Soldano SLO-100 Guitar Head 1989 Black Tolex Seattle w/ DeYoung Transformers
The 1989 Soldano Super Lead Overdrive 100 is the amp that started it all—the high-gain titan that rewrote the book on boutique firepower. Hand-wired in Seattle by Mike Soldano himself, this first-year SLO delivers 100 watts of relentless tube saturation, chewy mids, and razor-edged clarity. It features two footswitchable channels, a shared EQ, and the unmistakable bite and punch that made it a go-to for everyone from Warren Haynes to EVH. Early serial number 89146 places this one among the original DeYoung transformer builds, housed in classic black tolex with the signature script logo. No Depth mod, no frills—just the pure, unfiltered SLO tone that lit the fuse on modern high-gain.
