About a 10 minute look at the Soldano shop. Kinda surprised at how small it is!

Way cool - seeing how small the shop is, you'd expect the amps to have a higher price tag, but it's worth it. -
Pretty low key operation for sure... Ummm.. Interestingly amatuer-ish interview...Comment

Wow, pretty cool, thanks for sharing.
Actually that was what i expected. A small company with only some employees building very nice amplifier.

Very cool! A few random comments:
-Mike seems like a nice fella.
-I checked out Allen amps (allenamps.com) a few years back. Basically, David Allen and his wife work in a very small finished basement of their house. It makes Soldano's shop look huge.
-After watching that sped up tolex application part, I have a new found respect for that process!
-Wasn't that My Bloody Valentine playing in the background? Interesting because today I'm wearing an MBV t-shirt that I haven't worn for years.

Damn guys, I want a SLO so friggen bad... and watching this video makes the GAS start flaring up again. I've only spent a few minutes with one and it had the most incredible distortion tone... it is the exact the tone I hear in my head when I think of the perfect guitar sound... thick, articulate, and mean, all with perfect clarity.
It is pretty obvious that Mike Soldano is passionate about building amps, and I think the amount of personal attention each amp gets is amazing. I have to own one someday.Comment

Khabibissell....I promise if I ever win the lottery , I'll buy one for you! I took the plunge a little over a year and a half ago, and it has been like Christmas morning every time I plug in since I got it. I have never been happier with a piece of gear. But go figure,,,,as soon as I bought my SLO, my band gigging days were winding down,,,and so I don't get to gig with the best amp I ever had in my life! Now that I have young kids of my own, I don't really want to gig on a regular basis right now, but would love to just play one show with this amp to see the reaction from everyone.Comment
