Best Recorded SLO-100 tones

[Mr. Willy]

Thread bump . I was reading an old issue of Guitar World from January `91 today and Warren said he used a Marshall 100 watt Plexi on Detonator . No mention of the SLO

I hear you, but I’m not sure Warren is a reliable narrator when it comes to the exact gear he used to record. I’m remembering an interview with Beau Hill discussing the guitar tones between the first album and the second. How Warren thought he had to go buy up a bunch of other Marshalls and find the best one when Beau was just having him plug into the same SIR Marshall they used on the first one to record the second one.

I’ve seen that clip and I would question some of those producers memories also

Yep. And although that's a nice little story Beau tells there (and who knows... maybe it was true for a session or two), does he really expect people to believe that during all the hours and days DeMartini spent recording guitar tracks for Invasion, that he had no idea what amp he was using?

Re: Ratt's Detonator stuff posted above... that record was almost 100 percent Marshall)

This track from the self titled 1999 record is straight up SLO though:

Great album and tone here. If that’s an SLO, I want one…

That's 1000% SLO w/Green Backs. You pair those two and it will be DEAD nuts.

Did they copy the Lux Æterna single art for that?

That Crüe album with Corabi is actually the only Crüe album I like.
I know I’m probably the minority, but in my opinion, it smokes
Songs and guitar tone are great.

A great album

It smokes the sky

Mick Mars rig , I’m guessing late 90s or mid 2000’s

My impressions of this circuit in my limited experience is that it's super saturated and compressed.
My #1 example would be the FUCK Album..

It doesn't have to be. The Normal channel is anything but. IMHO.

Some SLO in there.

 

[SpiderWars]

Lots of Warren posted already but I like this one. I think he used his Marshall instead of the SLO with the ABB but that may have varied. I think he always uses his Diaz CD100, he'll probably be buried with that.

I remember beau hill talking about bringing another guitar player in to play warrens parts in the behind the music

 

[anomaly]

I thought KSE used 5150's?? either way it's a really dull tone.

I tend to agree with raceU4her on this one.

They do, the SLO has made it on to all of like 2 tracks out of 67 KSE records

So they do use 5150's, but they use SLO-100's on the records?? Is that what you're saying?

It must be a dull tone because of those Nolly 2001 - 2003 Vintage 30's. Who made him the expert on speakers anyways? He doesn't know shit about tone.

I’m saying out of 67282 KSE songs, a grand Total of 1-2 had the SLO on it.

Oh OK. So it wasn't their fav amp to use then. I'm guessing they mostly use 5150's hey?

Whatever Warren is using on the Reach For The Sky album works for me . Not my favorite Ratt album but that’s definitely my favorite tone from him especially on No Surprise

The intro to No Surprise is SUCH a fantastic tone whatever it is. Reach... is definitely an underrated Ratt album.
