Soldano Custom Amplification

・・・
Life goes in magical circles quite often!

When I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 I met this unknown, super nice and talented guy who had a tiny little amp shop on Melrose Ave.
We started hanging out there weekly and he showed me these incredible amps he was building and he was so thrilled that a few top names had just bought one.

Few people made it big faster and he is a true legend today, one of those names that every guitarist mentions and everyone else know exactly what the sound is.
His name is Mike Soldano and every legendary guitarist has used his amps ever since.
I bough one of the first X-88 preamps he built for my Bradshaw rack and when I recorded my first Radioactive album in 1991 he lent me the amp he had built for Stevie Ray Vaughn for the session.
So it is a true sound circle to get this today ❤️🎸❤️
