In 1987, Mike Soldano revolutionized modern guitar tone with the release of the iconic Super Lead Overdrive 100-watt (SLO-100) tube head. Defining the high-gain sound of late-'80s rock and metal while gracing the rigs of legends like Eric Clapton, Mick Mars, Warren DeMartini, and Mark Knopfler, the SLO remains one of the most revered amp designs in history.

Now, you can put that exact harmonic richness, liquid sustain, and explosive pick attack directly onto your pedalboard. The Soldano SLO Pedal captures the soul of the legendary amplifier in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format without sacrificing any of the touch-sensitive dynamics that made the original head famous.

Key Features & Control Layout

• Cascading Gain Stages: Modeled after the multi-stage cascading gain architecture of the original SLO-100 to deliver authentic tube-like saturation and harmonics.
• Full Amp-Style Interface: Features the exact control layout found on the original amplifier—Gain, Volume, Presence, and a active 3-Band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble).
• Side-Mounted Deep Switch: Emulates the Depth control from the original amp, injecting a walloping low-end punch to fill out clean amps or smaller rigs.
• Versatile Gain Range: Sweeps effortlessly from touch-sensitive bluesy crunch to soaring, saturated lead tones and full-bore metal distortion.
• Iconic Soldano Aesthetic: Finished in classic Soldano white with original-style control knobs, faceplate typography, and signature purple LED.
