The only SLO type pedal is the Soldano GTO pedal. I had one for a few years. It weighed as much as a 2x12 and was noisy as fuck. It runs tubes in it & is powered directly into a wall AC socket. Wouldn't recommend it AT ALL.

There is no pedal that sounds like a SLO and if you'd played the GTO you'd know exactly what I'm talking about.

Quicker and cheaper in the long run to buy a SLO clone amp head.

I thought I remembered Wampler did something so I searched YT and here's what I got.

So are we digging the Wampler pedal? I didn't think it sounded like an SLO but maybe in the room it's close.... :?

If you want the SLO sound, buy the SLO 100. If you want the SLO sound in a pedal buy the SLO 30 :lol: :lol: :lol: A small amp is about as big now a days as a Big Box pedal...lol.

There really is no pedal I have found that does it. I had the GTO and regret selling it for novelty purposes but it was closer than anything pedal wise that I tried. YMMV

Yea …kinda what I’m thinking. Nothing really exists except the real thing.

There was Soldano 30 on FB market place for 2k. It’s gone now..couldn’t really afford it anyway.

I may have the closest I can get w/o buying an amp; Headrush with SLO 100 sims on board. Been running it through a small power amp into a 212…it’s what made me start this looking around and ask this question. I’d love to be able to throw a pedal into my tube amp clean channel And get as close as I can.
