Anybody here ever use a Soldano HR50 XL. I'm thinking about snagging a used one to check out. I played one a while back but don't remember much. What's it like?

Have not tried a HR 50XL but I plugged in a Lucky 13 the other day and all I can say is Yikes!

I've been using one for gigs lately and I have to say it sounds really good. It is basically a hotrodded Marshall 800 series master volume amp. It cuts in a mix very well.

HR 50
I've had an HR50+ for about 5 years. I had the mod done to give it the XL voicing.
It's a wonderful amp. But I strongly suggest you look at the two channel version. The single channel HR has the overdrive channel only. I don't mean to belittle that channel because it is truly incredible. But if you play some blues/rock, the overdrive can be a bit much. So the two channel gives you a lot more flexibility.
The problem is that the two channel HR's seem to be quite a bit more expensive. But these are definitely keeper amps so the extra $$ might be worth it to you.
