Namm 2012 Metal coverage - Day 2

[michaelotero91]

@Rahan482 Seriously

[Rahan482]

riffs of shit ! hate drop tunning ...

[Draceius]

@Rahan482 This guy is probably one of the best guitarist on youtube, moreover, open your mind a bit, you'll hear more drop tuning to more music you listen to, stop being so shut off.

[GlockenspielSAS]

Fredrik Thorendal. Hell yeah!

[zahlenpilz]

What were your thoughts about the kemper? I'm pretty excited about this one but can't find a really good video - will you do a test about this one?

[BaronGhede]

was that Thordendal?

[SpectrAudio]

Wish I had a chance to go check all of this out! our booth was packed the whole time. Thanks for covering this guys, now I can at least live vicariously. See you all next year!

[anguskahn22]

4:06 was that knights of the abyss?

[PPPatrickWWW]

The Engl Recto tube sounded super brutal, or was it just me?

[Arthurb06]

1:50 sounds so Acacia Strain, I love it!

[powerdesa]

@Arthurb06 Or just maybe?! maybe... .... Meshuggah!!

It is Fredrik Thordendal thats playing the part ya know.

[Arthurb06]

@powerdesa Yes i know that. I still stand by my previous statement.

[Arthurb06]

@powerdesa Listen to Acacia Strain - Beast.

[mogar]

That new Jet City sounds WICKED.  Do Want!!!

[BrownyCakes1]

I pissed off my neighbors because of the noises I made after seeing 2:04, they probably though I was jacking off.

[lmsjr]

Hey man - thx for the plug @ 3:44 !!

[fearedse]

@lmsjr dude I'm a fan!

[TheOridjinn]

@fearedse can't tell if sarcasm or truly a fan of the "tone king"

[Mark101vdg]

Haha

Step 1: learn 200 songs

Step 2: Hook up with all these famous musicians

Step 3: Forget everything but 4 riffs.

I can relate, except for step 2. Great coverage!

[fearedse]

@Mark101vdg that is the story of my life... I have the worst memory, so yeah you would probably hear me play around 4-5 different riffs throughout the show haha

[DerCorny]

*is your opinion

[DerCorny]

What are your opinions on the Kemper, Ola?

[DerCorny]

Who else thought OMG GUTHRIE at 2:03?

[81giorikas]

It is funny that the bugera sounded better than all the other shit...kemper looks cool though.

[givemeajackson]

aaaaaaargh, the tone fail was there too? you should have stood went to him and teach him how to make an amp sound good!

[givemeajackson]

the profiling amp is fucking awesome, you can get a quite exact and authentic copy of every amps sound. you can basically go to a shop and steal the sound of every amp there!

[givemeajackson]

engl retro??? fuck retro, i'm gonna play metal on the thing!

[raulox71]

5 are beliebers.

[Remnufacture]

kemper ftw

[DOOM666Savage]

what guitar is Fredrik playing at 1:50?

[allanmarcusguitar]

@DOOM666Savage An S7G neck through 30.2 8

[Prostheta]

0:14 - Ola blinks every time he palm mutes! X-D

Awesome.

[joeboogie83]

The Bogner Uberschall Twin Jet for the win!

[p0pel]

nice footage man!

[philbabbey]

Was that Fredrik playing a Strictly 7?

[allanmarcusguitar]

@philbabbey yep :-)

[bornburied]

The Jet City amp is a Cornford MKII 50. I called this a few days ago.(see Vai Legacy III video)

To buy a Cornford MKII in North America costs $4000

Thats why $2500 is actually a good price (relatively speaking)

For those who are in the know and want a top of the line Cornford I would suggest placing an order now.Since I doubt these will generate enough interest for the "Jet City Crowd" to stay around.

This is Guthrie Govans fav amp (he does public appearances with Suhr amps)

[Pianoblacks]

tone king. facepalm.

[AnimalRepellent]

@Pianoblacks haha

[darren0512341]

soooo looking forward to the marshall, mesa, and peavey booth!



[Madbutcher305]

Bugera sure sounds good.

[kewkenifewtan]

Brugera was fucking insane!



[tehsimo]

intresting but the audio sucks

[lzmiranda]

finally! Ola with an Uberschall! :D what do you think of it?

[EeeAreEyeKay]

I didnt really like the sound of the Engl he was playing through, It could have just been the audio on the camera though. The Bogner sounded nice. The Jet City also had very nice tone to it. The Budda kinda sounded muffled to me....But over all. The one with the best tone... is the Bugera. In my own opinion... it is amazing!

[AnimalRepellent]

@EeeAreEyeKay trust me. The camera sound would not do justice to any amp sound played live there. And trust me. It is the camera.

[1963ajackson]

Honestly your a good guitarist but your live sound with sound shitty scoop the mids and add some bass man.

[Eddacus313]

@1963ajackson You know that the camera mic makes the sound a LOT different?

[cynicown]

@1963ajackson how exactly do you think scooping your mids and increasing the bass would help someone cut through in a live situation?

[djentbusiness]

@1963ajackson Don't EVER scoop mids. EVER. If I see you scoop your mids I WILL EAT YOU. DON'T SCOOP YOUR MIDS CHILDREN.

[AnimalRepellent]

@djentbusiness I agree. But i am as well against overusing mids. People speak about mids, but fuck up using them anyway. And i certainly do not want a djent sound. Turn up your gain!

[adriihtraceur]

Test de orange Jim root signature!(Slipknot) ;)

[lilmrdr]

So, is the kemper a gimmick or does it sound legit? First time I have heard heavy sounds with the kemper, but it's hard to tell from the video if it lives up to the hype.

[sxesamuel]

The Uberschall kicks so much ass. I wish they didn't cost an arm and a leg though. You can practically get a Mesa Triple Recto AND a 4x12 for the price of just the Twin Jet head.

The Bugera is intense too. I wish I could go to NAMM (though I'm nowhere near the guitarist any of these guys are).

[dwg116]

I wonder how that kemper amp will do???

[tbeiber09]

SOOOO wish I could've gone!

[JeanAlexandre707]

Machine Head shirt ruled.

[MetalSlab]

Did I see the price on that 7 string Parker correctly???

[bledboost]

I wish the trend of down tuned guitars in metal would just die! People claim that it sounds heavier but to me it just sounds muddy and generic. Standard tuning with 6 strings sounds so much better.

[ZanmaruV2]

@bledboost So true

[XantimSWE]

@bledboost yup i think my 6505 sounds at it's best in Drop D.

[officialarvarker]

i want hear more bugera trirec

[TheCarlz333]

How many days does NAMM have in a year?

[Darkwarrior006]

I spy a Periphery Jacket! and a Keith Merrow!

[Zavaga15]

Keith Merrow At 3:10 ???

[highintel]

@Zavaga15 That's what I was thinking but I have only seen his face in 1 video..lol

[metalmaniac243]

I wasn't really feeling the guy playing the Bogner amps playing, Or atleast his go to riffa, Amp has a nice sound to it, hell alluv em do I just kinda got bored with all the stompish sludging guitarist

[metlguitar02]

Why aren't you demoing marshall amps? I know you've done a video on the jvm410h, but being that marshall is one of the biggest amp manufacturers, shouldn't you at least do some time with those amps?

[edes01]

Love the Bogner tones - great to see Ola playing one (even if it was only for a short period).

[puredisgust]

BUGERA TRIREC ..FUCKING WRECKS SHOP

[KillingCrawford]

i will forever love you for this

[wtfwasthatt]

You put 2 videos and im founding them both way better than all of the TTK videos and premier guitar...

loveya ola. hails from brazil.

[rambache]

3:44 THE TONE KING!!!

[GuernB2]

@rambache did he say "how weird is the tone king"?

[dontbannme254012]

OH man, that twin jet sounded gorgeous

[SANDS78]

Parker 7! about fucking time! asked them about 10 years ago if they could make a custom 7 for me.

Did you just rip on the toneking! haha!

[bananaman086]

carvin v3 hmmm



[15viceandvirtues]

Whooa, the new Jet City sounds good!

[sixstringwizard06]

I think Fredrik should stop dicking around with the Kemper and finish SDFX2, already :P

[coder2k]

Tom Wendt standing next to Fredrik Thordendal...I never thought I'd see that!

[MrJonathanMarquis]

Hey Ola go see Fargen amps. You will shit in your pants in a non metal way !

[adil2552]

The new ENGL Retro seems to do metal well... no surprise there ;-)

[lavastrat]

Djent djent. Djent djent.... djent

[girtha1134]

And I'm waiting for the vids with Mr.Loomis

[girtha1134]

HELL YEAH KEITH MERROW @ 3:10

[diobolic5150]

@ManBearPigInc I personally thought it was an amazing value. We played it for a while, and it sounds killer, imo.

[BrInGeRoFpLaUgEs8801]

Keith Merrow vs. Ola Englund guitar battle \m/

needs to happen.

[polishmetalhead1]

Keith Merrow and Ola! :D

[geicowithdagheko1]

great vid! I wanna go to NAMM when i grow up lol. Even so I still don't know what the "tone king'"s doing there. I mean what's his talent?

[hawg427]

@geicowithdagheko1 He DEMO'S new gear for the average guy. He actually has a great website and a great forum. Check him out. :-)

[ftw1422]

@hawg427 lol

[ManBearPigInc]

Also Ola what were your thoughts on the Tri-Rec?

[ManBearPigInc]

I wonder if all the amp companies came up to Ola and thanked him for making there amps sound so good.

[MadrojDaMadone]

TTK \m/

[MasonBangsDrums]

Bugera Tri-rec. Soo raw

[ftw1422]

favorite amps of day 2???

[lexluthier22]

chug-open. chug-open. chug-open.

[whitelotus808]

I wouldve ran out with Steves EVO. Its the legendary guitar sitting right in front of you!!!

[xboxnissan]

FINALLY THANK YOU fearedse for testing the TriRec !! Can you tell me about it?

[xboxnissan]

if only I could afford an ENGL :(

[5amuu]

nice man!

[BCRichJunky777]

3:30 a picture for the gods :D

[Pedrojoca]

Amazing, the Engl Retro Tube is a vintage style amp (low gain) and it does metal beautifully

[Tuttermuts]

7 string parker.....SEVEN STRING PARKER!!?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THE AWESOMENESS!!!

[Metalfeak3]

3:28 Keith and Ola side by side (Ola looking like a boss). Together they shall rule the world with their amazing, powerful, monster riffage!!!!!!!!

[adam614ce]

What in the world was that one tall amp that looks like a analog control panel on top of that Mesa Recto?

[adam614ce]

OH a Kemper profiling amp... I see... ok. Was it cool??

[TheGrupoepidemia]

very good Ola ...

[TheTrueHeaden]

The Budda is so freakin' amazing with its dark tone

[alex7leadg]

hey Ola, what do you think about jet city amps?

[KickMeandCry]

Hey Ola how well did the Tri-Rec live up, i know that is one amp that many people have been waiting for, what are your thoughts about it?

[duconmarcel]

This is metal amp porn.

[maxc643]

How does that trirec compare to say, a mesa dual rec or something?

[leibstandarte109]

How'd you like the Uberschall?

[ADguitarmetal]

the video was only *chug chug( 7 strings) chug chug *

[51931165]

Bugera Tri-rec is a very surprise!

[torchlord11]

Was the kemper amp hooked up to a 4x12, or some FRFR pa speakers?

[SynysterSecond]

Can you try some thing over at the Schecter booth Ola ? That would make my day.

[AlvisLiquid]

Also, how do you think the Bugera compares to the Rectifier?

[AlvisLiquid]

That Kemper seems pretty sweet.

[chipsta21]

no 1080p :0

[Fumashi]

All I heard was "chug chug chug chug chug"

[METALLICA6547]

@Fumashi i know great wasnt it :)

[guitarsehole]

@Fumashi Nothing wrong with that. It's amp testing for metal.

[musicianman121]

That parker 7 is just plain SICK!!!!!! too bad it carries that $5,999 price tag :/

[HandsFromDoom]

TTK !

[Mo7Vsta]

what was the best amp you played?

[ShinobioftheMyst]

2:05 dat fretless beauty <3

[Visnu2007]

Hey Ola its just wonderful that youre taking us with to the NAMM via Youtube. Thank you so much for your videos, really inspiring regarding to the service you do to other "brothers in arms". :)

[Fryek89]

I was really impressed by the Kemper profiling amp. Ola, how do you think it compares to the Axe FX 2 in terms of harmonic tube distortion and picking dynamics?

[SRcRasher]

4:12... I put my foot like you when i´m playin! :D

[matnrocknroll]

How was the Trirec?!?! :)

[DefenceSpeech]

Were any of the amps there not made in China?

[HeyBobbyVang]

Ola, do you think the Trirec feels a little thin sounding? Or was it just the setting it was in?

[infectiousfiles]

I read a guy saying OLA was a mix master and could make any amp sound good in a mix..none of these are in a mix, mixed or close miked and the amps still sound exactly the way he wants them to..a good guitarist that knows how to tweak knobs

[ESPsandEmgs]

@infectiousfiles

Not every amp sounds good in a mix, try playing a solid-state Crate in a band where the other guitarist is playing a Mesa Boogie...you can tweak the knobs until you're blue in the face, but it won't make a difference! Knowing how to set tones in a mix is an art form, why do you think so many youtube videos sound like shit? And really, just about any high end tube amp sounds good when being played by itself.

[infectiousfiles]

@ESPsandEmgs I never said otherwise, a shitty amp is a shitty amp..but I've heard a lot of high end tube amps being played on their own and not sounding as good as they could because whoever was playing them didn't know how to tweak it..

[ESPsandEmgs]

@infectiousfiles

Usually it has WAY more to do with the fact that 90% of people posting youtube videos don't mic up the amps...at all...let alone finding a mic position that works for that particular amp and speaker combo. Also the fact that YouTube compresses its files means that most intricacies of amps are lost to the viewer.

[maxstatic]

Again with the hanging with Fredrik, Charlie Sheen has nothing on you.

[DemmelitionMan95]

love the new ENGL

[pisnahuj10]

That Jet City proves that Soldano will make a good sounding amp and put his hearth in building it no matter what price bracket it goes in :)

[Godspeed961]

Ola u lucky man ! :D

[Guitar1sti]

DUDE WHERE IS THE SOCK CAM????!!!!

[TheArthur006]

only riffs? why?

[TonyThrash94]

Djent on Retro-Tube yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeaaaahh...

[wwwboyinabandcom]

Haha Ola, your metal pose at 3:30 is quality.

[ashasha3]

Bulgera needs to use better quality construction on their seats....I thought you were going to go face first into the amp there.

[abysslord16]

Yes ola, tell us about the trirec

[AndreySuperstar]

Engl's the best!

[spuogis]

hey Ola what the diffrence between Mesa and Bugera rectifiers?

[MattPurkis]

@spuogis bout 2000 bucks haha

[HorizonGeetar93]

0:43 you spoke words! :D

[Sickness796]

[mashafasha5]

[bazzamcgazza]

[tango616]

what did you think of the tri-rec from bugera, ola?

[RarelyMediocre]

TriRec sounded like an Ola Englund sound!

[marttitoivar]

Keith Merrow @ Budda amps??? Demisery??

[murdastick]

I fucking love Meshuggah!

[Cheesedtd]

TriRec sounded pretty sick

[MazzeoLucho]

1:15 Metallica tone

[Sickness796]

[AGuitaristsChannel]

@fearedse what did you think ok the kemper amp? is it anything like an axe fx?

[sept1ma]

Fuck! I want to go there!!!!!

[riotcrue]

The Kemper Profiling amp! I hope they release that soon, it is an interesting concept.
