A stage-ready amplifier that delivers uncompromised tone and uncomplicated operation

The Hot Rod 50 Plus is a 50 watt 2-channel guitar amp head, with independent preamp and master volume controls for each channel. The normal channel is similar to the SLO's Crunch mode, with clean sounds available at lower gain settings. The Overdrive channel is identical to the SLO circuit and gives awesome sustain even at moderate settings. The tone controls shape the sound of both channels and are interactive—meaning each control will effect the others. This gives you the flexibility to dial in all the unique and subtle tones you've been searching for. The Soldano Hot Rod 50 amp head also has a global presence control that lets you add high end sparkle to both channels. Other features include a line level series effects loop, a slave output with a level control, a speaker impedance switch, and a channel footswitch.

The sound in your head

This is the working man's version of the SLO. Cons first: no reverb, channel switching by footswitch only, and shared EQ. Pros: Everything else. Soldano is the underdog of the amp world and it baffles me to understand why. These are handmade amps people in the US. Not somewhere that you can't even pronounce. I've never heard an amp with such pleasing tone. You never have to struggle or throw a ton of effects on it to get a great sound. In fact, you don't really "need" reverb and this amp proves it. Although it sounds REALLY great with it. Cleans up great, take pedals well, and goes to insane distortion without losing note definition. I owned one and foolishly sold it. After searching for years and buying numerous amps trying to get the same tone, I finally sold them and bought this again. I'll never part with it. But hey, if you like giving your money away to corporate executes, poor quality, and foreign workers, go right ahead. Me? My amp shopping days are over. This does every style of music I can think of. I haven't played anything better. If you think you have, you've never played a Soldano.
