1988 Soldano/Cornish Guitar Routing System
Soldano · other
This 1988 setup pairs Soldano, the boutique amplifier maker whose SLO-100 defined late-1980s high-gain tone, with a Pete Cornish guitar routing system, the switching and effects-loop units Cornish built by hand in England for professional touring rigs. Cornish systems solved the problem of running multiple pedals and amp channels with buffered switching and no signal loss, becoming a fixture of high-end 1980s and 90s touring boards. It is associated in this catalogue with Eric Clapton, though independent sources confirming this specific combination as Claptons rig are limited, so that detail is not asserted as fact here.
