KSR ORION 45 - Metal

[@AlenMecan]

Everything from KSR is just so different... Nice to see Ola trying to wing it and being lost LOL. KSR amps are so different, yet the (super short and brief) manual explains it really, really well but you have to try it to understand what is really intended for the device to do. The best advice for anyone would be to get the small Ceres preamp and connect it to an 6L6 power amp and a favorite cab or maybe a cab emulator. At first there is just so much gain and you really need to learn what to listen for. I think the best device to get from KSR to start is the Eros pedal. It will change the gear you have into anything you need it to be. Actually, buying an Orion or a Titan is insanely expensive if you live in Europe. EROS boost pedal+CERES preamp+PA50 power amp however is probably the best amp you can get anywhere for any money with such surgical shaping options.

[@ThallFather]

Got a KSR Ares 50 the other day. Finally used it with the band today. Absolutely mind blown how good it sounds. Can't believe this company was never on my radar.

[@loudguitarist]

All three channels sound the same AMAZING.

[@SHARt_murmur]

Snagged one of their vertical 2x12’s and was blown away by its quality and their customer service. Great seeing them get some love here too.

[@lestatt6996]

How great is it to be Ola, making guitars, interviewing guitar legends and trying out cool stuff to chug, love you Ola 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@TedintheShed]

The thing about Kyles amps are that you can get ANY tone you want. He's an amp genius like no other!

[@peppesgabello]

aside from clean LOL

[@TedintheShed]

@alessandrofidanza nope. You can get pristine cleans as well.

[@OkayyyIGetIt]

@@TedintheShed nope.

[@GabeHelma]

Fack cleans 😂

[@JasonsDigitalStuff]

@@OkayyyIGetIt I can't speak on the Orion, but I have a KSR Orthos 2 and it has a completely fine and independent clean channel. Covers all bases.

[@moonelfcosmo]

This is one of the best amps I’ve heard on your channel. I bought a custom Vesta from them and Kyle was awesome to work with. He contacted me personally when I had even a very minor issue, which turned out to be user error and not an issue at all. Great company!

[@nj1255]

That thing sounds vicious! Like a blend between a 5150 and Dual Rec.

[@FourT6and22]

That's pretty much what all of the KSR amps are. Heavily based on the SLO/5150/Rectifier family of circuits. I had a Gemini and Ares for a while and they're dope.

[@Swodie_Jeetin]

So somewhere between a modded SLO and another modded SLO. Got it.

[@no.mids.brando]

@@FourT6and22 why’d you get rid of those 2? and what did you replace them with? currently on the fence

[@FourT6and22]

@@no.mids.brando I build my own amps now. KSR makes good stuff though.

[@realtruenorth]

​@@Swodie_Jeetin or between a modded Marshall and another modded Marshall. Or Fender baseman,, same..

[@mducrocq68]

That's an amazing sounding amplifier...the best so far for ME

[@gral9440]

Kyle is the man. He makes awesome amps and pedals. The jumper change he logo’s light color. I have a Orthos II 100W and I purchase last month a PA50+Ceres bundle and that’s a killer rig

[@Xantophia]

Dear Ola! My Solar 1.6 pb etc just arrived, and is a kickass shredmachine!!! Two hours since i tuned up the axe and i triggered my neighbours!!! Thank you for your work, for your passion. Hope to meet you somewhere!

[@bethesdafalcoyamaoka5483]

Love the Forever Old jam at the end!

[@PRLXS84]

Was waiting for this!!! Thanks Ola

[@VinceMusicianG]

The gold hardware on the red guitars is just so damn good! I would choose neither alone but together is another story.

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

I like how You played Lords Resistance Army! 🤘🤘

[@OscarSalasOfficial]

Hola Ola! To this day, which is your favorite amp head for metal? There are so many options and I would like to know your personal preference. Thank you!

[@stevengoodman3498]

Thanks Ola for the demo of this sweet amp! Take care brother.😊

[@PeterMoore350]

Jeez Ola, that amp sounded good as soon as you started playing before you even messed around with it. Can't wait to get some $$$ coming in again so i can 1) buy more Solar guitars and 2) checkout this amp. cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

[@gravelrocks5588]

You missed the NFB knob which is huge has to do with the feel negative feedback knob

[@lesterksi4521]

Wooooo...the number of knobs and switches!

[@MiroslawBlazek-Gdansk]

It's honestly one of the best distortion sounds one can hear anywhere. I guess now it's time for manufacturers of (moderately priced) digital modelers to catch up with it.

[@Joey_Tatts_Palmer]

KSR Amps are fantastic, I love my Orthos2!

[@MobileDecay]

One time Ola told me I was an idiot. I will forever cherish that moment. 🥰 Nice amp btw. 🙂

[@yousocrazy1199]

I told Ola on live chats that want to be like him when i grow up, Ola was so disappointed and said i dont know what to say hahaha

[@JustinEthnostate]

switchable loop channel assignment is sick

[@bjornjohannsson2607]

Love KSR.

[@visualdarkness]

That is a great looking amp! Very industrial design.

[@thelonegunmanRJM]

This amp is a beast!

[@kevynmetal]

Love my Orion

[@protest9093]

$1,799, Made in USA, 4 channels, ~50 watts, 28 pounds Also the NFB knob all the way down is the loosest setting

[@FourT6and22]

Yeah not focusing on the NFB control was a let down in this video. NFB is a powerful tone-shaping tool and changes the feel/timbre of an amp a lot. Wish he had played a bit at various settings.

[@JonOden]

Been eyeing this amp since launch.. getting some popcorn...

[@sepiarain]

Can basically feel this amp warm up here. Nice.

[@zacharyzane1638]

That's for the KSR review. And playing on a Solar guitar that shows sold out everytime i check. I would like to see a T model FR Solar pink no pickgaurd and gold or black hardware!

[@telecasteroil]

KSR top of the line ,wattage, great live, I’ll bet . Good Ola.

[@thelowlifex9437]

Looks like a tool box ,love the design

[@christopheranderson2158]

YES!! Less gain = a tighter sound. THAT is proper amp design! 👍

[@Leychen]

This is actually an interesting amp. Sounds nice in this demo, has a lot of features and a fair price. I'd like to try one but they seem relatively rare in central EU.

[@masklessfaceless0820]

Killing some riffs

[@SuperCMO79]

Took that lunchbox straight to church..Dang son. 🤘🤘

[@K707OR30]

Sounds killer. While I wouldn’t worry about this as much with a KSR amp, I do have a little bit of concern about the servicability and reliability. Generally when you cram that many channels and switches into that small a package, they’re a service nightmare for techs which means more money you have to spend to get it troubleshot/serviced just due to time involved. Mesa mark series being among the worst for that. But again with it being KSR I expect it is built a lot better than a mesa. Cool amp.

[@heathencraftfx9680]

@@K707OR30 it's actually extremely easy to service Kyle definitely keeps it in mind when designing stuff

[@minus9us677]

sounds like my carvin legacy 3 head after doing the brite cap mod to the master volume pot! lol. and the 808 into it makes it so close!!!

[@fredrikcalonne499]

this one sounds awesome!

[@mattloughran9817]

[@Gary-xm6gc]

I'm digging it.

[@jeromepeters9842]

That sounds killer

[@RandyFricke]

Goddamn! That sounds good. Looks nice too. I have three Joyo banTamPs that I have mounted right on the pedal boards. I love 'em. Ya gotta crank them a bit because as is common with tube amps they sound fizzy at low volume. I might have to look into this.

[@sergiovillasante364]

10:14 brutal riff...!! 🤟🏼

[@rendyandrian7149]

Very cool sounding amp.

[@GsxsRixx]

Thank you for this Chanel.

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

KSR amps generally get way too little attention. Played a couple of their amps and they sounded fantastic. Wish they were more readily available in Europe.

[@girs666]

YEP! Have the CERES, PA50 and EROS, and HOPE the amp available in france or germany in current shops

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@GOICOBA Amen brother! 😆

[@realtruenorth]

KSR is one of the best.

[@gral9440]

They are available in Europe. I ordered my Orhos II 100W from Guitar Candy Shop in Belgium. 3 months wait but that’s normal for a custom shop amp

[@gral9440]

And I ordered my Ceres and PA 50 directly from Kyle after chatting with him on Insta. I took advantage of a discount on the KSR website which, with the exchange rate in favor of the Euro, allowed me to make up for the cost of delivery and some of the import taxes.

Ola! I hope you will do a 'Will It Chug?' episode for Laney Leadtop and Laney Dualtop! I'm sure it chugs, but of course, we need to hear it from the legend Ola himself!

I enjoy listening to you playing everytime, even if you were playing a pita with choco. But this one should be available in the '80's imo 🙂

Actually, 60w. It packs two 6L6GC and each one generates 30w of power.
