I picked up an SLO mini and have done quite a bit of reading about the unit specs and limitations online.
It is not intended to be used with a reactive load or tube type attenuator in the traditional fashion out of the speaker jack output tap. I believe that the unit could become damaged if used that way. However, the effects send (from the mini) is a line level signal that can be fed into an external amp effect return or another line level accepting device. I ran mine into a Line 6 Catalyst 100 effects return and it worked well. Also, I used ran it into the effects return of the Fryette Power Station PS2 with good results.
I wish that I would have had something like this when I started out playing, vs. the old Crate or Gorilla back in the day LOL. The tones are really pretty solid. This is coming from a tube and tone snob. It really is a cool SS amp. A keeper, in fact.
Don't expect it to sound like a $4000 SLO 100 head. It shares some tonal commonalities...at $250. Enjoy it for what it is, another fun music tool to jam out with.
