    Or any of the "Best of..." or "Greatest" compilations out there.

    Not only was he blitzed, so was the drummer! The man had AMAZING tone and ability!
    Toyed in my mind about what it would be like to put 13's or 14's on my strat... but, I ain't no SRV!

    And the Bass player...

    They tore it up when they were ripped, and they tore it up after they got sober...

    Another thought: just because a Soldano SLO has a high gain preamp, doesn't mean it has to be dimed to sound good. In fact, if you put the preamp up to around noon and use the master volume to adjust the loudness, you get a great crunch sound. The higher you put the master the more power tube distortion you get.

    Agreed. It's just that a SLO is about as far from a Fender amph as you can possibly get. OK, maybe a Triple Rectifier.

    Actually the Triple Rectifier is Boogie's take on the Soldano SLO-100. As is the Peavey 5150.
