Synergy Soldano SLO II Tube Preamp Module

The Soldano SLO II Tube Preamp Module lets you tap into one of the most iconic high-gain tones in rock history. Based on Mike Soldano´s legendary SLO-100 amplifier, this all-tube preamp module provides the thick, creamy gain and endless sustain that shaped the sound of ´80s hard rock. With independent EQs and overdrive switches on each of two channels, you have the control to craft your own signature Soldano tone.

All-Tube Design Delivers Authentic Soldano Sound

Rather than modeling the SLO-100, Mike Soldano designed this preamp module to provide the same rich harmonic performance and touch response as his iconic amp. Powered by a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes, the SLO II module gives you the unmistakable Soldano voice in a simple plug-and-play unit. From searing leads to tight rhythm tones, this module delivers the gain, warmth and articulation that made the SLO-100 a legend.

Sculpt Your Tone with Dedicated Channel EQ

Unlike the original SLO preamp module, the SLO II provides independent three-band EQ on each of its two channels. This gives you the flexibility to precisely shape the tone on Channel A and B individually for recording or performance. Boost the mids for a punchy rhythm sound on one channel and scoop them on the other for a searing lead tone. With bass, middle and treble controls at your fingertips, you have the tone-crafting power of a full SLO-100 in a single preamp module.

Switch Between Overdrive and Crunch

Following the design of the SLO-100, each channel on the SLO II module features an overdrive/crunch switch. In overdrive mode, you get the saturated distortion and endless sustain that made Soldano famous. Activate the crunch setting for a grittier and more dynamic grind. With a switch on each channel, you can have overdrive on one side and crunch on the other or overdrive on both for the most aggressive Soldano tone. This versatility provides a range of gain settings for any playing situation.

Tighten Up Your Sound with Normal/Tight Switch

The SLO II module gives you another way to control your gain with Normal/Tight switches on each channel. In Normal mode, you get the iconic open and resonant Soldano voice. Engage the Tight switch to tighten the low end for a more controlled response as you push the overdrive. The Tight setting is ideal for modern metal and hard rock styles. With a switch on each channel, you have the flexibility to set each side to your perfect gain response.
