A José and a SLO Walk Into a Bar

[BeZo]

The amp is going to be a complete joke. I'll save the punchline for when it's finished. If you know, don't spoil it!

I'm trying to decide on what guts it should have. After all, it's gotta rip, right? For a 2 channel circuit with dedicated clean and a high gain channels, which would be better? The José Marshall circuit or the Soldano SLO 100 circuit?

Can't go wrong with either. A blend of the 2 would be cool. A SLOsé?

One of each and forget the clean.

I use the clean channel. Usually with a phaser, but sometimes without.

It was a joke, but yeah, I get it. I don't know. For me, the heart of the SLO is the crunch channel but I don't really like the OD for anything except leads. I don't know if I'd want that with a dedicated clean. I don't know that I've ever played anything with the Jose mod.

Love the SLOse nickname. Ha. Or JOLO.

I think the clean on a SLO is pretty nice. If someone could take the characteristics of the Crunch and add more gain, it'd be sweet. The OD is too compressed after about halfway gain wise, so leads are pretty much it.
