Soldano

Soldano Custom Amplification, founded by Mike Soldano in Seattle, is the definitive American boutique amplifier company that revolutionized high-gain valve tone in the late 1980s. Soldano is famous for creating the SLO-100 (Super Lead Overdrive), an iconic, channel-switching head renowned for its tight, articulate, harmonically rich overdrive, a sound that defined 90s rock and metal. Soldano amps are known for their exceptional clarity, even under massive saturation, and their superb clean channel. Today, the line includes the SLO-30, a lower-wattage version of the flagship, and the accessible Soldano Hot Rod series. Used by elite artists like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Steve Lukather, a Soldano SLO-100 or SLO-30 is the ultimate choice for the professional musician seeking world-class, uncompromising American high-gain valve tone with unparalleled note definition and dynamic response.
