All that’s left is to let your imagination run wild in your quest for great guitar tone. Collect more modules to expand your tonal possibilities.

Here’s what Synergy say about the Soldano Slo Preamp Module:

When Mike Soldano released the original Super Lead Overdrive (SLO) 100 in the 1980s the sound of rock ‘n’ roll electric guitar was forever changed.

The Soldano SLO-100 is one of the first boutique-style high-gain amplifier heads to ever hit the market. Previous amps had hinted at the evolution of hard rock guitar tone, yet it took the mighty SLO to define its chewy distortion, tight low end, cutting highs, and full-throated mids. The proof of the SLO-100’s legacy can be witnessed every time you find one still backing some of the biggest players in the world.

Mike Soldano-designed

The sound of a Soldano SLO-100 is an experience all high-gain fans need to experience. And thanks to the Synergy Soldano SLO preamp, it’s never been easier. But the SLO module isn’t some modeling or emulation of Soldano’s beloved circuit. Mike Soldano himself designed this dual 12AX7-powered preamp to elicit the same thick sound, creamy gain, and endless sustain of his original amp.

With the addition of a second similarly voiced channel, the SLO Preamp Module offers two switchable voices that will take you from tight crunch to soaring lead with the push of a button. Thanks to the Synergy Soldano SLO preamp, nailing the elusive tone of a cranked Soldano SLO-100 is easily within your reach. The Synergy SLO pre-amp features two channels. Each channel has a gain and volume knob with a shared three band EQ.

Cathode Select Switch

This three position switch allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module. This will affect the feel and tightness. Each amp designer has a specific combination of components that makes up their input tube circuit.

We have selected the three most popular combinations which you can access with this switch. The module will come preset to Mike Soldano’s preferred setting which for the SLO module is position 3 (1.8K resistor and 1uf capacitor).
