BEING SAVAGE with the Savage Drive from Airis Effects

[@OlaEnglund]

New video showcasing the updated Savage Drive. A killer overdrive that tells you to subscribe to my channel!

[@nigel7779]

Yes, good. Happy times here.

[@johnclark6916]

Hi from Florida Ola!! My favorite time of day. 5:45 am watching your vids ! Pedal gives it a nice Edge! Good stuff.

[@barrygomez5968]

Was that a Baritone 6 String?

[@alanismorrissette4742]

Dude, you look like my Nord character in Skyrim. Are you a real life Viking?

[@2Below5150]

Thanks for the demo, off to buy this pedal now!

[@donovannicholson6616]

I got your solo album in the mail today! It was a surprise birthday present from my girlfriend who also loves watching your vids. It won't leave my cars cd player.

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Ive loved my Savage drive for years. One of the best metal drives ever

[@pimsmise]

One of your best tones in a while. Absolutely monster. Mainly due to the 2C+ but I really dig the Savage Drive!

[@HenryKhiev]

No no no. It's because of the Savage Drive. :)

[@FirstLast-kd7bk]

Hands down one of the best ODs for this type of playing. I’ve used one for a few years and it’s the only pedal on my board that always stays and never gets changed. This is a tone monster.

[@MightyZarquon]

I just like hearing the raw riff action, and epic tones. Ola the Rifferer!

[@MrOzzy15]

"aahhhh it's so tight already ahhh sit on my face!" hahahahah 😂😂😂

[@johnbraucher1499]

Best part was when he calmed his tits and said.. "I know." Lol

[@rascal1717]

Been hoping to see you demo the Savage drive for a while. It’s like instant Ola tone in a box. As expected, you made it sound nasty as hell!!

[@BrittonShrum]

I've been working with Rick from Airis for a good couple of years now. My guitar tone has never been better and I have no intentions of using any other pedal brand. Rick is a great guy and his company is highly underrated. So stoked that you did this review!

[@jeffgreenwood7895]

Made in Canada... no wonder it sounds so good! Great video!

[@metfan4l]

Sounds absolutely brutal, I kind of want one now...

[@pj666kemperprofiles]

This Savage Drive is killer, I love it !

[@daniele_girotto]

Hey Ola the swede why don't you do a comparison between the savage drive and the precision drive?

[@teriakamoto]

Oooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeee. What happened ?

[@heavy_gio]

Hi ola! Can you do a comparison with the precision horizon drive and the Savage drive?

[@jamesmelton5245]

Really like how the eyes light up on the skull when it's on. And how brutal it sounded. Seemed to inspire Ola

[@Vguitar7583]

Thanks for doing this video! I recently received my version 3 two weeks ago. I love it versus the precision drive I had before. The precision drive was nice just too tight and clean where I wanted something gnarly.

[@theshapeeternal_8388]

I got mine about a month ago, I cant compare it to anything else other than my Ibanez tube Screamer and it blows that away!

[@Farvann]

Ola the Driverer

[@nigel7779]

Farvie!

[@Farvann]

Nigelie!

[@nigel7779]

lol

[@rob3879]

Damn you Ola, stop testing such awesome shit. I already have a Zuul and a Nano Attack! This thing sounds sick \m/

[@AlanW]

100+ db? Your neighbors must be very excited that you bought a house far far away. ;)

[@calderguthrie6585]

@@emilandersen8628 look at his new house video. It's several videos back

[@dimmer1981]

5:15 is eargasm. Well done!

[@trendkill3333]

Well I know which pedal I’m getting next, that thing sounds HUGE

[@Beco96]

2 LED's as a skull eyes is so SAVAGE :)

[@Ana_Lev]

Awesome video, crunchy evil Ola tone! Nice work! Love my savage drive! Love to dime the tight control, no grit, and run way more amp gain and tweak up amp presence. You really need to push the preamp gain and adjust highs when you use only the tight control because of how much it dries the signal out! Sounds ungodly through my engl se670 el34!

[@darknessprevails8516]

I have this pedal. I really love this Monster

[@TheDans7300]

That things amazing like a compressor and overdrive in one

[@michelecamerotto2189]

Hey Ola the Comparisonerer, it would be great to see a comparison between the Precision Drive and the Savage Drive, cheers man! 🤘

[@Knight-brolaire]

savage drive kicks ass, I've had one for over a year and it works well in front or in the fx loop of all my amps.

[@slax1313]

Sounds badass....that skulls eyes....love it....also got your solo album in the mail the other day....!!!!!....

[@axemanfishing2703]

Holy shit, I totally love the sound of this drive unit, its KILLER chunky and tight! By the way, I got my CD today, thanks a million for sending it so quickly Ola, it will be my driving music for the next month at least. :-)

[@metalheadmaynard2684]

i have had a savage drive on my board for 9 months now. using it with the triple rectifier and its a monster

[@N.W.Oke.]

Just got mine! Traded it for an Airis Electric Dragon which doesn't sound nearly as vulgar as the Savage Drive!

[@ssmetalrulz]

Ola I think you should also check out the Nemesis Preamp pedal also from Airis Effects.. I think that sounds better than the Savage Drive.. Fluff has done a demo of it..

[@Sitruc_btb]

I have the Nemesis preamp, and a mid boost from Airis Effects. They are both incredible.

[@garyrsingleton]

Yeah the nemesis is definitely a different beast entirely

[@mattz1686]

I have one. It’s awesome

[@toolhog10]

My grandma had a rocking chair made from that same material on the amps front face.

[@richardaaron4454]

I have an EVH 5150 III EL34 and tried a few boosts/overdrives which really did nothing so I returned them. I ended up getting a TC Electronic Spark clean boost (switch on Clean, Gain all the way down, Volume all the way up) which I always leave on and it boosts all 3 channels beautifully, it doesn’t color my tone and the clean channel stays super clean, it just feels bigger/fuller and has much higher Volume (dB) on all of the channels which makes it one of my favorite pedals ever.

[@BrandonDeft]

Great video as always! I've found this to be my favorite overdrive of all time!!!!

[@twodudes9932]

man I love your vids and your humour. it really helps me finding gear that fits my taste.

[@dildojizzbaggins6969]

*humor You're German, not British. So use Modern English. Hach, meine immer-peinlichen Mitdeutschen.... :'D

[@markk9184]

Nice flub eraser!

[@lucwilson1]

Curious why you chose to use the Mark IIC+ (set to loose), rather than a looser amp like maybe your Dual Recto Tremoverb? And NS2 instead of your Zuul? Guessing half your stuff is now at the house? ;)

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

I got one of the newest versions of the Savage Drive just recently, that along with the Carnage Booster(I have the Limited Burger Booster version, with Bob from Bob's Burgers :D) make my dropped guitars sound so great, even through amps that sound handle such. I'm in D-G-C-F-A#-D-G on my Ormsby Headless Metal V 7

[@Sanjarih]

The Intro Riff was killer \m/

[@rpf23543]

Sick tone!!!

[@johnclark6916]

That guitar your playing is Savage!!! Love that black matte finish

[@ashleymerylweber]

🇨🇦 interesting! I think I need one of those

[@hbomb495]

Airis Savage drive into Engl Savage for ultimate Savage. Thumbnail of these two with the Macho Man and you’ve pretty much won at KZbin.

[@sabahoudini]

3:27 is one of the best, tightest, heaviest tones I've heard.

[@goatsurgeon]

Wait till you get your hands on their Merciless Distortion pedal... It’s like the HM2 but they cleaned it up in the bad spots! It’s like they took a surgical EQ tool and snipped the cat piss frequencies out and left the grit and teeth in it! I hope they make plugins of their pedals one day

[@garyrsingleton]

Visceral Abomination thanks for the words man! Yeah that’s exactly what I tell people about that pedal. It’ll def slam those Swedish tones but even rolling off the highs just a mm makes a massive difference. It’s very versatile

[@goatsurgeon]

Gary Singleton I put a low pass filter on my guitars at around 7khz cause it’s just noise from there and up. I try a 32DB slope if I have the option. Might be controversial but I like the difference.

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

Just got the V5 of this pedal to pair it with my 2C+

[@KeithMerrow]

Sounds cool, and how could you go wrong with that MySpace looking skull? I guess you can't, mkay?

[@garyrsingleton]

Keith Merrow kinda like having An agile with Darth Vader on it aye? :p

[@vnsguitar6567]

My life is simple- I see Ola video, I click it, i like it.

[@peterdebad1]

Testing great is awesome. Thanks Ola!

[@daveydoom5479]

I have this pedal and it’s so freakin good... kicked off my ghoul screamer outta my board too

[@Tiger1016.]

Just ordered the Ghoul this afternoon then found my way across this and going to have to order one of these too. Good thing the Ghoul was used from GC so I got a good return window. This demo was a perfect for me since I got a IIC+ and this was the exact flavor of tone I was looking for out of a MI Audio amp I was chasing. Not going to need an extra amp now!

[@blakecurtis7809]

Ahh SIT ON MY FACE! I say that to complete strangers at least once a day. I like you're style Ola.

[@tonyr7474]

Hey Ola . Have a question. Do you tune to 440HZ on your guitar or 432HZ on your guitar? Which do you prefer? Thanks for all you do. Have a blessed day.

[@PooNinja]

Hz is a measurement system using "made up human time" based on the rotation of your planet. but that's just my 6 cents .

[@V3xxe]

As far as I know he tunes A440. Purely because that shit is way easier with standard pedals.

[@philfort7886]

I was wondering when they send you this beauty

[@HenryKhiev]

The Savage Drive sounds great with the Mesa Mark II C+. It would've sounded better with the Solar E1.7 Explorer :)

[@jhamilton9447]

Ola tests anything and everything. 🤣

[@decisionheight]

Will Ola chug? Yes, instantly! 🇸🇪🤟

[@curmudgeonmahnruf]

Hi Ola. I'm happy to listen your chugs this morning :) What did you do for living before being a full time musician/producer/youtuber/god/burper/...?

[@GK-mz3zt]

Love the 'Depend' adult diaper commercial leading into 'Ola testing shit'

[@j-fquevillon8134]

Sounds so dirty and badass!!! Nice combination ;) - ''Ola the Tonererer''

[@ArmanGrim]

Grreaaat job man , awesome test 👍It was so tight🤟

[@ah-ito]

Ola, the next episode of Will it Chug has to be the VOX VXI. You will be surprised

[@kingstep76]

Awesome monster heavy tone man!!🤘🏻

[@barrygomez5968]

It's like a "Cleaner" Swedish buzzsaw sound

Domination!

[@fmpedalsofficial7308]

Killer!!!!! And again, you make things awesome!!!

[@TheJMan1K]

Ok shit that savage

[@Citizen_J]

Hey Ola! How does the Savage Drive pair with the Orange gear? I'm sure it's killer, but thought I'd ask anyway

[@niklashallberg4422]

Nice to see you putting up proper vids for a change and not just that spam content à la Does It Chug and those FAQs that haven't had any serious info in ages. Yet one good vid ain't gonna get me back on your subscribers list...

[@Legion_Victrix]

Yeah, Canadian product !! We didn't invent IKEA but we can make great pedals and amps :P

[@chestcrush]

Great review as always Ola. Now do it again with Satan (not the actual Satan, but it would be cool if you could book him for Coffee with Ola)

[@robertciaschini7625]

That's raw but gritty. Do they make those Mesa in Orange?

[@RhynerDobson]

This video was so heavy it killed my computer in class.

[@tommyostensen7339]

Nice! Now do a comparison between horizon precision drive and The hex drive

[@nigel7779]

That's Savage bruv

[@Logz1824]

Yessss, finally!!

[@toneconsultant]

Ola, you have the Zuul, Cockblocker, etc. Why use the Boss NS-2? Personally, I love that pedal, but it gets a bad rap, hence I ask.

[@chrislanier7304]

Good video blah blah blah .. by the way your new album is Awesome ! What's your thoughts on the band Demon Hunter ?

[@brentalvarez9611]

Sounds insane! Please do the new Fortin Blade pedal!!!!!!!

[@fredriksvard2603]

That dean (?) in the background is so cool

[@martyhammer]

Its a Washburn Stealth Dime signature guitar actually

[@mikedervos5974]

this is fucking savage man!!!

Daaaamn I just ordered a Savage Boost coz the site has a big sale on them right now. But now I'm sorta thinking if I need this...

Test the TC Electronic Eyemaster next! It’s supposed to be a faithful recreation of the HM2 for cheap!

"Sit on my face" - Ola Englund, 2019

[@nacktheslayer9882]

Ola do a full cover of domination!

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

Sweet!!!

[@DanGmz]

In my opinion you should test it in the clean channel too, basically we are hearing the amp distortion with the pedal as a booster, not the real pedal, also I cant hear any difference (or just a little) when you move the knobs because of that. I mean, it sounds killer of course, but not everyone has a Mesa boogie :D

[@thirteenthandy]

That's what overdrive pedals are intended for. It's not a distortion pedal.

[@DanGmz]

@@thirteenthandy yeah but it would be nice to hear the real sound too :)

[@FilipFichoBoshevski]

ooooffff...so thick and crunchy, it made me hungry:) Really nice . However, my favorite tone of yours was your demo of the Grind with the Dual rectifier, i can listen to that all day
