Soldano ASTRO-20 3-Channel 20-Watt Guitar Head 2024 Black

Soldano's ASTRO‑20 is a cutting-edge 3-channel, 20-watt tube amplifier head that combines the boutique tone of its legendary predecessors with modern flexibility. Assembled in the USA and loaded with advanced features like IR-based cabinet simulation, MIDI programmability, and selectable "Galaxies" voicing modes, this amp is equally at home in a studio, on stage, or direct-to-front-of-house without a cabinet.

With four distinct Galaxy modes (Green, Blue, Purple, Red), each representing a unique preamp voicing, and 128 MIDI-addressable presets, the ASTRO‑20 offers everything from sparkling clean American combos to Soldano's iconic high-gain saturation. The onboard impulse response engine provides seamless DI tone with six onboard IR slots and custom loading via USB. Complete with a rugged steel chassis, intuitive front panel display, and a 4-button MIDI footswitch, the ASTRO‑20 is ready for the modern guitarist.
