Soldano Mini SLO Head

[@SirVicc]

Love the demo. I'll be getting one of these. Probably the only way I'll ever have Soldano on something besides a t-shirt or hat.

[@notmars1313]

Sell a kidney and you’ll get one 👍🏼

[@rangerdoc1029]

Same. First Soldano that I can afford.

[@DanLeggatt]

🤣 Same for me, don’t worry! It’s a really cool little amp!

[@SDisonYT]

I wish it had a clean channel on it, but other than that, it sounds way better than the other mini amp versions I have tried. It’s really good for only $200.

[@epfrisco8910]

6:23 cold sweat thin lizzy! best review of this amp on youtube, im sold!

[@robertlove7607]

Dan, great video... Can you share or show how you set up the HX stomp to get that EVH tone?

[@tootory9506]

Great demo? BIG QUESTION how are we hearing this? Are you micing it through a vintage 30 Celestion? What microphone are you using? Ect please Thanks again ..

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Glad that Soldano released an affordable amp. Sounds good for solid state but I still would prefer the 30 watt tube amp slo amp in spite of higher cost. Good to see Soldano, Diezel, and Friedman releasing affordable small solid state amps for the non wealthy guitar players out there. Waiting for Bogner to do the same.

[@CroneRaven1810]

But Bogner has the ecstasy mini. He showed it on his shelf or do you mean something else?

[@1970borntorun]

I love it! it's got that killer, George Lynch 80's crunch tone we all know and love ;)

[@Ray-um3if]

Hi Dan, another great demo with some awesome playing. A little high gain for my taste but you make it sound fantastic. I love what you you did with the effects send to the HX Stomp !!!!! Thought EVH had started playing in windows media player !?!? Thanks for the info on the PT100, cheers Ray.

[@DanLeggatt]

🤣 Definitely not! Budget EVH! Really fun little amp though. Thanks mate 🙏

[@tootory9506]

Because this is a solid-state amp, can you turn it on without a speaker plugged into it?

[@whiteroom2773]

Phenomenal sound from such a small amp :o Thanks for another excellent demo Dan!

[@DanLeggatt]

Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@lukather1]

With these being solid state could you run them into another power amp ! 🤔

[@juliodefreitas157]

Awesome video and an awesome micro 30watt soldano ❤ I just want one..

[@christophersinisi1109]

Daddy might need to treat himself to a Soldano Mini 30!!!!

[@edbauer8790]

I agree and just ordered....i mean it’s the cost of a good pedal 🤘

[@rangerdoc1029]

Needs more purple. I'm on it.

[@Bret_Sanor]

I think it would be quite the tone to have all 4 of these mini series amps going at the same time. They all offer a great high gain voice.

[@julianotaday2]

Tem footswith?

[@dangolguitartech]

This is my first time viewing your channel and I can honestly say that this is the best demo of this I have seen. I was very excited about these when I first heard about them but every other review I’ve seen has been lacking, so I was still on the fence… I think your demo of this just help me make my decision and I’ll be picking one of these up. Thanks very much and all the best!

[@DanLeggatt]

Thank you. Glad the video was helpful for you 👍

[@dustinstark6455]

the bogner mini amp maybe even sounds better check dat out dude

[@robertdamron898]

What about the sound/tone. Of an SLO Mini throw an Line 6 HD-100. Bypassing the Preamp And only power amping the Bogner. Power amp I really should Map it all. Out. First.

[@billknudson7895]

Thank you for demonstrating this little wonder using all six strings, most of your guitar’s frets, and for displaying versatility and skill in your playing. It’s a breath of fresh air. Your Les Paul sounds tremendous. Got my SLO Mini a few weeks ago, and I love it. It’s one of the best out-of-the-box amps I’ve ever played through. Excellent work all the way around!

[@Satchafunkilus]

totally sufficient to hone those midnight chops, licks n squeals in the bedroom. This amp cooks. It's on my shopping list!

[@withinthewoods6408]

Any thoughts on how this would compare to the Synergy Soldano SLO preamp?

[@dimebagtribute]

I can't use mine as a power amp by using the return fx loop jack, I don't know if it's mine that is faulty or if all are the same?! For example are you able to inject a modeler into the fx return and only use the power section? I'm curious...🤔

[@5150show]

Rock on 🤘

[@renevanderbruggen731]

Hi Dan - how did you record the Soldano ? Thanks a lot for this great video !!!

[@DanLeggatt]

Straight into a TwoNotes Captor, can’t remember the exact IR but likely Greenbacks

[@Widdy5150]

That EVH tone was killer! Where do you plug it into on the stomp please? 🥳

[@Widdy5150]

@@DanLeggatt oh, easy as that?!!! 🤣🥳

[@gtrman69777]

I would love to see a comparison between this and the Bogner. I wonder how this sounds with a drive pedal in front of it.

[@rangerdoc1029]

Rabea did a side-by-side with his SLO & it was damn close. It took a boost as nicely as the real thing.

[@DanLeggatt]

I’ll see what I can do at a later date with regards to a comparison and pedals 👍

[@TheChicagoTodd]

I think they hit a home run with this one.....here in the states Sweetwater is sold out already!

[@rkseventyfour]

Nice VH sounds! Do you mind to share your detune setup in the Line6 HX stomp? Thx

[@DanLeggatt]

My HX stomp is on the road at the moment so can’t check but I will try and remember to check next time it’s in my possession 👍

[@simonwest8338]

[@shyboy2112]

This better than the mini BE?

[@DanLeggatt]

Both really great, just depends on your taste.

[@CosmicNed]

Great demo & awesome playing too… sounds totally killer & i’m getting one to just to use as an overdrive pedal!

Thanks for the demo. I just ordered one from Sweetwater. You demonstrated the exact tone I have been wanting from an amp.

Nice! ....any more profiles coming out from your camp?

[@DanLeggatt]

Stay tuned, finalising some releases starting later this month 👌

[@jonthorsigmunds]

This sounds so good for what it is! I’m grabbing one for the office rig to run with my HX Stomp. How do you rate the SLO in relation to the other mini heads?

[@DanLeggatt]

I like them all but Bogner & Soldano are my favourites for my style. The Bogner is probably more more versatile and tweakable. However, this just does ‘that thing’. I enjoyed it right out of the box with everything set straight up.

[@danc3746]

Can you use these mini amps as a preamp into a tube power amp? Guitar-->Mini amp main input-->Mini amp FX send-->Tube power amp FX return-->Tube power amp to 2x12 cabinet.

[@DanLeggatt]

Good thought, guess it’s possible! I’ve been told they are safe to run without a load so there’s no reason it shouldn’t work.

[@danc3746]

@@DanLeggatt Yup, I got one and tried it, sounds better that way, but I still returned the amp, just wasn't for me.

Very kind words man, thank you 👍

Great demo. Love your guitar man. I had a 1992? 93? Same color. Loved it. Traded it for a strat, and wish I hadn't. Love ur playing man.

Thank you! Mine is a later model - 2007. I’ve mad a few videos about it if you are interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHrPmat3ZrSBarc

[@jeffhutchins6874]

I'll be watching them! My current Lester is an 81'Tokai Love Rock. But I wish I still had that old Studio.

[@wolfganghuber3616]

That sounds really cool, also the settings with the Helix stomp. But what speaker did you use in this Victorycab under the SLO mini?

[@DanLeggatt]

I wasn’t using the Victory cab for this demo. The sound in this video is an IR of a Celestion V30 👍

[@wolfganghuber3616]

@@DanLeggatt Ok, so you used the FX out direct into the IR? No Poweramp simulation?

[@danpena7922]

Sounds cool. I hate the hissing white noise though

[@DanLeggatt]

It has no more background noise than any other high gain amp. You might be hearing some from the talkback mic or if you are listening on a phone, it compresses the audio at higher volumes.

[@rante1318]

I am yet to try but I’ve been asked a few times so I’ll aim to shoot a video

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Played thru a Soldano SLO-30 yesterday and really enjoyed it. But then when I got home, I was anxious to hear how it compared to my Mezzabarba MZero amp. No contest the Mezzabarba destroys the SLO in every way from harmonics, tone, note clarity and so forth. A Soldano SLO 100 is same price as my Mezzabarba MZero. Love the Soldano but since I already have a Mezzabarba the tones are too close for me to buy a Soldano unless I sell my Mezzabarba amp. Would love to try a Diezel amp though.

[@shredaintdead9323]

[@rccampbell460]

Great Demo Dan

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers!

[@scottdunn2178]

IMO the 2nd best sounding of the 4 models. I have to give the Bogner a slight edge tho, it's more versatile and cleans up a little better than the SLO.

[@jefferybarnett2073]

This still sounds better for what it’s meant for!

[@scottdunn2178]

@@jefferybarnett2073 As far as I know the Bogner is the only one of the 4 models with active tone controls. It also has "Synergy" marked components, which I think contribute to why the Bogner sounds better (to me anyway) 👍

I was gonna grab the Bog but to me everyone that played the Sol just ripped!

[@scottdunn2178]

@@jefferybarnett2073 None of them are bad. I guess it just depends on the particular amp flavor you're looking for.

The Bogner is probably more versatile, especially for lower gain stuff. I just love the tone of this one with everything set straight up. Love both.,

[@valueofnothing2487]

It's a solid state amp, people.

[@DanLeggatt]

Yep, literally one of the first things mentioned in the video 👍 Am I missing something?

[@valueofnothing2487]

@@DanLeggatt I'm just fed up with hearing millions of reviews all about the same thing and they're all positive and yet there's no difference between all the other amps you hear a month earlier. You yourself gave the same positive review to the Bogner mini amp. I just find all these reviews completely useless because they will not tell you the significant difference in anything they sell because they want to sell it all. I have lots of gear. I know pretty much what makes all the gear different and sound different and I can play something that will demonstrate that. And yet, when you go to KZbin you will not find that. You will not find a reason to buy one thing over another but instead simply find a reason to buy everything all the time. And this amp is a perfect example of that. And I must ask, how can you even think of recommending these amps and not recommending a Katana which has a 12-in speaker and a million effects and costs only $20 more? In fact, if you go read the reviews, why shouldn't I just buy something randomly? What is the point of all the reviews if they are all exactly the same? And they each one of them says that the gear that they're selling is the best?

[@DanLeggatt]

@@valueofnothing2487 I think you are confusing reviews with demos. What I do is demonstrate products. Sure, my opinion might creep in to a video but I’m not trying to sell anyone on a product. I’m purely making videos to offer people a chance to look and listen to products and make up their own mind. Everyone has different ears and a different taste in tone. Your argument about the Katana is an odd one, why would I mention that amp in a demonstration of another product? If this video was called ‘5 best low budget amps’ I may well include it. Plus, having a million features doesn’t mean it sounds better or would be a good choice for someone who just wants a traditional amp setup without bells and whistles.

[@expletivedeleted]

A Chinese company offered several manufacturers a generic amp...with some 'tuning' for and branding for each. This is an assembly line Chinese generic amp...same platform all of these 'new' con job amps are on. Suckers...scam economics is all ya got, huh? Can you say 'stupid' in Chinese?
