GTIDSLF12X Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I have searched and searched the web and very little comes up. Does anybody have any experience giging/recording with the Soul o 50 (head or combo)? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caprae Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Do you have any more info on that? Maybe post it in the ask Myles thread. It's stickied to the top of the page.

rw2003 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The Soul o 50 is a amp model line-up made by Groove Tubes. It includes a head and combos w/ 12" or 15" speakers. Distinguishing feature is that it can use different style power tubes to alter the sound and power rating. According to them, the amps are hand made in San Fernando, CA. I have no experience with this amp but I have to imagine it is pretty good at what it does since its from Groove Tubes. Not the cheapest in the world, starting price is about $1400 list. Just from reading the GT info alone, I wouldn't mind if someone gave me one as a gift!!! Here are some links to the manufacturer... http://www.groovetubes.com/product.cfm?Product_ID=2047 http://www.groovetubes.com/product.cfm?Product_ID=2046 "Spend all day doing nothing But we sure do it well" - Huck Johns from 'Oh Yeah' Click to Listen to Oh yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIDSLF12X Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Thanks everyone - I did post the question to Myles in his thread. I was hoping that someone out there had one or at least has used one. That Rivera Knucklehead series is looking pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 If I'm to go by the GT gear that I have used (not just their branded tubes), I'd be surprised if it was anything less than excellent. If you can afford one, try one. I'm not sure what their return policy is, but I have strong doubts that you'd need to use it. You could do a lot worse, and still have a good amp...

Dave da Dude Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yea, first things first, WELCOME to the forum imho, I think that it's spelled Solo-O-Fifty. That might help in the search. I'm not sure about the spelling though. [edit] Oops, my bad I just checked out the link, your spelling IS correct. Also, I agree, if it's by GT it must be good Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I never used one, but I knew a guy who did, and he swore by it. At the price, he'd better be able to... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCustom Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I've never recorded anything with a GT Soul O 50 but I've played around with one. It's a great sounding combo. I would think it would work great for recording. The guy that owned it was a session muscian. Born on the Bayou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIDSLF12X Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well UPS tracking says it will arrive tomorrow - I have two days to benchmark it (in and out of the studio)I will post my feedback. I had it shipped with 6L6's - I am hoping between the Soul O 50 and my DSL 50 with various cabs I will be covered for a while (yeah right) What's funny is I get great results with a Valve Junior or a Galaxie 10 (with a Rat or TS9) into Greenbacks (open and closed back) things just fit right into the mix. Anyway - thanks for the warm welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
