Soldano SLO-30 2-Channel 30W 1x12 Combo
Soldano · amplifier
The Soldano SLO-30 112 Combo in Black is a 30-watt two-channel tube combo built around five 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of 5881/6L6 power tubes, paired with a Celestion G12H-150 Redback speaker for a tight, fat low end and laid-back treble. Normal and Overdrive channels each have independent Gain and Master controls, selected via a front-panel toggle alongside a global bright switch and a Clean/Crunch mode switch for the Normal channel. Shared Bass, Middle, and Treble controls plus Presence and Depth give a powerful shared EQ section across both channels. It includes a transparent tube-buffered effects loop and an onboard channel-select toggle for studio use without a footswitch, and comes in Soldano's classic black tolex finish.
