For decades, guitarists have chased “that sound.” The unmistakable punch of a stadium-filling riff. The singing sustain of a searing solo. The raw, untamed energy of classic rock—captured on tape by legends like Angus Young, David Gilmour, and countless others. At SoloDallas, we don’t just remember that sound—we rebuild it.

For over three decades, Fil “SoloDallas” Olivieri chased the elusive tone heard on AC/DC’s Back in Black—a sound so raw, powerful, and expressive that it shaped the blueprint for hard rock guitar. Fil meticulously recreated Angus’s gear chain, but something was always missing.

Jim James, the frontman and guitarist of My Morning Jacket, has long been celebrated for his innovative and eclectic guitar tones. In the creation of the band's recent album, "Is", James expanded his tonal palette by incorporating the SoloDallas Schaffer Boost into his effects lineup.
