[@OlaEnglund]

Trying out the new Amp Room update. It’s a pretty challenging plugin, but it’s definitely worth it if you want some unique metal tones. Also happy Friday!

[@ricardoferreira369]

Sounds nice! Id like a lot to see your reviews on PEAVEY 6505 MH and MARSHALL ORIGIN 5. Can you do that, please? Thanx!

[@punkman1122]

That was a good riff in the beginning.

[@CodenameCuervo]

Ola Thursdays is paying off with your riffs, sounds meaner and with more detail just letting them rip like that!!! Less thinking and more picking... lol You rock man!!!

[@watcherzero000]

Is all the of the Kerry King stuff in the package or is it in a add on?

[@justinfigueroa5678]

Ambiance section was sounding a little like some Fear Factory tones. That's pretty cool. I have the Marshall Code 50 and I love it! It Chugs...also, it can most definitely Djent!

[@michabigulak19]

I'd love to see Solar bass in T shape with this dark wood and metal pickguard from previous videos... Have a good day everyone :)

[@farfly7]

I think we are all here to see you focus on the metal. Anyone who complains about that does not need to be here.

[@n_money1019]

Ola damn that intro was fire

[@Sergeant_Blain]

One of the few guys on yt that’s worth watching every second of the vid cause you always come with live review, like: noo that doesn’t chug… but 10 secs later, now it chugs!! So have to watch full videos to see you can Get it to chug, before eventuelt buying the gear😉 keep em vidz coming!!!

[@MrAcEsNeIgHtS1188]

Thanks for the walk-through Ola!! Pod Farm 2.5 HD Metal Pack although "ancient" (like me) still kicks ass to this day (like me)!! The one thing the Marshall Plugin does that I wish Pod Farm would do is be able to combine mics. But that's where IR loaders come in! Positive Grid's Bias Amp 2 is awesome as well!! New doesn't always mean better. Would love to see/hear you test drive an original Peavey Butcher stack!!

[@johnwave2827]

Thank you for the update!

[@kellybrincks]

Love that you released the T in white. Dream guitar

I have a question for a FAQ. Your favourite decade for metal is 90s, like mine, can you name your favourite album from each year from 90-99? Without repeating bands. It would be interesting to see how our lists compare. Thanks for all the great content, Your the man Ola!

[@tomas-skala]

Been jonesing for a Tele style axe to add to my collection. That natural wood with black pickguard is sexy 🤘 You just dumped gas on that fire and it's all your fault!! Well played Ola.

[@austinmoura4592]

Ya the natural wood version is my favorite of his T series, besides all black of course but i got enough of black guitars lol

[@hubokus]

hell yeah

[@MrJHate]

Dude, PLEASE get your people to make one of those Type T guitars for lefties. Those things are killer.

[@hybrydsanity5857]

Sounded good I have this stuff and the Ik Amplitube/Tonex bundles similar all around style and work for your tone deal , What do you think of the "ML sound lab" sims have you checked them out and or reviewed any of them ? there also some other cool ones I have from "audio assault" these are like the least expensive in the market I'd like to hear your opinion of those ,both Assault and ML do a lot of Metal amps or metal capable.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

4:12 Shout out to the every single video riff, we love you.

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

And immediately afterwards, we hear one of the best riffs Slayer has ever put out.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I am a huge Neural DSP fan. I have been searching for a more classic amp sound so I can play Satriani sounding stuff. Granted I don't own a JS series Ibanez but I just haven't been able to recreate his amp tone, yet. There is the Joe Satriani Amplitude but it just sounds muffled like most if their stand alone plugins. I first used Amplitube a couple years ago. I hope this plugin can deliver to meet what I hear in my head.

[@theviking8189]

Any plan for an 8 string tele?

Very nice Top 👍🤟

[@DouglasComical]

Holy shit I might need to give amproom another look

[@AlexCoutis]

[@WillVRam]

Are all these plugins like Amplitube, BiasFX, Guitarrig, emissary a bunch of Impulse Response recorded and coupled together in the plataform?

[@godzillasimpson8357]

Damn this guy can really shred. And sound good.

[@theguitaristGabriel]

wasp Bro, I guess it makes more sense to get the 2203 with EL34s then add your own eq or pedals if you want the KK sound, but I do like all those mic and amp settings, its def a all around Marshall metal sound...but again; if you could only choose on softie Marshall...would it not be the 2203?

[@ricardoferreira369]

Id like a lot to see your reviews on PEAVEY 6505 MH and MARSHALL ORIGIN 5. Canyou do that, please? Thanx!

[@LuchoFerro]

Can you use external IR's with it?

[@michaelodenbrett9658]

I just need to know the signal chain/amp that's in the intro. Sounds better than everything else after it.

[@Mikeyprs21]

Jesus, I remember the original of this too!

[@20cmusic]

I need that guitar

[@buttsmasher810]

Your picking style/hand makes me jealous..

[@thecrypticstench]

Soo then start working on your own technique? All he’s doing is picking with the trailing edge of the pick instead of the lead edge

[@bshambur0873]

If you're an intermediate player it's not as hard as you might think. Practice gallop picking.

[@buttsmasher810]

Guys ive been playing for 10yrs im not talking about picking style im talking about the shape of his palm and fingers while he is playing noone plays like he does..

[@thecrypticstench]

@@buttsmasher810 so what if you’ve been playing for 10 years? If we’re going by that logic, I’ve been playing for 17 years, going on 18, and yea, you’re talking about his picking style. Also, others have played like that, one was Chuck Schuldiner, mastermind behind Death, the multiple others are the gospel and r&b guitarists that developed this style.

[@l8sk8r86]

Pretty inefficient, but whatever works?

[@argharocky]

Can you make that amp like a real pre amp sound ? That thing same like my plugins did before, heard only distortion without pre amp .

[@squeezenor]

Been using the new Amp Room for about a year now. It destroys anything from Neural, ML Sound Labs, Amplitube 5, and probably anything else out there for cleans, metal, effects... Whatever you need. Haven't seen anything as well thought out or easy to use as this. It truly rewards creativity and individuality. They give you more ways to use your stuff, not just more stuff to use. Get as brutal, weird, or normal as you want. The cabs are the real key here. Use one, use two, go stereo, combine them with the crossover, and more. Add some of that API eq and some room reverb and you're good. And you're getting cabs done by Daniel Bergstrand,Tony Platt and Terry Date, which is crazy. Stocking up on Marshalls and other extras can get expensive fast, but they are worth it.

[@adityabali1939]

Any information if this works on M1 chip of new apple macs?

[@squeezenor]

@@adityabali1939 not a mac guy, but their site says: "As of version 2.5.18, all Softube products are qualified for MacOS 11 Big Sur on Intel-based Macs in our supported DAWs. Apple Silicon support is pending. Please refer to our System Requirements on our Support page for further details."

This is some seriously impressive tech, unbelievable the signal chains you can create.

[@chrisbassman3936]

[@ARCHERDAVE1]

Stupid Question. If you have the Amp Room amp package, do you need another DAW. Is there a recommended DAW compatible with Amp Room?

[@kaymonyoung1054]

Skinny man

[@WhiteManXRP]

The guy who can make metalzone sound good.

[@putontheseglasses8809]

I did that before he did and boosted it for extra tightness.

[@connorbrown2194]

Don’t you just put it in the effects loop?

[@putontheseglasses8809]

@@connorbrown2194 yup or aux input in front of a amp like line 6 Spider amps have. just put a 1/4 adapter on one end and the 1/8 cable to the aux input.

[@DeadRingerMachine]

MetalZone has SO much adjustability that anyone should be able to make it sound good. My MT-2 Sounds great running through a Decimator into the front of my Marshall Haze 40 all-tube amp on clean channel. The Haze is heavy on the low-end, so the MetalZone’s highs really work with it. So it all depends on what you’re using man.

[@doctoribanez]

I have a problem with cabinets and mic positions. I can't tell if it sounds better or worse after awhile lol.

[@OlaEnglund]

It's not easy man, the best is to audition them in a mix to get a good idea of what sounds good or not. It's not easy when you're listening to the guitar on its own.

[@billyruben6540]

I'm with you. I like the idea of options, but I quickly find out I don't know what I'm doing. I think the trick is to find something that sounds ok then save it. Come back to it a day or two later. If it still sounds good, you win. More often than not, I go "what the fuck was I thinking" and delete it.

[@SaintKines]

@@billyruben6540 late but I had the same problem when I was experimenting with VSTs and IRs. One thing I did was consider the 3 top sounds I was really after, then I tried to find the best solo recordings of those sounds I could find for a reference. It not only helped me focus and find what I was after but helped train me a bit better for what to listen for.

[@vethwynwetfeather]

When creating a tone do you suggest dialing in the eq before dialing in the cab? 🤘

[@marcorodriguez7694]

I'm not Ola but set all your knobs even at 12 o clock then choose your cabinets first. Once you find the cab/mic sounds and positions that you're happy with, then start messing with the EQ. That's usually what I do. There's instances when I'll find a good combo of cabs/ speakers and mics that I usually don't even mess with the eq all that much.

[@hendrix5757]

Basically the approach that the above reply suggested is the most standard and pragmatic method to follow, especially when trying to avoid 'chasing your tail' while one is truly attempting to dial in their desired tone!

[@CrushingAxes]

This intro riff is awesome! New feared album please! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@billyo1083]

Do you know what's the name of the song by any chance? I'm talking about the intro riff as well.

[@CrushingAxes]

@@billyo1083 I think it's something Ola created just to record this video, perhaps it will be a new song, but for now I think it's just something he created for demo purposes.

[@BillyPolaris]

Question for FAQ - Ola are you aware of the KZbinr Badlands Chug? I know what your thinking, this must be a total heavy metal dude... NOPE! But I think it's a channel that you might enjoy considering you love drinking Coke Zero and burping. This Badlands Chug guy drinks massive amounts of Soda Pop and burps... it's very impressive! I'm sensing a total cross over video with your chugs and the Mesa Badlander... It's a real mind melter eh? Thanks for the content, my kids and I love watching your videos! My son is 1.5 years old and LOVES PANTERA!!!

[@joeschlicht]

For Marshall tones alone (and not just metal), which would be better, this or Mecuriall?

[@dirtyharry1881]

this, I think. Have both, but I haven't touched Mercurial for a looong while...

[@zakkcovers18]

👌

[@MrPoteflon]

Hi Ola. Question for next FAQ: do you think that nowadays we have too much of music? I mean that today because of Internet and all streaming platforms you can find and listen so many bands that it is hard to find something new and fresh. If there are some bands or songs that you recently discovered and first thought was "this is good, awesome" instead of "meh, like millions of other bands". Cheers *buuurp*, best wishes for you, your wife, kids and whole family.

[@bishfish1514]

I wanna get this guitar it’s so cool looking

[@benreigle8104]

Constructive criticism is when compared to other (Neural) plugins it seems very brittle to me. Lacks in the low mid and low end and has a bunch of high end that I would be sculpting with an eq. Maybe building those complex preset-sized scenes is the way to get something.

[@slayabouts]

It all definitely sounds pretty brittle, but the tone in a mix might not be that bad But it’s somehow both brittle and under a blanket. I tested it out myself and I couldn’t get a good sound of it

[@andrehughes1]

You have amazing focus to go through these things. A million amps, and, effects, and IR's. And then the same for hardware modelers. Its exhausting, and dare I say pointless. What most rock guitarists want is a killer tone that immediately breaks up into perfect harmonic feedback when playing at stage volume. In other words, a tube amp.

[@mvsr990]

I tried Amp Room a while ago and it was pretty meh so I kind of understand why people ignored the new one for the most part. I got the new tape echo plugin and while I was there got the demo of the Marshalls and stuff, and it's been vastly improved. I don't think it gives up anything to my Fractal FM3, except that the reverb options are limited but I can just throw LX480 on a send in the DAW anyway. It's also more fun for experimenting with the room options - drop out all close mics and just have the room for atmosphere in the background of other sounds.

It runs as a VST plugin inside a DAW. In my case I run it in Ableton Live. But it will work in others like Reaper, Protools, and so on. You add it to a track as an effect. With the DAW set up properly you hear the live sound in realtime.
