Soldano

Soldano
Soldano was born from Mike Soldano’s relentless Quest for Tone — a journey that began in Seattle in the late '70s and led to the creation of the legendary SLO-100 amplifier. What started as a personal pursuit soon captured the ears of guitar greats like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Lou Reed. Known for their uncompromising sound, meticulous craftsmanship, and signature high-gain clarity, Soldano amps are more than gear — they’re instruments of expression. Still built in the U.S.A. with the same passion and precision, Soldano continues to shape the sound of rock and beyond.

Soldano SLO Pedal

Overdrive pedal based on legendary Super Lead Overdrive SLO-100 Amplifier

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 new Super Lead Overdrive pedal changes that, with the perfect balance of gain, sustain, and touch response the SLO is known for.

Soldano SLO Plus Pedal

2-Channel Chrunch and Overdrive pedal based on legendary Super Lead Overdrive SLO-100 Amplifier

The SOLDANO SLO PLUS captures the playing experience of both the SLO-100 amplifier’s legendary channels in a powerful, compact new pedal. It delivers the genuine Soldano Overdrive high gain channel as well as the Normal channel’s inspiring crunch tones, in a single housing. This pedal features a range of intuitive controls for shaping your tone with precision. Volume sets the overall output level, while Presence filters the high end for added clarity. The Gain knob adjusts the amount of distortion, increasing as you turn it clockwise. A classic Soldano-style three-band EQ lets you dial in Bass, Mid, and Treble frequencies, and the Deep control enhances low-end punch, adding fullness and depth to your sound.

Whether used as a standalone preamp or in conjunction with other gear, the SLO PLUS Pedal captures the essence of the SLO-100's renowned sound in a portable package.

Legendary SLO-100 Tone—Two Channels of Iconic Overdrive in a Compact Pedal

While many pedals chase the unique sounds of the legendary SLO amplifier, the SLO PLUS PEDAL truly embodies them…all of them. The SLO PLUS puts the entire SLO experience right on your pedalboard. In 1987, Mike Soldano created the now legendary Super Lead Overdrive 100-watt tube head, setting the standard for modern high-gain amplification for nearly four decades, and is still one of the most coveted amps in history today. The SLO’s Overdrive channel quickly found itself backing renowned rock guitarists like Mick Mars (Motley Crue), Warren de Martini (Ratt), and Howard Leese (Heart), with the amp’s gorgeous Normal channel becoming the first choice for non-metal stalwarts such as Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore, and Lou Reed.
