The artwork perfectly encapsulates the character of both pedals. I think I'd pick the Fathom by a hair, but I wouldn't complain if the Slo was sent by mistake 🤙
For some bizarre reason no one else has done this comparison before. Good job! I've owned a Fathom and it's great for what it does. It just wasn't for me. BTW, on the Fathom, there's a secret delay algorithm. In Hall mode, hold down the sustain, turn the knob all the way to Sonar, and it becomes a delay. Just do the opposite to change it back.
Love both of these pedals immensely. The slo is an integral part of my board now. I don't think I'd ever want to be without it. Dark mode makes my cleans sound huge. Love Walrus audio so much.
I had 46 pedals as of Feb. I pretty much sold all of them , except some basic essential Fuzz, chorus, and both of these. These are both absolutely unreal pedals.
46 pedals...that is some investment, I have probably owned 46 in my life though, just never all at once. I have 15 pedals on my board and really just came here to bitch that the buffer sucks tone....not by itself no, but as a gang with the other 5 buffers on my board....they say buffers are like beers, 2 or 3 can might help add a little sparkle or smoothness...more than that and things start to get sloppy.
Immediately loved this video before I even skipped the ads. Two of my favorite pedals that I don’t own yet, but want to get both... still trying to decide which to get first...
pedal partners Indeed they do. I’ve already got more EQD pedals than is reasonable, and my Walrus wish list looks like I’ll soon have an unreasonable number of their effects too!
The fact that this is a review blows me away. Incredible video. New genre discovered and I'm pretty sure I cant go wrong with either. I was just trying to figure out Yvette Young from Covet's sound. Pretty sure she uses Fathom. SUBBED.
Yvette Young has a video with Premier Guitar, I think, called Rig Rundown. Just search Yvette Young Rig Rundown and I’m sure you’ll find it. She talks through each of her pedals. It’s really great!! Also you can google what pedals she uses and there’s some sites literally dedicated to showing you the gear that a certain guitarist uses.
Still got them both? What are your thoughts after having them for a few months? I currently have the Fathom but I'm considering also picking up the Slö.
@@KipCount i like the SLO much better than the Fathom. The sustain button works as it should on the SLO but the Fathom doesn't seem like it works at all. It so "hit and miss" with these so-calked "boutique" manufacturers.
@@bluesman000 I know what you mean about the Fathom sustain hold function. It seems to not vary all that much from wherever you have things set. It definitely sustains the tail more but it's subtle for sure. Do you find the Slö can pull off more subtle Room/Hall in Dream mode with mod off, and level and sustain dialed back? Just trying to sort out my reverb section right now, and I'm bouncing a few options around. If the Slö can pull off some subtle settings, it'll be more useful to me. Thanks!
This video made me wanna get the fathom :), I'll buy it as soon as posible. I think it's more versatile. Loved the sonar and lo-fi modes, as well as the art on your videos, really really unique and inspiring
fair enough! i'm in love with walrus audio, each of their pedals has that special something that i can't quite put into words. the perfect pairing of sounds & aesthetic.
Great presentation ! I should be all over the slo being an astronomer type but the fathom seems instantly appealing I wash my hair every day maybe that's got something to do with it.
Brilliant video, man! A lot of respect gained for the Fathom, and how these two work together. Still, the Slo looks like a complete no-brainer. Love the textural sounds achieved on here.
Wow. I need to decide between these two. Both have superb qualities. I'm inclined to go with SLO. The latching pad just gives me chills. Thank you for a beautiful demonstration of these outstanding reverb pedals.
wow these videos are also. At some point i kinda just stare at the background and listen to these beautiful tones you create. I think the slo has more of a mystical sound, while the fathom sounds very modern. To me the slo has more personality than the Fathom. Both choices that sound great though
Picked up the Tex Mex Effects Aether reverb at the Alamo show this past weekend - my god. Best reverb I've played/owned in 20 years of pedaling. So rich/amp like.
I've come back to this video like 10 times now trying to decide on different reverbs and have been set on the SLÖ, but there are so many choices. This video makes me want to have both, if only my wallet afforded that right now ahah.
I love the sound of both and Walrus in general, but I was undecided on which of these to pair with the Arp-87. Your video helped me decide on the Fathom. Mahalo. 👍
This video is great! After using my slo consistently I've been thinking of another reverb pedal to give me something different. The fathom really has a lot of exploring features. Def need both. Thank you
Saw this video a few months ago and went with the fathom. it's my favorite pedal on my board and it's almost always on. Crap, now realized I should have used your affiliate link to purchase. Sorry. But thanks for the review. It's making my play things I have never played before.
OK, so I want to do some experimentation in creating ambient guitar soundscapes. But I'm an older dude who is more of a traditional classic rock/heavy rock player. I was drawn to the Slo, but now I'm not sure if the Fathom is the one. Excellent demo, very inspiring and informative!
I want to use one of them with my guitar and synthesizer, especially for ambient/drone. Which one would you recommend over the other? What are the key differences?
@@lk-gt9xv the slö is better for ambient drone in my opinion due to the momentary latch function in dream mode, that being said the fathom also has a hold switch great for drones
@heavybending I have listened to many reverb pedal demos and kept coming back to these two Walrus pedals, Slo & Fathom. I finally realized that the Fathom made more sense because it can do some sounds similar to the Slo, but it can also provide the traditional Room, Hall & Plate sounds. So, the Slo is more of a non-traditional reverb, and the Fathom is more of a hybrid.
Thank you so much, I was searching for that kind a comparison 🤗🤗 I love walrus for this kind of pedals. Until now I was playing on multieffet but recently I decided to switch on pedal board system. I make some kind of dark wave music (old shool 😂) with many modulations effects. As an example of guitar sound I would like to do is Cocteau Twins and that's why your video was so nice for my need. So I thank you very much 👍👍 I think I will buy the Fathom as I prefer its kind of sound (despites the Slö sound is so good as well 😂), maybe both? 😅 Also again: a big thank you 🤗👍👍
These are both fabulous reverbs, and I have them both. I usually use the Slo over the Fathom, to be honest, but the Fathom is a much nicer "traditional reverb". If you like that, you should definitely also check out the Haunted Labs "Dark Aura" modulated reverb. And, since we're shoegazing; you must look into both the Pickletech "Reason" reverb and the Occvlt "Wraith" reverb, both of which are feedback/self-oscillating reverbs.
Of these two I think the slo is the better pick. But even when I had the slow I couldn’t find much practical use for it outside of ambient weird stuff. I Swapped it out for a Strymon Big Sky. Couldn’t be happier. Has all the ambient stuff plus allot of nice reverb sounds to add a bit of color to your choice of playing whether it be rock, metal, blues etc..
ah that's a shame. for me the walrus stuff is on another level, everything they do is perfect in my eyes! i've also really been enjoying the fender reflecting pool for reverbs :)
Slö into fathom or fathom into slö? Any thoughts? :) would you rather use fathom as early chain and slö as end of chain reverb or the other way around?
I just purchased both, right now I’m using the Slo at the beginning of my chain because I like the latching function option early on, the Fathom at the end in Hall is my best all around setting.
I don't think you've made a video similar but I would love to eventually see a video comparing the Slö to the Polara. I have a Polara on my board and would love to see what you could do with it and compare it to a slightly more expensive pedal such as the Slö!
I also know this is not important but he's made comparisons with the slö and EQD pedals so the fact the polara is digitech shouldn't make too much of a difference. I totally see where you are coming from with the fact that the digitech can be used for more standard reverb sounds while the Slö is more "out there". Just thought it was a fun suggestion
hey dude! i'd love to. still need to get my hands on the polara, i have the rv-7 which is a slightly older digitech reverb & i love it. they make great stuff!
@@pedalpartners question: I’m leaning towards the SLO for that vibrato sound. However, I have the holier grail with a wet out. Do you think putting a vibrato after a reverb like that would give you a similar good sound? I’d be using the line 6 MM4 with the expression pedal.
@@pedalpartners I almost did but I didn't because it is a lot of cash and both pedals are pretty much the same. Now I'm hunting for a special chorus, any suggestions?
I’m curious about your thoughts on using one of these with an acoustic guitar with pickups, and which one makes the most sense if you had to choose only one (I know, blasphemy…). But still, if you could fit only one on your board, which would you recommend for this kind of setup? Guitar > BodyRez > Corona Chorus > Flashback Delay >Slo or Fathom is the likely chain (minimalist board + tuner).
hmmm the freeze function on the slö (dream mode latching pad) might be really cool with acoustic! i feel like walrus always take what they learn from one pedal & put it into the next i.e. fathom to slö to lore :)
So i have two questions: 1. What kinds of chords/scales do you tend to use when making this stuff? 2. What are your settings like on the JC-40? Do you crank a particular setting like treble or bass?
I already own the Slo but I've put some serious thought into also buying the Fathom and then running the stereo signals out of my delay pedal into each of them so I'd have Slo on one side and Fathom on the other. Would this work? They'd run in parallel instead of one into the other.
they're definitely unique enough, there's really nothing like using them together. i'm not sure if that would work, depends on your delay, i guess you'll just have to try!
@@pedalpartners I have a Source Audio Nemesis. The plan would have been to send the outs from the Nemesis to two different reverbs, then to two amps or two channels of an interface. Figured the Fathom could fulfill the other side well.
@@kdogg7882 I have no experience with Fathom in a stereo blend situation, but I do have the Boss RE-20 Space Echo (delay) going into the Fathom, the results are magical and long sustaining.
I just ran across this video and the Slo vs Afterneath and I honestly didn't like the Slo until I watched these videos. Exactly what I was trying to find. Someone who uses their pedals for cool sounding stuff and not generic blah playing (I'm not a 50 year old cover band dude) so I can't stand those videos. Anyways, Do you have an Old Blood Noise Dark Star, Caroline Meteore or an Earthquaker Transmisser to compare the Slo with? Your video's are awesome and those are the pedals I'm torn between lol. I'm going for a weird O'brother/glassjaw but heavier sound but haven't found what I'm looking for. The KMA Cirrus is also insane if you haven't checked it out, but out of my price range if you can find one. Awesome videos duder!!!!
Thanks a lot for the review ! I really love the slö, but I haven't had the chance to test one. When using the freeze, does the audio signal after the freeze is on, feeds in the freezed audio ?
hi Luca, thank you for teaching me about all the cool gear, now I'm on a quest to sound a bit like the Cocteaus, I'm wondering what do you think of the Slotva? thank you have a nice day!
@Pedal Partners -- are you running a specific segment/sample through, like, a loop station here, and then simply manipulating that segment/sample with each/both pedals? Was mainly curious if these pedals are recycling a particular segment/sample, or if you're using an additional pedal (like a Boss RC-2, f.ex.) for that. Apologies for the novice question, and thank you for all you do.
no worries at all, good question! most the time nowadays we do live takes, i find when i'm just focusing on demoing a pedal that using a looper (like i have here) helps me focus on displaying each parameter to the fullest extent :)
Damn!!! I was torn between the Neunaber Immers and The Walrus Slö, now I want the Fathom as well. I don't know what to buy on those 3 🤣. Great Video by the way.
I just bought the Slo today. Tested in shop and even with a distortion combined to it. Sounds damn good. I now have a question. By considering my main influences alternate between Blues-rock/Hard rock up to metal. Will I have to set endlessly the three preset modes or is it possible to fix it pretty fast? By the way, your video is awesome and you made a great demo of those two reverbs. I fell in love with Walrus straight up. Congratulations and greetings from Belgium ;)
Thinking about getting the fathom or the ehx cathedral, any thoughts? I love that the cathedral has presets, and I like the tone, but the same can be said for the Fathom; I love water and the fact that its an underwater reverb. And that it has modulation that can make it sound more true to a real reverbs tone and artifacts. Its also compact which is nice. I'm Primarily a rock, pop, lofi, punk and grunge person, but also into ambient and shoegazey stuff - I'm all over the board. If anyone has tried both let me know your thoughts. Also thanks for the video pedal partners, I love the vibes !
i have the ehx holy grail max & like the look of the cathedral too. whilst they do sound great, the walrus audio sounds is unmatched in terms of pure beauty & aesthetic. it's such a nice sound & the modulation really makes everything so dreamy. i would definitely go for the walrus, especially in regards to the ambient & shoegaze side of things. glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!
Pedal partners thanks for replying. You're very right about the walrus pedals doing something very unique. I'll probably end up getting one, but I'm starting to consider the Slo too 😅
@@pedalpartners ended up getting the slo because I already have a basic reverb spring in my amp and a plate/echo in my canyon. I realized I wanted more of a secret weapon than just an average reverb. Thanks again for the video, it definitely helped me a bunch in choosing (something that I often have had trouble with 😂)
With mono pedals, how do you achieve such a sweet stereo sound? Are you Duplicating the audio track and modifying something to create that difference? Just curious on your thought process for guitar. Thanks so much for this amazing content. Very soothing!

Q: Which reverb does your pedalboard need?
A: Yes.
correct
ALL THE REVERB!
yes
This wasn't very helpful, now I want both haha, great video!

that truly warms my heart, thank you. do you mind if i ask which part?
pedal partners legend has it, he’s still crying.
@@pedalpartners Maybe it was 7:47 part, or at least that's what almost bring me to tears hahah, sounds so oniric and haunting
good analogy of slo is for space and fathom is for deep sea! That hits the nail on the head!
For some bizarre reason no
one else has done this comparison before. Good job!
I've owned a Fathom and it's great for what it does. It just wasn't for me.

@@pedalpartners question: I’m leaning towards the SLO for that vibrato sound. However, I have the holier grail with a wet out. Do you think putting a vibrato after a reverb like that would give you a similar good sound? I’d be using the line 6 MM4 with the expression pedal.
Thanks for this great video. I have the Fathom and probably will by Slö
thanks so much for watching Willem, go get it!
@@pedalpartners I almost did but I didn't because it is a lot of cash and both pedals are pretty much the same. Now I'm hunting for a special chorus, any suggestions?
Cool great so I need both thanks
yeah sorry about that unfortunately you do mate!
I’m curious about your thoughts on using one of these with an acoustic guitar with pickups, and which one makes the most sense if you had to choose only one (I know, blasphemy…).
But still, if you could fit only one on your board, which would you recommend for this kind of setup? Guitar > BodyRez > Corona Chorus > Flashback Delay >Slo or Fathom is the likely chain (minimalist board + tuner).
hmmm the freeze function on the slö (dream mode latching pad) might be really cool with acoustic! i feel like walrus always take what they learn from one pedal & put it into the next i.e. fathom to slö to lore :)
Love my fathom but it's rather noisy. Did you feel either of these were noisy?
Holy shit. Amazing video.
Both, I own both and you should too!
that is the correct answer
So i have two questions:
1. What kinds of chords/scales do you tend to use when making this stuff?
2. What are your settings like on the JC-40? Do you crank a particular setting like treble or bass?
maj7 and sus chords are popular.
I already own the Slo but I've put some serious thought into also buying the Fathom and then running the stereo signals out of my delay pedal into each of them so I'd have Slo on one side and Fathom on the other. Would this work? They'd run in parallel instead of one into the other.
they're definitely unique enough, there's really nothing like using them together. i'm not sure if that would work, depends on your delay, i guess you'll just have to try!
@@pedalpartners I have a Source Audio Nemesis. The plan would have been to send the outs from the Nemesis to two different reverbs, then to two amps or two channels of an interface. Figured the Fathom could fulfill the other side well.
@@kdogg7882 I have no experience with Fathom in a stereo blend situation, but I do have the Boss RE-20 Space Echo (delay) going into the Fathom, the results are magical and long sustaining.
@@kdogg7882 i mean give it a go, can imagine it'd be incredibly dreamy
You made it happen now it’s real
it's a thing
I just ran across this video and the Slo vs Afterneath and I honestly didn't like the Slo until I watched these videos. Exactly what I was trying to find. Someone who uses their pedals for cool sounding stuff and not generic blah playing (I'm not a 50 year old cover band dude) so I can't stand those videos.
Anyways,
Do you have an Old Blood Noise Dark Star, Caroline Meteore or an Earthquaker Transmisser to compare the Slo with? Your video's are awesome and those are the pedals I'm torn between lol. I'm going for a weird O'brother/glassjaw but heavier sound but haven't found what I'm looking for. The KMA Cirrus is also insane if you haven't checked it out, but out of my price range if you can find one. Awesome videos duder!!!!
Can you compare the Jupiter V2 fuzz to the Kangra filter fuzz next?
Thanks a lot for the review !
I really love the slö, but I haven't had the chance to test one. When using the freeze, does the audio signal after the freeze is on, feeds in the freezed audio ?
Fuck now I want both. I have never been disappointed with the fathom but I feel now I should've gotten the slo first.
hi Luca, thank you for teaching me about all the cool gear, now I'm on a quest to sound a bit like the Cocteaus, I'm wondering what do you think of the Slotva? thank you have a nice day!
hey there! thanks for watching :) the slötva is the same as slö but with presets, depends on your needs whether slö or slötva is best for you!
Hey 😊,
Did you have a looper pedal in the background to keep the sound in motion?
@Pedal Partners -- are you running a specific segment/sample through, like, a loop station here, and then simply manipulating that segment/sample with each/both pedals? Was mainly curious if these pedals are recycling a particular segment/sample, or if you're using an additional pedal (like a Boss RC-2, f.ex.) for that. Apologies for the novice question, and thank you for all you do.
no worries at all, good question! most the time nowadays we do live takes, i find when i'm just focusing on demoing a pedal that using a looper (like i have here) helps me focus on displaying each parameter to the fullest extent :)
I was prepared to buy the Slo outright, until I heard the underwater mode in the Fathom. Now I want both. Awesome demo!
the modulation on the fathom is so nice
The question initially for me was, which pedal to buy
But now I can't decide weather I want to travel to the Moon or go deep sea diving 🤔
i like exploring both tbh, the fathom is a sturdy submersible, whilst the slö always takes me to outer space 🌊✨
@@pedalpartners I bought the SLÖ, it is maybe the best pedal I've bought. No regrets here! Takes me beyond the moon even 🙌
Damn!!! I was torn between the Neunaber Immers and The Walrus Slö, now I want the Fathom as well. I don't know what to buy on those 3 🤣. Great Video by the way.
more reverb = more better
@@pedalpartners Yep. But no more as well Hahaha!
Will these sound good on a deluxe reverb cause there’s no effects loop?
any views on which would be better for bass?
I just bought the Slo today. Tested in shop and even with a distortion combined to it. Sounds damn good. I now have a question.
By considering my main influences alternate between Blues-rock/Hard rock up to metal. Will I have to set endlessly the three preset modes or is it possible to fix it pretty fast?
By the way, your video is awesome and you made a great demo of those two reverbs. I fell in love with Walrus straight up.
Congratulations and greetings from Belgium ;)
hey there! thanks for watching, the slö is awesome
Thinking about getting the fathom or the ehx cathedral, any thoughts? I love that the cathedral has presets, and I like the tone, but the same can be said for the Fathom; I love water and the fact that its an underwater reverb. And that it has modulation that can make it sound more true to a real reverbs tone and artifacts. Its also compact which is nice. I'm Primarily a rock, pop, lofi, punk and grunge person, but also into ambient and shoegazey stuff - I'm all over the board. If anyone has tried both let me know your thoughts. Also thanks for the video pedal partners, I love the vibes !
i have the ehx holy grail max & like the look of the cathedral too. whilst they do sound great, the walrus audio sounds is unmatched in terms of pure beauty & aesthetic. it's such a nice sound & the modulation really makes everything so dreamy. i would definitely go for the walrus, especially in regards to the ambient & shoegaze side of things. glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!
Pedal partners thanks for replying. You're very right about the walrus pedals doing something very unique. I'll probably end up getting one, but I'm starting to consider the Slo too 😅
@@pedalpartners ended up getting the slo because I already have a basic reverb spring in my amp and a plate/echo in my canyon. I realized I wanted more of a secret weapon than just an average reverb. Thanks again for the video, it definitely helped me a bunch in choosing (something that I often have had trouble with 😂)
How would you compare to the CBA Dark World?
This video made me buy both
correct choice.
You know, the first part you played with both pedal together kind of reminds me of Minecraft ambiance. Idk why but it has that feeling of wonder
that's a song i'll be releasing through dreamgazerreverberator.bandcamp.com

thanks! :)
With mono pedals, how do you achieve such a sweet stereo sound? Are you Duplicating the audio track and modifying something to create that difference? Just curious on your thought process for guitar. Thanks so much for this amazing content. Very soothing!
Roland JC-40 👌
How they are soounding in stereo?
LOvE your channel! Crying over things you jam, is there a chance to listen to full things?
thank you! i release music through dreamgazerreverberator.bandcamp.com. working on new stuff this year + starting a shoegaze project too! :)
So dreamy
Well, dang it, now I'm gonna have to get both! 🤣
that's the correct answer! ;)
Would one work better with dirt than the other?
lofi into dream sounds similar to the soft focus of an FX500.
that's a nice comparison
These are cool. Why aren't they stereo, though?
Not very helpful. I just spent over $400 on both of them instead of $200 for one haha. Thanks though. Having a blast with these pedals 👍
haha whoops sorry!
Love everything have a filter nob on it...
