General
If you've always craved the power and tone of a Soldano Super Lead Overdrive amp but just don't have the budget or the space for it, then the Soldano SLO Mini Head serves as an outstanding alternative. This 30-Watt-strong amplifier head shapes exactly the same rich overdrive and crunch as the original, but comes in a more compact and lightweight box. As well as a full set of tone controls, an extra Normal/Deep voicing switch and Crunch/Overdrive modes have been supplied for switching up the sound at will, while a high-quality effects loop has also been integrated to support your pedalboard. In short, this mini-amp can hold its own on smaller stages and in the studio as well as at home.
The Soldano Super Lead Overdrive: Iconic Sound
Mike Soldano created the original and legendary Super Lead Overdrive 100 Watt valve amplifier head back in 1987 and set a new standard for modern high-gain amplifiers. Four decades later, it's one of the best-known and best-loved models in the guitar-verse. Renowned guitarists including Mick Mars of Motley Crue, Warren de Martini of Ratt and Howard Leese from Heart have shaped their signature sounds with the help of the potent and response drive channel. Meanwhile, the more blues-flavoured crunch channel has been the go-to of eminent guitarists like Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore and even Lou Reed - to name a few.
