The Soldano AstroVerb 16 is a 16-watt combo amplifier with onboard spring reverb, offering Mike Soldano's acclaimed gain structure in a lower-powered, more studio-friendly format. Its single-channel circuit delivers the characteristic Soldano clarity and sustain at volumes manageable for recording and small venues. The built-in reverb adds a lush, three-dimensional quality that the larger SLO-100 lacks.
