Soldano Decatone

I’m putting this out there to see if there’s any interest, as I’m not forced to sell.

Up for sale is a TRULY rare amp.

A Soldano Decatone (100W, 3-channel) – the 10th-anniversary model.

I’ve owned this amp for over 10 years; it’s played a few gigs, but mostly it’s just sat in rehearsal spaces. Even though it’s a genuine, hand-built Soldano, to my ears the sound isn't exactly SLO-style, nor is it quite Hot Rod territory (I’ve compared it back-to-back with both). It’s perhaps a touch less aggressive, smoother, and more mid-focused.

The clean and crunch channels are my personal favorites, and the crunch channel is incredibly versatile—in my opinion, it beats the SLO sound hands down. It’s warm, rich, and heavy enough when needed. The lead channel is pure "flute-like" tone with distortion for days.

These amps have been used by the likes of Matthew Bellamy, Richard Zven Kruspe, Martin Barre, Warren Haynes, and Brad Gillis.

The price is firm. You can buy an SLO off the shelf, but not one of these :)

The knobs have been replaced, but the original pots (black ones) and the original footswitch are included.

There isn't a huge amount of information about these online, but here are a few decent videos on the subject:
