RIG OF THE WEEK - Schecter Keith Merrow & Peavey 5150

[@KeithMerrow]

Perfect combo. I designed and prototyped that guitar (and pickups) through a very similar setup. Can't go wrong with a 5150 sig. I use a boost with mine, but it doesn't really need it.

[@toemasmeems]

I love you both

[@recipoldinasty]

Hey bro did you sell your brj “retro” 6??? I was so interested in it!

[@Joekickass6661]

I bought the KM-7 MK-III and its easily the most amazing guitar I've played. Thanks for making a sick guitar Keith Merrow. - From a fellow Keith

[@toemasmeems]

@@Joekickass6661 hey Keith did you get the standard or artist? I am making moves to get a standard and I was wondering if you felt it was worth it? I have Sterling jp70 and it’s pretty good the neck is not my favorite and the basswood is meh for a 7 string

[@niccareymusic3910]

I just bought one not too long ago and it is the most resonant guitar I have ever owned.

[@OlaEnglund]

Been holding off on this video for a while! Hope you enjoy it! ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH!

[@timjenkins502]

Awesome!!!

[@masheen_]

I've been loving my KM FR-S. After your Tremmory video I'm sold on that as well.

[@sinisterfame622]

Well done.

[@GayanDanthanarayana]

@Ola how is the fret work? Is it like Ibanez Prestige level good, or what?

[@CraveDiamonds]

I always enjoy anything from you 🤘😁

[@kikarias79]

1:11 “There it is!” 0.006 seconds after: GONE.

[@WildWildWeasel]

*Ola Englund plays a different guiitar* ... *Still sounds like Ola Englund* ... *Plays Pillars of Creation in Ola*

[@PariahVSGear]

Pillars of creation is EASILY one of the best 7 string riffs ever written.

[@rtomas47]

Totally

[@Gothguitarist]

Hey the same comment on every video with something about Keith morrow lol

[@WildWildWeasel]

Agreed my man, agreed. Remember the seymour duncan pickup shootout Keith did? "The Nyan Cat of riffs" according to him x'D

[@Mindartcreativity]

Check out Within the Ruins, they basically have these riffs except on 8 strings and more djent ;)

[@mattisixx1699]

Keith is the only one who actually makes a 7 string sound good. Got one because of him and.... I fucking hate it. I did learn pillars of creation though

[@otccreations]

Schecter makes one hell of a guitar. Even their low end models are spectacular!

[@Khae.]

Ooooh that split humbucker sound sounded REALLY good!

[@TobyKBTY]

That nod to Pillars of Creation. Brought me back to the days you and Keith would collab all the time. Damn, those were the videos that helped get me through college (but didn't help my GAS)

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Try some Beano.

[@Theenragedone]

Ola brought in the Evergrey love at 4:04 with " More Than Ever." That is such a great riff to put in this demo.

[@scottyriffpad5737]

Agreed! Was playing it the other day for the first time in years lol

[@rikh78]

ah the old Seymour Duncan pickup tester riff, still badass.

[@dankwartmustang531]

i didn't even wanteda seymour duncan pickup, i just loved the riffs man

[@timotejpoznic3825]

Wow, I never doubted his playing but damn... He is such a killer player.

[@justincarrasco3680]

5:20 maaaan that classic 5150 interference. I used to hear voices from the local radio stations come out of my amp sometimes. It was freaky.

[@madhatter797]

I'd shit myself if that happened to me

[@jason11286]

My 6505 did that when I first got it while plugging in a cable to the fx loop and I about shit myself

[@paulkline3011]

Haha!! I plugged in my 5150 for the first time in probably 4 years and a radio station was playing through it. My wife thought I turned on a radio. 🤣

[@GearGasms]

I had a PA that would do that.

[@costa7087]

maaan it hs happened once to me but with a fender frontman 10g, that's creepy as hell

[@woodward_alan]

I like this series because it introduces us to gear that I'm not familiar with or wouldnt think of searching for outside your channel. Thanks for the content.

[@uzibagasino2889]

when you're playing the guitar it made me feel like im watching the young years of your vids.

[@seventhsealhere]

Killer sound. The 5150 is still the classic chugger! One of (if not THE) best sounds in Ola’s arsenal - a 5150 and a Mesa cab! You’re playing is on tap today! 👍

[@Speedgovernor]

Shit! I pushed almost a tear when you just went away with that guitar. It's always heartwarming moment to see in guitar playing when you are just so fucking stunned about the guitar. It feels perfect and you can play anything you want

[@AlefSousa017]

3:14 YES! I was just waiting for that Pillars of Creation riff to show up in here!

[@sheharyarkhan2384]

The choice of songs for the riffage was exquisite. Solid 6/10 👏

[@axeslinger]

I gotta say this is one of the best riffage combinations you have EVER put together for a review. WOW! Great playing Ola. That axe sounds killer too! Really good review Ola. Cheers!

[@NickHillMakesMusic]

My guitar hero worlds collide. Love how articulate the arpeggiated chords sound. Such bite.

[@eydan9606]

Nice video brother,. Great sound the riff so agresive and beautiful guitarr. Congratulations OLA Englund

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Awesome guitar.... Even more bad ass is the amp and cab your using!...love your channel Ola!

[@DustinAlford]

The 5150 and the oversized mesa cab are definitely a brutal combination.

[@StefanosAndritsios]

This is a hell of a tone !!! You fucking rock Ola \m/

[@mrfing479]

Yeah this tone is fantastic

[@BenjaminCaris]

Ola playing the main riff of Pillars of Creation made my monday

[@Malarky49]

Ask John Browne and Mayones to borrow a Duvell do a rig of the week with it! Play it through a Driftwood Purple Nightmare!

[@TaylorDanley]

What a Rig! Keith has made some really cool guitars with Schecter, but the KMIII takes the cake, it's a beauty!

[@DustinAlford]

I like how thin and sleek this guitar looks.

[@trumancarter1299]

Just bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and it really is fantastic..phenomenal craftsmanship..your video here really helped me decide to pull the trigger on this one..thank you!

[@johnnyresin]

My wife just got me a set of these pickups for my birthday and now after watching this I'm even more stoked about them! 💚

[@AppaStappa]

My personal opinion is that the KM signature pick ups are the best sounding for low tuning the clarity is insane.

[@replicantc.3708]

Dude the second voicing is unique and sounds amazing with whatever setting you throw at It swear.

[@david.avalanches]

Wow those pickups must be very hot to sound so good without a boost ! But yeah, just this guitar into this 5150 is really impressive, attack / definition !

[@rhmm96]

wow, a bunch of amazing riffs in this one video

[@toodamnsweetpodcast7491]

I fucking love your channel and the Rig of the Week. Thanks Ola

[@yourbore]

I have to buy one now. I love the green finish and it sounds amazing. Thank you for an awesome review!

[@blackie75]

That's some fuckin' nice playing on this vid Ola. Props!

[@arkenigma1684]

So excited for this vid!!! I needed a towel after you played Pillars. Good shit man!

[@Erock09291]

Love that riff at 3:14! It's from one of Keith's Seymour Duncan pickup shootouts.

[@TheShinyShow]

It's from Merrows song Pillars of Creation

[@MrFreezeMusic]

It's a complete song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooSzaKl7q8ZrftE

[@teepressifer]

love the fast picking sound on that guitar

[@msi1985]

I'm getting this in blue crimson... I'm freaking excited!

[@vincentrandles8105]

Happy Ola is good! I think you were all the way there in this video! Great "Rig of the week!!" Tack, Ola!

[@nickplentzas5750]

swapped the pick ups for open core moderns now it’s my favorite guitar to play.

[@Kitket331]

5:20 you can hear another feature of this guitar - raging demons that was catched and imprisoned inside the instrument.

[@tjlazergaming4012]

Thanks Ola you got me back into playing.. just picked up a cheap 7 string threw some black winters into it and I'm having a blast. Thank you for the inspiration

[@SmashAtoms]

I’ve got one of the lower end KM-MKIIIs, and it plays like a dream. Saving up to get this one next. Cheers, Ola! Cheers, Keith!

[@andy_stinson]

Even with everything at noon and no boost it's still SUPPER tight and chunky! Haven't tried a Peavey 5150 yet, but I've tried the 6505+, and the EVH 5150 III (6L6 and EL34). The EVH EL34 was my favorite. I really wanna try one of the old 5150's!!

[@ribasmail]

Massive review... Insane guitar...love the sound of the pickups with the 5150...and...You blew out the scale with your riffs this time!! Hell yeah!! 🤟🤟🤟

[@drill2.087]

What I love about this guitar is his incredible thin that neck is. It’s really nice

[@sampower370]

It would be very great if you can talk a little bit about the specific gear. I would love to hear about the pros and cons of the 5150. Your content is absolutely amazing though!

[@kaendrums6126]

Love your "I'm gonna fxcking copy this shit!" face.

[@shubhambhosale7043]

After 3 days of looking at this guitar, this became my dream guitar... ❤️ Can’t afford it right now, but one day... 😖🙏👍

[@Dnlprg]

Pillars of creation for riff of the week!! Woooo

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Fucking MERROW!! Keith is a legend. This was awesome.

[@SERGIOALBARBIERI]

Heyyy Ola!! Great video, what a tone!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻... For the next ROTW, please try the Precision Drive boosting an EVH 5150 lll with the Fortin 4x12... This will be a siiiiiick rig!!! Cheers!!

[@jparkerriffs]

Keith is awesome, cool of you Ola! Keep up the good work mate!

[@mikelove8069]

Daaaaamn that sounds absolutely amazing especially with headphones

[@Mezzier]

Really like the Rig of the week, I hope you keep doing them.

[@BrandonBames]

It's so nice, I just wish it wasn't so bro-y looking. Schecter! Make me one in neon orange!

[@jasoncrump1886]

Man I love them km6 schecter guitars. Them pups too. Sounds really good in your hands Ola . Cant wait to get me a Solar with some fishman pickups.

[@DeathProof132]

I haven't played that model but I'm really happy with my Schecter, they put out some pretty solid guitars

[@xapojanx]

A longtime Pillars Of Creation ring my cellphone i loved intro.Keith Merrow good musician i miss old videos.

[@ExoticFauna]

have the KMII-7 with the SD Alpha Omega set he did with Mark Holcomb ... been wondering about these Fluence ...

[@AngbandMetal]

Rig of the Week is becoming my favorite in this channel \m/ thanks OLA

[@tommyfriedrich1473]

The strange noises are probably the NSA. XD

[@bedrockhead]

I will watch any video Ola makes with Peavey gear, especially the 5150.....but damn that guitar sounds beautifully sickening. I also really liked the "split" sounding mode. Very organic and grinding at the same time. Ola, RotW anything Peavey! And how about something from the all new BC Rich lineup!

[@popularpinguin3404]

Love the sound !!! Probably my dream rig. (and love this ROTW format btw)

[@jacobseal]

I am not really a metal guy, but I love watching Ola's videos. This guitar and amp sound great together. I would be interested to try this guitar. I played the Mk2 unplugged in a shop and the neck kind of blew me away. It is so much easier to play than my Gibsons.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Oh man. when you started playing A7X. that really took me back to my youth. I felt that to my soul! Im gonna have to find the album i have buried somewhere.

[@victorstriga]

3:14 what song is Ola playing here O.o? if it is a song, not just him unleashing the power edit: nvm, it's Keith Merrow - Pillars of Creation

[@WildWildWeasel]

POlars of Burp xD

[@seqta5705]

Fucking love that song!

[@pedrovandrade]

Jack Stoutburn bruh i’m dying lol

[@ontherocks1026]

Bust out the Tremoverb on rig of the week sometime ! Awesome series ! One of my favorite segments on KZbin

[@OyvindBjorgo]

I really enjoyed the sound of the split humbucker with heavy distortion. It could be a pretty good way to create sonic differences between riffs. I might have to look into putting some of Keith's fluences on one of my guitars once I get the money. Also, May the 4th be with you.

[@SHARt_murmur]

Should’ve mentioned his current band, Nightmarer is dope!

[@jaredt3985]

Jacob Shar Yes! Nightmarer is unreal man, the sounds they come up with are crazy, literally sounds like nightmares lol.

[@TheHungryShredder1]

fully agree, Pillars of creation is awesome!

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

I want that guitar so bad. I'm so mad that I didnt know about Keith Merrow and his sig guitar when I bought my schecter last year. I would have picked one up. Keith is the man. I wish i would of known about him yeard ago. Bit im happy I know now.

[@yohanonshine4664]

Ola I could tell you like that guitar lol nice to hear that chug gotta go try out my new pedals. Hotone djent and grass.

[@supafrogg258]

That Schecter KM6 Mark III into the Peavey 5150 produces a niice, tough, Metal tone!

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Ola playing cool riffage - FAQ YOU planning on writing and recording a song with the custom shop Stratocaster?

[@gilbertspader7974]

George W. Morrow III Love the video where he bought it !!!

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Gilbert Spader yes it was a cool vid

[@OdrasUdec]

SICK SOUND... good stuff here

[@jordiumethar4963]

A beautiful guitar I really like the reference points on the neck (they seem original to me) not the cliches already known to all 🤘👍. Great sound

[@jamesyellow3786]

I see a Conquering Dystopia T-Shirt ...hope he plays something off of that album 😁

[@toolshed7652]

This guitar and the Solar 1.7 are on my must have list

[@powersv2]

I am super happy that that guitar design didn’t die at Berney Rico Junior and lived on at Schecter.

[@MaestroJericho]

The new white one looks obviously inspired lol.

[@jgmopar]

I like the output jack in that spot. puts the cable out of the way.

[@jasontrujillo2859]

I just picked up a 5150 and love it now need a solar guitar

[@TheJamiro7]

Awesome video Thx !!! Keith`s Favorite combo. By the way what happened to Keith Merrow KZbin Channel, its closed for few days... Plz make an answer, your the only dude that Keith will answered to... love u Ola thx

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

One of the best sounding rig of the week imo

[@FideldeDavila]

Buena muestra de la guitarra con un gran amplificador y gabinete, buenos riffs, saludos!!

[@nologantogive]

Full on fan mode today!! Do the Armored Sabot 50w next!!

[@TheRogueRhino]

Big KM fan! Beautiful guitar. Really want now

[@waynewilliams8815]

I love a sleek neck through guitar, and this one looks super cool. Good review.

[@scottfaudree7201]

Sweet guitar. Watching from Eugene Oregon. We dig Ola.

[@BrandonBames]

....Time for a breather let it all sink in EVERGREY!!

[@Bl00dyXIII]

I love that kind of details on a construction... the solar s1.6 BLB have also utra thin neck?

[@gorf101]

That guitar is awesome! I love the Fishman pickups

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

I love and appreciate how Ola still sticks with the BOSS NS-2 which definitely gets a lot of smack. No disrespect to the ISP or the Fortin, if you are going to use them as a straight up "plug in and play" gate, then they are definitely a better option than the NS-2. The NS-2 however can be used in front of the amp and in the effects loop simultaneously which is where it REALLY shines. It also takes some time to dial the pedal in.

[@christianolmeda]

I don't know why those pickups did not sound great to me on my Ibanez RGD, but they sound absolutely killer there. But it is my favorite amp and that guitar is awesome. Might try em again. Thanks for checking out his guitar, been curious about it.

[@nickplentzas5750]

I have this guitar and I can confirm they’re not great in my opinion either I swapped them out for open core Moderns and much more happy with them. This sig set sounded muddy in the lows and shrilly thin in the highs. It was very frustrating

[@OscarWithC]

Love the playing in this video!

[@bettoandrade1044]

Heey Ola, did you tried any sterling guitar? I think the john petrucci versions are pretty good, should be good if we have your opinion about that.. please say hello to Brazilians guitar players 🤘🤘

[@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002]

Fucking love the rigs my boy, never had the chance to play a ton of amps in my life especially tube amps,

[@NecroPulseOffice]

Hey Ola I have a request. Do a review of the new Ibanez iron label RGIXL7. Everyone busy with the new gears. This model is new too but no one reviews it Because of the classic look 😕.

[@bohdankhmelnytsky9369]

I gotta a great rig you can try. Its an Ibanez gio hss into a peavey valveking 100w. 😎

[@ayeapprove]

He would still smash it

[@bohdankhmelnytsky9369]

@@ayeapprove oh yeah, it has a surprising amount of gain. He would do it justice :)
