Just a point on Soldano SLO100. Nothing sounds like it except itself. As much as Soldano has tried to emulate it by 'claiming' that they can design the lead channel into a any of their other amp line, it simply fails. The secret ingredient seems to be the DeYoung Transformers and I believe a lot of people on the forum have taken it for granted that having a circuit on the SLO is equal to the SLO. No way. I know because I still have an own a Hot Rod 50 which I first got before I got the SLO. Is the difference that big? YES. And if Soldano themselves cannot design a SLO cheaper than it is now which by the way is being sold at almost the same price that it was being sold in 1989 -- 20 years and only a US$300-US$500 price increase, that should be a clue to everybody else here pretending to have a DIY Soldano SLO 100. As for my SLO, it was factory modified for a Depth Knob and a scoop switch for the crunch channel (demartini mod) AND more importantly, upon concurrence the with Soldano dudes, they took out the effect loop for a more punchier SLO. The only other modification I have done is put in some kind of NOS Brimar 12ax7 in v1 and put a pair of my Made in England Vintage 30s into a Mills Acoustics cabinet. It remains to be a favorite amp by not only me but by around 90% of people who come in to test my amps. The other 10% seem to like the Diezel Herbert a lot. Is it worth its US$3000 stock price? Yes. As much as there are known players who use the SLO, it was the last amp that SRV would use. Stevie was about to convert his whole rig to SLOs and in fact they already got to testing it on some of his gigs before he died. I think the final ingredient for me for the SLO was to finally find a matching cabinet for Celestion Vintage 30s which now complements more than ever the high mid bite of the SLO.

hope to hear a demo of your amp sir firemodel55... can't afford one, but a demo will surely put justice to your amp's superiority...

great amp you got there... would help if you post some pics too...

the dream amp... SLO100 cracked my balls.... hahahah! just wondering, given the Soldano Supercharger GTO have (almost) the same OD section of the SLO100, are there any alternatives (amps or pedals) that would really emulate an SLO100? TIA!!!

Nope Sir Phil. I cannot afford it.

Scratch build (DIY) got the schematic and layout from Brownote forum. Then later on I modified it as per the suggestion and layout of DOG EARS ( AMP GARAGE & TGP).

I have used high quality parts as well, same as deluxe kit of brown note .

F & T capacitors, Orange drops caps, RN65 resistors and Heyboer Trannys.

and for speakers I used a cheapo Jensen Mod 50.

Yes there is. Get yourself a Yamaha T100 or T50 and send it to Mike for a choke mod and you have yourself an SLO. I know cause I own both the Yamaha and an SLO.
