The OG 5150 circuit is a loose SLO copy as well, though the OG 5150 is its own brand of bad ass.
But I'll be the devil's advocate here  : https://www.soldano.com/products/cla...lo-30-classic/
Ever since Mike sold Soldano to BAD, they have been a whole heck of a lot easier to get your hands on and it lead to the creation of the 30-watt SLO. |
I actually had a Framus Dragon for the End of Heartache guitar tones. Wasn't very successful at squeezing it out but I guess you just explained why.
Has their quality/sound changed after ownership change?
I play out of a solid state combo amp now lmao. If I start playing as much as I used to, I would consider it but probably unlikely.
