Ladies and gentlemen, your SLO Mini preamp section.

I hoped they would do this. I think I'm going to have to grab one.

geezus. thats just damn nice right there. im glad it was Mike that did this,
thus nobody else gets the credit. it seems the race these days is the amp in a box
pedal. just about everything else has been done i think or at least close to it.
way to go mike. wonder what @Derek S will think of this pedal?

There's already a bunch of pedals that promise the SLO sound, like Wampler SLOdrive, ALS SLO-100 (which actually has 2 12AX7's and is more a pre-amp pedal), and the original SLO pedal from Mike Soldano that was also tube driven and quite expensive if you can find them, among others that make promises.

But yeah, I'm happy for Mike to be making money off his brain child too!

i agree but i dont know that any of them really sound as good as this one.
ive not played many of them personally though. heard a bunch of demos but you know
how demos go.

I sure do...I never end up sounding like Pete Thorn.

And actually, the original SOldano tube driven pedal was quite good, as is the ALS SLO-100. The Wampler is ok, better than some.

It sounds like a nice pedal in some vids, some not so much...but either way, it's not exactly replicating all the SLO character, I don't hear the distinct mids or punchy-ness, I mean it's cool, just not quite accurate/same. In all honesty, the affordable Jet City amp is closer in vibe to the SLO than what I've heard from the pedal demos. I don't knock Mike for jumping on the high gain pedal train however, these new gain boxes are not your pops distortion pedals lol, light years better. I remember the Bogner XTC pedals, then the Friedman BE, the 5150, etc, and now, the SLO...I don't think a high gain lover could go wrong with ANY of those!

edit: there's a few other SLO owners here, they may chime in too, I'm surely not the expert to ask lol

i havent seen many videos yet, just the above.
its hard to capture everything about a amp in a pedal but one can hope to get the
vibe of said amp i guess. at either rate that pedal sounds pretty good from what im hearing
though. im sure Mike is proud of it.

Sounds great I think! $229.00 price tag on it--wish I had that kind of $$$!

SLO Pedal - soldano.com

The SLO-100 is famous for being one of the most detailed-sounding high-gain guitar amplifiers of all time. Until now, it’s been challenging to capture the amp’s nuanced character in a pedal format. The new Super Lead Overdrive pedal changes that, with the perfect balance of gain, sustain, and...

I'd rather get the SLO Mini head but this thing is pretty cool too. I like the purple one.

I watched this earlier. This guy usually just annoys me, but this time he's actually funny.

I'm very interested in this pedal. I can't imagine it being any better than the Revv G3 I already have, but... the Revv is in use on the Marshall, so rather than sell the Carvin X100B half stack, this pedal could possibly be the ingredient that brings it back to life.

Under consideration...
