Soldano SLO 100* Normal and
Overdrive channels, this preamp allows
you to toggle between both clean and
crunch channels using a single
footswitch.
●Easy, flexible controls

volume control, adjusting this pedal is
just like working with an amplifier. The
on-board reverb is a bonus to give your
tone more depth. Optional CAB SIM lets
you add a cab simulator to the tone.

The footswitch can be configured as an
on/off switch or an A/B channel switch.
