I recorded a quick clip for a buddy that wanted to hear my SLO doing it's thing. I figured what the hell, might as well post it here too for fans of the SLO. it's just a couple of quick riffs and rough. Shitty camera mic, rough playing, no editing, etc. Just one quick, rough take. I don't know why my playing instantly gets 10 times worse as soon as I hit record, not that I play that great anyway. lol. :confused:

That sounds very good, NICE! Effects used?

Thank you. The effects are a TINY little amount of ambient reverb from the lexicon MX400 mixed really, really low (probably not even noticeable) stereo ducked and EQed delay from the TC D-Two, and micropitch from my Eventide. Strict hard left/right panning on the effects and dry was on both sides. All of it was mixed together in my Rane mixer before hitting the stereo power amp.
 
Sounds great. I'm so happy with my new SLO. I bought the dual od one from a member here and it's amazing. I gigged with it at volume 3.5 and it was Heavenly. Amazing tone out of these amps. What is your rig if you don't mind breaking it down, it sounds great. Defined and crisp

Thanks! Yes, the SLO is an amazing amp. It just has this "thing" that it does that nothing else I have ever heard quite does. To me the SLO truly has it's own voice.

This rig is my slaved/stereo re-amp rig. What I am running is:

Guitar straight into amp

Amp into Suhr Reactive Load

Reactive Load into Rane SM26 running as a splitter to split the signal into 6 outputs.
The 6 outputs go to various processors (Lexicon MX400, Eventide Pitchfactor, Eventide Eclipse, TC D-Two, old Eventide H910) One output from the splitter is also kept dry with no processing.

The outputs of all the processors and the single dry output then run into a Rane SM82 8 channel stereo mixer and are mixed together in parallel. So, each processor and the dry signal are all kept separate in the mix and in parallel. Nothing is mixed in series. Everything can be adjusted for volume level in the mix and left/right panning in the stereo field by the SM82.

The left and right outputs from the SM82 mixer go to the left and right channels of the Matrix GT1000FX power amp. The two power amp outputs each go to a 2X12 closed back Avatar contemporary cabinet. Both cabs are loaded with Scumback M75-PVC 65 watt 16 Ohm speakers.

That is it I think.
 
Wow. That is quite a setup. Great tone, thanks for sharing. It really sounds great

You're very welcome, glad to do it. I'm glad you liked it. It is good to get others opinions sometimes, both positive and negative. I tinker with this crap all the time and sometimes you lose your objectivity. I am building/reworking an 1959SLP as sort of a modded '69 plexi set up and have tinkered with it endlessly. Sometimes I get to the point I lose all objectivity and can't tell the difference of a change I have made or whether I like it or not. lol.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to check it out and comment on it. The one part I forgot to mention was the guitar. It is a Warmoth build I did and sprayed with transparent orange nitro. It is a strat style single humbucker maple body with maple birds eye neck and floyd rose bridge. Basically its a maple on maple with some maple syrup and maple sprinkled on top. lol. The pickup is a hot PAF type of thing, a bare knuckles VHII.
 
No matter what the gear, as soon as I hear chorus on distortion it just reminds me of a cheap multi-fx pedal on "Stadium rock" preset.

Let's hear it raw, son!

I can actually agree with that. I'm not big on any chorus I have ever tried either. It's a good thing I didn't use any chorus.
 
I bet the sound in the room is Awesome! Pretty well thought out rig man.. Rock on!
 
Thanks guys. It does sound better in the room than through the camera mic. By the time you have it loud enough to get the speakers working a little the mic is overpowered and starts distorting.
 
What was the riff from 0:00 - 0:10 ? I can usually get them all but I'm stumped , is it Vandenberg ?

No actually that was just me, at least as far as I know it was. I just started playing it for a few seconds then I thought well, I doubt anyone wants to hear my crap so I played more recognizable stuff. lol.
