Soldano Hot Rod

[Mats A]

I've never tried a Soldano. They don't sell them here in Sweden. I guess they're just too expensive to sell. I wonder is it kind of nasal sounding like the EVH 5150 III? How does it compare to a Marshall. Think i've red that Eddie didn't like that it wasn't as fast in attack when he hit the string as his Marshall or something like that.

I have been looking into a Hotrod over the last few days. Now this thread shows up. I wonder if its a sign that I should buy one?

I played one a few years ago, it completely changed everything I thought I knew about guitar amps. Literally everything I played sounded good, it was amazing. I will own one some day

A used Hotrod starts around $1200

Mats, from the amps and tones you say you like I think you should look at Bogner and if there's anywhere near you that's started stocking them Friedman

Soldano Hot Rod useful for both cars and gear, pursuing the perfect look and performance can be time consuming and expensive.

There ain't a lot of Bogner and Friedman here in Sweden. They're way to expensive i believe. My brother has two Laneys that he has modded to a Bogner and a Soldano. Also a friend i play in one of my bands recently bought a Made in Japan Soldano Series II Super Lead 60 and it sounds good. My brother used to have a Japanese made Soldano preamp and he was told there was the same parts in it as US made Soldanos. It sounded great too. But i think i like my 1959 with a booster more.
