SLO-100 vs OG 5150

He’s way more entertaining imho… “butt” admittedly he crosses the WTF??? line at times for sure. Now I like most of his amps better than Friedman but that’s not really apples to apple, it just means my tastes lean more into how Bogner hears things.

I prefer Bog's amps as well. He is nutty but I like that. Makes him memorable.

I don't know about you guys, but I certainly feel that an SLO (on the overdrive channel) and a 5150 (on the lead channel) can sound quite similar. But by similar, I mean similar in terms of them being thick, compressed, (relatively) dark amps that have that condensed mids kinda high-gain sound. They can both sound quite different, but there's definitely common ground. Having said that, I'd say the 5150 sounds more raw and wild, whereas the SLO sounds a bit more refined and versatile. The other two channels are quite dissimilar IMO, and I don't think a lot of folks use a 5150 for the first two channels although the SLO has way more useable clean and crunch channels. But the third channel on each of them does have similarities.

The more "raw and wild" is exactly why I love the 6505 1992. I need a savage tone. Its therapy. Im just a hard rock guy though. don't even chug. The Peavey is a killer hard rock amp.

I still don't like the SLO. Nothing wrong with it. Just doesn't turn me on. Wouldn't snub my nose at one. Sure as fuck wouldn't spend that kind of money to have its voice.

However I am spending 3K on a Bogner Snorkler. Another Marshall that romps out of the gate. Turn key if you will. And no I don't want Cantrell tones.

Me too. Granted I've only ever owned one Friedman, a Runt 20, but Jesus I hated that amp. It has given me an irrational dislike of anything Friedman.

The amp is greasy and I want one...
