Used on the 'Still Got The Blues' Tour in 1990 and the 'After Hours' Tour in 1992.
This was a second Soldano that Gary owned, and was mostly used as a spare amplifier, but was used on a couple of shows, if a fault developed with the main amp. It was also the recorded amp on the 'Live Blues' VHS release, which was filmed at The Garage in Highbury, north London, in 1993. This is the amplifier heard on most of that live recording; it had been isolated in an offstage area to achieve a better sound for the mobile studio, rather than blasting away inside the tiny club.
This amp was being serviced when Marshall product amp guru Ritchie Fliegler came across it and wrote about it in his book, 'Amps! The Other Half Of Rock 'n' Roll', Hal Leonard Publishing, 1993, remarking that it was the best Soldano amp he had ever used.
