I refused to watch any other video on this until you released yours. AMAZING!

[LeonTodd]

Throwing the PCM70 and the Tyler in there is god tier!

[dakotarolfe]

As soon as I saw the teaser image on the Soldano Instagram a couple weeks back, my first thought was “Can’t wait for the Michael Nielsen video on that!” Lol fantastic as always 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[christopheranderson]

Oh man……that tone you got with the Lexicon thrown on almost brought a tear to my eye!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[JorisGriffioen]

The fact that the digital tech is shared between Synergy, Friedman, Soldano etc. is a real game changer too for the long term. That high/low pass feature was added recently and is now available in all those products across brands, they're not all on islands reinventing the same thing.

This is a great thing to have— it’s straightforward, direct and beautiful. What a time to be alive. Thanks for posting this.

Great job Soldano! Now do the X99. 😁
Also, RIP to the ebay seller with an X88 listed for $10k! 🤣

Man I’ve wanted one of these for years. It’s funny I had the old POD 2.0 red bean and one of my favorite amps was a preset deep in it based on a Soldano X88R model that I think was supposed to be modeled from one Satriani used. This looks like a killer upgrade to the original.

[tcoxy]

Yass! Killer vid as always and so pumped to see the X88IR be a thing. It sounds monstrous, welcome back guitar rack gear.

[kendallrocks]

Sounds amazing Michael, and your playing and writing just get better and somehow better with each new video. Thanks Man.

[VaiSolo]

Such tasty intros in this neighborhood! Definitely heard some Satriani-isms in there.
Now waiting on some 80s and 90s Lynch...

[techniqueswithtodd]

PURE AWESOMNESS!! With midi and in stereo. Wow. Great vid!!!

[wolfsdenmusic]

"A time when racks went away"...yes, a dark chapter. :) Love to see this preamp come back! And as always, fantastic and tasteful playing in the intro music. My favorite part of all your videos.

[bobjoe]

Finally, it's here and it's back! I've been unbelievably excited for this the moment I heard whispers of its return. I don't have the money to drop on this, but it makes me so happy that Soldano brought it back. I also wanted to say how fantastic your video production is, and your playing is always a treat to hear. This preamp is all over some of my favorite session stuff, and I hope to see it get some new session use in the future.

Last year I finally disassembled my 18 space rack guitar rig and sold off everything. Now, rack gear is making a comeback. Oh well. My back can’t handle the weight anymore. Just received my Friedman IR-J. That’s the weight my 58 year old body can handle these days. 😉

[johnmturi]

My goodness! That opening track is fantastic!

[skipneumann]

So so cool that you have the original!

[cchuvan]

When I got to the 14:21 mark, I thought "That's THE sound!" but then, I got to the 14:41 mark, I went "Oh, hang on, THAT's the sound!". Gorgeous tones, stunning playing.

[yalkinyalniz]

I LOVE your content. As a 51 year old guitar player, I think you are some bliss to watch. Thank you.

[progpogs]

This intro song felt so 80s man, loved it.
