For those who asked why the SLO, I looked at a lot of playthroughs on the interwebs and man, people got some sick tones out of it. I play hard rock and heavy metal, and the tones people got were just incredible, so I had to get one, despite the 4,000 dollar drop. I might as well burn the old 355, except it's metal... (see what I did there).
    hard rock and heavy metal = SLO's homeland. GODSPEED SIR.
    Oh, and you might as well sell the 355 to GC or something. Buy a pedal with it.

      only use a pedal live if its absolutely crucial and you simply cannot perform without it.
      less is more in a live situation.

        Hi guys, I'm very conflicted on whether to use pedals or not. I'm pretty knew to using amps and stuff, I used to just run a Digitech RP 355. I finally upgraded and decided to go with Soldano SLO 100. The sound is great, but would running a pedal board with distortion pedals, delay, reverb, compressors, etc open me up to better sound opprotunites or would it take out the awesome natural sound of the amp?
        I doubt it would take away from the natural sound of the amp. Just try the pedals and if you like the sound, buy 'em.

          I have traditionally always used two pedals. Somewhere in the early 2000s I decided to try things without any pedals.

          The result was that my bicycle became impossible to ride. Consequently i went back to using two pedals.

            Hard rock / Metal? I'm thinking that just turning it on should have been 'nuff said' !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Hell, everything on 5 rocks. From there it can ONLY get better!!!!!!


            And as many I have mentioned - learn to play the AMP. Way to many people are buying this pedal or that pedal, swapping pups and magnets, and they can't figure out what the gain knob really does or where to set the mid knob or when.

            Example: Guy playing a Diezel amp with a Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion pedal says "I need a hotter pup"

                As someone who's owned a few Soldanos over the years, I'll tell you that the loops suck. Don't even bother putting stomp boxes in the loop. Whenever I did that, I got major tone suck. I had better luck with rack FX but eventually moved on to other amps.
