My SLO lead channel build

[Fusionbear]

I finally achieved what I believe to be the "holy grail" cloning of the SLO lead channel. I built this for myself and not to sell or build for others. I've built quite a few different SLO builds in the past, but they didn't quite cut it in one way or another. This one has done it. I love the harmonic richness and aggressiveness of this one.

 

[Fret-Shredder]

Nice job. Sounds great. As you mentioned. Very harmonically rich. Also articulate and open sounding.

Love that little bit of chirp on the front end of the pick attack on the single notes. Really chunky rhythm tones too. You also gotta appreciate what volume brings to the resonance of the speaker cab. Sounds great.

Nice work making your own amp. Sounds great.

So a SLO...

 

[Racerxrated]

THAT sounds fantastic. You nailed it sir!

Great looking build too.

 

[CrazyNutz]

Sounds fantastic. I've built several SLO Clones.

The best sounding one is configured much like your's. 16uf on the prefilters, and no tube loop.

 

[lespaul6]

Sounds like a SLO to me... good job.

I wonder if the B.A.D. sounds this G.O.O.D.

Sounds better than most of the actual SLO clips I’ve heard recently.
