Had the SLO II not sucked so much, I could be talked into getting this. As it stands, no sale. You might want one though.

Wait what SLO II sucked? The Synergy module?

Yes. It is awful. Bought it, tried to use it, found the crunch setting mediocre, the Overdrive setting was dreadfully overgained and muddy, and the module doesn't sound like the original or the amp/pedals.

Absolutely awful.

I actually like the sounds I’m hearing. Been wanting a SLO in the box pedal for a bit for some fun.

Interesting. I had version I when I had the Synergy rack and I really liked it. I'm surprised version II is not good.

The SLO is an amp I've lusted over for years and part of my disdain for the module is related to that.

Just buy a real SLO.

Tell Zelensky to give me a few rolls of the billions of dollars he's gotten and I will.

Stop being a peasant and just buy one


but real talk, that pedal demo doesn't get it. Sounds solid enough for an amp in a box pedal, but doesn't sound get it right. Surprisingly I think the direct in is the closest, even over plugging in to his SLO.

Hmm, that is interesting here too.. I loved the original module, guess I am glad I didn't get the new one! Thanks!
On the other hand, not digging this pedal much
