Great demoing of two awesome amps!...Ive had both of these for quite a long while and the way I look at them is this: If ya need to take only one amp out to the gig tonight,either one will cover clean,dirty,and high gain very well...Of course the Einy has a 2nd master which is really cool,but its no biggie to put an xotic rc in the loop of the SLO for boosting(some folks like this better cause ya have some further tone control)--to each thier own.....Ive used the Einy for believe it or not, a ton of modern country/rock gigs, and just recently the SLO too..Both these amps dialed back a bit have great verge of clip tones....Also keep in mind the SLO demoed didnt have any mods. Mine has the mods and it greatly enhances tone and steps up the bar..The Einy probably has the "metal" edge,but keep in mind,the SLO has been out for darn near 30 years and Mike hasnt made an updated one yet..Thats saying a lot for a SLO to even remotely keep up w/ a beast like the Einy....Great thread guys!
