Soldano SLO Mini 30 Watt Killer Amp

I have never gotten excited about ANY solid state amp. Ever. Until now. The new SLO Mini 30.

Unfortunately for most […]

Classic Ampeg tone in a Compact 5 watt package

don’t know if I really needed it, but I finally talked myself into pulling the trigger on an Ampeg GVT series tube amp. I wasn’t looking to replace my Jet City JCA20H, that will never happen. I just wanted a really low wattage tube amp so I could really push it anytime I want day or night…
