Guys - THIS PEDAL IS VOICED TO RUN INTO THE PREAMP OF AN AMP. NOT into the fx return. Please just trust me on this! It is not a dedicated preamp. It is a distortion box designed to be used like 99% of distortion boxes that have ever been created, into the front end of an amplifier. Thanks- The Management

You're not alone :) But the only problem with Pete and his demos is that he makes literally everything sound so frickin' great that he single-handedly has caused major wallet damage for legions of players. Including me. lolz And yes, this Soldano pedal is so up my alley and I must get my hands on one and try for myself.

@@joesatchton212 It does sound great. A little steep, but good pedals demand that price. But, this sounds every bit as good (probably better) than the SLO mini head, and without having to be tied to an amp with no clean channel.

So glad I bought this pedal. I have a first production run tube screamer, immediately knew it was special, but could not imagine what a legend it would become. This SLO gives me the same feeling that original TS did, there is nothing like it that I know of, it's special. Experience tells me it will go down in history just like the TS.

@SpectralUltra Ай бұрын

Me too. I boost it with a tube powered Blackstar dept- 10 pedal via Randall 100w and 4x12 cab and it gets articulate as hell (lot more response than the the amp slo itself), still retaining the Soldano sound, with warmth of the tube boost. . And sings like nothing else. Gain on 7 o'clock. .

Pete. You constantly amaze us. You do the best gear presentations by far of anyone I've ever witnessed and every time you come up with a demo tune for that product it seems to be the perfect guitar composition that not only inspires the listener it usually delivers goosebumps at not extra charge!! Thank you for your dedication to your craft,. Every manufacturer who is lucky enough to have you demo their stuff is lucky as f**k to have you representing them. Your friend and appreciator, Jeff Pevar (who played with Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Bette Midler, CSN, Jazz Is Dead and recently touring in an Allstar Ensemble playing the music of Pink Floyd called The Gilmour Project. After hearing you play this pedal I think I have to get one of these for this upcoming tour! Stay well and keep up the stellar work!

My buddy Dan (who’s since passed, RIP dude 🤙) owned a SLO100 back in the day. This was during high school when I didn’t know there was a world beyond Mesa. I thought the rectoverb (I’d saved up for all summer) was the best amp on planet earth and in fairness, that amp was BEAUTIFUL. But the SLO100 was on another level. That thick, midrange beauty that saturated the room…the SLO was the amplifier that opened up the world of boutique amplifiers to 18-year-old me back in 2002.

That sounds so close and also/most importantly… manageable volume wise. I had an SLO some years ago and it was absolutely incredible. Problem was that in order to be in the “zone”, that master had to be at 1:00. Even with the gain low it is ridiculous loud at that master setting. I had more beef than our bassist. I wish I could have afforded to keep things I was not using a lot. It was a glorious sounding amp. That pedal delivers the character.

Thank you for the vid. what a great player you are! Pedal sounds really good. I can hear why you said the pedal wants a brighter amp...My immediate thought was the SLO sounds brighter, less stuffy ( like a stuffy nose congested thing) than the pedal. Pedal for sure has the meat of the tone, character, but sounds like a blanket needs to be taken off when directly A/B'd to your amp IMHO. I imagine a tad of eq dialing or maybe a bbe...something like that would get the 2 virtually indistinguishable potentially. Again thank you for showing this bad boy off!

We all know that the best way to run an OD pedal is to run it in front of an amp that is slightly breaking up.
