]

Kind of wish it was a straight up reissue like bogner did with the fish.
But I'm in. lol

That would be "do-able"

 

[napalmdeath]

I'm guessing $3k.

 

[Bxlxaxkxe]

My official guess is 2499

They read the forums too. If we all openly speculate what the cost will be it can be used against us. The prices if what made this fun has been replaced by greed, let's just see what happens. Hopefully the metric of it being half the entire slo will drive the cost.

if they could keep it in the ballpark of the recent ie4 reissue, that would be reasonable.
