How is you SOldano? I heard many god things about the Super Lead Overdrive and the HOt Rod is supposed to have the SLO channel! Is the drive channel is good?
How's the clean channel?
Since I haven't had the chance to play a SLO, I can't compare the two, but it does sound very similar to the SLO clips I've heard. In a nutshell, it sounds godly. My Marshall is for sale.

No more love for Orange amps?
I really love your guitar combo, nice choice! :D
The Electric Amp replaced them. It's basically a hot-rodded early 70s OR-120. Once I had it the AD-140 became redundant as it couldn't hold a candle to the Electric. The Rockerverb 50 I had was never really my style. It was a cool amp, but the voicing of the gain just wasn't right for me. I traded it straight up for the Dual Rectifier, and both of us wound up walking away thinking we'd gotten the better end of the bargain.

The LSS sees the most use just because of it's size. It's an awesome little amp with a great 30w/EL84 breakup. The thing sounds like rock and roll.

The Mark V is my newest aquisition. I love it as it covers a lot of ground from heavy to classic and it's the best sounding low volume tube amp I've ever heard. I'm eventually going to get a pair of Boogie 1x12s (open back top/thiele bottom) to scale down the size and I expect it will take over main amp duty.

JESUS...i'm not one to be intimidated but wow...i love what i've got...would like some others...but what i've got doesn't hold a candle to some of this!!!

**edit**

so...i mean monetary wise...i can't afford some of the high end gear that's in this post...i would love to, but for the next few years, maybe even decade, unless i fall into money, or one hell of a deal...i won't be able to afford a Bogner, or TopHat...let alone two or three...

i had my eyes on an Orange...but things came up, and i *settled* for a Traynor...i think i'm probably happier now with the Traynor...fx loop, 20W more power, the ability to lower the wattage...for less than half the price...and it sounds amazing to me...

i can't afford the high priced gear...but i love what i've got!

You can never "settle" for a Traynor. Traynors flat out rock! Great-sounding amps that are built to take a beating, have an awesome warranty (non-vintage stuff, of course) and don't cost an arm and a leg - can't go wrong! You can spend more, but you won't necessarily get more!

i know...i had been holding out for an ORANGE...but the gas was getting too much...and everytime i had money, it went to the house...so...i saw my traynor...and tried it and fell in love...WAY more features (fx loop, MV, eq on both channels, more headroom, the ability to change the tone circuit) i made a good choice, would love to have an Orange still though...my wife doesn't get why i got a Traynor when i had been wanting an Orange...oh well...

Haha, I get the same thing all the time. "Why did you buy that ugly Strat when you wanted a Sunburst or a Fiesta Red?" "Why did you buy that burst Les Paul when you wanted a Goldtop?"
