This is the best comparison video I have seen so far. This pedal seems to be a winner.
Yeh definitely I thought the same
Thank you!
@@belligerentamateur Thanks for testing it for us!
im excited to check out this pedal. Never thought it could sound so good.
Hey Kyle , you are on your game . Sharp as a tac , no mic , no sound . 😀 Nice demo as always , thanks for putting out these very informative videos 👍🙏😊 and I appreciate everything you do.
They are all so close, honestly the pedal and the Synergy sound the best to my ears. The pedal seems to have a warmth or fullness the minihead lacks.
I noticed the same thing. The pedal actually sounded better than the avenger to me.
The pedal decimates all
They all sound really close. I think I actually liked the Synergy SLO module the most, which I guess isn’t too surprising since Mike Soldano himself worked with Synergy to create that module. But you can’t go wrong with any of them.
I've been trying to hold out on getting the SLO module for my Synergy stuff for a while, but this just sold me 100%. Great no nonsense riff filled comparison as usual.
I got that SLO pedal after watching this and your other video of it! Dude you aint kidding man that little thing changes everything! Massive sound and feel for a pedal! Thanks for making killer content!
12:39 I said "yeah" out loud to myself when you finished this sentence. 100% agreed.
I got a Mesa DC5 close to a year ago now and it made me instantly sell my 6505. The DC5 has such a great sound and a clean sound that is TOO good at times. A high gain amp like the DC5 has no business having such a damn good clean channel.
Dang, that's an impressive pedal. I do like that Synergy, though. I've never really looked at those, before. Are the other preamp modules you can get any good? Thanks for the comparison, Kyle. You have the ears of the most discerning guitar amplification connoisseur!
I've tried 5 of the modules so far and every one of them has been awesome
There’s a Mesa Mark 2c+ module that’s apparently super close
Have the 800 the SLO and the Savage. They are all good!! The 800 needs a boost though.
@@belligerentamateur Awesome, thanks for the input! I just realized they sell a little SYN-1 box, which would be all I'd really need, since I can just hook that up to my Fryette Power Station. Incredible! So, then WHY did I just cave and get a used OR-15?!!
@Jeff M That's cuz the real amp needs a boost.
Synergy took it there. The pedal sounded just as good as the avenger and the cute paper weight was quite a bit behind ...but its always going to depend on what the pedal is going through to power it. The pickups are 498t? I find mine super sensitive to being near speakers or mics
Yep, 498t. Gibson doesn't pot most of their pickups so they tend to be noisey if you're close tot he amp
Another great video. You really don't have to spend so long explaining that you have integrity though. I think anyone who's watched a few of your videos can see that very clearly and if they can't, well f*** 'em!
Hey Kyle that pedal is bad ass man so much gear coming out its mind blowing I just pre ordered the 6505 II from Sweetwater I'll use your affiliate link to help you out !🤘🎶😈🍻
Thanks my dude, appreciate you!
I had a Soldano Hot Rod think was the 50 watt version. Traded it for Fender Cybertwin. OOPs what a mistake. U have proven beyond any doubt that this thing does IT!! I can get that sound back. THANK U for this
I bought the soldano pedal demo from Sweetwater based off your videos, stoked to finally be able to afford a soldano 😂. Killer stuff
Pro gamer tip:
If you set the cathode switch on the Synergy SLO module to position "1" you will have a much tighter and modern sounding lowend that will take a boost incredibly well if you want a more modern sound on the red channel! :D I freakin love how it chugs!
The actual amps (Synergy and Avenger) sounded the best, i guess you get what you pay for. The mini head.. i mean, if you have nothing and need an amp on a budget, it's not such a bad deal
Sounds pretty close, I liked the pedal better personally.
Yeah the preamp would colour it to an extent, but I can’t find anywhere what the proper use of for this pedal. It isn’t in the online manual either.
Pete Thorn was quite positive it’s voiced to be ran in the preamp, you were quite certain to its best use being as a preamp.
How do we really know?
All I can go by is two short shots in the promo video of it going straight in the front input of both a Soldano and another amp. But that’s like 2 seconds worth of video and the rest is unclear what’s happening.
Guess we need Soldano to clarify.
But if it sounds good 🙃 and it did in both your video and Pete’s (and many others)!
Thanks for the comparison! Guess I’ll get the pedal 😁 was looking for a good SLO clone pedal but now I don’t have to 🎉
Edit: Also, after watching some more of the video I wanted to comment on this part too. The mini and pedal for sure are not the same internally. I tried the mini from a friend for fun in the rehearsal space. If you lower your guitar volume, the mini sounds like it's dying while trying to sound high-gain, while in all the pedal videos it responds so well to lowering the volume and turning almost bluesy.
Are you still in Bushido Code!?! Waiting to buy the next album...as long as you're still in the band!!!!
Yep, founding member, always will be. We're on a hiatus right now while we find a new drummer
@@belligerentamateur Bummer, drummers are always so hard to replace since you gotta have both chops and a great feel! Glad you guys are sticking together! Let us know if your other bands got any physical releases (I am a bit old school), I will buy in a flash. Thanks for the reply take it easy!!!
I can’t keep up… every time I get new gear, new stuff comes out smh
excellent video, never played a soldano but i'm definitely gonna grab one of the new pedals. you made it sound really really good in comparison. what are your benefits from microphonic pickups?
If a pickup isn't wax potted, it tends tto have more clarity and high end, but will squeal under high gain, if it is potted, it will not squeal as easily under gail, but the highs and clarity will be rolled off a little.
What would u expect from the lunch box mini? I'm not going to correct you. Thanks for the video.
But ! you can use preamp pedals as boost . Evenso thers more controls . ;) try ! Boost soldano with soldano
Awesome Video awesome pedal! at about 8:29 I hear some chirping but I bet that's not the pedal, probably the guitar is too close to the speaker or the pedal is too close to the amp maybe or something is feeding back.
40:35, fast foward a month and oh looky here, what do we have 😁🤘
Definitely looking into getting a synergy system. Definitely the way to go for me.
wooooooo love those wine red les pauls studio ...
Singing tones for days. And then still can do thrash as well. Pretty unremarkable amp!🤘
Sound come back at 1.30 approx...
can you try the diezel herbert mk2 pedal ?
Hopefully some day!
It's good. It's worth it. Get it.
@@belligerentamateur got a few uncommon pedals here that i don t use anymore ,maybe we can arrange something :)
Exciting ;)
sorry i could not be present ... trying to grab your lives but its been dificult ... still love you bro hahahah
It's all good man, you have a life to live!
Great video I think you’re playing rot away incorrectly😂 Also matt said you owe him royalties or at least some Taco Bell
I'll buy him Taco Bell if he shows me how to play it right LOL
@@belligerentamateur You’re just over playing it It doesn’t have all that thrashy stuff in it
Avenger and slo are quite different maybe you should have kept the slo around for videos like this 🤣 but the avenger is just as good just looser and chunkier and only have the lead channel
they're not that different.
@@belligerentamateur i found them quite a bit different both in tone and feel but you can tell they came from the same builder ...not as easy as 2 engls or marshalls though to be honest
@@josephbutler148 IF you want to boost (which Kyle here does a lot) the 100K plate resistors are a good mod to the SLO circuit and...the avenger has just that. The gain pot is 1M to acount for less resistance earlier in the SLO vs avenger but to be honest the ticking part of the two engines is the same. The avenger has 1 gain stage less, drops the gain a lot before going out to the loop and from there it IS different because the loop is pretty much...unbuffered but uses the plate out resistor and drop resistor to create a 2-4K output load. Whereas the SLO uses half a tube to buffer and shits things up for a lot of pedals there etc...THEN people mod that point and bring it down to...avenger levels.
The return circuit again works a bit better in the avenger, huge recovery there. So if you like to plug preamps there the avenger maybe a bit better.
The other differences are a bit less smoothing in the caps after the PI but no real difference worth mentioning and the depth knob (that changes everything). The transformers are a compression point as well.
Bottom line, no clean channel, but the 1M pot balances that out the avenger should be a bit less gainier vs the lead SLO channel, maybe a bit less compressed or darker and then would take a boost there better than the SLO.
BUT vs other amps? Pretty much brothers, almost twins.
We can’t compare the SLO mini head circuit to the SLO pedal as the first is made in China 🇨🇳 and the pedal is hand made in USA 🇺🇸 that’s why i would take pedal over the mini head ;)
well, I did anyways.
would it be worth getting the pedal if i already have a jet city jca50? my other amp is a 50w stealth 🥷
It would be another flavor of what you already have.
