Soldano SLO Pedal

Presenting the all new Soldano Super Lead Overdrive SLO Pedal.

In the realm of boutique guitar amplification, Mike Soldano stands as one of the forefathers. In 1987 he created the now legendary Super Lead Overdrive 100-watt tube head (SLO-100 for short), which helped set the standard for modern high-gain amplification and nearly four decades later, is still one of the most coveted amps in history.

The SLOs drive channel found a home with renowned rock guitarists like Mick Mars (Motley Crue), Warren De Martini (Ratt), and Howard Leese (Heart), while the bluesy crunch channel made the SLO the first choice for non-metal stalwarts, such as Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore and Lou Reed, to name a few.

The SLO-100 is famous for being one of the most detailed-sounding high-gain guitar amplifiers of all time. Until now, it’s been challenging to capture the amp’s nuanced character in a pedal format.

The release of the new Super Lead Overdrive pedal changes that, retaining the perfect balance of gain, sustain, and touch response the SLO is known for. Crafted using the same cascading gain stages as the flagship amp, the SLO pedal is the perfect way to get that signature Soldano sound on your pedalboard.

The new SLO pedal front panel boasts the same controls for Gain, Volume, Presence, and a 3-band EQ as the 100-watt tube amp it is based on, and the side-mounted Deep switch nails the amp’s depth-knob low-end punch.

These controls take you from harmonically rich crunch to some of the most famous high-gain in history.
