Trying out some Free Metal Plugins today! Links in the description.

[@exodus3163]

sounds really good

[@vegafos]

Ola! Question for FAQ: with so many youtubers now having amp sims with their name on it, what are the chances of an Ola England signature amp sim? And, will we ever see some kind of guitar pedals (overdrive, noise gate etc) under the Solar brand?

[@nmnmnm9509]

No matter what equipment he uses, he is able to make an acceptable guitar sound from cheap equipment or free plugins.

[@jfo3000]

Thanks for this video Ola.

[@nordicomsystems8841]

The IR loader that comes with the Ignite amp is pretty sweet, I use that more than the amp.

Ola having a shitload of super expensive amps, yet trying out free plugins for us plebs. Thank you, Sir.

[@MeOwOgai]

Absolute legend

[@codysroom6303]

Yea it makes me want to get into plugins. I use strictly tube amps as of now but it seems they are really freakin awesome but then u have to buy a whole shitload of stuff to b able to play plugins.

[@GastonSeep]

I don’t even have that “thing” to connect my guitar to my pc 😭 And my amp SUCKS (that’s what you get when you live in argentina everything is overpriced)

[@JayBruceWorld]

Tbh free amp sims just simplify the process. I have some middle of the road amps but I use free amp sims for recording.

[@KingOfAshesMusic]

@@codysroom6303 All you need is an audio interface. After that its just plug in and play. I just use a basic Scarlett 2i2 and it sounds great.

He also plays "No Compromise" at the end there. I can safely say that I got a lot of value for 0 dollars 0 cents.

Other musicians: You can buy my IR for 69$ Ola: Get.

[@holierthan]

Not all can afford giving them away.

[@paulwhite7125]

@@holierthan Dude you can make impulse responses with 2 programs. You don't even need the equipment, just a sound sample. You can literally go to guitar center, find your gear, record it, and make your own that way. Easiest way would be to isolate tracks from a song and just get the IR from a song.

[@paulwhite7125]

Never really understood why people sell impulse responses... A kid can make an impulse response with a pc lmao 🤣 😂 😆 Not to mention people selling their HX Stomp presets... people come up with all kinds of bs ways to make money. Only truly lazy people need to buy them honestly. Plenty to start with for FREE.

[@blumpkin69ish]

@@paulwhite7125 thats how i feel when i see people asking to buy presets for things like the helix. why spend 1500$ buying a piece of gear with unlimited power only to NOT learn how to use it?

[@zdf14]

@@blumpkin69ish Not only that, people actually sell their presets. It's not hard to make a tone. Just put it out there if you want people to enjoy it. It's not like you spent hours of hard labor to make one tone.

Man The Haunted riffs at the end, I gotta listen to that album again

Exactly what I thought :D

What's the name of the album?

I am not a musician, I never played guitar in my entire life.. I don’t even really knows what an amp is.. ut yet I can’t stop watching Olas videos. One could say I have to much time left over in my life.. but I don’t.. I just find them entertaining and interesting and Ola is funny as hell. Who knows.. mane he will make me buy a guitar one day and become frustrated that I can’t play the most simple riff even

[@hobronerhobroner1848]

The first time u play a proper D CHORD, u'll never put it down, besides monoprice has a great strat clone for under 100$...it sounds amazing right out of the box, promise, do it bro

[@RubyRoks]

If anyone down here prefers the more djent side of things, Audiority has a free Horizon Devices Precision Drive VST

[@ignitethemoment5186]

Amazing, thanks for the heads up! I miss using my Nano Attack when I can't have my pedal board, problem solved!

[@mercyfulmusic1629]

It’s definitely one of the better free ones

Where can i get his amp plugin?

[@VegasLoungeAct]

@@e_xcalibur578 Just do an internet search for "ML Sound Labs"

[@chrisrowe6835]

I've used the Emissary for the past few years. You could literally run that to a live cab and never need another head, it sounds so damn incredible

[@pipespeeps5349]

how do you do that? im pretty new to this stuff

[@kernelxsanders]

Emissary is probably my favorite free sim out there, it also includes extra controls on the back, like changing the power tubes between 6l6, el34 and kt88

[@gandalfilgrigio97]

the emissary was the first plugin that i've ever tried; i couldn't believe i could sound so much better with a virtual amp, damn i was young and stupid

[@JohnGuitarNoises]

Ryan Huthnance is the guy it was made for for his actual amp, check out his KZbin channel, crazy talented guy.

[@danboniface914]

Subscribed today. His videos are by far the best on all of KZbin. Fantastic!!!

[@CL8ON6]

Plug-ins are fuckin incredible sorcery. I just got into that whole thing in January and I feel spoiled cuz there's so much good shit to try right now and the quality is great

[@johannsoncrusoe5589]

ML is Best for the Money and neural dsp kill it I find. Plugin alliance is awesome as well. These are my favorites.

Dude that shit you played in the beginning was fucking amazing. Nevermind the tone, I'm super impressed with the playing

[@neckcheese1356]

I've been using all 3 of those for a while now, and you can definitely get some good tones with them. The Fluff one is my favorite.

Wow!! Ola you just opened some doors for me! I know I'm gettin' old (just turned 60) but will always be a staunch metal head. I didn't know this stuff even existed. Hell, I just got my first Marshall amp head that I'm pushin' through an '80s Fender M 80 4X10 cab. (sounds surprisingly good). This vid just made me a huge fan of yours! (only started watchin' your vids a short time ago). Thanx man! Will be watchin' a lot more.

[@GravesoftheInnocent]

Still playing great even with an injured finger I see! Thanks for doing this as I'm looking into picking up a few free amp sims to try out.

[@SillyDeal1604]

[@danielalejandro5674]

You can use any IR on Amped Roots by clicking the (IR) in the middle switch. It'll let you open any IR without using the plugin in a DAW.

[@edwardgrantmusicnyc]

Thanks Ola! These plugins chug!

[@RyTube996]

Have just downloaded the roots and am gonna play around That mini EQ lesson was so handy because i really don't know how to use them! Thanks so much

[@eranfalek]

Finally you are demonstrating ml labs! They are really good imo. You don't need nadir to load your own it. You can do it in the plugin directly. Cheers!

[@themightymcb7310]

I've found using any other cab sims direct into the ML plugins sounds way quieter than it should. Using NadIR is the right call

[@alwynnienaber9021]

Got the roots earlier today actually, They have added more IR's and a section where you can load your own ones like the StevieT one... You can even adjust the mic position in the Roots IR section. Been using Emissary for years, never knew there was a new one! I'm a year late, but thanks for the video :D

[@hardetv1200]

My first E-Guitar will arrive tomorrow. Played acoustic guitar 15 yrs ago. Never to late to start with fresh 31. :D So you are just about right on time sir. If I keep it up my next guitar will be a Solar for sure. But first I need to learn all the amazing Megadeth riffs.

[@richardsmith9615]

Le Pou Recto is still one of the greatest Rectifier Vst's out there, which is incredible given how long they've been out tbh. You should check out the Vadim Taranov vst's as well, he has done models of so many legendary high gain amps and they all sound awesome.

What?! Just got Focusrite yesterday & here you are! Thanks again for your help Ola 🙏🏻🤟🏻✌🏻

[@NickLeonard]

Ignite (makers of Emissary) have a ton of other great free plugins - another guitar amp, a tube power amp, a bass amp, 2 tube screamers, an FET drive and more. You can have a whole great sounding rig for free. Audiority also has a free Precision Drive and a Marshall Lead 12 emulation. Shift Line has a number of good bass and guitar IRs for free too! I've shown off a number of them in my videos and like using the free stuff whenever possible. I like that Ola included the tube screamer eq "trick"

[@jak9990]

That riff in the beginning blew me away 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@CZitoMusic]

Great demo! It's crazy to see how good free amp plugins sound now a days

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

I love the free roots amp, I use it for all seven string stuff I record with my own responses. Probably my favourite fake amp after the mercurial reaxis which isnt free but is amazing. Plug ins have made life so much easier when recording demos or even tracks to be reamped later. If I had any advice it would be grab as many impulse responses as you can because micing cabs up well is very difficult and inconsistent and some free responses are absolutely incredible and obviously bedroom friendly.

[@yannickpitch]

Thank you Ola, thinking of the small budgets is a really great sign of you being a really nice and helpful guy ! :)

[@JonnyCrackers]

I have a Kemper but my band wants me to do DI tracks for reamping so this is super super helpful just in time, thanks!

[@equaleyez]

I used Ignite Emissary and NadIR plugins just before getting my Kemper, really good stuff!!

[@butcher_0392]

Yes bro And the craziest thing about all this is that, if you know what you do, you can get the same tone from your kemper or better with them, and they are free plugins. Kemper charges you 2500 for a good tone, with emissary you pay with the production and mixing knowledge you have.

[@chrislopez1918]

That last one was meaty 🎶👌🤘

[@TonyLaMarca2manygadgets]

Ola, I'm super excited to get one of your IR's. Love your tone. One thing to note for other Helix users, the IR is too large for my Helix LT. I cut the tail off to make it ~ 200ms and that worked perfectly. Sounds fantastic! Thanks so much Ola.

[@adrianliew7716]

Omg.... 09:11 really made my day. Please do more riffs from The Haunted in your future videos!!!

[@czdot]

Ola, try Nalex Cruchman. That one is stupidly good and free. Also, I just love how you started playing All Against All from The Haunted which THE ONLY song I currently remember to play from start to finish. I already have the Emmisary VST and I am eagerly going to abuse the amp settings and that IR for this song in particular. You have made my day. :-D

[@cmd_f5]

Free sims are great. Have a ton of IR's and Ignite's plugs, Nalex, Mercuriall and Vadim's freeware. I have lotsa paid shit too but honestly, I'm more creative with free stuff usually. Remember people, IR makes up the bulk of your tone. And modern freebies can get ballpark gain structure and tube sag and such. So glad that we have a heap of solid free plugs for guitar/bass that are simple and good for noobs but also powerful, and absolutely album-quality once you put the right EQ and IR on it. Cheers Ola. Great vid

Thanks for the recommendation for the Ignite Emissary. I just threw that into one my mixes to to mess around with it, and it sounds amazing, especially when you blend it with other amps. I'm using a free 5150 sim that Glenn Fricker recommended on his channel on my left and right guitar tracks and threw this on the center guitar track with the "Lead Modern" preset just to mess around and it added life to my mix that I didn't know it needed. This is with the same cab on all of the tracks too.
