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.
