MasterThatGear! - Soldano Astroverb 16 1x12 Combo (Part 1)

[@joeykelly5642]

Major props to you for providing an extremely informative and thorough demo...over 8 years ago! Most gear reviewers STILL have trouble covering a variety of settings. Excellent playing, too!

[@mastertheguitar]

Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to check out this vintage vid ;)

[@amkboxer]

OUTSTANDING clean tone, and seems to have a fair amount of headroom for an EL84 amp.

[@mastertheguitar]

I have a SSH+ in the bridge and two V60s in middle and neck position, all stock from Suhr. The SSH+ is a medium-high output humbucker and the V60s more vintage voiced single-coils. HTH :)

[@Rokalias]

Are the pick ups (bridge single coil) fairly stock wind or a a bit hotter .. Considering one of these and talked with Mike about one dialed in for my needs .. so, need to know if stock or colder strat PUPs will still give me close to what I hear in your video ? However, I will go with a Head unit so I can use different cabs for my needs. Excellent job on the demo showing the amps capabilities !!

[@avskrap]

The best thing about this amp is that it goes to eleven. \m/ indeed, Mark.

[@mastertheguitar]

Yeah pretty it's a great wee amp for getting though high gain sounds, nice and crisp. For more bottom end though would need to run an extra cab IMO

[@onpsxmember]

hey marc, i watched so much of your stuff with your help i did a huge step forward the movement of your right hand is fantastic is it possible that you tape a lil camera on one of your guitars so i can see how you touch the strings? who about a lesson to play more fluent? or to reconnect the seperate parts without hearable gaps?

[@mastertheguitar]

@TheRealRayJ Yeah the Master is very useful, you lose some bottom end but perfectly good gain at the lower volumes

[@chuckelator]

I love what I'm hearing...Gain goes as high as I think I'd ever need. Versitality in my opinion has nothing to do with the number of channels. Learn to use that volume knob on your guitar and it will clean up quite nicely!!

[@mastertheguitar]

@bubbleabee Oh I still use my other guitars as they offer different options but the Suhr is my #1 :)

[@chuckelator]

About 10:30 in it almost sounds like Among the Living era Anthrax tone in my opinion. Gnarly!

[@DavidBrown-it9ig]

Very good demo! Covered a lot. Some demo musicians just play their "thing" and show no diversity.

[@mastertheguitar]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@d3reilly]

"...up to eleven, because all Soldano amps to go up to eleven.....yeah." great!

[@lespaulem]

Thanks for the video!

[@javiceres]

Yer rock.

[@maximco1050]

Are Astroverb considered as boutique amps? Point to point? handmade?

[@CesarThrashMetal]

cool amp

[@TheFlyingTaco72]

Can this amp with a tube screamer do some metal like rust in peace ???

[@teemunknee]

@d3reilly That's the first thing I noticed on when I got mine lol

[@ZeroToleranc3]

That's a pinch harmonic. There are a few good videos on youtube about how to do them.

[@loveguitars]

5 Stars

[@74LesPaul]

Loud enough to gig with unmiked?

[@centraliafuckcorruption]

Kirk Hargreaves get a radial engineering jdx box and put a super overdrive in the front, plug it into a greenback 4x12 and you have a setup that slays

[@uva2323]

@BrasilGuitar that crunch chanel on the dsl sucks
