Comparing the SLO Pedal With The Real Amp

[@jasons.3921]

Out of the many SLO demos that premiered today, I really thought it was cool that you simply played your guitars and left it up to the listener to make their own interpretation of the pedals closeness to the amp. So glad that I watched your demo last.

[@cpkg.mp4]

this is the demo we were all waiting for for this pedal

[@johanhasan4707]

The best SLO pedal demo out there. Period. Well done Rabea!

[@happycadaver]

My goodness that shit sounds SO GOOOOD. Glorious playing as always, Bea!!

[@bigjoeisgood]

I only realize now how cool is this video ! Without comments is perhaps the best way to talk to people when it's about sound. Killer riffs, killer sounds, killer vid ! I love...

[@jonkerrmusic]

The bass is so tight on the opening bit, even with a neck single-coil... siiiiick.

[@LucasMastropasqua]

Pedal sounds great! Glad to see a new product video from you again, it’s been a while.

[@cyanidejunkie]

When I heard the pedal came out, the first thing I did was hit Bea’s channel…. Vid wasn’t up yet. When I got home I checked again. This was a pleasant surprise.

[@carbon_wavelight]

You absolute tonesmith. I'm starting to think you could make literally any piece of gear sound good.

[@jessebreakspear6656]

That's probably because he's not vapid and dumb. with enough experimentation and listening, and sometimes modifying or adding another pedal like for example a treble booster pedal you can make any piece of gear sound good

[@Martos59]

In the hands of a master!!

[@jaydubz7261986]

I'm glad I finally just found a decent sound comparison. Mine will be here Thursday and all I wanted was to hear the pedal! Thanks for being rad Rabea! Running it through the fx loop on my jet city jca20!

[@steveregotti8542]

Pedal is close enough-- sounds great!!!!

[@Feverdream7777]

Nuno would be shakin' that head on that intro riff. Very nice

[@ericvinson4628]

Answering the question: what if Jimi had access to an SLO? Brilliant demo, Rabea!

[@bastianmaoro8278]

Close, but I really *like* that "exploding loud amp" kinda sound of the real deal.

[@LCW_01]

More Strat high gain content ‘Bea! You’re killin’ it man!

[@AndyDion]

The playing and tone on the Strat was sick!!!

[@ScottTipton1111]

Great demo! I just pre-ordered the purple one ;) Weeeeee!

[@zachawee06]

I watch your reviews and demo's of products I have no interest in buying just so I can watch/listen to you play bro! So good!!! Even when you're just noodling #goals

[@CMS069]

RABEA.., Sounds filthy , could've listened to you play for soo much longer..could definitely feel your vibe 🤙

[@unmike19]

Such fun playing man. Cool tones!

[@bridge500t]

What pickups are in the strat? It sounds fantastic!

[@stanislavmigra]

Josefinas.

[@Utube-s8m]

No I think they’re Bareknuckle 63’s. He said he had to listen back and decide, that was the last we heard about them.

[@bridge500t]

@@Utube-s8m I tried going back through his videos but couldn't find his definitive answer, LOL! But at almost $500.00 a pop for the Josefinas, I'll go with a set of Bare Knuckles.

[@spencerfrankel414]

Best demo on this pedal mate. Thank you so much 👍

[@Martos59]

Great demo Rabea, interested in your thoughts as to how it compares to the Friedman small box pedal you did a great review of that I bought and love based on your review.

[@dabuhr3343]

Your hands are doing 90% of the tone anyway. Love your style so much. Am I the only one interested in SLO + JVM410 clean channel? (:

[@ciaran762]

That baritone sound! 🔥🔥

[@paulschlachter4313]

When Rabea plays it this pedal goes to 13 easily! Great sounds.

[@MARK-LUCIA]

Great vid! What IR?

[@tonedog2020]

That strat tone at the end... The only thing I would suggest would be to use the pedal with different amp, as the real SLO 100 will retain some of its character and most of us will not use a real SLO 100 with it.

[@KRayxKodessA]

The only demo video that matters

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

The pedal sounds awesome brother

[@stanislavmigra]

That last bit aroind 5:00 was just Sick.

[@florisbackx1744]

5:00 Rabea connects with his inner Karnivool

[@jessebreakspear6656]

wow, they were close! I noticed the amp sounded a little more splat-ey and sticky so I liked it a teeny tiny bit better but once you factor in drums and bass, vocals, maybe keys, or whatever other instruments I seriously doubt it would matter much. I would say its expensive for a pedal but cheap compared to buying the amp.

[@larrydj549]

Maybe a shootout between the kraken and the slo pedal eh?

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

NICE JOB! Like how you did it a bit differently! Great riffage as always! PEACE BRO \M/

[@jamdalf4343]

All you need to hear starts at 02:30 🤘

[@Lamarro]

Sounds great imo ... Still waiting on the Bea review of the walrus audio eons tho 🤪

[@JanAndersonVO]

Sounds fantastic. Immense! The last bit you were playing sounded rather KingsX-ish - a very good thing! 👍🤘

[@gimmenames9039]

Nice Hapas shirt! Gonna rock a Hapas soon?

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

Great demo and playing Rabea! I've been considering a high-gain pedal for a while, and was considering an Amptweaker Fat Metal (based on your playing on TPS with Dan and Mick), but I almost think that this sounds more versatile. Based on your playing on those actual pedals, and the fact that so many things are hard to find in person right now, which would you prefer for your own rig between the Fat/Tight Metal and the Soldano?

[@vrvvynyl-re-vyvyl5926]

Yep need one ASAP

[@rareform6747]

Clicked on : Now that's Harmonix !

[@deathhockey19]

Obviously, The multi Thousand pound amp sounded better, But for a pedal it sounds dam close. Very impressive. If you can't afford a Soldano and/or just want the Soldano flavour, this is definitely a great option.

[@tman6495]

Still the note definition/clarity of the 100 stands above the pedal..(bose headset)

[@alejandrosebastiancastillo2276]

Totally versátile!!!

[@alejandrosebastiancastillo2276]

Hi!! I win somethig !!?? Great!!!

[@alejandrosebastiancastillo2276]

I win something !!! Great!!

[@charlesandhisworld]

pedal sounds GREAT

[@austinmidwest7062]

obviously it doesn't sound the same as the amp, but it sounds good

[@TheTopHat-1]

Rabea+Strat=MeClicking.

[@beestew79]

Damn!!!

[@truthfactreality6814]

I had my slo pedal few days now. It’s probably the best pedal I’ve ever owned

[@blue_mountains28]

It's a monster 👻

[@VincentVegardSvart]

The amp roar more and more

[@Bacontruffle]

While the pedal doesn't quite sound nearly as ballsy, and to my ears the amp itself sounds a lot more "full", this has to be absolutely amazing for a gigging musician who wants to have that Soldano sound without having to bring an expensive actual amp with him Or you could use NeuralDSP's Soldano plugin, but that's a bigger hassle

[@Bacontruffle]

@Bloom Tik Bloom Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose though...?

[@Bacontruffle]

@Bloom Tik Bloom I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here... the zvex distortion isn't a pre-amp pedal like this is, you're not going to emulate a Soldano with that. Why I said it kinda defeats the purpose is that - like I said in my original comment - in my eyes this pedal shines at being an easy way to get a good Soldano tones on the move without having to bring the whole amp. If you're having to mix a bunch of pedals, that kinda defeats the purpose. At that point, just bring your laptop and an Audio Interface, the Soldano plugin from NeuralDSP is the closest thing you can get without actually having a Soldano amp, anyways.

[@patricetrahan7287]

Close enough without costing 3k$

[@joseeduardoperezmellado905]

Baritone SLO 😳

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Considering the fact the pedal is going into the imput of a real slo, with all the power amp tube stages and the same IR. The difference is huge. BTW a great pedal but unfortunately not magic. For now the only way I could find to steal my best friend’s slo was to make advanced ToneX captures last week. It smokes my kemper and my AxefxIII and bring me the slo feel. Good with a Charvel AND with a Stratocaster on neck position. THE slo sound. Tasty.

[@Night.haunter]

Damn close your eyes at 2:21 and you wouldn't notice the difference

[@stanislavmigra]

First couple licks were off, but you managed to get them darn close. They certainly both kids of same father. Pedal is tighter with some extra fizz, while amp sound less controlled but HUUUGE. As one will expect from solid state pedal vs tube amp.

[@rb032682]

cool

[@monstruonegro05]

I know that I'll end up buying it...😅

[@Ob1311-x8b]

🍺👍

[@andremouracosta]

Damm

[@marvinmartin3438]

Dude, I need this box! How many watts is it? Is it gig compatible? Fender friendly? Can it get the ever elusive EVH "negro sound?" Asking for a friend

[@stevenorton7585]

Whenever I see a guy who loves humbuckers playing single coils something wrong

[@standingbadger]

I like the sound of the pedal. Doesn’t sound much like the amp though.

[@bennyharderguitar]

I know it’s iconic, but I really dislike the gain structure of Soldano amps.
