I just purchased a Soldano SLO second hand from someone here in Australia...serial number 92939. It came with what looks like a Soldano footswitch...well, it says Soldano on it anyway. I'm confused as to what the footswitch does though. There is one red light and one green light, and a button under each light. The button under the red light seems to switch to the gain channel but the green one seems to cut out the clean channel and then do nothing on the red (overdrive) channel. The footswitch also has what looks like an AC adapter input in it which would suggest the footswitch requires power of some sort???
I just took the amp off 50watt mode and onto 100watt mode and now the footswitch works like I thought it would. The green button goes between clean/crunch and the red button takes to the lead channel. Why would this be different for 50watt mode?
Also the switches near the input jack appear to do nothing at all???
And the power tubes are glowing blue only when the standby switch is in the "on" position...when I switch between "standby" and "on" it is as if a blue light is turning on and off with the switch...is this a light to indicate the "on" position or do tubes only glow when taken off standby? I might add that the tubes in it are totally original. They have "Soldano" stamped on them and are probably about 15 years old, even though he said the amp probably only saw about a hundred gigs as he didn't use it much...still, they're old tubes!
Please can someone shed some light on this for me :smack:
