Yeah, i never understood the hype. Sounds great on record....in the 80s/90s whatever.
I've played 2 of them a handful of times and there just wasn't enough juice and took too much work to get it sounding good. Just not my amp kind of thing.
No…
Nothing..
I’d mod the snot out of it if I knew it was gonna be better. ?
I would probably have to hear the mod before
subjecting a prime SLO to go under the knife

They gotta be cranked and dialed at those levels to deliver the goods. The settings you would dial at lower volumes don’t work cranked. At least that was my experience
Especially the ones that have those deyoung transformers...nothing worse than having an amp sit that never gives it up. Why have an amp that isnt a killing machine. I bet a modded SLO would smoke that reissue C+
I’ve got a circuit mod I’ve always wanted to try in a SLO.
Just like with the Aldrich, there’s a glaring 90’s era voicing in the slo circuit that I feel I could fix to really turn it into a metal machine.
They do make great mod platforms. In some ways I’d prefer a donor SLO over a Marshall. Economically that’s not feasible but it would save a lot of time.
I have no need for a 100w but I really would be looking into a true 50w version of the SLO 100. Too bad he never made one. This is where someone will say he did and they would be wrong so I say it first. There was never a authentic 50w version.
