Everyone looking at the new Soldano SLO30 re-issue...... I don't care about that.... but what in the name of all that is ball amazing is that next to it.....?????

The Soldano SLO-30 Combo is finally here – and it comes in purple

The much-requested tube amp is now available in a 1x12” format complete with a Celestion Redback speaker

Even more jaw-dropping than that top is that Celestion found anyone who actually wanted a redback. 🤣

Is the tonal profile special or something? Not sure why you'd want to put such a high output rated speaker in with a 30 watt amp, though MB did originally use the 100 Watt Jensen Blackbird speakers with their Cali 40.

Sure looks like it, has the USB port.

The tonal profile is not special, just sounds like muffled cardboard, in my own very personal opinion. Zilla cabs YT channel has some comparisons against a V30 and H Creamback and some others. What ever about the wattage, it's no disadvantage at all. My guess is that Celestion was just not selling them and Soldano got a rock bottom price.
 
I've got a SLO30 head paired with an Avatar cabinet with 2 Fane-Avatar M65 creambacks and it sounds amazing. The Creamback or Greenback seems to be the right speaker for that, IMHO. Maybe a G12H-30 but that may be too dark.

I'm not one to crap on V30s...they sound good with some amps, but to me, the SLO30 isn't one of them.
