ASTRO-20
By Soldano Custom Amplification
A 20-watt, 3-channel all-tube head with onboard MIDI-controlled IR cab simulation for cabless recording and stage use.
About this amp
The ASTRO-20 pairs a straightforward all-tube design - two 6V6 power tubes, four 12AX7 preamp tubes - with three selectable ‘Galaxy’ voicings (Blue, Purple, Red) that can be assigned independently to its two overdrive channels, alongside a separate clean channel. Six onboard DSP impulse-response cab slots let it run direct to front-of-house, a recording interface, or headphones without a speaker cabinet, all recallable via the included 4-button MIDI footswitch or external MIDI gear.
