The HEAVY TONE mimics the tonal characteristics of the infamous Soldano SLO-100™ high gain Overdrive channel as heard on countless recordings and in live setups all over the world. Featuring a tonestack similiar to the Soldano™/Marshall™ amplifiers, the HEAVY TONE is the result of a design process that utilized innovative analog technology to nail that wonderful tube warmth and preserve a vacum tube's dynamics with a definition that sets it apart from the competition.

Features include hardwire true bypass and a built-in cabinet simulator for routing the output signal directly to a mixer, computer or audio interface.
