SLO II module: two channels with independent gain, volume, and three-band EQ
Each SLO II channel can be adjusted independently rather than sharing those controls.

Independent shopping perspective
This 20W EL84 bundle gives the SYN-20IR’s clean channel a Soldano SLO II module with two independently adjustable channels. Each module channel has its own gain, volume, and three-band EQ, plus overdrive and crunch switches for moving through its available gain settings. The head expands the setup with selectable power-amp modes, four channel-programmable IRs, MIDI preset capability, and direct, headphone, and speaker connections. It suits a modular guitar rig centered on the SLO II’s high-gain voice without giving up clean-channel access.
