Soldano SLO 100

[PiggySmallz]

Even for all you lead players, I keep going back to Killswitch Engage. They used SLO on their cover of Holy Diver and the lead tones are some of my favorite ever. I absolutely love the timbre of those pinches in the solo.

I think Joel used a modded SLO during that era so that sounds correct. That was the first tone that ever felt i needed to recreate.

what a list

regardless of pros/cons people feel these days about the SLO, it obviously made its mark!

The SLO is one of those amps I get stuck on the lower gain channel. The Overdrive channel is the one most people think of and it is unique. Love it or hate it, it does what it does. The clean is OK, but the crunch channel, I can just lose myself in for hours.

This. The Crunch channel gets overlooked with the SLO and yet it's where stay most of the time. It sounds great from slight overdrive up to heavy crunch and is readily sculpted with a pedal out front when I want that. I do think the clean is really nice with some single coils into it but it's not a sound I go for that often.

I threw some NOS 12AT7s in V1 and V3, run both volumes dimed and use an attenuator. I think the crunch channel is best. Sounds glorious.

The Larry PMM reminds of a SLO that is modern and just super articulate . With something else going on I can’t explain . Thought I’d add that
