I've owned some good amp in a box pedals, but I tend to just like a good Boss like an SD-1, DS-1 or Blues Driver, maybe even a Tube Screamer. But I definitely want to check this one out as the SLO has always been my favorite boutique amp ever since I tried one in Hollywood in 1986. They are the Ferrari of high gain amps. What I loved about the SLO was the clarity and the rich tone. It's not just the gain but the headroom, the control, the smooth sensitivity of the tone controls. And they are built like tanks.

@Tyrannosaurine Жыл бұрын

I have some dirt pedals: a soul food, a rams head muff, a SuperFuzz, my Marshall head kicks a lot of gain out on its own. Lots of good options. But I have for the last 12-18 months been running my amp slightly dirty with a Boss DS-1 permanently on (use a volume pedal to decrease volume and get a good scruffy clean tone. And it sounds great. So long as you keep the tone knob on the DS-1 around 10 o’clock, 11 o’clock tops; it sounds incredible for heavy space rock. I like playing with dynamics, and being able to adjust my volume/gain on the fly. With the volume pedal, I get much more control over it.

This was to be expected after they released the SLO mini head. The existing mini heads (BE, BOgner...) were based on existing pedal designs, put in a box witha class D power section. For the SLO, they had to do it the other way around.

I like the sound with the Moxie before the SLO, great idea! Probably this could also be done with a MXR Duke of Tone since it's also a TS style pedal?

Hey, the Duke of Tone is more of a King of Tone (so a Blues Breaker type circuit) but still, it would work in front of the Soldano.

If you don’t have an amp to run this pedal with, then yes. The Mini SLO head is the better deal/choice. If you have an amp that takes pedals well though, the SLO pedal gets you closer to the original SLO 100‘s tone.

Sadly I got this and was deeply disappointed. My Friedman BE-OD deluxe is more responsive and satisfying than this unit. I tried the OD pedal before it and it didn’t really enhance the performance. I used both active & passive pickups in hopes of finding a happy medium and that didn’t work. It currently is a paperweight of all things…
