Mmmkay, what's the hype about the Soldano SLO-100? I've never heard one (and I'd love to hear a clip), but I've been getting the hype left and right. And what's this about the 5150 bearing a resemblance in sound to the SLO? Hmmmm.
And while I'm at it, what are Bogners all about?

bogners have 3 channels, its also a very high quality amplifier. have massive bass sounding, you can hear the difference with the digitech gnx3000 simulation of slo bogner ecstacy..., its not same thing but give a good idea. slo 100 is between jcm800 and 1959slp of marshall when using el34 tubes, also similar to hiwatt sound, and can be similar to a fender bassman if you use 6l6 tubes. 5150 is an amplifier that try to be like plexi with a variac, and soldano because it can use 6l6 tubes and give a clean sound that marshall cant get, little bit like fender bassman.

The SLO, 5150, and Mesa Rectifier amps do share a lot in common, but they don't sound the same. There's more to the final tone than the way the circuit looks on a piece of paper. Take the Marshall Plexi for example, everyone and their brother has tried to re-create that vintage Plexi tone and no body has nailed it. Even Marshall can't do it. Many come close, but it's not the same. Jerry

BTW, the 5150 is nothing like a Plexi. The 5150 has WAY more gain than a Plexi. The type of power tube doesn't always decide if the amp is clean or not. Marshall TSL/DSL amps have a nice clean and Carvin X100B have an amazing clean and they both use EL34's. Jerry
