I can't lie, this is a great demo of this head. Like George Lynch said in the Soldano launch video, "It gets you 75% of the tube SLO at 1/20th the cost." I'm also liking the idea of using two different mini heads (SLO and Friedman?) for an inexpensive stereo rig. Thanks for putting this vid together!

It's a great sounding amp, for 1/20th of the cost of the 100. If you just use it at home this is the way to go. edit: with the strat it sounded closer, with the humbucker I actually preferred the 100. It sounded less muddy, much more defined on the notes. The brightness really shines through with more push from the pickup..

If you're on a tight budget, I recommend getting the Kraken V4 Preamp paired with a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200. You can start with the kraken and use your katana's as a poweramp at first and upgrade to the Seymour Duncan later (not that you'd even need to upgrade honestly). That'll get you full on tube amp distortion for a fraction of the price.

It is based on left overs of a Lummerland Express Tube Town amp kit using an ECC99 in push-pull as power tube ( great low wattage kit by the way) and 2x 12ax7 (for gain stages 2,3,4 and cathodyne phase inverter). To save a tube and reduce size, gain stage 1 and the tone stack voltage follower are made using a LND150 high voltage fet. Really cool and powerfull micro amp overall !

These mini heads really look great and sound pretty decent too. And a very smart marketing idea too. Take a 50 euro barebone 1 channel 30 watt transistor amp. Buy a license for about 100 euro per item, so you can make it look like a brand name amp. Trust that most guitarist listen with their eyes, and sell them for 250. Genius ! (and its working, i do feel tempted to buy one, i guess i really am a guitarist ;))

I think the biggest tonal difference between the two is that the mini is fed by the preamp only, while the SLO 100 has the power section (as mentioned) with the depth, harmonics, and response characteristics imparted on the overall sound. Great comparison, BTW! Kudos for demonstrating the range of gains and for boosting the front end.

Great stuff Bea, both sound fantastic, I'm well impressed by the Mini!........ But hearing your Sig through the 100 was something special. What an absolute UNIT, I've never wanted an SLO more 😉

I appreciate comparing this to the real head. I would say it sounds muddy when compared in high gain. It lacks the tightness and clarity. I tested this and the Diezel mini on a 1X12 V30 cab.....ultimately the Diezel went home with me. I found the SLO to come up short on the lowend where the Diezel is FAT in the dept. Not to say the SLO mini is garbage, just wasn't what I was looking for in a live practice rig. I do spend most of my time on Amplitube 5 so both are there and do sound better cuz there are endless cabs, effects and mics to use to dial in that perfect tone.

For $250, these things are very cool. I'd be super interested to hear a comparison to the 20w tube hybrids like the Joyo Jackman and Zombie, as well as the Orange Micro Dark. I have a couple of those 20w tube hybrids and the sound and volume they deliver for under $200 is just wild.

Thanks Rabea for the great demo of the SLO Mini! Would be fun to try it for some High On Fire tunes.

Great demo, really nice to see the comparison with bigger brother. I actually ordered the SLO mini, expected delivery from Thomann was early next year 😭😭

Honestly, a lot of the difference in the sound from the heads could be chalked up to headroom. The 100 watt sounds way less compressed even at the high gain settings. The little head compresses way more, but it sounds so smooth.

The clean tones are very nice with the strat. Sort of complex and very touch sensitive. I have got a hold of a used slo mini, and can not wait to pick it up at the post office next week.

I have to say, without reading the comments, that the mini lacked bass and mids. It did sound good. My first thought was if somebody used it they could make up for that minor problem in a studio.

Solid state and digital have gotten so good since the 90's. When I was a kid they were pretty terrible and fizzy for the most part, other than the Roland JC and a few others. Loving my THR 30 II. Can probably get similar tones with it if I played around with the settings. Only problem with that one is that I don't think you can hook it up to a cab. But it does have lines out for a PA system.
