Soldano Tone In A Stompbox?

Wampler Pedals releases the SLOstortion 26-Sep-11

Wampler has released an amp-in-a-box pedal, the SLOstortion, which is Brian Wampler's attempt at capturing an authentic SLO-100 inspired tone in a pedal.

Here's what Wampler has to say about it...

"The SLOstortion brings the awesome tone of those killer high-wattage heads and famous preamps together into one package, with a voicing that will be maintained across virtually any setup. No need to worry whether you'll have a good clean tone and a good distorted tone. Just your favorite amp and the SLOstortion to take your tone places walked by some of the best guitar-slingers from the 1980s to today.

It features a great three-band EQ to make sure you can have 'The Tone' through YOUR setup, whatever it may be. The gain is switchable between two separate modes to capture the nuances and flavor of its inspiration. The normal mode will go from a nearly clean tone to a tight, defined crunch, and the high gain mode goes all out. It's responsive, too, and to top it off, even when the tone is as heavy as it gets, the pedal doesn't squeal and hiss with noise. No sacrifices for your rig.

To top it off, the pedal features a specially tuned clean boost. It's an op-amp boost circuit Brian's worked on for some time, and even at unity output, it will add a little something extra to the sound. Stand out for your solo, or just give it that little extra kick. To complete the package, it functions independently: a true two-in-one pedal, offering great value, our way of showing our appreciation for the faith you place in our products!"

$239.97

I personally think it sounds pretty good. I was just coming here from the Wampler site just so I could ask if there have been mods done; pickups, etc, what model?.. great playing.


prsfanatic74 08-Mar-12 11:52 PM

So basically, u could use this with a clean amp and basically have three channels, clean, rhythm and lead,, killer,,, I like the sound of the plextortion just a little better but this is the one I want,, great job, great demo!


TheRocketSilo 23-Feb-12 09:36 PM

always cool usable pedals from wampler.. Brian has a great ear, and I think that's what makes his pedals stand out.he really does tune them in very well.. if you can't get a great tone from his box/s and a bit of tweaking .. something is wrong

ThePyroslicer 30-Jan-12 03:42 PM

i got a question , is that an skin or is the real model? O: becoz i want it.


stratcatavarious 12-Jan-12 04:35 AM

Awesome I'd love to hear you do the same with a single coiled guitar


odgeUK 09-Jan-12 04:13 PM

What's the riff at 03:33?


guitarified01 03-Jan-12 08:53 PM

I always love playing through any Wampler pedal. It's fun to just sit and jam and tweak. I usually end up losing track of time and playing for way longer than I initially intended to. It's like playing a video game or something. You just get lost in the sound and have a lot more fun playing or practicing than usual. There is a reason that big names like Brad Paisley, Brent Mason and others have Wampler signature pedals. I love making these vids and hope to do more. Steve T.


wampcat 14-Dec-11 10:13 AM

Just checking... Body, neck, strings, pick ups, tuners, electrics. Yup, it's a real guitar. I'll check to see if it works with Guitar Hero though... Nope, it doesn't. Must be real then ;)


mtaygoldin 11-Dec-11 11:48 PM

Amazing pedal, imagine how it would sound with a real guitar. Nice playing though


AndyBaylor 05-Dec-11 02:22 AM

WOW. I want one. 


superflea72 04-Dec-11 12:22 PM

great sound mate. do you know if these play nice with single coils? I'm looking seriously into one of these for heavier sounds, and the boost function is a brilliant bonus imo.

cheers.


Torrello13 24-Sep-11 01:47 PM

much nicer vidoe than another I saw. \m/


Torrello13 24-Sep-11 01:45 PM

was that just George Lynch too? no way. I miss that music.


Torrello13 24-Sep-11 01:44 PM

Nice Nuno rip! *****


painkiller49 21-Sep-11 02:21 AM

Incredible Pedal !! Got mine & it is outstanding !! All Wampler pedals are amazing & I'm a proud owner of all of them !!! Thanks to Wampler, my never ending search for the pefect tone is officially over. Now I can just enjoy playing guitar more than ever. Thank you Brian !!!


MrMatthewLeo 20-Sep-11 08:06 PM

Very nice, thanks for the reply. Got one coming for my '65 Deluxe Reverb. Can't wait!


wampcat 20-Sep-11 06:05 PM

- No- that cab is there to set the pedal on. The sound on this video is just a stock blackface twin reissue. stock speakers.


MrMatthewLeo 17-Sep-11 01:10 AM

Are you running through that cab that the pedal is sitting on?


wampcat 13-Sep-11 08:36 AM

The guitar is an Ibanez RG370DX, not particularly high end - but with the Duncan '59 in the bridge and the Alinco Pro in the neck, Steve makes it absolutely sing. The body is bassword, standard ibanez neck with the Edge III trem system.


MyEverConstantSmile 11-Sep-11 08:59 AM

Fantastic tone and impressive playing man.


theeholliday 05-Sep-11 11:42 AM

lol, yeah...I get the idea.  *wipes melted face off shirt*


SinNameOn 05-Sep-11 10:25 AM

the guitar sounds great, I was wondering if it's a basswood or mahogany body.


wampcat 05-Sep-11 10:08 AM

Not sure, but the pickups are Seymour Duncan, '59 in the bridge and Alinco Pro in the neck.


carvin127 04-Sep-11 10:01 AM

If it's the song during the end credits you're wondering about, it's by the band Extreme, and the song is "He Man Woman Hater"


ironzeppelin44 04-Sep-11 12:01 AM

whats that song playing right at the end?


ChickenRapist 03-Sep-11 03:56 PM

@JohnRiffler Err what's wrong with pointing out stuff to help em out? I'm not a company by any means, my budget on recording is zilch. And my videos are personal, when I'm selling my gear on a local forum.

I don't see a need for a personal attack on such an issue. I honestly have intentions on helping Brian in coming up with quality videos. If you watch some manufacturers have no good demos of their own, especially on their personal channels.


Dan6399 03-Sep-11 04:53 AM

Sweeet.


mxr2000 02-Sep-11 10:54 AM

Fantastic!!! Now there is a new pedal that can stand next to my Pinnacle to make my Mesa Mark 2c+ even more versatile.


ChickenRapist 02-Sep-11 03:47 AM

Why did the 2nd camera just focus on him? If you're using a 2 camera set-up I think you should: A) Use a stand B) Focus on the pedal so that EVERY setting can be seen C) OR. On hands of the demo player to see his playing (less advised)

I'm just babbling on the technicalities, tone is good, just a rather awkward camera setting.


SnyderRon 02-Sep-11 02:48 AM

I want one of those!


ciscometal 01-Sep-11 03:33 PM

The pedal is increidibly great !!!

But.... you have to do something with the voice, and change the camera spot the neck almost always cover the pedal and we can´t see what he´s doing


SinNameOn 01-Sep-11 12:23 PM

Which model of Ibanez is that?


spockadee 01-Sep-11 11:40 AM

sweet!


letsgetcarriedaway 01-Sep-11 11:34 AM

nice! can't wait for a PGS video!


Itammar1 01-Sep-11 11:08 AM

Amazing. Love it, gotta have it!


FreakExcess 01-Sep-11 03:07 AM

Alright Thanks! Strangely my album in Itunes was missing that song.


8bigtubes 01-Sep-11 01:53 AM

He-Man Woman Hater off of Pornografitti.


FreakExcess 01-Sep-11 12:31 AM

What's that last extreme song?


FreakExcess 01-Sep-11 12:28 AM

Spot on Nuno tone!


angrygoldfish 31-Aug-11 09:42 PM

This sounds incredibly like my old Soldano. Well done, Brian.


Teque86 31-Aug-11 07:43 PM

fucking awsome pedal... can i trade this for my super plextortion? :D


spawnofwheezedog 31-Aug-11 07:23 PM

In My Dreams!!! Great playing, and the pedal sounds fantastic. Leave some "awesome" for the rest of us, please?


knikk77 31-Aug-11 07:14 PM

mike31jmb 31-Aug-11 06:51 PM
