Plug Into the Definitive Modern High-gain Tone
Near the tail end of the 1980s, the Soldano Super Lead Overdrive — known as the SLO-100 — established the definitive modern high-gain tone. Remarkably, Neural DSP's Soldano SLO-100 Suite packs this fire-breather's iconic cascading-gain sizzle into a powerful software plug-in. Just like the original guitar amplifier, the SLO-100 Suite's two versatile channels dish out crystalline cleans, whiskey-soaked electric blues, hard-rock crunch, and high-octane saturation with equal aplomb. You get simple yet effective tone-shaping controls, with independent preamp gain and master volume knobs for maximum sonic flexibility. There are also four stompbox-style pre-effects, a 9-band graphic EQ, and a comprehensive cab-sim module for true-to-life mic'd-cab sounds. A cache of time-based effects rounds out the Soldano SLO-100 Suite's robust feature set. Countless guitarists have achieved their signature tones using this modern classic — now, thanks to Neural DSP, so can you!

Two versatile channels of legendary tones
The Soldano SLO-100 Suite is a dead ringer for the real-world amplifier, right down to its channels and control set. This amp-emulation software's Normal channel churns out crystal-clear clean tones with ease, which you can sculpt to a razor-sharp edge with the Bright switch or grunge up with the Crunch switch. The Soldano SLO-100 Suite's Overdrive channel yields a thick, saturated sound with loads of high-octane sizzle. The rest of your tone shaping is handled by shared Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence, and Depth controls. From Journeyman-era Clapton to For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge-era Van Halen and beyond, the Soldano SLO-100 Suite delivers the legendary tones you've always coveted.
Four stompbox-style pre-effects and more
With the Neural DSP Soldano SLO-100 Suite in your plug-in folder, you'll gain more than an amplifier; you'll get an entire guitar rig. The guitarists here at Sweetwater are especially impressed by this software's pre-effects. These four stompbox-style modules (Compressor, Overdrive-1, Overdrive-2, and Chorus) enable you to cop many classic tones — no extra processors required. With subtle settings, Compressor adds girth and sustain to saturated leads; with extreme settings, it achieves hyper-squashed '80s clean tones without breaking a sweat. Overdrive-1 functions as a boost, while Overdrive-2 behaves like a traditional OD pedal. Chorus delivers vintage-style modulation that sounds ripped straight out of a late 1980s recording session. To top it off, the Soldano SLO-100 Suite includes a 9-band EQ for fine-tuning your overall frequency response, in addition to immersive Delay and Reverb effects with simplified controls.
A comprehensive cab-sim module
As great as the Soldano Super Lead Overdrive sounds, it needs a killer speaker cab to really do it justice. The Soldano SLO-100 Suite takes this fact into account with a comprehensive cab-sim module with hundreds of ear-grabbing IRs crafted by Adam "Nolly" Getgood. You get six virtual microphones that you can move around the speakers until you nail the sound you're aiming for — just like you would in a physical recording studio. On top of that, the Soldano SLO-100 Suite allows you to load your own IR files for maximum versatility.
