FS: Soldano SP-77 series II preamp. This preamp sound amazing for guitar. It gives you the legendary SLO 100 tone at about 1/6 the cost. It has a clean channel (Fendery shimmer) and an overdrive channel (the mighty SLO 100). You can adjust the gain, volume, bass, middle, and treble on each channel. The clean channel has a bright switch. These units are out of production and hard to find. You can put this preamp in front of a tube amp, like a Mesa power amp, or you can insert the signal into the effects return of a good guitar tube amp head or combo. It is recommended that you use it with a tube amp and not a PA amp. Soldano uses their own preamp tube circuit design using 4 12 AX7 tubes in a unique way. The tube circuit is not designed like a Fender, where they use a pair of tubes for each channel, but rather, all 4 are used for each Soldano channel. The result is amazing tone, both clean and overdriven. This preamp works fine. There is a small amount of rack wear and it does not come with a footswitch. Any standard guitar amp (button on/off) 1/4" cord footswitch will work. You do need the footswitch to switch between channels. $500 plus actual shipping from Oregon.
