SLOstortion Distortion by Wampler Pedals

http://www.wamplerpedals.com/distortions/SLOstortion.html

Somewhere between the classic distortion tones and the ultra-modern high gain sound, there was an American amplifier that redefined gain. These amplifiers have been heard on some of the best guitar-god albums, and Brian couldn't resist the challenge of capturing that authentic inspired tone in a pedal. The amp that was the end of classic distortion and the start of the modern era: a very worthy task for the man who has proved his hand time and again at making famous sounds in reach, under foot.

The SLOstortion has been pain-stakingly designed with a core voicing that emulates the best tones of that famous amp and a powerful, sophisticated, easy to use three-band EQ to make sure you can have "The Tone" through YOUR setup. The SLOstortion's dirt is switchable between two separate gain pathways to capture as precisely as possible the nuances and flavor of both the normal and high gain modes of the superb amp. The normal mode will go from a nearly clean to a great crunch, and the high gain mode will punish your speakers in the best way possible!

As if that weren't enough, Brian has added a great sounding clean boost to the pedal so you can stand out during solos. It's a special take on an op-amp boost circuit Brian's worked on for some time, and even at unity output, it will add a little something extra to the sound - so you'll stand out for your solo whether you want to blast loud or just give it that little extra kick. To complete the package, the SLOstortion's main gain doesn't even have to be on for the boost to work. It's a true two-in-one pedal, offering great value for Wampler Pedals users, our way of showing our appreciation for the faith you place in our products!

We think you're going to love this one. Brian's worked on it as hard as he's ever worked on anything before, and the results are apparent: an authentic American roar, with all the gain you need to take you wherever you want to go, and features that won't let you down. Rock on, powered by the Wampler Pedals SLOstortion!

Amazing pedal, imagine how it would sound with a real guitar. Nice playing though

[wampcat]

@mtaygoldin Just checking... Body, neck, strings, pick ups, tuners, electrics. Yup, it's a real guitar. I'll check to see if it works with Guitar Hero though... Nope, it doesn't. Must be real then ;)

[MrMatthewLeo]

Are you running through that cab that the pedal is sitting on?

[wampcat]

@MrMatthewLeo - No- that cab is there to set the pedal on. The sound on this video is just a stock blackface twin reissue. stock speakers.

[spawnofwheezedog]

In My Dreams!!! Great playing, and the pedal sounds fantastic. Leave some "awesome" for the rest of us, please?

@mtaygoldin and the prize of the most stupid comment goes to...

[ThePyroslicer]

@wampcat i got a question , is that an skin or is the real model? O: becoz i want it.

[stratcatavarious]

Awesome

I'd love to hear you do the same with a single coiled guitar

[odgeUK]

What's the riff at 03:33?

I always love playing through any Wampler pedal. It's fun to just sit and jam and tweak. I usually end up losing track of time and playing for way longer than I initially intended to. It's like playing a video game or something. You just get lost in the sound and have a lot more fun playing or practicing than usual. There is a reason that big names like Brad Paisley, Brent Mason and others have Wampler signature pedals. I love making these vids and hope to do more. Steve T.

[AndyBaylor]

WOW. I want one.

[superflea72]

great sound mate. do you know if these play nice with single coils? I'm looking seriously into one of these for heavier sounds, and the boost function is a brilliant bonus imo.

cheers.
