Product Description

SoloDallas mastermind Fil Olivieri built the company on creating an authentic recreation of the legendary Schaffer Vega Diversity Wireless System. These units were prototyped in the mid '70s, and were not only hailed as one of the first and most effective wireless guitar solutions, but also lauded for the sound they produced.

Despite the fact that this equipment was originally intended as a wireless system for performers, the tone they produced was the reason they ultimately became the stuff of legend. When Schaffer ceased production of the SVDS, its incredible tone slipped into obscurity - and that's where Solo Dallas come in!

Fil Olivieri was an avid AC/DC fan who spent much of his time seeking out the iconic sound that put the Young Brothers on the map. When he discovered that they used SVDS units both live and in the studio as part of their earth-shattering rigs, he set about finding one and recreating it; the result was the Schaffer Replica, which proved to be a huge hit among guitar aficionados, and set Solo Dallas on the path to success!

The aim is not only to deliver up to 30dB of clean boost, but also to enrich your tone in ways you can't imagine! Despite the original Schaffer systems being intended as wireless units, it was their tone that made them truly special - and that's what the Solo Dallas EX Tower sets out to do!
