Members Cougar Hunter Posted November 9, 2006 Members Share Posted November 9, 2006 WOw. It absolutely rips. I think it eats my HK Access for breakfast. I think this might have Suhr mods though. I got it from NNajar at HRI. Great deal. It's the sound I've always heard in my head. It's like a tight brown sound. unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elric Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 That Charvel in the pic == :love: Soldano preamp. Charvel axe. 80's Metal incarnate. Yum. I have a 3TM MP-1 and MP-1 Classic which also rule for that era... late 80's early 90's metal/rock was awesome. At one point I was considering getting an X99 but got a spousal veto in spite of having the money. I might try to swing one of those or an X88R at some point if the gas starts again. Soldano's stuff is just so cool! Great score man. Post some clips. Give me the GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry bro, it's mounted, but my guess is between 5 and 6 lbs. I don't know how to help you. It weighs less than my access, much less than my triaxis. I can find out the weight on the box monday.

Members separanets Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Never mind, it's ok. Thank you.The Triaxis is 9,5 pounds = 4,2 kg (I found that in the manual)Id the sp-77 is lighter it's cool, though it looks like 2u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Neemo Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 the SP-77 has definately got my attention, what kind of tone does it have? Is it closer to mesa or marshall? I hear the lead tone just rips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members separanets Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 People say it's close to the 5150. I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slash81291 Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Speaking of a 3TM, how does it compare with the soldano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grrrunge Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 mine is a japanese version - i think - it looks pretty old, but the tone is a lot like late 90's hard-rock. very punchy, raw and articulate at the same time... you can hear every note coming out clearly - i'd like to own a ton of those... oh - i forgot to mention the clean channel - nice and sparkly *click* (bright switch on) nicer and sparklier Me likes!

Members separanets Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 What weight is your Japanese version? Your comments still inspire me to buy one in Japan. There it's $402 for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Idiot Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 So it kicks the {censored} out of the triaxis? Why is it so cheap? Isn't Soldano stuff supposed to be a gazillion dollars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grrrunge Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I don't know if it kicks the {censored} out of the triaxis - i never owned that one... yet...What i like with the SP-77 is the no bulls interface (just two channels) and killer toneI'd really like to try the triaxis though. i guess it's two different stories, as the soldano is meant to be like a hot rodded marshall or something - mesa's isn't... i guess the weight is about 2 kilo for the japanese version... i haven't had it out of my rack since i bought it...

Isn't Soldano stuff supposed to be a gazillion dollars.... I doesn't kick the {censored} out of the triaxis. I actually miss my triaxis even though I have a CAE, the soldano, and the HK Access. It's cheap b/c they use normal components like everyone else on this unit. (the x88 uses like airplane grade space shuttle pots and stuff). + there's hardly anything inside the unit. I still need to try the studio and quad. There's a cool aggressiveness in mesa stuff that no other preamp has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't have a switching solution. I have to use a shorting plug right now. BTW, I gave myself a nice shock last night being careless with some tube swapping.
