Soldano's Super Lead Overdrive 100 set the standard for modern high-gain amplification. Back in 1987, Seattle-native Mike Soldano built one of the first high-gain amp heads, with searing harmonics and the perfect balance of gain, sustain and tight touch response, the SLO completely changed what players came to expect from amps. Favoured by artists as varied as Mick Mars, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, the SLO-100 was the blueprint for Eddie Van Halens famous 5150 amp.
The new Soldano Super Lead Overdrive 100 delivers upon the "SLOs" legendary reputation in both appearance and performance but with the addition of some wildly popular, player-requested features.
Jack runs you through the return of the Soldano SLO-100, what features have made the SLO-100 such a highly regarded amplifier and some of the revisions that have been made to this pivotal amp, which has taken it to yet another level.
We wanted to show off just how versatile this amplifier was, so we used a range of guitars and pedals to really show what its made of. Including, a Fender Custom Shop Strat, a Gibson Custom 1968 Les Paul and even a Mayones Aquila covering clean, crunch and high gain tones respectively.

@AndiKravljaca 4 года назад

The really awesome thing about the Soldano sound which you touch on at about 5:00 is that you don't need to mash the gain to get great sustain. A gain setting of 3-4 on the overdrive channel is plenty to get it to sing out, and that's really a testament to how nicely articulate and defined the sound can be, despite sounding like there's more gain than there really is, so to speak. To me, Soldanos sound like the very best 'pushed 800' sound you can imagine.

@therooster6071 Год назад

@@novagoth did you match the SLO head with the matching 2x12? Also how is your clean headroom? Can you go loud with slight break up? I understand the clean setting drops in volume vs the crunch setting. Do you use a boost to help with the volume drop on the clean setting, or do you enjoy just running the crunch channel by itself as a slight break up setting? Just curious to know your experience with the amp after owning it for two years. I will greatly appreciate your thoughts.

@novagoth Год назад

@@therooster6071 I bought the head alone. I’ve ran it through a evh 4x12 stealth lll cab, a Marshall 2x12 silver jubilee cab. Clean was better on the jubilee imo. Never went full on volume in the house. Headroom was fine for me. Haven’t boosted

Gary Moore used the SLO-100. At least for a little while. I always liked his tone better on Soldano. Impossible to know if he was using a customized one. Although Gary would have sounded like Gary on absolutely every amplifier. Gary had a minimal pedal board, I always wondered why Marshall never built a Signature Gary Moore amp.

@aussie_philosopher8079 4 года назад

I like the new SLO 100 but theres a difference compared to the original, the original has this laser precision/articulation in the mid range and high end, hard to explain but you know when you hear a soldano.

@81giorikas 4 года назад

There are some differences in the circuit as well. The loop was moved, which means a tube (2 stages, one normal one cathode follower) now does some compression after the master volume and not sequentially as before. The original SLO (without loop) was in fact more like this one, but without the loop. If I remember soldano has the loop bypassed in the 2020 version. So play that configuration. The classic SLO that most people rave about is 5 12ax7 and different than this one. And they changed the classic 39K resistor of the third stage to 33K. Why? Probably because they wanted some more harmonics in that stage. They maybe lost some with the tube of the loop going after the master. 33K is slightly gainier and hairier than the 39K. So now they cloned the hughes and kettner triamp preamp, which was a rectifier preamp clone with some mods which was an SLO clone with some mods etc. And they use a different layout and different transformers. RU-vid will get it's A/B with the old one, but to be fair you can't easily compare them for accuracy, I mean even excluding the differences you should get the same tubes in tehm with the same order to get the same eq...
