Four unique algorithms complement the SLO-100: a compressor, boost, overdrive, and a vintage chorus
Neural DSP has launched the Soldano SLO-100 X guitar plugin, a perfect virtualisation of the legendary amplifier that originated American high-gain guitar tone, inspired by the unique circuitry of guitar amplification that Mike Soldano pioneered over four decades ago.

In the annals of guitar amplification, few names command the reverence and awe bestowed upon Mike Soldano and the Soldano SLO-100 – widely regarded as being responsible for the American high-gain sound that’s tweaked the tone of guitarists such as Vivian Campbell, Warren DiMartini, Mark Knopfler, and many other guitar greats.
“Capturing Soldano’s solder-soaked genius became a goal for Neural DSP. In 2021, we introduced the Soldano SLO-100 plugin, and recreating every nuance of this extraordinary amplifier was an immense responsibility that we did not take lightly,” states Douglas Castro, Neural DSP Technologies CEO. “Now, in 2024, we’re pleased to revisit this titan of tone and update it with our most advanced plugin technology. We’re proud to introduce the Soldano SLO-100 X — everything a Soldano amplifier is, captured in virtual form. And like the original SLO-100 plugin, it’s also quite an accomplishment.”
Pre Effects
Four unique algorithms complement the SLO-100: a compressor, boost (OD1), overdrive (OD2), and a vintage chorus. Each of these processors is tuned to perfectly complement the sound.
Amplifier
Just like the actual amplifier, the plugin features two channels covering the entire dynamic range required by the modern guitarist. “Normal” is a crystalline clean channel. The “Bright” switch provides a treble boost for extra definition. The “Crunch” switch adds a gain boost and an extra layer of warm-sounding saturation. “Overdrive” provides additional gain, perfectly balancing presence and fatness, ideal for both driving rhythms or soaring leads.
