The Soldano EVERYBODY Should Have

The ‪@SoldanoCustomAmps‬ Astro-20 may be the Soldano EVERYBODY should have. In this in-depth Soldano Astro 20 review, demo and playthrough, I explore its clean, crunch and legendary high-gain tones—and discover an incredibly versatile three-channel tube amplifier with the unmistakable heart and soul of an SLO. Mike Soldano’s amplifiers have delivered some of the most celebrated guitar tones in rock, with Soldano users including Eddie Van Halen, Gary Moore, Steve Lukather, Warren Haynes, Vivian Campbell, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. The Astro-20 brings that Soldano heritage into a compact 20-watt amplifier designed for modern players, recording and live performance. The Red Galaxy delivers the aggression, sustain and harmonic richness that Soldano SLO fans will recognise, but the Astro-20 goes far beyond one iconic high-gain sound. Its three channels and four selectable Galaxies cover pristine cleans, edge-of-breakup tones, classic rock crunch, hot-rodded lead sounds and saturated modern gain. I also explore the Astro-20’s Presence and Depth controls, whisper-quiet operation, built-in reactive load, six onboard cabinet IR slots and direct-recording capabilities. You’ll hear the amp across several sound demonstrations before the full track, TEST OF TIME, closes the video. Is this the most versatile Soldano amp yet—and could it be the Soldano everybody should have? Let me know which channel, Galaxy or sound clip was your favourite in the comments!
