Description
Roadhouse USA:
Soldano Hot Rod 25 Head/ 2×12 Cabinet in Blue Snakeskin signed by Mike Soldano.
Suffice to say you won’t see another one like this:)
The HR-25 was the last new design Mike Soldano did prior to retiring. He built these in response to the demand for a lower wattage SLO.
These are obviously no longer made and this one is in one of a kind, factory Blue Snakeskin tolex.
Both the amp and cab are in stellar condition as you can see by the pics.
The amp was hand signed by Mike on the back as pictured.
It sounds exactly like you would expect it to: absolutely killer.
This amp is a far cry from the stuff that BAD is putting out today with the Soldano name on it. The build quality on these original Soldano’s is 2nd to none.
If you have been wanting an original Soldano, this is the one.
Comes with original footswitch.
Info from Soldano:
It’s SOLDANO HOT ROD 25. Just like the HOT ROD 50 PLUS and HOT ROD 100 PLUS, the preamp circuitry of the HOT ROD 25 is based on the legendary SOLDANO 100w SUPER LEAD OVERDRIVE. It has a unique power section which utilizes two 5881 power tubes and a filter choke in the power supply – two features usually found only in higher powered amps – that enable this compact little 25 watt head to deliver much tighter bass and punchier low end than most other amps in its class.
The HOT ROD 25 also features a tube-buffered, post master volume effects loop and effortless channel switching via foot switch between the Normal and Overdrive Channels. There are independent Preamp gain and Master Volume controls for each channel. Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence controls provide the tone shaping. A rotary Impedance selector switch allows for the use of 4, 8, or 16 ohm speaker cabinets.
