SUPER LEAD OVERDRIVE 100-WATT GUITAR (SLO-100)  

AMPLIFIER MANUAL 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the legendary 100-watt Super Lead 
Overdrive guitar amplifier.  This self-contained amp head is the finest 
hand-built, all-tube guitar amplifier available anywhere.  Whatever your 
musical style, the infinite tonal variations, ease of use, versatility, and 

rugged, road-tested construction make it the ultimate guitar amp.  It’s a 
classic and an investment that will last a lifetime.  In fact, the SLO-100 is 
covered by a lifetime warranty. 
 

The SLO-100 incorporates two independent preamps, Normal and 
Overdrive, driven by four 12AX7/7025 tubes (five with the effects loop 
option).  It features individual preamp gain controls and separate master 
volume controls with absolutely noise free channel switching.  The 

available options for the SLO-100 include a tube-buffered effects loop 
and variable “slave” output.   
 
The Normal channel offers a Clean/Crunch Switch.  When set to clean, 
the gain is cut, providing full, clean, undistorted warmth, which is 

incredibly responsive and alive.  When switched to crunch, the Normal 
channel responds with higher gain and a tough, metal edged crunch.  
The Bright Switch offers sparkling highs to the Normal channel adding to 
its versatility. 

Soldano products have a lifetime warranty on workmanship 
(the SLO-100 warranty is transferable).  Parts and labor are 

warranted for ten years (excluding tubes, transformers, 

damage, and normal wear and tear).

 

WARNING:  NEVER OPERATE THIS GUITAR AMPLIFIER WITHOUT 

SPEAKER(S) OR A SUITABLE “DUMMY LOAD” PLUGGED INTO THE 

SPEAKER JACK(S).  FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE 

TO THE OUTPUT TRANSFORMER AND FAILURE OF THE 

AMPLIFIER.
