SLUDGEFEST 2020 - Swedish Death Metal Pedal Test

[@OlaEnglund]

Sludge Friday! Have a good one!

[@mabecka]

Du med! FREEEDAAAG!!!

[@gorf101]

What are you downtuned to? Q?

[@F1Fanatic76]

Have a stellar weekend!

[@MikeBaars83]

Nice. Reminds me I must listen to ‘You’ll Never See...’ again. That sound man.

[@mxjay2936]

I was up all night making my own sludge, god damm McDonald's. 💩

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

The best way to fix a db meter that was dropped on the floor is to throw it up against the ceiling. That should balance it again as long as you catch it on the way down. Trust me, I'm an engineer

[@derekperry2142]

thanks I can't believe that worked

[@HearthVader]

Does this work for headstock breaks as well

[@zakkai]

@@HearthVader it works with everything

[@Groovegandalf]

Hearing Ola say "I'm going for that Matt Pike sound" are the words I've been waiting years to hear.

[@emmemmemm2360]

He can try but most modern metal players aren't capable of playing music like that.

[@NorgGrimm]

@@emmemmemm2360 He should've used a Solar with passive pickups and maybe some other cab than a Mesa 4x12.

[@emmemmemm2360]

@@NorgGrimm Not just passive pickups. Moderate output vintage voiced pickups. Modern high output pickups are no good.

[@Bartman61911]

@@emmemmemm2360 they just need to slow down a little bit. Needs to be more of a blues groove.

[@Tenitus_atl]

AND DOWN TUNE

[@r3ngokuking]

That feedback squeal is almost as iconic as the actual HM-2 tone

[@gordo970]

@Astute Cingulus you on the right video comment section my man?

[@soggyman3852]

Gordon C don’t make fun of him. He’s blind

[@williamcozart9166]

You damn Swedes and your too bassy/speaker farting death metal tones. Love it.

[@kyrefuh1855]

can we all just stop for moment and appreciate Ola's amazing humor and personality. dude is just so fucking awesome! Thank you Ola!!

[@ndzick718]

Coffee with Ola and Matt Pike would be amazing.

[@camdero3294]

I’ll bet the first thing they’d talk about is tony iommi, weed, or both

[@thotacon]

It would just be an hiur of Matt Pike trying to convince Ola about ancient mesopotamian civilizations underneath the earths crust. Make it happen!

[@D2ezbmu]

The beginning of the TC was straight Dismember style. Hell yeah. That’s def the band I think of when I hear the term Swedish Sludge lol

[@mattster693]

I have it! It's an awesome pedal, I think it's named after the song 'eyemaster' from the entombed album wolverine blues!

[@Dethcollectors]

This amount of gain puts a smile on my face and warms my heart, the feedback is the best!

[@matt926uk1]

I think you killed everything within a 100 mile radius with that last tone.

[@francescochissale]

"You might wonder why I am going with the Orange. Maybe I am going for a little bit more of like the 'High on Fire', Matt Pike type of sound today." If you don't hear buzzing from the head when it's turned off, unplugged, and in its case while in an anechoic chamber 100 km away from you.. Well, you're way far away from obtaining the result desired.

[@justinfigueroa5678]

.....maybe. lol

[@jedhood6986]

He would have to take his shirt off to really get the Matt Pike sound.

[@leeving1685]

Cheered me up, just back from Hospital so happy to watch a bit of Ola 🤘 When the boss pedal kicks in 😁

[@Yumaky]

Glad to see you’re still lee ving bro

[@AndyBergerW]

Get well soon my friend!

[@leeving1685]

@@Yumaky haha still here :-)

[@benjaminpran2894]

Your face as the amp gives feedback after engaging hm2 and the fuzz is so much more swedish death metal than anything else. So beauty. Much metal.

[@tatoo190]

I love hearing the room mic bc I feel that you get a much better sound for the depth of the tone rather than just the bite from the cab mic. Also, every Friday should be fun Friday. You deserve it, Ola!

[@VTuberDestrisOfficial]

Am I the only one that would love to see Ola use this tone on an album with the HM-2 and fuzz combined? I think that would be sick

[@expliteronboom3075]

Yea I wonder why he doesn't use this tone in his music?

[@VTuberDestrisOfficial]

@@expliteronboom3075 no clue, it would honestly work so well with his playing style

[@MaaZeus]

Same here. Ola is a fan of oldschool Death Metal but everything he writes is more in Pantera Groove metal side of things. I guess that is simply where his creative juices flow but I would also like to hear him write a really nasty sounding Swedish Death metal song, just to hear how it would sound like.

[@VTuberDestrisOfficial]

@@MaaZeus I've honestly been waiting for it since I heard him mess around with the HM-2 a couple years ago haha

[@CinKaiDRocks]

That Hm-2 is so damn awesome! Good for tremolo.. melody or chucking. Gives it all a great dirty bad ass edge wich I think is missing in most modern sounds.

[@mikedenkinger9570]

All hail the HM-2: The Swedish Chainsaw

[@kickassboardride]

Classis no nonsense über simple death metal done right: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2eod4hnpt-nick. The HM2 still sounds as effing mean as it did on Entombed's LHP. Enjoy!

[@twiff3rino28]

It's Japanese though.

[@owenmoody7125]

Matt Pike would appreciate this tone video. 🤘

[@sanjsurativideo]

That Eyemaster sounds beaut!!! Proper old school sludge 🍺🤘

[@guylikesguitar]

When I heard that feedback of the HM-2, I instantly smiled beyond both of my ears. I can totally understand Ola.

[@EliseOfTheValley]

Anything HM-2 related will have me hooked.

[@johnnyknowles6642]

Great things about this video; The Orange sounds great on its own. Liking the sounds of the different microphones. Ola mentions how the Eyemaster is satisfying, then proceeds to play an awesome as riff 🤘 That HM-2 squeal is legendary, and the tone is a personal favourite. The smile on Ola's face while playing the HM-2

[@RamrockMansJukebox]

The bass comes through so strong it almost feels like that HM-2 is in the room with me. Glorious.

[@RIVURSTIX666]

That feedback though! EHG/Jimmy Bower would be proud Ola!

[@cirjames2540]

10:11 is the sound of joy that we have all had when you find a great tone! Thank you Ola for starting the day off right \m/

[@Infinighost]

Just this week, I finally acquired my dream amp: an Orange Thunderverb 50. I have no idea how they get such a thick, low tone into a guitar amplifier. They are truly glorious.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

The lowest ambient growl of the HM-2 really is bliss. You had a very 'Surrounded by Theives' feelling 💜 #AllTubeAllTheTime

[@jm71681]

HM2 is freakin' preposterous like this. Complete eargasm.

[@donnythei]

Goddamn, the HM-2 is just so gnarly sounding

[@drabbitz2319]

That's it! Now I'll be playing Left-Hand Path in a loop for the next 5 days. Thanks!

[@marcomoscoso7402]

Every day is a good day for some Swedish death metal playing/listening

[@theblishknovk]

Im in love with that guitar. Absolute perfect execution of modern and classic blend.

[@bruiserbrawler8054]

Works for me. I've had an HM2 since the 90's and I LOVE the Eyemaster. I also love these videos. I don't actually use mine like most. I use mine, cranked up as always but I play what's now considered classic, blues based heavy rock. Ibanez RG7421 into the Eyemaster into a Twin. Sounds like a Marshall that's on fire... It's wonderful.

[@jacobcardiff8757]

5:40 am time to wake the neighbors with a video from ola

[@F1Fanatic76]

Jacob Cardiff Central time zone FTW

[@X.00896]

Totally having a blank about the name of that song - please refresh my memory!

[@MysticArchmage]

Nothing like the old school HM-2. Absolutely crushing.

[@dannycolin]

Ola: Stoner Metal Edition w/ the Fortin

[@BxCx666]

Boss sounds like a huge shovel that digging the grave. Really satisfying!

[@budgetgitarr5351]

That is a perfect interpretation of the sound.

[@OfficialAbyssRecords]

Eyemaster Pedal is great pedal & price too. Great seeing you demonstrate it here along with other two.

[@HaileyThiccc]

I love the tone at 5:30 just sounds so much like entombed and i love that

[@TidusfromZanarkand]

As a person that grew up with Entombed, Arch Enemy and Bloodbath, I 100% agree with you @ 5:24 . It is a shitty mess yes, but it's AMAZING, gives you some powerful and dark feeling that no other type of distortion brings on the table

[@georgioskaratsoris7350]

You have created some wonderful Scandinavian Black Metal sounds on this video!

[@calebmunkirs9661]

Your smile from that tone makes me smile. Also super sludge tones are super fun for lead kinda stuff for me

[@zenmaster1752]

The HM-2 is a legend. I bought one in the 80's and it still works very well.

[@blacksaltscotland]

That's the best hm2 sound Ola has ever done...

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

That guitar looks classy and heavy at the same time. That shape/finish combined with that headstock

[@lespaul9078]

I can't believe you mentioned Matt Pike, he's one of my favourite guitarists, I literally piss and shit myself simultaneously when you said that, it was totally unexpected

[@carlosjauregui564]

If you like this tone, bands like cursed earth, left behind, justice for the damned, might be worth looking up

[@plumbummusic2051]

A good sludge riffing is like a strong cup of coffee, the feedback brings your mind to this plane instantly

[@skillzwitpillz1259]

The first time I heard Left Hand Path I think I almost s*** my pants. Glad to see you have a place your heart for the '90s Swedish death metal scene.

[@wesryan5233]

Perfect timing Ola my fortin fuzz just came in today! You are the man

[@kivitelezo]

I just can't stop smileing when I hear an HM-2.

[@chrisforbis9572]

Ola awesome video, your channel is by far my favorite channel on KZbin.

[@napoleonsolo5929]

The Boss HM-2 was also put to great use by David Gilmour on 'About Face' and Pink Floyd's 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason'.

[@dj_devil_corpse]

Haiz, Ola/Eng! Zagryebisj show 10/10!

[@justinfigueroa5678]

Killer gear brother! I am peanut butter and jealous over that sic tone with the Terror!!!!!!

[@dinkins335]

Takes me back to that era of old school 90's Swedish death metal. Great times!

[@paulknowles6433]

That tone was perfect for entombed. When you cranked out damn deal done that sealed the deal!! That HM-2 is pure "Gothenburg" tone🤘

[@henkeH2]

5:37 DAMN DEAL DONE!! That riff on that pedal, holy moly, it’s just sublimly filthy and and wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sjaakvandervrande9414]

I love the Iconic sound of the Hm-2.

[@philfrank5601]

Oooh, I like the content title in the timeline bar!!! Awesome and easy to find what I want.

[@endlessgrind6951]

That is one badass looking guitar! I love the design with the reverse headstock premium for down tune-age very nice! 🤘😎🤘

[@EddyDarkNightmare]

Man this can be a staple of your channel..... Like a fun with Ola. IL love to see you having fun with insane shit like that 😁

[@ragemadness]

HELL YEAH!!! The Boss HM-2 sounds like my adolescence back in the 90's listening to Entombed. I mean, look at him!, he is smiling ear to ear!, he knows what i mean. :D

[@MetalMan1245]

The best time ever? Maybe not. Super fun to hear and definitely to play? Hell yes.

[@crowandravenstudios3735]

My god the feedback with the HM2 and fortin fuzz is so musical. Would love to hear a record recorded with that.

[@chrisgp3566]

Eyemaster sound like dismember tone. Even today is awesome to hear. Grettings from Chile, good one as usual! 🤘🤘

[@Payduro]

Matt Pike’s tone really hits different. So fuckin glad Ola acknowledged it!!

[@drewharrito5705]

The only videos I click like on before they even start.... You da man OLLLLLLLLLA.

[@mabecka]

Eyemaster is just brilliant! I'm getting one!

[@paulpartington6276]

Sounds just as good as any sludge band I've heard. Very catchy and groovy.

[@nickmetal131]

Oh, fuck yeah! I have all three of those pedals. I use the Fortin Fuzz as a thick, nasty boost for my Marshall JCM 900 SL-X.

[@Dactylgodhand]

The Boss pedal sounded like Entombed: Wolverine Blues!!

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

It should - that's what they used on that recording.

[@darthnigus]

Great album

[@indifferentuniverse3991]

Texas on his shirt, Orange amp, mention of Matt Pike?!!! Maybe the best Ola video ever!!!!!!

[@Mark-OutWest]

Another beautiful Solar guitar. Happy Friday everyone!

[@Ochatach]

OHHHH YUUURRRRRR, HM-2 for the win

[@baldyhead]

For me, an HM-2 into an overdriven amp is the sound of paradise! That's why I have so many of them and clones of them.

[@jaykay0401]

Love when you make videos that you enjoy just for fun!

[@decisionheight]

That Orange screams for some Crowbar by Ola Englund 🤘

[@jacksybicki7330]

i dig the sludge ola, i just hot wired my 1987 peavey studio pro 65 watts directly to my 4x12 and holy shit it sounds amazing with overdrive ,metalzone, and hotone skyline djent pedals

[@ricethrupower]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you Ola!

[@reapx2031]

Ola, thank you for the video, at the end I fell asleep for a good hour, a well needed nap, the music really relaxes my body to help sleep

[@S133S]

Eyemaster sound is a bliss, sounds exactly like Wolverine Album, love it!

[@janneranta7373]

Beautiful guitar + that pedal... can't go wrong.

[@lemac3200]

ENTOMBED! Very cool sound. Takes me back to 1995. Great time to be alive as a metal head.

[@andersthorstensson4347]

Man, the Damn Deal Done verse is heavy as fuck! Love it!

[@wesryan5233]

10:12 the noise a genuine guitarist makes when he is excited about tone. Or when I see chicken nuggies

[@qwaazig1631]

The decibel meter knew it couldn't handle this test. It committed seppeku to maintain it's honour.

[@MetalJody1990]

That HM-2 puts a huge smile on my face. Just hearing it gets me fired up and makes me wanna do some sludging as well. Too bad I have nothing that sounds close to the HM-2. All I have is a Metal Zone, lmao. Great to see you having fun, Ola. You've improved my Friday.

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

put a hm2 clone in front of that metalzone and you're halfway to At The Gates

[@MetalJody1990]

I now have something in Guitar Rig that sounds somewhat similar to an HM2. Made a cover with the sound recently.

[@MetalBeastShred]

That single cut Solar is my guilty pleasure.

[@FUXCOOLog]

Best video in a while, thank you!

[@carwynvan]

Loved the Fortin Fuzz going into the already cranked orange. Sounded massively over compressed, blown up and huuuuge!

[@8791kcin]

Yes it did put a smile on my face. Thanks

[@jonathanweiss6313]

Cool! Nice guitar dude and you jamming too nice riffs checking the pedals! I think both sound great as the different microphone sounds picked up! As noted old school headbanger 80`s DOD pedals rock! Sick sounds out of the pedals so cool! Made me smile next generation of guitarist its Swedish Death Medal sound for sure! Clean to both pedal's feedback awesome! That's right headbanging! Good review! Thanks for sharing! Jonathan

[@ack9049]

The stereo room mic sounds like a toilet bowl with reverb and gain. Awesome!!!🤘🤘🤘🇸🇪

[@megatodd707]

Hi Ola. Your channel is real cool. Thanks for the great content. This metal head in Arizona is a big fan. Stay safe.

[@justinkelly3222]

All the way from Adelaide, South Australia. Ola you the man. I fucking love your vids and demos. You would have to produce some of the best gear demos ever. Keep up the brutal slaying brother 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@JohnJones-ep7of]

The second pedal and the riffs you played were a little reminiscent of the Dimebag.Love it.

[@aleckseyazovsky3270]

finaly someone shows chains of distorsion pedals.

[@JosephCee]

Swedish Death Metal is definitely your thing, Ola, you should stick to that more. 🤘🏼

[@jeffleecust]

I love when people dismiss and talk shit about tone like that.... I know from then on out to not take them seriously anymore. Nice shit Ola.

[@jordanmayer5932]

So happy to see the fortin fuzz featured! Love blending it with my orange dark terror' third channel! Sounds fucking crazy
