The Soldano SLO-30 Signed Black/Purple is a Custom Shop head edition of the standard SLO-30 Super Lead Overdrive, housed in a snakeskin covering with a metal grille and finished in a distinctive black and purple color scheme, with a hand-signed touch reflecting its Custom Shop provenance. The underlying circuit is the same acclaimed 2-channel, 30-watt SLO-30 voicing found in standard-finish units, sharing the SLO-100's fundamental tonal DNA in a more manageable head format.
