I'd say the SLO is to the Marshall what the Dumble OS is to Fenders, just the ultimate, the Marshall tone perfected with amazing headroom and build quality. But when I found out the price I almost cried. I was thirteen and couldn't even afford the Peavey solid state my dad got me for my birthday. I've tried Diezels and they are amazing. Also love Bogners and VHT/Fryette Pitbulls, etc. I owned a Boogie 50 cal but that was the only Boogie I could stand. They are just not my cup of tea.

Not just pedals, but pickups, strings, body, amp, light touch, hard playing... so much that can be done to make a certain sound. And it's so tactile! it's going to take me years to master. Thanks for the video!

    • @hawedehre
      @hawedehre 4 роки тому +1

      yes exactly. From 🎹 to 🎸 is tough. If you buy a good keyboards and speakers or headphones your „sound“ will be good from day one. regardless how good you play. guitar drives me nuts. how to fret that it is not snarly, where to pick. how to pick with which plektrum. one amp sounds good with pedals x and pickup y, the other not. then the whole impedance mess from pickup, pots, cable to the cab. it is a true nightmare. with keys you have line out and it works with your mixer, interface and whatever. the electric guitar world is an absolute mess, where thousands of people must have gone mad to accomplish a certain tone and wasted thousands on gear until you find a acceptable setup. lucky who has a tolerant guitar store where you can try before buy.

    • @7stringslinger74
      @7stringslinger74 4 роки тому +1

      Not only that, and not to diminish the skill it takes to play the piano well, but when playing piano, you're only playing linearly, and a chord in a certain position can only be played in that position. On a guitar, you're playing across and up and down, with the same note in multiple places. And you can finger the exact same chord in multiple positions, each with a different timbre. Gives you a lot more options, but can be a lot more confusing!

    While recording in a professional studio for the first time, this was the amp our producer chose for us. At the time, I had only ever played through a Fender Frontman and a Line 6 Spider II (don’t judge me)
    Needless to say, this amp blew me away, and honestly is a tone that I’ve been chasing ever since.

    Those Shuguang "chinese" 12ax7b's are actually great preamp tubes. They aren't too bass heavy or bright and keep everything nice and tight. Marshall ships their DSL100HR's with a low noise jj ecc83 in v1 (the only JJ tube I've ever really liked was the v1 stock low noise selected JJ ecc83 in my DSL100HR) and then 3 shuguang 12ax7b's for (v2 v3 v4). I love EHX EL34 power tubes and that's all I'll use for Marshalls (massive improvement over the mushy flubby low end you get with JJ EL34'S, I've tried countless JJ el34s and they all negatively affected the amps I put them in. But when I got my new DSL I tried every preamp tube you could imagine sovteks, tung sol, mullard 12ax7 and cv4004's, EHX etc. But the stock low noise JJ ECC83 with the 3 shuguang 12ax7b's always sounded best. Now I have one if my best Mullard CV4004's in v2 but that's just for a bit fuller tone not so much better just different. Anyways I just wanted to point out that there's a reason so many amp manufacturers are using 12ax7b's and it's not just cause they are cheap. Anyways if anyone reading this is about to roll tubes I suggest picking up a few 12ax7b's they really are worth considering for their sound quality. The fact that they are likely some of the cheapest preamp tubes on the market is just a bonus. They are high gain and in my amps they always sound very balanced. The problem with some tubes is they are either too bright (tung sol) or too warm (mullard 12ax7's /cv4004) and sometimes that's just what your amp needs. But I've found that most of the time a balanced tube like the 12ax7b is just the ticket.

    Kept peaking around the video looking for Trevor Rabin with those lead tones. Fluid! Sublime!
