Mishap Mansoor. Idk.. My phone just likes to spell it that way. Sue me. I think it did it once when I was talking to Mishap.

[@robloyst4514]

Ola. What impulse did you load up? I need it! Also. What’s your guitar tuned too? Looking for that kick ass SFU tone!!!!!

[@jordanaguilar6162]

you are awesome ola!!! i barely came across your stuff recently and i love it!! cheers brotha!

Reasons why I heart you.

Hi Angel!

[@rmp5s]

Daaaaamn...Vivaldi lurking in the comment section? nice!! lol

[@RudyAyoub]

Boi this plugin even without IR's sounds DECENT. Been a blast to use

[@soggyman3852]

Rudy Ayoub ayeee what’s up rudy!!

[@d49eddieboiheng60]

Hello ruby adobe

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

If you ever get a signature plugin (other than the EZ Mix 2 presets), make sure it has a burp knob. Really doesn't need to do anything other than being there.

[@ironsack2273]

I have always had the idea to record my burps and try to make it the WUB Wub WUBs in dubstep or use it like a low metal growl lol.

[@mickneus]

Need a Solar Burp pedal

[@PJmars100]

What an utterly brilliant plug in review... I wish plug in reviewers in general had your no-nonsense attitude and your ability to cut through crap and deliver the facts. You make plug ins look easy and fun.. Thanks Ola...

[@ecofreak36]

For those of you who feel like this sounds too "thin" or not quite full bodied enough, I think you're right. But that doesn't mean this isn't a useful plugin. It's designed with production in mind, and most of your favorite guitar tones don't sound nearly this good before they're processed and fit into the mix. We have to keep in mind that Misha has the mind of a producer just as much if not more than he has the mind of a guitarist. Especially consider that for the majority of his career he wrote the bass and synth parts. He designs his guitar tones with the greater picture of the mix already imprinted in his head. This plugin should work excellently for Misha's style of metal because of the way that he and Periphery tend to use guitars is as complimentary instruments rather than the focal point. His production emphasizes the guitar carrying the color of the melody while the bass and synths hold the meat. There's a reason why they quad track their guitars AND often double the guitar parts with synths. He knows, and we have to remember that the music comes first, and the instruments are just a means of creating it.

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

To be honest this is THE ONLY review of this plug-in I can trust at this point. And I felt Ola's hesitation at the end, "this type of tone" hehe...

[@dankwartmustang531]

it's kind of obvious, i felt something was wrong

[@edinb2394]

Hi Ola,yesterday i ollad my wifes coffecup,it was really fun :)

[@OlaEnglund]

what a hero!

[@scriptosaurusrex]

Hope you ollad the fresh brew itself.

[@alyusdickey9561]

Oh Gee! Champion! Ollad is a Swedish word, Ola mentioned it in a FAQ

[@tehsimo]

meh I think Fortin has won this round

[@jeremyrae4882]

I bought both. The cool thing about JST is that you can shut off the amp and just use the FX for it. So you can kind of get the best of both worlds. However I do like the high gain tone better in Fortin Nameless.

[@woocifer]

I tried the Fortin and was actually more impressed by Mercuriall VSTs. Have you tried them?

[@felimeister1]

mercuriall it's pretty awesome, the reaxis with impulses it's so close to the original.

[@AndrewScott1337]

oh yeah, i love JST clip and Gain Reduction but im not a huge fan of the amp sims. That neural DSP shit was next level tho

[@cfranks8311]

Fortin for the win

[@noir4659]

These Synder riffs bring back some 2015 old time memories for me :)

[@LorcanWard]

Some of the tones in this video are probably my favourite you have ever got from amp modelling. It responds so well to your pick attack and with the highs curved off it sounds smooth when you really dig in. The mid range really comes out without getting clanky. I've always loved tones with a low-mid emphasis so I'm in a bit of a minority there with how modern pickups and pedals are voiced with a hi-mid emphasis for djenty tones.

[@v.l.t.r]

Glad you managed to get a great tone. An other youtuber didn't, and JST made his video removed for «copyright infringement»

[@ChaosPootato]

V.L.T.R Really? Who was it?

[@8bigtubes]

Yes I've heard of this incident too. JST eventually apologized but too little too late. Bad form on JST's part. Really bad form.

[@v.l.t.r]

@@ChaosPootato Stay Metal Ray

[@pimsmise]

It didn't think that was a great tone at all to be honest.

[@nomeru_0]

yeah i dont blame joey. He made the plugin look terrible and made people think it was the plugins fault when in reality he is the problem with his tone. His DIs are trash and will sound bad through any plugin, just go look at his others videos and you will see what i mean.

[@andreaseveso]

Clean, Church and Lead, you don't know how much I love you for that

[@johnstitt2615]

Help me Ola Englund. You are my only hope ! ....I dig the Princess Leia look with the headphones.....it is you my friend.

[@keschgelb]

I must say, when Ola loaded his own impulse response at 10:00, the plug-in sounded really good the first time....

[@GhostGuitars]

totally, was a bit shit until then. instant chunk with the IR

[@maniacle]

Hey man...thank you for testing more of the direct plug ins...one cannot go to a music store to sample the tones of a plug in...based on your reliability, I trust your judgement along with your examples...Im going to purchase this based on this vid...cheers....

[@elodieadams]

Was looking for a metal guitar amp plugin for my album and stumbled across this video. Had to comment and say love the humour you use in your videos dude!!! 🤘🤘🤣

[@tstarunshekhawat7]

I WANT THESE TYPE OF OLA JUMPSCARES MORE! I am still laughing and it's still stuck in my head😂

[@xplanet2112]

A real all in one plug in, looks extremely comprehensive in terms of features. Nice demo.

[@adamshrek331]

Hi Ola just to let you know this video is helping me get through a painful poo.

[@DirtyHippyStudio]

Phaha

[@MichaelSmith-mq7wg]

Sounds very Line6 PodFarm-ish.....from 15 years ago.

[@nekroreaper6348]

aftr this comment i opened up my podfarm 2 plugin since i use a line 6 ux2 interface and it came with it and decided to see if any of the presets sounded like anything close to this then decided to mimic the sounds myself. after a couple hours of playing around with it....you arent wrong. i have a few JST plugins from artists which i adore but this comment made me really think about it because i never used the podfarm in my life until now except for when i didnt know shit and just needed a quick tone. in the end, i remembered Dethklok when Brendan first came out with it, used a line 6 interface also i think the XT? its called? and one of the presets every podfarm has he used just tweaked, and it sounded heavy as fuck at the time for the show. So i played with that preset also and got an even bigger and wider sounding heavier tone than this plugin did in the whole video. amp sims are really all the same in various ways but you nailed this comment on the head. It does sound like something line 6 would've made years ago.

[@ollrick242]

Killer Riffs... you must be Metal God....🤟

[@war1ordman]

Got it and like it a lot, great home practice and jam sounds without need of super expensive gear and stuck of equipment. Recommended.

[@javatan6072]

i was convinced to skip this vid because i wasn't in the mood.... but i saw that intro and i said "fuck it that was some cool shit... i'll watch it"... keep the good-random-totallymetalz\m/shitz-work man EDIT: it actually fuckiing worked... i really needed this kinda plugin... glory to all gods!!!

[@nkrusty3907]

riff at 13:24 is killer

[@mohannadalghaslan3411]

I can't for the life in me remember out of which song is it.

[@CatPickStudios]

Might be a cool plugin, but after JST filed a false copyright claim on a guy who paid his own money (150 dollars) to get the plugin and didn't like it in his video, I think I'll spend my money elsewhere. His review wasn't that great, but still. And yes, they did kind of apologise, but not really. Playing with copyright strikes is dangerous, because if you get 3, your channel is automatically taken down. If anyone is interested, the KZbinr is called Stay Metal Ray. And please don't take this as me trying to make Ola look bad, that's definitely now what I'm saying.

[@jensonthompson4767]

CatPick Studios too be fair, in the video, his do’s were horrible and were just clipping everywhere. BUT, that doesn’t take away he did copyright strike his video and now Joey has messed up his reputation quite a lot. It takes a big person to own up to what he did, so I think we should be able to move on from this over time.

[@willb3698]

Did you see my Post about them removing the presets after the pre-order period? So I went to buy but I wont get any presets. That sucks and is just ridiculous, I asked them to change this then I will buy. (but make that an option for everyone). Fancy not having a preset. as an end user, when they exist in the first place.

[@jensonthompson4767]

Will B I’m pretty sure they made them available for jst vip or some shit

[@craigpaterson5090]

CatPick Studios yawn is this still going on

[@deadalonethe1]

Joey Sturgis issued a public apology in a video, which seemed pretty sincere in my opinion, he knows exactly how bad his action was. I don't want to defend him, it is up for everyone to develop a perspective on this matter, I just wanted to let you know he's not necessarily that big of an ahole, he just got angry and made a mistake in a bad emotional state, we all do mistakes. The internet doesn't forget tho, it is enough to make one mistake to ruin your reputation, which is just as unfair as his action was.

[@chadnugent7802]

Ola, you're missing that the gain knob continues to 3 more stacks of gain stages, giving you 12 tone stages per channel (look for the roman numeral @ the 4 o'clock position to see which stage you're at.

[@SoMyungJung]

[@jparkerriffs]

Good demo, love the presents, really cool tones, nice camera work.

[@matheusburger6322]

Good to see you playing so many Synder songs.

[@brownpants101]

Can't believe this is $150. Seems...too much.

[@dooboio7816]

With the right names on the product you can charge how much you want :(

[@dynatwenty]

it´s on sale for 69$ atm.

[@LimewaterMusic]

On sale for $30 and honestly still not that interested lmao you got it

[@diabolicwaste]

it is expensive but worth every penny i bought the jeff loomis one and its fucking perfect

[@Nazkar.]

I dont really dig the tones you got from this plugin and is not you, is the plugin because I have heard other guitarrists trying it and it was the same for me. I really prefer the Fortin Nameless

[@pablocacaster]

yeah i feel its so thin, usually misha endorses great products this is not one of them :\

[@alyusdickey9561]

Sr. X i love your profile pic!

[@misterringer]

It is thin, but you have to consider misha plays with 2 other guitarists and a bass player. gotta have room for all that I guess :P

[@pablocacaster]

i would disagree, ive used his tones from axfx they are not thin at all

[@misterringer]

fair enough. I was just speculating on why these sounded so thin. I imagine it could be fattened up within the preset settings anyway.

[@goatsurgeon]

I agree with the amp sim concept, for a quick awesome tone. All I needed was a clean amp tone for my pedal and I plugged directly into my audio interface. Rawr. 🐯

[@Gummmmy]

I'm new to your channel, and I just bought this pack! it better be good Ola. I haven't had a chance to blast it yet, but I'm pretty pumped. fingers crossed... nothing free has had the punch I'm looking for...

[@JYap2]

Hi @Ola Englund ! Did you test the plugin with physical precision drive instead of digital one. Or did you test them combined? If so, I would be interested in the results. Greetings from Helsinki!

[@EvanFifesMusic]

Definitely his Haunted Shores tone. Very nice metal tone! if not a touch too "crunchy" I liked the Pur turned down.

[@carlosrelampago2279]

Hi Ola.🤘🤘🤘. Love those tones. Super sound. Wich tunning Guitar are you using? My standar tunning sound's diferent. 🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘

[@doubleuseven]

That's how a demo is done. Good job!

[@robistocco]

To me it's kinda of an elephant in the room that Misha's Toneforge and Fortin Nameless came out pretty much at the same time, everybody is reviewing them separately and nobody is doing a direct comparison of the two. It's like everyone respects JST and NeuralDSP and doesn't want to be rude by saying "oh this one is actually better than the other". Is it just me?

[@poulwinther]

I think the elephant already left the room again because with this the choice is too easy, even for elephants.

[@neonether]

Seems like it might just be you perhaps. Why does it have to turn into a competition? It's music, it's about community, sharing, innovating. The competitive view is certainly a mindset. One might argue the two 'similar' products put out by two independent companies serve different audiences. The Fortin def has badass bluesy plexi tones and is based on a much older classic. Dif generations of tech, dif generation audience. In music as in all things, why don't we say, "damn, now I have two badass plug-ins to rock with"?

[@sacredxgeometry]

Who cares? Get them both, use them both. Whatever. You win either way, both plug-ins are pretty cool. If you don't like it then don't use it!?

[@robistocco]

Sacredgeometry How said I don't like them? I in fact bought both of them during the pre-sale, when there weren't even demoes to check out how they sound, I trusted both brands - and I'm happy with both plugins. I'm just saying that there usually are zillions of video of people making direct comparisons of guitars, pedals, amps, amp modelers, plugins, you name it. In this specific case though it just seems like something that shall not be done.

[@gentlewolf1279]

Potentially the greatest intro... ever...

[@eXtendedmusicHD]

I want that song as a full song: MISHA dun dun dun dun MANSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

[@JohnGaray]

Thank you, love your reviews! Just picked it up based on your review!

[@search895]

Maybe no one cares but i like this sound better than others you reviewed because i'm more a punk rocker than a metal head. This plugin amp sounds very similar to Strung Out and other 90s skate core bands who recorded with mesas and jcms back then and similar today. Its not the usual fashioned punk rock tone today but Strung Out still sound like that. They are also half-progmetal in their riffs by the way.

[@dooboio7816]

Maybe if I was a better fan I would know this, but what song is that from 0:20? Riffs are SICK

[@JuliannnO023]

Awesome video once again Ola. What do you think of khdk, Kirk Hammett's pedal brand? Ever think of maybe doing a demo of those pedals?

[@Yuridrial]

Entertaining as always! Thanks for your awesome work!! Cheers from Russia 👾👾

[@rmp5s]

Love Bulb, love Ola, but am I the only one that thinks this sounded...kinda...meh...? At best? Then, if you don't pre-order, you don't get presets? What? THEN, apparently JST hit someone with a copyright strike because they didn't like the review? That's unsat, man. Hard pass on this.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Misha has a different playing style.. And the tones don't always sound great in the own to me, but in his mixes with him playing they do. A bit too "tight" for me and I can haz that interesting mid-range for my style I suppose.. I like a baseball batt with a few nails in it along with a cynderblock swinging on a steel chain... But if I played Misha style... But yeah.. I don't get along with his presets much. Sounds dope when he plays through em though.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

On a regular old pair of KRKs, the tone straight out of the box is really ear-fatiguing. It's the like the sound the Grindmachine plugin has built in, better resolution, but with really aggressive 5k.

[@rmp5s]

@Ben Kerley Funner fact: Having to pay extra for a convenient starting point is a dick move.

[@SyrupyBeard]

Non-fun fact: These aren't fun facts.

[@Henkorion]

WHAT? From where do you know that with the presets? I bought it today and cant find presets...

[@vivbacker5264]

Very good stuff and good vibes, like always! Keep up!!

[@Dampfwalzi]

[@ChrisStroud1]

Just don't say anything negative about it Ola, Joey might flag you

[@Orphen01]

He doesn't have to since Ola actually knows how to set a damn DI track.

[@ChrisStroud1]

still doesn't give him the right to flag it for non existent copyright infringement though

[@sacredxgeometry]

Who could ever talk smack about Ola?!

[@andrew74x]

I love you Ola!!!!!

[@RobertUpton69]

What is the name of that riff you are playing at 13:25? That was fuckin..... amazing! Please enlighten me!

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

Was wondering how you felt it compared to the Invective - at the last few seconds you included your thoughts on it, thank you! Going to purchase this with hopes that its somewhere in the ballpark to the tones in the Invective.

[@frankpaws]

Just a side bar. I've been liking the plugins more when I run into my Manley force DI. Its Valve tube on the way in. It just seems to shape the tone better overall rather than going in through a regular DI through the Apollo 8. There is the harmonic "smear" I like to call it. Granted a Manley isn't cheap, but it sounds less artificial and more realistic over just a DI and a SIM for my ears.

[@aghastinagharta]

0:20 - does this song have a title?

[@rainsweat]

Ola is crazy !

[@pedrosa1467]

Back to membership! Most interesting thing: You can sing!

[@dgarrr2]

Have you ever thought about doing an offset style Solar guitar? Like a Fender Jazzmaster?

[@gavinanderson4803]

Hey Ola, you're my favorite KZbin and a huge inspiration! What do you personally use for studio headphones? Or could you recommend some otter ones for playing guitar (7-string) and bass (5-string) with my HeadRush for extended periods of time?

[@srikaran1306]

Ola can we have a full playthrough of the song at 13:38?

[@lfox02]

He's probably just jamming. The beginning, however, sounded similar to Rob Scallon's Rain.

[@srikaran1306]

The song is called 'The Narcissist' and I've been after him for a really long time to make a full playthrough :P

[@intraVRt]

Crazy how many amp sims are coming out. Will tube/trans amps be a thing of the past? Maybe only used for stage aesthetics (kinda do now). Great to see guitarists creating tools for the trade.

[@robloyst4514]

Dude! What tuning do you use? Gonna pick up some new strings tomorrow. I gotta get that crunch!!!! Also. What impulse did you load? Where can I get it?

[@kivitelezo]

Clean Church and Lead... I died :D

[@ToTheSummitkicksass]

what's the riff at 13:28 ?

[@onlyether]

I honestly think the Ben Bruce TF JST is a lot better than Misha's. I feel like its much easier to control, and its much simpler. The tones are better and not as gainy. Misha's almost sounds like theres a constant screeching around the 5k range. That's just my opinion though

I am just getting back into playing again and need a little advise, not looking for just Ola to respond as any advise is appreciated. Should I get this toneforge plugin or amp bias pro and the metal pack? Or something else I reckon. I have the Fortin already and it is awesome, I just want some variety.

[@RezandaEkaNugroho]

Where i can download the preset of Ola in toneforge Misha manshoor?

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

Okay, I may get stoned for this, but I don't think this amp sim is very good. I've had it for about 3 months now, have tried tweaking just about everything, different guitars, even different DAWs. What am I doing wrong? I've watched so many videos and read reviews where people rave about this sim, so I keep going back to it, but DAMN if I cant get even close to a decent tone. Previously I bought the STL Will Putney and was really impressed, so I then was equally impressed with the Andy James and then Howard Benson stuff. Continued success with THU Overload, Fortin Nameless, and recently Waves PRS. I figured this JST stuff HAS to be amazing. My first hour with it, I was convinced something didn't load correctly. After countless sessions, tweaking, trying different gear altogether, I still am not even close. Not trying to exaggerate, every turn of that dial is just surprisingly bad tone. It cant be this bad, can it? What am I doing wrong here?

[@ratedrsuperstarthega]

Exactly the same problem with me. I just cannot get it to sound even usable. No matter what I do, it always sounds very very awful. Not sure what's going on. I have tried different interfaces, like RME Babyface Pro FS and Focusrite scarlet. Sounds equally bad on both of them. Maybe Windows has something to do with it? I tried it on a Windows 10 PC and a Windows 11 laptop. Both sounded equally bad to me. Although I must admit this plugin sounds very good when Ola is playing it. He is playing on a Mac. Does it have anything to do with it? I am curious to know, have you find any solution for this problem?

[@miskatonicuniversityavclub202]

are jst plugins compatible with any DAW? and also does it replace the preamp etc? i assume so but have had considerable trouble figuring that out.

[@gregg4164]

It sounds harsh too me. I'm a SS guy being a bass player and prefer class D amps for bass but even i must say this does not have the warm and feel of a tube amp. It has plenty of grind or bite that I like but not much heat or thump if you can figure out what i mean.

[@jacek.strzelczyk]

Finally! I was very curious about your opinion.

[@Metaljay696]

hey ola ever play a dean razorback ? if so what did you think of it.?/

[@bsadistik4421]

Hey Ola! Make a video showing how to get the Swedish Buzzsaw tone using amp sims, please!

[@JaredBathurst]

Sounds amazing. Ok... I’ll buy it. You inspired me to buy the Positive Grid bundle for $699.99 hopefully this isn’t that expensive.

[@frankpaws]

Can you do one on the Jason Richardson Toneforge. I got it and there are no presets or anything, and wasn't really happy with the sounds at all. BIAS FX kills it and everything else. Would be curious your thoughts.Im in Pro Tools Ultimate. Would also be great to be able to bipass the cab so you can use others. I know there is an IR loader, but with Two Notes wall of sound there are many more options when placing mic and speaker as well as being able to add to it.

[@MarkToast99]

If the plugin didn't create that "squish" sound behind high-gain riffs, it would be my absolute favorite.

[@reedb2789]

Lol, “which is ‘clean,’ ‘church’ and ‘lead’.” 😂😂😘
