I think it’s awesome that you ran this effect on keys and on vocals. Not just guitar 🎸 🎤 🎹

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks, It’s my thing 👌🏼

[@DurvalLacerda]

This demo changed my life

[@ponderersounds3172]

In a good way I hope! Thanks for watching!

[@alienboy2783]

This video is the one to make me buy the slo. I have seen about 100 reverb vids and this and a dark World one were the best. Needless to say im getting both. Thank you for actually showing everything this pedal can do.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for the kind words man! 🙏🏼

[@alienboy2783]

@@ponderersounds3172 no problem man! Seriously you have a sick writing style. Im buying this and the dark star today!

[@silly-o6923]

I watched this demo in the dark at night, and when it finished, I thought I was somewhere else

[@ponderersounds3172]

Mission accomplished I’d say ✌🏼

[@aaronholland9989]

This was a fantastic demo and definitely now subscribed! Really going to help me explore my Slö! Thanks a bunch! Hope you're well during your isölation x

[@ponderersounds3172]

Glad you enjoyed it 🖤

[@spacebass79g98]

Wow! Probably the best demo of this thing. Almost all are with the settings maxed out, your really demonstrate the nuance and dynamics of the effect very well.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Ah thank you! It covers a huge palette of sounds, easily my favourite mono reverb at the moment!

[@CosmosnCarnage]

I've been on the hunt for a new pedal to help with soundscapes for an album I've been wanting to make and this video has sold the Slo for me. Nice work! Keep it up!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Awesome, go get one!

[@CosmosnCarnage]

Mine finally came and it’s as awesome as we’ve seen it here. Very nice pedal!

[@maxkhan187]

Great demo. I have the slo and was unaware of a couple functions you used 👌

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks! Glad you got something new out of it, ya got explore them knobs!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

I've had this for about 6 months and I love it more and more each day... Add a stereo Reverb (just a little) after this for Uber dreamy Slo: either way.... Walrus really nailed it.. Thank you also your playing is so good.. That's all I want to play is moody type stuff

[@ponderersounds3172]

Cheers man 🙌🏽

[@ibrewalot]

By far, the best Slo demo on KZbin...thanx.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Too kind, thanks!

[@dkhsnyder]

Wow, this is the best silent demo. Cant wait to tinker with the SLO!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks man! It’s my fave mono reverb hands down 👍🏼

[@kevinclarke9406]

Fantastic demo of a very cool pedal. Sounds really good with synths etc. Thanks for also showing the deeper side of this - love it!

[@ponderersounds3172]

My pleasure, thanks so much for watching 🖤

[@BILLYTALENTisamazing]

Much like this pedal is an instrument in its own right, this video is a piece of art itself as well! subscribed 40 seconds in. I appreciate some good stop motion, symmetries, sweet painted backdrop (it complimented the slö moon art wonderfully as it looked like the moon was illuminating from the centre!) There is soooo much more I can say about your demoing skills! I was on the fence about getting this as my next reverb or waiting to save up for something more mainstream (blue sky or afterneath*). There is so much versatility to this pretty little dream box and you have helped me make up my picky anxious mind. So excited to see new demos and check out the rest of your channel! Your effort goes a long way!

[@ponderersounds3172]

🙏🏼 thank you for your kind, sweet words Veronica! Hope you make some wonderful sounds with your Slö!!

[@patansy3455]

Just got one today used, gonna play around with it tomorrow when I am off work. So stoked.

[@ponderersounds3172]

A fave of mine 🙌🏼

[@kainowsound]

I’ve spent a whole week trying to find this video again!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Haha glad you like it… *psst* maybe you should subscribe 😜

[@czechplastik]

This is a truly excellent video. Love your work and thank you. You really deserve more views/subs.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thank you mate! Spread the word and share if you like 👍🏼

[@umbertomaresca6192]

ok, now..that's how to demo. thanks much for your dedication.

[@ponderersounds3172]

👍🏼 thanks for watching!

[@aBunchOfPedals]

This is an awesome video. Picking one of these up tomorrow :)

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks so much, my fave mono reverb at the moment 👍🏼

[@shy126]

Perfect demo. Beautiful musical. Subscribed.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Currently my favorite reverb / ambience pedal

[@ponderersounds3172]

I’m enjoying it a heap!

[@thejustingaw]

Well I have some new things to try now! Thank you great video

[@ponderersounds3172]

It got long sleeves that’s for sure!

[@nickybhoof]

my god, thats some beautiful guitaring, u play real nice - i wish i could see what your fingers are doing on the fretboard so i could steal some ideas, damn pedal videos

[@juanshaman3177]

A great demo and a beautiful video. Thanks a lot!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks so much!!

[@chinmeysway]

way good.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Cheers!

[@LysanderLH]

I hear Led Zep. Wonderful!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@ArtOfSoundPedalDemos]

Great Demo 😊 Subbed for sure :)

[@ponderersounds3172]

Cheers! Really appreciate it!

[@underoath16v]

Amazing video! 🙌🏻👏🏻💜

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks you sir!

[@adotbeck]

I like this. My wallet not so much! I only wish they'd made latching sustain the default. Seems so much more useful.

[@ponderersounds3172]

I really appreciate the different options, it feels very holistic and it’s easy to appropriate, where as some reverb even though they sound great can be harder to fit in place. Slö is possibly my favourite mono reverb I’ve owned in years, and I’ve got an absolute bunch of them.

[@chinmeysway]

love the last thing... great musics

[@ponderersounds3172]

Yes that’s such a cool way to use it, such a great pedal 👍🏼

[@blakebruner6173]

The 2nd ditti is certainly a Explosions In The Sky inspired riff. All of them were nice.

[@ponderersounds3172]

I’ve never really listened much to Explosions, I’ll have to check them out properly 👍🏼

[@nickcerniglia8234]

Great video ! Covered it all and helped me decide

[@ponderersounds3172]

One of my absolute fave mono verbs 👍🏼

[@shihokushima6514]

Your video is so crea and you are awesome 🥹 I want to use with guitar of course, but I want to use with my voice also!! This special reverb will arrive tomorrow, I can’t wait🌠

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy it! I’m sure you’ll find it inspiring!

[@AlexPriceMusician]

This is a really great demo!!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArtyShat]

I have the SLÖ and it's amazing but i wonder if I should sell it and upgrade to CB Dark World

[@ponderersounds3172]

I have both and in my opinion that is a side ways movement, not an upgrade. Both have an incredible amount of versatility.

[@diecinuevemx]

#onfire !!! Awesome video man! I wish you can also do a video of the Walrus Fathom! Cheers!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thank you! Maybe one day!

[@brentstabbs2262]

Fathom Shimmer mode mix knob at 100 and x a little under half fed into the Slo dream mode at 100 mix with a fast sine mod sounds like an old western score degraded over the years. The Slo by itself can get a convincing Mellotron sound as well.

[@diecinuevemx]

@@brentstabbs2262 Sweet man! Thank you for sharing! I really wanna buy the Sló but the dealer in Vietnam only has the Fathom, which I actually like a lot also, so I was thinking on getting one.

[@brentstabbs2262]

diecinuevemx The Fathom is very good also, but unless I’m experimenting, I use it mostly as an all-purpose, everyday hall or plate reverb for guitar. The Slo I use almost entirely for experimental stuff, usually with the reverb mix totally maxed out. I love what the Slo brings, but for day to day purposes (including lugging a small, select pedalboard to gigs) the Fathom is indispensable. The Slo is a welcome luxury, though.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Agree, but you can still do a lot of the conventional stuff with Slö also

[@adrianohorn2639]

Nice painting job

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks! That’s how I get my kids involved 👍🏼

[@FernandoGomez-zx7gq]

Yeahhh ima need that OnlyFans account info bud.. Lol seriously tho great demo and your style of playing is very inspiring. Definitely buying this pedal now for Christmas (been eyeing it for too long). Keep it up dude! ❤

[@ponderersounds3172]

Well I was thinking of a doing Patreon soon but if you want some risqué pedal nudes maybe onlyfans is the go 😂 Thanks for the kind words!

[@alienboy2783]

You need more subs dude

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks my dude! Spread the word!

[@ericmontejoberlingen9136]

Great demo!!!

[@ponderersounds3172]

🙏🏼🖤

[@scomu9742]

awesome demo

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks heaps!

[@TheRealMellowFellow]

Wish the pedal had stereo. Great demo

[@ponderersounds3172]

Agreed, but I like using it early in the chain and then have a stereo reverb at the end.

[@IndieIncense]

Just picked up one of these amazing little guys. Anyone have any issues with the rise algorithm only working if their guitar volume is CRANKED up? Like mine will only start to make sounds if my strat is at a 10 and I'm strumming hard. Works completely like any other normal reverb on the other settings. Maybe I just got a dud?

[@ponderersounds3172]

I may not be completely right but I’d say to avoid triggering on finger noise and transients the input detection on that mode has a high threshold so when you roll back your strat you maybe aren’t reaching threshold. Strats do have the lowest output as is when it comes to pickups.

[@MatthewHyatt]

As mentioned, it’s definitely the pickups and its gated algo. I have a riviera that I play often and even at low volumes, say 4, it still works well.

[@madiimad]

I cannot decide between the SLO, the Fathom, and the Skylar. I play rock, metal, and also post rock and synth wave. Which pedal do u recommend? I want a versatile and good one, without the need of xpend too much nor over 200 us. And these 3 are the line. Help me plz!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Skylar is probably the most versatile, but I prefer the sound of the Slö. It’s been ages since I played the Fathom so can’t really weigh in with that one

[@madiimad]

That heart ❤️ means all of them? Do u have any special recommendation? Thx and cheers for your channel

[@madiimad]

@@ponderersounds3172 thanks 😊 much appreciated

[@AlexPriceMusician]

LOL was that a sound clip from the Incredibles??

[@ponderersounds3172]

Haha no it’s from Star Wars

[@nickybhoof]

seriosuly what are you doing from the 2 min mark, thats lovely

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for the kind words man, I can’t actually remember what I was doing but it sounds like three parts to me. None overly complicated but together they do sound pretty good I’ll admit 👌🏼

[@Gumbo72203]

did you use the Slo to get the sound at the very start of this clip? That's the sound i'm looking for!!!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Watch the last couple of minutes, the intro sound is usually from the last section.

[@RedCarRecords]

Do you own a Dark World? If so, which do you prefer?

[@ponderersounds3172]

I do, I have a demo for it too. Very hard to choose a fave but I think I ever so slightly lean towards the Slö

[@peterschaefer1665]

Do these features not exist in their flagship R1?

[@ponderersounds3172]

No it’s quite unique to the R1!

[@CurrDawg]

Seems like a great pedal but for the life of me I can't understand why they didn't include the ability to store created effects except for affordability reasons

[@ponderersounds3172]

Not every pedal nor every player needs presets, this is my fave mono verb regardless! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@CurrDawg]

@@ponderersounds3172 it would just be nice to save things when you dial up a nice effect to be able to recall it if one were using this for live performances

[@CurrDawg]

@@ponderersounds3172 Love your demo videos by the way...nice use of text for info instead of talking over the guitar like other demos!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks mate, appreciate that! Cheers for watching 👍🏼

[@MatthewHyatt]

CurrDawg agreed. I always end up taking a pic with my phone of any settings I love.

[@commanderpoopypants5137]

For the money they cost , it should have at least a couple more ambient choices Mooer r7 x 2 is better all around

[@ponderersounds3172]

Lol sure

[@commanderpoopypants5137]

Warp and sink suck, only 2/3 of this pedal is decent

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thats one opinion, I personally love sink.
