SLO-MINI 30W Guitar Amp Head

great little amp. It's of course an idea of how an slo sounds and gets you in the vicinity. Think about their pedals. They will get you close but it's not going to replicate a real slo amp. It sounds great and you can coax some really cool tones out of it. Just don't expect this to replicate a real slo. These things are loud too. Out of all the mini amps. I think the Soldano, Friedman and Bogner sound the best in that order. The Bogner has a lot of low end. The Soldano has the most gain in my opinion. Bogner has the most tonal variety and a bunch of switches for different tones.

could not get any tones i wanted out of it not for me maybe for others i ended up selling & got a positive grid love those tones though

I recently bought the Soldano SLO mini, by complete accident, thinking I was getting a phenomenal deal on a mis-priced SLO 30. Turns out the mini (which I had no idea existed) literally came out that exact same day I was scrolling unintentionally for an SLO 30 and happened to be 30 watts as well - though solid-state. I basically decided I was going to return it before it even got here, but YouTube videos convinced me to at least pull it out of the box and try it. I’ve never been able to get such a variety of lead (something my playing has been missing) sounds dialed up so easily - aka not overly complex - hard to explain, almost like a “cartoon” amp. Not the cleanest sounds supposedly - as the mini version doesn’t include the clean channel, but clean enough I’d say, especially for what you’d likely be trying to get from a 339. This honestly makes practicing more fun, and it picks up the hollowbody overtones in a great way. I just plugged my Epiphone Casino Worn in tonite for the first time - really cool. I have loved the feel of my epiphone casino so far, but haven’t plugged it in much. I thought I just didn’t like the pickups, but they sound good through this amp. This is the case with my 50s Vintera Strat as well. I love the feel of the guitar but it hasn’t seemed to agree with my vintage tube amps. It sounds great through this Soldano mini, which I looked at as a joke and would never have considered buying on purpose. Still 5 stars, but I don’t understand why it wouldn’t have a headphone output.

This amp will not operate unless it has it's own dedicated speaker cabinet. tried a splitter and feeding the line directly to a mier then out to my marshall cabinet which I share with my Blackstar, Bugera and Marshal 50 watt. the only way this amp will work is with a dedicated speaker cabinet. that should be said in the tech specs.

Did not sound like the videos, not even close. Makes me think it was defective.

I paired this up with a Laney 12" cabinet and they create some very good tones; happy with the purchase!

This amp is labeled as a tube amplifier... It is NOT.

Naturally this isn’t my Friedman amp but a great second for a back up. My Friedman blew at a gig and I did not have a back up. This is how I ended up with a mini Solano. For $250.00 it’s bad to the bone for a back-up. It isn’t a $4000 tube but it has a great attack, a great presence, a great amp for doing leads/solo.
