Soldano · amplifier
The Soldano SLO-100 is the 100-watt flagship head that established Soldano's reputation, built around a two-channel design (clean and high-gain overdrive) running 5x12AX7 preamp tubes and 4x5881/6L6 power tubes for rich saturation and sustain on the overdrive channel alongside clear, articulate cleans. This listing represents a Custom Shop signed edition with a distinctive purple panel finish, reflecting the same core SLO-100 circuit found across standard-finish units, now with Soldano Custom Shop provenance and a hand-signed touch for collectors.
