*** Premier Guitar Magazine review of the Soldano 44 Blues City Music
Signature combo amp 5 out of 5 ***

If you resemble the average guitar player regardless of whether a full time professional or a bedroom player, you've probably gone through at least a dozen amps since you started playing guitar. From an initial practice amp, to well made transistor models, to that big step of purchasing an all tube amp, all of this searching was done with one goal in mind, to find YOUR tone. Does this sound like you? If so, your search is now over, so let us help you find that amplifier to fit YOUR TONE and allow you to concentrate more on your guitar playing instead of continuing your search for another amp.

As a small boutique dealer, we only carry two highly custom amplifier product lines with that being, Soldano and Splawn. We also carry Creation Audio Labs MW1 Studio Tool (DI and re-amplifying unit), Mark 4.23 Boost pedal, Holy Fire Overdrive/Distortion pedal, and Redeemer Circuit; replacement guitar pickups by Fat Tone Pickups; a proprietary handmade, audiophile grade, instrument/speaker cable by Solid Cables; effects patch cables by George L’s; handmade acrylic guitar picks by V-Picks, replacement preamp and output vacuum tubes; and very select previously owned guitars, amps, and effects as our inventory.

We are very proud to be the largest stocking and busiest Soldano dealer on the planet, and with our Splawn Amplification dealership, we can now offer our customers, IN STOCK amplifiers, ranging in output tube varieties of 5881 WGC/6L6, Genelex KT 66, Mullard EL 34, Tung Sol EL 34b, and Sovtek or JJ KT 88 tubes.

Some may ask why not carry other amp lines, but to us there isn’t a better made Hi Gain amp in existence than what Mike Soldano builds out of his Seattle, Washington, shop. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, quality of components, fit, finish, service and support network, and finally the tone his amps deliver has become the pinnacle of the industry. In a very similar vein, Scott Splawn builds the finest “Marshallesque” style amp available anywhere at any price, and he does it in a variety of models, colors, and styles suited to fit a wide range of players from the “Plexi” purists to the over the top heavy metal shredder. With both of these amp lines in stock, there is no doubt that we have your tone right here at Blues City Music.

So, come on in, look around, find something you like then research it, and by all means, ask us any questions you may have. You'll find our customer support and logistics first class and all about YOU, the customer. Once you find out how appreciative we are that you give us the opportunity to serve your guitar amp needs, you'll be a lifetime customer for sure.

If you are in the Memphis, Tennessee area, even though we are primarily an Internet business, we may be able to arrange an appointment for you to come by and play our amps. Please call first with sufficient time for this to happen.

Remember, it's all about TONE, so get ready to finally find YOURS.
