RIG OF THE WEEK - Charvel Nova Angel Vivaldi & Marshall JCM800

[@OlaEnglund]

RIG OF THE WEEK - Trying out the Charvel Nova, Angel Vivaldi sig guitar.

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

You truly help musicians find their path, Dude, and i believe that's a reason of many why we all love ya, Man! \m/

[@johan.svensson]

Kör själv en Charvel Star anno 2005. Supernöjd! 🤘

[@gregbrockway9913]

How about letting us know what's the cheapest 7 string out there that is any good. I bought a Jackson 7 string for $199.99 it plays pretty nice but doesn't stay in tune very well. Thanks. Love your channel

[@bohdankhmelnytsky9369]

@@gregbrockway9913 ibanez grg722m is good, just the pickups are muddy.

[@sword7534]

not a fan of charvel, great video tho, the jcm sounded good

[@AngelVivaldi]

God DANG! What a sick pairing... like a fine wine and high-end steak with a magnificent Swedish cook

[@nicholasmullins3693]

Yeah, the Tone Zone like a 2" thick t-bone

[@jonathancohen4427]

Sounds like some porno scenery my dude

[@DominicAirola]

I misread “cook” not gonna lie

[@ph0kused]

Was that a typo and cook was supposed to be something else? Got confused with all the food

[@f1chtl]

Will there be one with matte white finish? white finish with maple fretboard + gold hardware would look so sick

[@renanvilaca]

Holy sh** this JCM tone is sooo sick. Absolutely beast.

[@matttaylor1449]

That low mid growl is awesome. I'l like to hear how it sounds with so other 412 cabs.

[@Zimzephyr]

it is being driven by a Fortin OD pedal

[@GearGasms]

Yeah they sound great with Marshalls!

[@bassmonsteradsit7160]

@Ola Englund - what model JCM 800? Did you say and I'm just not catching it? I had a JCM 800 Lead Series back in the day (in the late 80's) and it had no distortion. I had to use distortion pedals to get any chug.

[@infn8loopmusic]

This comment is 💯 spot on 🔥 JCM beast

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

A charvel through a JCM, this is so 80s my hair permed itself

[@GearGasms]

I love mine through my DSL - classic tone for sure!

[@TheWolvesCurse]

i grew a bandana on my head while watching this.

[@guitaristxcore]

By law you have to wear spandex if this your rig

[@danielhofheinz8807]

Awesome 😂

[@Beegpapijimbo]

Charvel has been killing it with the DK series. The DK 24 2PT is probably the best guitar you can buy under 1000$ right now

[@arminsivic7441]

I agree... best value

[@aktrkaan]

Coffee with Angel Vivaldi, Ola?

[@GearGasms]

Wouldn’t that be killer?!

[@NateShredwards]

Ola probably couldn't contain his man crush boner lol

[@bornindissonance]

YESSSSSS

[@drphalanges1520]

Ola pls

[@franciscopimenta9089]

That JCM is so warm! Crazy about that tone!

[@mastathrash5609]

It's times like this that I really really regret selling mine long ago

[@franciscopimenta9089]

Mastathrash Hi, maybe you Will have another in the future. Probably, even more powerfull!

I just find it insane these are almost 40 years old and sound that fucking meaty in the low end. Kinda like how people forget how old the mesa boogie mk2 really is

[@eric1982R]

I have an old charvel from the 80s my mom played in her hairbands.. I put emgs in it and still play it. Awesome guitars. They have come a long way since the 80s. Sounds sick ola . Cheers

[@infn8loopmusic]

@5:30 "Drive at zero, level at max, and tone at AHHHHHHCK" 🤣🤣🤣

[@candicer]

🤣 Ola is funny

[@thaoriginalsirscoot]

He really didn't have much luck with that pedal at all, did he?

[@candicer]

No he didn't lol

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

You truly help musicians find their path, Dude, and i believe that's a reason of many why we all love ya, Man! \m/

[@_Stroda]

I think he is a bad man.

[@isakk_renhlom]

@@_Stroda ok

[@JFLL]

I have that classic pair of humbuckers in a cheap Cort, and the sound is georgeous, everyone should give it a try on a guitar they love playing.

[@goatsurgeon]

I like how you put the guitar show off in rig of the week instead of a separate episode- I can see that you’re packing your creativity from several kinds of videos into one and that’s awesome

[@SentientSeven]

Always love Ola riffing on a 7-string!

[@StreetsleeperUK]

I think the JCM800 and a pedal is my fav sound ever

[@brandonbryson3317]

Man, I am very surprised to say that this is one of my favorite tones youve ever gotten. I just didn’t expect that from a Charvel and a low/mid gain Marshall.

[@JavierMartinez-qs6xn]

5 months later and this is still my favorite guitar ever! This review was literally the final straw that convinced me to order it. I believe it was the " dude, this is a sick ass guitar" comment that did it. It effortlessly plays itself seriously, and so versatile. I play prog and tech death metal as well as death grind on it.

[@aenima1]

Im seriously considering one. I dont have a 7 string yet so im looking around. Is it USA made? Hows the quality?

[@screew708]

Basswood body, super strat shape, slanted headstock, flat neck profile and dimarzio tone zone & air norton pickups. Is this an Ibanez Rg in disguise?

[@shigurenikaido9588]

Angel used to play Ibanez RGs before he switched to Charvel.

[@Jeffmetal42]

As a Jackson/Charvel guy myself, gotta say that guitar is beautiful. I love black with gold hardware, especially that flat/matte black!

[@SlinkyT82]

That boosted 800 is CRUSHING! Sounds really great with that guitar and those pups.

[@nethbt]

Say what you want against the Tone Zone / Air Norton combo being too muddy and all but I believe it is the most versatile pickups ever, can handle any genre...I've had Fishmans , BK to EMGs, There's something about the TZone that keeps me coming back to it.

[@toddabuck]

Hey @Ola Englund I just received my very first solar guitar via ups today, after about an hour of jamming I can conclusively say that its the very best 7 string (I got the v2.7c) ive ever played!!! This is the first of many solars to be added to my collection, and I am more than ecstatic. Big thanks, love and support to you and your work, cheers!!

[@kongandbasses8732]

A Charvelle and a JCM is what brought up lots of guitarists back in the 1980's and 90's. There was literally no band l played in without at least one Charvel guitar. Btw, I am a bassplayer and played Fender and Warwick back in the days.

[@ranmanguitar]

I played one of these once last year. I was amazed at how nice the neck was.

[@remiestronks]

I love the classic looks of the guitar. Not to pointy, nice headstock. And the fact that it isn't a locking trem is great.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

from all videos i've watched on olas channel, in this one he has by far the best guitar tone.

[@Scherzo-mk4ih]

The Tonezone is such an awesome pickup!

[@sacredxgeometry]

I am convinced this is the most evil rig you've ever demoed even out of all your own Solar and Washburns and various other heads. The low end here is fucked and gnarly, and the crunchiness is amazing. Mind bending and influential.

[@GearGasms]

Charvel is still my favorite overall brand! 🎸🤘🏻😜

[@mikeanthony5684]

yyyeeessssus that first strum with the JCm was Ball Dropping!!! Love My Nova !

[@joeyatkins1504]

There are some great amps out there but but I always just go back to that Marshall tone. It just sounds so awesome

[@godsreclamation2539]

That tone is amazing. Love that tone

[@telecasteroil]

I like the set up part, this is awesome... 7 string instantly chugs.

[@LaDrouille64]

It's a really good addition to your content to record the first part like you did on your tech bench! You should do that in every guitar testing, i loved when you did it the other Time. I really enjoy how you manged to freshed out your content since your are in this office. Keep it up man you're amazing

[@87JRox]

Classic Marshall cant beat them! So overlooked now

[@2WheelsGood.01]

Wow that sounds good. Probably my favorite tone ever on this channel.

[@josephbrenner2278]

Love that Charvel Nova. Sounds amazing.

[@leogeraldo4872]

That Intro Riff Slays! 🤘🏻🔥 Thanks Ola! Great Vid!

[@franks471]

I like it. It sounded like it held tune ok. I was told once that they won't do a fender headstock shape with that tilt back angle instead of the usual style. I like that too, looks stunning.

[@12breacher82]

I love Angel Vivaldi! Great player and seems like a really cool dude. His guitars certainly do look awesome, flashy but classy. Pairs well with that JCM800 too.

[@joshgray530]

Just ordered it up.. The green one.. Cant wait.

[@TobyKBTY]

The gold uncovered pickups are way to flashy personally, but massive props to there being a mass production 7 string with a non locking trem. We need more models like that. Ibanez, when you dropping a prestige 7 string AZ??? We saw Wes Hauch's prototype!

[@Bassistking]

I love that 7-string reverse fender headstock. So much better for string tension overall. It’s like a more premium version of my old trusty Squier Stagemaster 7 which is probably the only 7-string with a reverse headstock Fender/Squier ever made publicly available.

[@mattcat5668]

Actually fender made these necks for charvel

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

Angel Vivaldi is so good it's almost depressing. Watching him practise sweeps its like watching the John Petrucci psycho exercises

[@Jopeymessmusic]

Oh, my arm just cracked a little...what was that Mr Petrucci? Those videos are hilarious.

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

@@Jopeymessmusic "If ever you feel the tempo is getting a bit too fast, just put the guitar down and sell it on ebay."

[@RafaelMelo74]

"Charbanez" feelings looking at the lower horn cut when I heard @ 6:50

[@LucaPasini]

I have a Squire Stagemaster 7 guitar from the year 2000 that has the exact same body and headstock shapes of this Charvel; the position of the switch and knobs is also almost identical!

[@RetroDoneRight]

Damn that JCM 800 sounds super good. Also putting the drive up until about 8 o'clock on that Hex Drive is a clean boost. So unlike most overdrives you can turn drive up a bit more without adding any distortion.

[@jhonpasquez6145]

Crushing belial!! Great sound overall!!!

[@stefankorner8498]

Hey Ola, I would really like to see more of your recording „how to“-videos. Keep going with your awesome work!

[@vividz8363]

Im seem to be out of place here aha, im an acoustic player who enjoys your content, Mabuhay from Philippines!!!

[@joseraphaeldichoso7150]

same bro, although i play jazz, and also from the PH haha.

[@GearGasms]

I’m just a plain old guy who doesn’t fit in here either!

[@Handsofakiller19]

Guitar players welcome!

[@limi.]

no worries we're all in one place...I watch him play high end guitars and equipments and yes I cannot afford in a million years 😂

[@aiden_macleod]

I used to play guitar, but since all my gear was stolen, I produce Metal on my laptop. Always something interesting on Ola's channel.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Marshall and 7 strings is such an underrated combo!

[@DefyTheTyrant]

Ola: just tried your amp and Angels amp on BIAS FX...both sick sounding!! Cool that this video comes out a few hours later

[@sebastianenequist9738]

I dig it man jmc800 such a monstrous amplifier!!

[@dragonnight97]

Such a sick riff at the beginning

[@Acheron666]

The Charvel nova is an amazing guitar. I have a 6 and 7 sting version. Not surprised as I’ve yet to play a Charvel that I don’t like.

[@thomaspendrey353]

Angel's Novas are the reason I need to change my bedding so much

[@silentboy85]

how time flies. a long time ago u said u are not a marshall amps fan. and now on this video u said this amp really kick s. im glad u like marshall

[@josephromero4989]

Hey Ola, I really appreciated how you started the video showing setup great idea!

[@Forboz]

Gold and black combinaison is sick !

[@HerrSchnabelewopski]

Really like that you first work on the guitar. This way you both highlight the guitar and the amp. Other rig of the weeks I felt like it was mainly an amp showcase :)

[@mikemitchell7529]

Rig of the week is my fav series of your channel. Really enjoyed this and the MT15. Humbly suggest a Laney Iron heart for a future episode if I could please!

[@KeyboardMac]

Looking forward to the Nova 6 string version, hope you could also feature it someday Ola, thankz

[@pedrovandrade]

Bruh, you were MADE to play 7 string. Not to say you don’t kick ass in 6 string as well, but with the 7 you just hit differently. I get chills every damn time.

[@caseywilson7768]

That amp! Killer tone

[@alexiwildchild7937]

Eu amo Vivaldi Angel

[@ok-tchau]

Black with golden details is badass

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

I love how nice and crispy this guitar looks and sounds. I dig the gold colour! \m/

[@vinniexrx]

That tone is INSANE! Got to love a JCM 800

[@jajasniewski]

I have a couple newer Charvels with the original Floyd Rose. They are quite easy to play and stay in tune remarkably well for the price point of the guitars.

[@akshitjha6251]

There's something about that JCM, that just kicks me in the balls, alongside the Vivaldi guitar.

[@adrianbernaldez1025]

I love the sound of that amp! Great playing too! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jav6665]

That is the perfect rhythm tone

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Angel is indeed a clever and talented player, for sure. I love how you keep the random stuff that happens in your videos; yours is not a slick and overly scripted approach and I really like that about your videos.

[@GearGasms]

I’m doing more of the same thing on my channel. I used to save them and put them out as blooper compilation vids but more and more I just leave them in because they’re fun

[@petruccidude]

Absolutely fuckin love the mids from British amps. They do it right. JCM800's are great!

[@AnilAyberkin]

Oh dude!! I love that db meter. Great gig btw 🤘🏻

[@iamhated1292]

you had my Like when you said "I think that it's important to show that it's loud".

[@brpadington]

I have been tempted to get a 7 or 8 string for a while now. I am a big Charvel/Jackson fan so this is super tempting. Nothing plays like a Charvel.

[@AkiraSpectrum]

dang, killer tone and sexy guitar!!! *so much drool* Angel is a killer guitarist and Charvel is KILLING IT with their DK24 line.

[@martinjuarez8583]

WOWWWW this Marshall sounds amazing!!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Love your videos man, your a kick ass guitar player Ola...always thumbs up!

[@BrothaManFromDa5thFl]

Best guitar/shirt combo I've ever seen!!

[@metusaalemi]

Just yesterday, I orderer one Angel Vivaldi signature satin black for me. My first 7-string after many years, and you made me place the order! ;)

[@shponjoel]

I got a brand new Charvel DK24 HSS with the floyd. I got it in a trade for my 2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio (amazing guitar btw) We both walked away very happy.

[@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002]

Love this rig, I live 5 mins from San Dimas

[@aiden_macleod]

Just listened to Master of the Universe in it's entirety last night, and have to say that Solar parts 1 & 2 are pretty epic!

[@michaelnedoshytko6920]

I'd love to see you play the new Charvel So Cal style 2! Black ash with the gotoh 510 would suit you.

[@kevinfeatherstone6062]

I've been enjoying watching you do some minor setups on the guitar before the playing begins... Maybe spend 2 minutes or so grabbing the amplifier, some cables, and pedals you think would pair well with the guitar and amp in the video. RIG of the week is quickly becoming one of my favorite segments.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Yep, I think you finally got the JCM800 tone figured out. Sounds awesome.

[@thadood4373]

WOAH!! THEM GOLD PICKUPS LOOK SWEET!

[@7stringslinger74]

I'm not a big fan of Charvel guitars, but this model is fantastic. Super comfortable.

[@keidall]

I want that guitar now! Damn Ola.

[@KennelGuyTries]

That is a beautiful guitar.

[@Rohbemusic]

Holy shit! You have really made that jcm sound great. Cool video!

[@diegoplaysrequinto]

Killer sound!

[@matthias7455]

You get great tone with the marshall. Imho it sounds more raw and authentic than some of the newer more refined modern amps you usually play. Great video

[@geronimodiaz2310]

I live in Mexico and this is a good startup for my day

[@philippelafortune-leroux4510]

The sound is absolutely killer and large! It reminds me of the sound when you did a Cannibal Corpse Rig video with the 7 strings, mesa Dual Rectifier and the Maxon pedal. Not exactly the same sound but the same old school thickness.

[@aragorn767]

The JCM-800 is my dream amp.

[@morky_mork]

I really want to try one of those Vivaldi signatures

[@palix5925]

That guitar is beautiful.

[@WildWildWeasel]

First time I hear Ola play a riff on the guitar, and it doesn't sound like Ola. Also try the tone at AGH!, It's really good!
