    Pros
    • Low price (I scored one a few years ago for $375)
    • That awesome Soldano overdrive
    • Decent cleans
    • Separate reverb level for each channel
    Cons
    • Lacks low end. Even after adding a depth mod, it lacked oomph. Some have had good results tweaking the power supply, though.
    • FX loop sucks. They recommend rack FX for a reason.
    • 11 tubes (7 12AX7's and 4 5881's). That's a lot of tubes to tweak/replace.
    Bottom Line (IMO)

    I think it's a great amp for old-school metal. Its lack of low end makes it a poor candidate for detuned stuff. It has tons of gain on tap that isn't buzzy unless you want to dial it in that way.

    If you're looking for high gain on a budget, I think it's a great choice. If you're looking for a SLO at a 1/4 the price you'll be disappointed.

      It's an amp that Mike Soldano designed for Yamaha.

        Any CD's, bands, etc that have a sound like this? I would assume VH's F.U.C.K is close. Others?

          I think it sounds more like Ratt than Van Hagar.

                  I have a T-50 that I really like. It grinds well and takes boost pedals nicely. For what they go for, it seems to be pretty well made inside, or at least it looks easy to service.
