Description
The Soldano SLO-30 Super Lead Overdrive tube amplifier delivers the iconic Soldano roar in a studio- and stage-friendly 30W format. Loaded with a 12" Celestion G12H-150 Redback speaker, this 2-channel combo amp serves up crystalline cleans and face-melting overdrive with equal aplomb. The SLO-30 packs the same preamp design and tone-shaping controls as the legendary SLO-100 in a compact chassis, giving discerning guitarists a harmonically rich high-gain voice that leads the pack.
Normal and Overdrive Channels Provide Sonic Versatility
The SLO-30´s Normal channel yields pristine cleans that can be honed using the Bright and Crunch switches, while the Overdrive channel delivers a thick, saturated tone with scorching highs. Independent preamp gain and master volume controls on each channel enable you to achieve overdriven tones at workable volume levels.
Unparalleled Tone-Shaping Capabilities
Both channels share bass, middle, treble, presence, and depth controls that provide extensive tone-tailoring potential. A rotary impedance selector accommodates 4-, 8- or 16-ohm extension cabs. The depth control, a popular SLO mod, enhances the amp´s tonal range. An ultratransparent effects loop handles pedals and rack units with ease.
Premium Components and Improved Noise Floor
Handcrafted in the US using top-grade components, the SLO-30 features modern grounding, a DC filament supply, and circuit separation for minimal crosstalk and noise. The result is an excellent signal-to-noise ratio without compromising the amp´s signature sound.
Onboard Channel Switching For Maximum Convenience
An onboard toggle switch provides seamless switching between the Normal and Overdrive channels, ideal for studio use or when a footswitch is unavailable. The line out output enables direct recording, and the SLO-30 includes a padded gig bag for safe transport and storage.
