The Super Lead Overdrive family is renowned for its rich, harmonically saturated gain and super-responsive touch dynamics. It was everywhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s — Eddie Van Halen on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Journeyman-era Eric Clapton, and just about everything Mark Knopfler has done since 1987 are but a few examples. In fact, a complete list of SLO-100 users reads like a who’s who of world-famous guitarists: Lou Reed, Vivian Campbell, George Lynch, Gary Moore, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and a number of guitarists here at Sweetwater — the list goes on and on. And how does the SLO-100R achieve this glorious sound? It all starts with four cascading stages of 12AX7-driven preamp gain. Your signal then travels through a tone stack derived from a modified American-style amp. Finally, 100 watts of 6L6-fueled power stand ready to pummel your cabinet into submission. If you’ve never experienced one of Soldano’s Super Lead Overdrive amplifiers
