THE HAUNTED IN THE STUDIO - TESTING AMPLIFIERS

[@TheMathPipe]

See this is why bands should do more videos like these, this is an awesome behind the scenes look. I love the fact you and Jensen are using their own sound on each side 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@iseeu-fp9po]

That gives for a wider stereo image, right?

[@colinparks619]

What did we learn ....that the cab you choose governs a massive part of your tone shaping! Krank sounds great, super dry and tight

[@Chrome262]

the majority are Saldano based by you are right, he needs to find the right cab then go from there

[@StormtrooperCylon]

Big time mate. I have had the privilege of using a switch box to hear my Marshall TSL100 is 4 different cabs and my mind was blown away

[@franciscopimenta9089]

The sound wave from the amp makes me reborn. That’s why a heavy metal concert has no parallel. When the distorted guitar sound and the drum sound hits you in the chest…you just get crazy! 🤘

[@12breacher82]

Absolutely sick studio collection. I don’t think I’d ever leave that room. There isn’t a bad choice! Agreed, the SLO is insane. For the choices made I’d blend the Savage and XXX. Interested to see what you guys come up with!

[@burtsgurt]

My preference would be the Peavey XXX on the crunch channel with a boost! Tight and punchy!!

[@EclipseAtDusk]

A boosted Peavey Crunch sound *really* is just magical The 5150 Red Channel sound gets all the glory, and rightfully so - but there’s just a CHONK to the Peavey Crunch sound that really is its own unique thing! Hell, the 5150’s got it too, just on the blue channel,

[@MetalheadOv666]

Miss my Peavey 3120 and always used the crunch with a KSR Hera boosting it. One of the best tones ever!

[@captainflamson]

James Brown was asked, of all the amps he has designed, if he has a favorite...he said "without a doubt, the Triple XXX". It was always a fave if mine so I love seeing it stand proud amongst all these $3-4k amps!

[@tonehammer7276]

The Soldano kills just everything. SICK :)

[@StormtrooperCylon]

@@tonehammer7276 As a Marshall user, in this video, 💯 agree. Makes me wanna try an SLO100

[@arsenblackwell]

That XXX sounds awesome!

[@mattcunningham6]

🎸🤘🔥

[@SwallowsTheSun]

The triple XXX is the poor man's rectifier and just sounds so good. The matching cab they designed unfortunately sounded like dogpoop

[@untoldguitarist]

​@@SwallowsTheSun yet a Peavey XXX head sounds nothing like a Rectifier at all. I own a Rev G Triple rectifier and a XXX head.

[@vanespedals1023]

@@untoldguitaristI also have both but they have a different freq focus: the xxx has more upper mids as the triple rec has more low mids in their tonestacks

[@untoldguitarist]

@vanespedals1023 I agree with that. To take out a lot of the upper mids and smooth out the tone, I like running 6L6'S in the XXX and JSX heads

[@mmiller6873]

Was looking forward to this Ola. Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes of the upcoming banger for The Haunted. Can't wait to get my hands on the new album.

[@Rattlehead522]

that peavey XXX was MAD

[@nikolatomic5287]

pink strap is most important part of your sound! support from serbia!

[@woodward_alan]

Peavey XXX! Cannot wait for this alb

[@TheInfern0s]

Awesome!! Please post more studio content!

[@Old.Monkey.Bones.]

Thank you, that was incredibly cool to get to listen to all those amps like that. The studio looks amazing, I would like to move in & live in it.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

2C+ is my favorite American amp, but Krank seems like the perfect choice if you ask me! Both a nod to Dimebag as I'd expect from Ola and also a nod to Swedish bands from the 2000s who used Krank amps, plus it just sounds so kickass :) the XXX is also a nice one!

[@Irishtwinbeads282]

Peavey Triple X!!!!!

[@tbirdpunk]

This amp deserves more love.

[@sinnerssix5954]

I love this kind of video and I love this old schoold approach for this album with one sound for one guitarist, Triple X is a insane amp, can you release more studio video like this Ola pls? 🙏

[@ericwg73]

Thanks for the inside video dude. Have no idea what it sounded like in the studio and judging tone via a cell phone recording is admittedly silly, but that Peavey XXX immediately stood out over the others. Surprised I’m saying that but it’s true.

[@ohadlevy7607]

Great sounding amps there! I liked the Krankenstein a lot! And yet: the best part of the video for me was 15:16 😉

[@Getcha333]

Thank you, that was incredibly cool to get to listen to all those amps like that. The studio looks amazing, I would like to move in & live in it. glasses-purple-yellow-diamond! (:

[@taftoc7288]

Always loved the triple X, so crunchy. Played with a guy who had one, sounded amazing.

[@DudeSmokedd]

back to savage!!!! You seem more natural on it. And the 5150 for sure

[@bluesful]

That XXX sounded fantastic.

[@denniskielton2447]

I gotta say, normally I'm really no tin to the video game-like stuff in songs, but Game Over is honestly really well done and an awesome intro, it lines up perfectly, and doesn't sound cliche. Hilarious video too, and I normally don't like animated stuff either. Sick stuff

[@TrumpetsInMy4x12]

Krank and the XXX seem like good underdog choices \m/ I

[@nickjones5728]

Just can’t beat the EVH stealth! Savage a close second.

[@Headsic]

Grymt att Studio Bohus är back in business👌

[@WhitecloudAudio]

The feeling 100% contributes to the end result. Great video thanks Ola.

[@allsinsundone]

Paradise right here!

[@tylermrhandon]

Gotta say, the black one sounded beyond killer, might be the best thing I’ve ever herd. Go with that one

[@nickalderman5943]

the mk2 into the krank for rhythm and the savage for lead would sound so good. Might not work for this album, but it's worth trying out.

[@williamfoster1034]

I am so jealous. Talk about a kid in a candy store….I’d spend days working through that mountain of amps. Rock on 🎸.

[@martinedelfeldt7024]

Gjorde en skiva med Oscar för tio år sedan, anima med bandet Akribi. Han är grym, ni är i goda händer. Lycka till! Mvh Martin 🤘

[@lucwilson1]

What a sick studio!

[@Maxim_BornDivided]

I'd say XXX ! But yeah, while tracking and in the mix would definitely play with your final decision.

[@danielhogeland351]

It's crazy to see that Granger amp in that studio!!!!(it's a Marshall clone setting on top of the Marshall heads) That guy builds those amps here in Alabama, USA not far from where I live!!!! Get on his website and check out the cool amps he builds!!!! He builds some cool stuff for a very good price to be hand built. I've played a few of his amps and they are very top notch!!!!

[@TheSunIsMine]

Believe it or not, I actually worked for Curt Granger for about 4 years from about 2010-2014. There is a chance I had my hands in the amp that is in this video. I would love to see inside the chassis and see if my initials are on the PT. For one of those amps to make it all the way from Alabama to Sweden is insane. I never would have imagined that one of my mentor's amps would be right there next to one of my favorite musicians. Super cool. Thanks, Ola!!

[@alexloda7660]

Ps . I have an albums worth of material to record and a great engineer producer Ala. Mutt Lange with a High end home studio would be a perfect situation

[@acarrado]

That intro song is incredible. 8 bits chiptune + metal, works perfectly !

[@daniel_naaden]

I genuinely think the best tone was the Krank. Something about the way it's engineered just sounds nastier than all the other amps. The fact that all the other amps sound like smooth, modern metal but the Krank sounds like that good ol' Dimebag attitude and is designed specifically for attitude makes it hit different. If you do not choose the Krank, my humble input would be the Triple X as an alternative.

[@beautague9163]

I don't have a krank head yet, but I am one of those few people that hunted down krank 4x12s the last few years for my band, I've got a revolution 4x12 and a krankenstein 4x12 and they're just monstrous!! I need a krankenstein head I was just hopeful that the prices would calm down a little lol but they're amazing

[@mrcoatsworth429]

How can you tell, though? It's all camera audio, and the angle for the Krank was completely different than the others. It was great, for sure, but I'd need to hear them miced up to make a decision.

[@mikejames5743]

BBE Sonic Maximizer or Sonic Stomp in the effect loop of the Peavey XXX/3120 is insane. Also great in the 5150.

[@conrauxyann5398]

Extremely interesting video, particularly for guitarists who record themselves and have a bunch of amps available ;-) ! About different tests you did, it's hard to find the good one because we are not in front of the speakers, the sound changes depending on the video shots and above all, we do not know the "color" you want on this album ;-) ! One certainty: in all cases, it will be a killer !

[@LXZone0]

the intro track is a Banger.

[@Maxim_BornDivided]

That's his new single "Game Over" :D

[@infinidominion]

Got the XXX but no JSX?

[@JoshMiddletonOfficial]

Excellent selection👌

[@arsenblackwell]

My picks. Savage for the crunch, and triple X for the rhythm and leads. But I think the Krank would suit more your style for the rhythm guitars.

[@vincelupone]

13:41 hmm, that IIC+ looks... new?

Likely lived in the studio since birth.

@@corycourtney8923I just put my pre-order in for the re-issue that comes out in a few weeks 😉

[@phillipdonsbach74]

It’s interesting to see you dial in the savage. You use a bit less channel volume to get a slightly drier tone with it than most do.

[@yuggothproductions]

Was just listening to Seance Salt Rubbed Eyes! Think Jensen is on that? Masterpiece!

[@borbetomagus1]

the EVH stealth and the SLO both sounded killer

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

Please tell me you will do a "Will It Chug" video with the new Hello Kitty guitar. PLEASE! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Yupppi]

Plug in all those amps at once. That one pedal looked so much like klon centaur. Those PRS amps are kickass! Do you have some kind of smart tracking camera stand? It shifted the frame so aggressively. Oh my god I love that dog. Goes in my top 5 nicest dog breeds. The ultimate WILL IT CHUG episode.

[@trendmassacre8423]

One band that comes to mind is Exodus when they used a different guitar tone on each side for Impact Is Imminent, both are heavy as hell!!

[@mjlagerwerf]

I would like to see a more in depth video of that Dover amp. It had some kind of high end thing going on that I like. Other than that, all amps sounded great!

I LOVE dat MLC RIG!

[@keschgelb]

Thanks for this insight, Ola! Of course it’s impossible to judge any of these amps/sounds via the room mic (for us listeners). But it's always going to be a mystery to me, what criteria a professional guitarist in general (or in this case you) uses, to select a setup. For example, you're talking about the LowEnd (which is obviously too weak for the chosen Mesa). But it's finally the LowEnd, that often causes the most problems in the mix (-> LowCut). If you listen to the corresponding tracks in solo mode at the end, it's startling how little is left of the originally set sound. Or is the basic setup selection mainly about the feeling of playing during recording? Anyways... Have fun!

[@irishRocker1]

Its so cool you can try out a bunch and see what connects for this particular album. Would be awesome to then bring your quad cortex and do a capture of the rig you use for the album so you can recreate it live. What is the camera on, how is it tracking you like that? some fancy gimbal?

[@TinoSchulz1990]

Probably some webcam thing that can track you

[@manuelaguilar8060]

[@rexlupis]

I think I'm with you, I love the Soldano, but if you don't think it'll work for the project, then it's not the one, unfortunately. Maybe you can split the signal and record the Soldano and another amp head/cab combo so that you still get a taste of that sweet Soldano tone but keep the overall feel The Haunted needs. I don't know why so many people are heaping praise on the XXX; perhaps I'm just biased, because I've never liked that amp for decades. The ENGL sounded great to my ears. The 5150 seems to always be a good choice, historically; so many great albums have that guitar tone. I definitely prefer it to the XXX. If it comes down to the ENGL, the 5150, the Krankenstein or the XXX, I'd go with the ENGL... but I'm just some random Canadian dude who hasn't been in a band for almost twenty years.
