The Story

SLO-100 Super Lead Overdrive Amplifier Head

A masterpiece of an amplifier, this is the one and only Soldano SLO-100! It's 100 watts of power designed by Mike Soldano originally in 1987. It was one of the very first high gain amp heads with crystal clear tones and the right balance of sustain and dynamics. Handmade in the USA, the amp features a tube-buffered effects loop, the popular Soldano "Depth" control, an improved noise floor for excelletn signal-to-noise ratio, and there's even a front-panel switch for channel switch that's really helpful in a studio setting when you don't need a footswitch in the way!
