Soldano SLO 30 Classic Head

almost 10 years back I tried for first time real deal - SLO 100 in snakeskin, the old real deal amp and immediately fell in love with dynamics and gain structure of all channels

this one made myself finally happy because:
- its 30watt tube amp which rocks even on lower volume
- has additional depht presence which I was missing on the old one (not sure but I can bet there was no go to fine tune deep tones better)
- its real deal SLO!! :)

Immediately fell in love with this one, tons of sounds from 80s to modern sounds, even has clean and nice sounding clean channel.
Also SLO 30 has great effects loop as expected in this price range, if they say its great, its really great in person! :)

It might seemed to be a little pricey, but you will get what you are paing for, real deal Super Lead Overdrive :)

(to be not that superlative, ofcourse its 30 Watt amp, so it has a little less headroom than 100 Watt amp, but you want play at home with no cracking windows, right ? :) Also if that is a no-go for you, let me say that if you have a 100watt amp and you use an attenuator, you are tonesucking your amp - always, so I tend to go with LESS is MORE :) SLO-30 is loud and LOUD enough for playing gigs even on big stages :)

keep on rocking guys !! :)

Everything that is said about this amp is true. Amazing clean/crunch channel and roaring overdrive channel. Very diverse amp and it packs a punch. Gigged with it and didn't get it past 3 on master volume on overdrive channel. Depth control makes it sound like much bigger amp than it is (even though I wouldn't go overboard with depth control). Build quality seems really good and it's portable enough for gigs. Only downside that i noticed is that there is significant volume drop between crunch and clean setting on first channel. I know it is designed that way, but still it is something to keep in mind. You can work around it since you can still get pretty good cleans on crunch setting. It is very straight forward amp so don't expect many bells and whistles like in Mesa/Boogie amps. Controls are very simple and good thing is that once you set your controls (they are shared between two channels) they often sound good on both channels so there is no need for separate channel controls (if you want you can always use EQ pedal). All in all, beast of an amp!
