Soldano’s Legendary Fire-breather
The Soldano Super Lead Overdrive isn’t just another high-gain tube amplifier head — it’s so much more than that. This awe-inspiring fire-breather’s cascading-gain preamp design delivers a thick, juicy sizzle that lends itself to everything from whiskey-soaked electric blues to red-hot jazz fusion to tooth-rattling metal. And then there’s the SLO-100’s dynamic sensitivity, which hangs right in there with the best of its boutique-voiced brethren. This 100-watt, 2-channel amp head includes simple, yet eminently effective tone-shaping, along with independent preamp gain and master volume controls for achieving harmonically saturated tones at manageable levels. You also get a tube-buffered effects loop for your pedals, while a variable slave output enables effortless DI-ing. Beyond that, a rotary impedance selector allows you to pair the SLO-100 with a myriad of speaker cabinets. Soldano’s Super Lead Overdrive is built from top-shelf, military-grade components for the ultimate in durability. Countless world-class guitarists swear by this modern classic. Test drive an SLO-100 for yourself, and you’ll see why!




Cascading-gain preamp design equals rich, harmonically saturated gain
The Super Lead Overdrive is renowned for its rich, harmonically saturated gain and super-responsive touch dynamics, and it was everywhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s — Eddie Van Halen on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Journeyman-era Eric Clapton, and just about everything Mark Knopfler has done since 1987 are but a few examples. In fact, a complete list of SLO-100 users reads like a who’s who of world-famous guitarists — Lou Reed, Vivian Campbell, George Lynch, Gary Moore, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and a number of guitarists here at Sweetwater — the list goes on and on. And how does the SLO-100 achieve this glorious sound? It all starts with four cascading stages of 12AX7-driven preamp gain. Your signal then travels through a tone stack that’s derived from a modified American-style amp. Finally, 100 watts of 6L6-fueled power stand ready to pummel your cabinet into submission. If you’ve never experienced Soldano’s Super Lead Overdrive, plug in — you’ll never look back!



2 footswitchable channels cover rock, metal, contemporary blues, and more
No matter what kind of tone you’re trying to dial in — rock, metal, contemporary blues — the Soldano SLO-100 can achieve it. This tube amplifier head’s Normal channel yields crystalline cleans that can be honed to a razor’s edge with the channel’s Bright switch or drug through the dirt with its Crunch switch. The SLO-100’s Overdrive channel delivers a super-thick sound that’s framed by a scorching, high-octane sizzle. Back off the gain and you’ll experience an inspiring blues-tinged sound with unbelievable touch sensitivity. Crank up the gain and you’ll unleash absolute brutality. Both channels share Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence, and Depth controls that supply loads of tone-shaping power. And a footswitch is provided for effortless, noise-free switching between channels.




Pro-level features make integration with the rest of your guitar rig a breeze
The SLO-100 is jam-packed with pro-level features that make integrating it with the rest of your gear a breeze. Its tube-buffered effects loop enables you to use it with your favorite effects pedals. Its slave control is an adjustable low-level output taken from the amp’s output transformer that enables you to route your signal straight to a PA or recording rig. Pro tip: this isn’t a load box — make sure you have a speaker or dummy load plugged into the amp while you’re DI-ing! The SLO-100 also boasts a rotary Impedance selector switch that accommodates 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm speaker cabinets.
