SOLD: Soldano SLO Clone 50w

Deijavoo · July 2014

Decided that I'm due a change but one in one out policy at the moment so this is up for sale.

Now then, here is a link to the blog of the good gentleman who built this amp of mine with the Onetics (worth reading up on) transformer featured in it. This has all the spec you'll ever need to know.

I've also made a wee video this afternoon to give a range of sounds, I've gone from very clean to very OTT gain sounds to give an idea of what it's like.

Please note I'm not trying to win any guitarist of the year competitions or anything, was just a muck about with the volumes on less than 1, it's a frighteningly loud amp.

I had two new JJ 6l6s popped in about 2 months ago, and had it serviced last week as there was a wee hum after getting the new valves in which has now been fixed. The bias ports on the back helped fix that I believe. There's a 1.5 cm scratch on the rear right metal corner which hardly seems worth mentioning but I thought it best had.

There is a plain single button footswitch with it however I've got a new one on order from Bright Onion as I busted the original jumping on it with big heavy boots, it still works but again I thought it best to replace to be on the safe side. I'll obviously include both.

Any questions just fire away. Based in Carlisle but I travel sometimes with work down to Merseyside so can maybe figure something out. I'm down there on Friday as it happens too.

Sorry but I really would rather not post this amp so I'll be willing to travel a little further than usual again for the right deal.

Thanks.

By the way, it goes up to 11 too...

ThePrettyDamned · July 2014

Okay, can't buy but blimey that sounds fantastic!

Deijavoo · July 2014

Cheers mate.

Deijavoo · July 2014

Had a few messages now about straight sale. I said £900 in PM, but to be honest there's a deal on for me locally that I really want, so I guess £800ono £700 if someone wants to buy cash money.

I'll also consider posting at cost but I really would rather avoid that option.

Deijavoo · July 2014

New amp in tow BUMP!

Deijavoo · July 2014

Fretboard anniversary BUMP-A-ROO!

Deijavoo · July 2014

It's funny, when this was FT only, I had cash sale offers, as soon as I changed it to FS I got trade offers.

Such is life.

Anyways, I'm open to ideas but if a trade is involved it needs to be for a lesser value guitar. I definitely don't need an amp and have no space for a pedal, in fact I have a few to sell now. I need cash coming my way to be involved as I've bought a new amp. An offset Fender, maybe a tele with a Bigsby, a non-floyd Suhr.... ;-) anyways, over to you..

Deijavoo · July 2014

Ah, I get it. What you're all trying to tell me is that I need to go and buy a RJM Amp Gizmo and use both amps simultaneously yeah?

I'm hearing you, but the wife will need further convincing. Please feel free to email your idea.

In the meantime, a sale and trade shaped BUMPAROO!

Deijavoo · July 2014

3 and 3/4 hours away from a legal bump but fuck it, I'm just that kind of renegade.

Auction on eBay type BUMP.

Cheers to James at Bright Onion, what an awesome replacement pedal.

Still on eBay auction. Come on, someone make me break the rules!

Lew · July 2014

I'm sure it'll get pushed up in the last minute.

Deijavoo · July 2014

I hope so mate. If it goes for any less than £600 I'm gonna get quite upset.

matt1973 · July 2014

I'd pull it while you can.

Deijavoo · July 2014

I've pondered that but it needs to go.

It will sell for what it's worth in today's market I guess. It's far too loud for home, and I need the funds to pay towards my new amp. Strangely the master volume on my Mark V works better for home at 90w....don't ask me how.

I've only had 4 messages of interest from other people on here and no deal could be made at that point in time. I would've quite liked to run an auction on here but it isn't at all feasible.

Le sigh.

To be honest, if I had the cash right now I'd be all over it (especially at the current price), but I'm screwed for money since nobody's buying my Marshall 20/20, so my next GAS attack will most likely be an ADA MP-1 to go with it.

Deijavoo · July 2014

The buyers market is great when you have cash. Selling a one off custom build in this market is obviously a really poor move.

At what point can I end the auction early? I'm not gonna do that but more out of interest.

Deijavoo · July 2014

£302.

40 Watchers.

28 Bids.

1 day and 7 hours remain.

stonevibe · July 2014

It'll go to £5-600 ish I reckon

matt1973 · July 2014

If I was in the market, I'd pay £600 all day for a SLO clone. Hope it gets somewhere near.

Deijavoo · July 2014

Cheers guys, at this moment I'dtake that.

What irks me somewhat is that literally a year ago I was offered over a grand for it, and at the same time one went on eBay with inferior caps and transformer and sold for a couple quid shy of £700. The transformer here alone was about £300 after import. The replacement valves and new footswitch I've just bought too... I'm gonna have to sell my Mark V to recoup my losses.

Lew · July 2014

Let's see what the auction does before you top yourself

Deijavoo · July 2014

Still at £302......

This isn't in any way good.....

Lew · July 2014

ooooh this is better than the world cup

Deijavoo · July 2014

Ha ha, I'm still hoping for some extra time last minute winners here pal.

it's better than it was but no way am I happy with £400 after fees.

guitarfishbay · July 2014

Good luck dude... I don't sell by auction for that very reason.

Deijavoo · July 2014

I haven't for years and years. Always BIN.

I have to say it is quite exciting when a few bids come in.

ChrisMusic · July 2014

I so wanted to buy this from you, but not having enough cash right now, I was hoping that if it stuck around for a couple of weeks and maybe had a price drop there was a deal to be had.

I really feel for you right now.

That was a moment of madness going to the 'bay unannounced and so quickly. I do hope it wasn't beer induced ?

It would have been nice to keep this within theFretBoard family.

Hopefully you will get a last minute flurry and get a decent value for a very nice amp. Good luck mate.

Howdy, Stranger!
