Their quality control was always iffy, but when you got a good one, there was nothing like it. I built a clone of that amp and it's really close in tone. Now, if I could just play like he does. That Soldano in the first clip I posted cost 4-5x as much and, IMHO, doesn't sound nearly as good.

Yeah, I had a 1959 100wSLP would've been around a 1970 model, and also 50w SuperLead back in the day. The 50 sounded better, but the 100w was better at setting itself on fire. Surely was LOUD though, and could kill a 100w quaddie in minutes.
