PRELOVED Soldano Mini SLO 30W Guitar Amp Head

Near-new condition. Includes original box and power supply. Fully tested and ready to go.

The Soldano Mini SLO packs the high-gain character of the legendary Super Lead Overdrive platform into a compact 30-watt amplifier head that is easy to use at home, in the studio or as part of a portable rig.

This preloved example presents in near-new condition and comes complete with its original box and power supply. If you've been looking for an affordable way into the Soldano sound, this is a very tidy example.

Classic Soldano-Inspired High Gain

The SLO Mini is voiced around the character of the iconic Soldano SLO-100, with plenty of gain, sustain and definition.

It works particularly well for hard rock, metal and heavier styles where you want a tight low end, plenty of saturation and enough definition to keep rhythm parts from turning to mush.

For lead playing, there's plenty of gain available for sustained notes and harmonically rich overdrive.

Crunch & Overdrive Modes

A Crunch / Overdrive switch gives you two different gain structures, allowing you to move from lower-gain crunch into the more saturated sounds most players associate with the Soldano name.

There's also a Normal / Deep switch, which changes the low-frequency response and feel of the amp.

It's a simple arrangement, but it gives the Mini SLO more flexibility than you might expect from such a small head.

Simple, Familiar Controls

There's no app, modelling software or menu system to navigate.

The front panel gives you:

• Gain
• Level
• Bass
• Middle
• Treble
• Presence

If you're used to a traditional guitar amp, you'll know exactly what to do.

Built-In Effects Loop

The rear-panel effects loop is a particularly useful inclusion on a compact high-gain amp.

It allows delays, reverbs and modulation effects to be placed after the amp's gain stage, rather than having everything running into the front of a heavily driven preamp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Soldano Mini SLO a valve amp?

No. The Mini SLO is a solid-state amplifier inspired by the sound and response of Soldano's famous valve amplifiers. It isn't a miniature valve version of the SLO-100.

Does it need a speaker cabinet?

Yes. This is an amplifier head, so you'll need to connect it to a suitable passive guitar speaker cabinet.

Does it have an effects loop?

Yes. The Mini SLO has a built-in effects loop, making it easy to place delay, reverb and modulation effects after the amp's gain stage.

Is the power supply included?

Yes. This preloved example includes its power supply.

Does it come with the original box?

Yes. The original box is included, and the amp itself presents in near-new condition.

Is it suitable for home use?

Yes. Its compact size makes it particularly convenient for a home or recording setup, although remember that it still needs to be connected to a suitable speaker cabinet.

Our Take

The appeal of the Soldano Mini SLO is pretty simple. It's small, straightforward and gives you a convincing taste of the Soldano high-gain character without stepping up to a full-size SLO.

For tight rhythm sounds, saturated leads and a compact rig, it's a very cool little amp.

This particular example is even easier to recommend because it's in near-new condition and comes complete with its original box and power supply.
