About this listing
The Soldano Super Lead Overdrive isn't just another high gain tube head amp - it's much more than that. The cascading gain preamp design of this impressive firestop delivers a thick, juicy sizzle that lends itself to everything from whiskey-soaked electric blues and searing jazz fusion to tooth-shaking metal. And then there's the dynamic sensitivity of the SLO-100, which stands in there with the best of its boutique vocals brethren. This 100-watt, 2-channel amp head features simple yet eminently effective tone shaping, along with independent preamp gain and master volume controls to achieve harmonically overdriven tones at manageable levels. You also get a buffered effects loop for your pedals, while a variable slave output allows for effortless DI-ing. Beyond that, a rotary impedance selector lets you pair the SLO-100 with a myriad of speakers. The Soldano Super Lead Overdrive is constructed from premium military grade components for ultimate durability. Countless world-class guitarists swear by this modern classic. Try an SLO-100 for yourself, and you'll see why!Super Lead Overdrive is renowned for its rich, harmoniously saturated gain and ultra-responsive tactile dynamics, and it was everywhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s - Eddie Van Halen on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Journeyman- Eric Clapton era, and just about everything Mark Knopfler has done since 1987 are just a few examples. In fact, a comprehensive 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 get this wonderful sound? It all starts with four cascading stages of 12AX7 preamp gain. Your signal then passes through a stack of sounds derived from a modified American-style amp. Finally, 100 watts of 6L6 powered power supply is ready to submit your cabinet for bidding.
