Dude, that is pretty freaking awesome. The solo harmony trick is killer.
His solo tones are just killer
I was on the fence about buying the AX8 till I watched this video, but immediately afterwards I bought the AX8. Thanks Ola! I really appreciate you showing how to use the editor as well as the demos bro. Your videos have helped me to figure out what gear I truly wanted to invest in to get the tone I want.
these rig rundowns are so helpful, I wish more artists would share their setups. Thanks Ola!
7:08 Hahahahhaha
so i just clicked on your channel and had a browse... im so confused XD
Luigi Masella
The feeling is mutual, I mean what I do is the result of being kinda confused myself :)
Gold...hahaha
ChristianIce hahaha you do you man, whatever works :P
Go fuck y...
The thing I liked the most in this vid is that the two presets you showed are from two songs of my favorite album.
I need to see you live!!!
Just talked myself out of an FX8 then saw this (don't need any amp modelling! That's why I got rid of each and everything since POD HD500x and Kemper) Now I think the FX8 would still be a good idea. Damn you Ola!
Dear ola
I love you harmonic tone. Loved it. Do you think you can show how you set up your pitch to have this beautiful tone.
Would be a great help. Thank you so much
So Helpful, have had the Ax8 on my mind for some time. Was thinking about selling my 6505, but now I think I will kept it and run a similar setup. Hopefully I can get some cash for my pedals, and live off chef boyardee ravioli for 2 months. I have a focusrite as well, wonder if I can run the total output from the back speaker port of the amp.
I got lost about 30 seconds in. I have always went Guitar, cable, amp. I need to watch more videos like this. I think I am stuck back in time
I would love to own all the gear Ola has in this video, just to learn how to use them all and experiment with the endless possibilities. Thanks for the video Ola \m/ metal \m/
Ola, when you get time, show your fans what it sounds like with a dual rec with a Mesa 5 band eq in the effects loop. They will love it and you will to if you haven't tried it. I'm using one with my 2 channel Revision F and it's brutal. Love your vids
I really like your setup. Praying for my next paycheck to make some kindof of upgrade to my rig.
Thanks for the rundown man. These real world set up videos are super helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I have just hooked up my JCM 2000 with my Line6 X3 Live with this 4 cable method and now I'm kind of getting the right sound or al least I'm on the right path now. Thanks again for taking the time to put out rhis kind of information. BTW, I was just about to buy a tube screamer this morning and a separate wah...!!! You saved me 200 bucks...!!
I'd be interested to see more of how you have that RJM switcher set up.
Well looks like I found the what I need to complete my archon rig! Hopefully I can change the channels to. Thanks man!
I use this setup with my ENGL Powerball MkII and my POD HD500X. The Amp Gizmo is my saviour
Im havin trouble figuring out how yo connect the switch gizmo into my loop with my satan and the send level on the effects loop and having trouble setting levels in my singal with my pod hd500x. Could you help me with your knowledge? Lol im using the 4 cable method but im getting horrible feed back. I have the master on the pod set at max, my fx loop block send and return level is at 0 with the mix maxed, the level control in my signal chain is panned 100% left and 100% right, i have A and B turned up to 12.dbs, the send level on my amps effects loop is at noon.
Hey Ola, awesome video! I just picked up an AX8 mainly after seeing and hearing your rig. Would you consider doing a more in depth video on your FX settings, particularly your harmonizer setup?
My amp head really cannot output midi, as you said (2:26) the pedal output on AX8 can be made the amp relay to change the channel, please help to confirm. (I don't wanna spend extra money to buy switch gizmo....)
Hey Ola, love watching your videos, they're so informative!!! I just bought myself an AX8 which I'm waiting for and I use harmonies in several songs. I dug the way your harmonies sounded in the video and the ability to bring them in and out using the expression pedal was awesome!
I know this video was posted a while ago but was hoping you could explain how you setup the harmony that way or do you have a publicly available patch with this setup somewhere? Thanks man and keep slaying!!!
Nice Ola. Some day I hope to be good enough to need and afford a system like yours. Sounds awesome.
Very impressive setup and creative tones.
any help on getting those harmonies to sound like that on the ax8 would be awesome!
You have to set it up at the scale you are playing in other wise it won't sound right.
Killer sound! You're so good at explaining things!
Sounds amazing man. That Satan amp is something else!
I love the 99 riff. I didn't realize you were in THE HAUNTED.
excellent video Ola
Could you please share your ''pitch block'' that you use with your expression pedal - at 6min47 :) :)
Ola! Great video! You should do a riff war with fluff or shred war with JD
hey man great use of the harmonizer, mind to share the settings or patch? Fractal and satan rules
Killer rig with incredible tone, and some badass guitar playing as usual \m/
Dude those harmonies were fucking beautiful
Awesome rig, Ola! Makes me a bit happy - and sad, at the same time - that I play bass ;)
Hey Ola, love these vids and your effort put into them. After watching this video, just wondering if there was any particular reason you didn't include MIDI when designing the Satan? From purely a design/technical POV were there any pro/con factors influencing this decision? From your previous rig videos you mentioned how you love a clean/sleek setup, so I was kinda surprised to realise the absence of MIDI in the Satan and thus you having to had add RJM Gizmo/midi in your setup which kinda results in having to add (slightly) more to the rig. Just a thought. Keep up the great vids!
ola put no effort of his own into the design or sound of the satan. It is just a rebadged fortin natas that randall put their name on when they hired mike fortin , and they put olas face on it to sell it.
according to Fractal (not me) the Ax8 is not optimized for 4CM, the FX8 on the other hand has the best OpAmps for using it in 4CM. Have you noticed any pops or clicks when changing patches? or maybe this only a marketing strategy by Fractal
Love the ending!
all haill Ola!!!
that opening, right before credit and dattt ending!!
lol
Oh man i was litteraly laughing my ass off at the end xD Btw very interesting video as usual
me too, I had to watch it 3 times, it made my day :)
Same xD
Loved the end too :-)
I have watched the whole video 4 times already...
@@kozzygurgelzula3748 well I have watched it 5 times ! That's one more than you 😉 I win !
00:06 to 00:10 10 minutes into FEARED and chill and he gives you this look
AMAZING OLA !!! PLEASE THE HARMONIZER SETTING OR PATCH !!! Y TRY TO MAKE A GOOD HARMONIZER ,BUT ITS NOT EASSY,PLEASE SOME HELP !!!
THANK YOU AND HAPPY 2017 BRO !!!
Hi Ola thank You for this great vídeo ! How can i switch channels on my blackstar amp cause i love the drive sound ? Using pedals 1-4 ? And ? Thank You very much
so do you use the AX instead of the FX so that you can have two signals a Satan and a direct? I understand FX was for tube amps, so I I'm curious why you go with AX over FX
Hey Ola, thanks for showing your live RIG. I am very interested in how you engage the pedal to add / control the twin leads / harmony. I assume you are using the pitch block in the fx loop and assign the volume modifier to the pedal, correct? How do you specify / program the scale in the correct key of each song?
Thx and Greetz
Stef
I come here for metal and to enjoy Ola humour. This video delivered
Hi how are you ? Can you plug the output of the Ax8 straight into return of the FX loop of you amp, using it only as a power amp and cab? Using the Ax8 amp simulations plus effects and bypassing the cab block ? In case you can't bring your amp to the gig.
That is a nice match, can you explain about the connection you use to comunícate your amp with ax8? Please let me know.
Thank you.
The pitch harmony sounds amazing! Any pedals out there that would sound as badass as that?
Wow Ola! How did you set up that pitch harmony? Just plz tell me.... its so amazing!!!!
hey Ola, do you notice any drop in volume or any loss in mids or highs with the FX Loop turned on? ...and if you didn't, go duhduh dun dun dun dun dun dun duhduhduh.. lol
"RHYTHM
LEAD
CLEAN
KEBAB?" lmao wtf xD
Would you recommend this to someone using a wet/dry rig? I'm trying to simplify my amount of gear I have to setup for gigs. Currently I run pedals in an RJM MEG in front of an attenuated 50 watt plexi into one cab, then a line-out from the attenuator into a rack with a rocktron xpression and a mosvalve500 which drives a second cab. Having something like that AX8 looks like it would make my life much easier!
Oh I forgot about the Voodoo GCP that controls it all. See what I mean...too much crap lol
0:06 -> ferocious attack on the like-button
hello Ola, greetings from UK, can you please give us a tutorial of how you using your midi and how you set it up?
I am running a Randall V2 with a g-system but for some reason whenever i save a preset the whole rig seems to forgetting and the whole process seems really confusing
Thanks again!
How are you switching channels from the AX8? How do you setup the MIDI portion in the AX8? I have an AX8 on the way and was thinking about using the MIDI to switch channels on my Blackstar Series One amp if possible. Can I do that?
1. Can the FX8 run this same way?
2.It's really cool to have your harmony on an expression pedal, that way you can bounce between rhythm and lead parts without the rhythm parts being harmonized. It makes a lot of sense
Oh yeah...the FX8 was SPECIFICALLY designed for 4cm...same with Axe FX 2. The AX8 not so much, but because its such a transparent high quality piece it does it with ease. Fractal gear rocks.
Hello Ola, love your videos!Can this kind of set up work if, instead of an effects processor, you're using an actual pedalboard with pedals and a midi switcher/looper (ie. Voodoo Lab Pedal Switcher PX - 8)? Additionally, instead of an actual amp, you're using a Kemper Profiler? Thank you and sorry for the loaded question.
Sure you can, check out the set up of John Petrucci (although he does use Axe FX in the loop besides regular pedals). Funny thing is that if you calculate how much a Voodoo HEX/PX8 + Commander + pedals + board + power costs, you'll be pretty close to how much Axe FX8 alone costs (and much more than Line 6 HD500X), which raises a question whether you can just stick to a single effects processor.
One thing that's a little tricky to do using pedal only is reassigning the "volume" pedal from Wah to Harmony level with a preset switch - you need both pedals to be MIDI-controlled basically.
Thank you for the info!
You can also check out Boss ES-5/ES-8, I think it actually makes it possible to do the MIDI-control trick
I have a Satan. I dont have the axe fx pedal, I just have three pedals in my effects loop for my clean tone, and a couple in front of the amp with my dirty tone. What would you recommend I get to switch between my dirty tone and clean tones seamlessly?
easiest would just be to have an the switch gizmo, check out my touring rig 2014 video and you'll see it.
will do, thanks ola.
+Metal Head Productions also check out Voodoo Labs HEX + Commander
G LAB switchers might be an option.
+Ola Englund Hi Ola, thnx for all your great videos. A question, since, if I'm not mistaken, you're using the pedalboard just for the effects, and the head for both pre and power section, would it be different to use an Fx8 instead of the Ax8?
Beggining kicked my ass xD
7:08 And that killed me : D
Cool video. Do you know of other (cheaper) fx pedals that have the 4-cable option?
Awesome as always Ola!
i love the sound of that pitch shift harmony, A7X does it alot between their guitar players but its impossible with only one, what is the preset actually called?
4 cable method was a total mind fuck, have to try this. I have a DV Mark Triple 6, never gotten the fx loop to sound right. Everything I run thru it feedback's.
Hey Ola. Great content, keep it coming. Do you find any colouring of the amp tone vs using the pedal rig you used to use?
Like - when your on your rhythm sound with no effects in, how does the tone compare with the Axe-8 against the little pedal board you were using a couple of years ago.
Just to be sure With this 4 cables method, you cannot use stereo mode?
Why you choose the AX8 , the FX8 seems more interesting if you use with your amp in the loop
From my understanding the ax8 doesn't have channel switching to change channels on the amp like the fx8? Is there a way to seamlessly switch channels on the amp when switching to a clean patch on the ax8??
Thanks for your vid. Do you ever use stereo in the ax8 ? Would that make a difference?
Hey Ola! Can you control 2 amps at the time (midi channel as well)? I have a Triple Recto and a Diezel Herbert hooked together, but I have to manage 2 footswitchs. I'd love to have something that controls both amps.
I love the 4CM, but I still can't understand why they haven't created a breakout box with a single cable that lets me connect only one cable at the time. I've tried pedalsnake in the past but it's complicated and you also have to connect four fables (5 with midi) each time
Hey Ola, is there any way I can get the presets you have for this video? Just bought the AX8 and In still trying to figure it out, but I love your presets.
Damn Nice setup Ola.
Will it work with the Randall Rm100
Show us the configuration of the fractal presets please
Could you do a review of the Boss gt-1 when it comes out?
I noticed you didn’t have a noisegate in the Fx loop, just at the input. Can you share the values or the patch ola?
I got a randall satan but the fx loop does require a noisegate after the loop block or i get all hell’s noise
Ola, is the PX-SOLARV16ECT available for purchase? None of the dealers associated with the "Buy Now" on the Washburn site have it listed. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for your time!
It's a 2016 model and should be available from August...
+Ola Englund Thanks! August it is!
It was a great vídeo! But the “go fu&@&” was the best part! Kkk
Ola, do you consider to use the AX8 alone? With amp sims and stuff?
I think he might use the ax8 as well as back up for his randall satan
Awesome Pedal Bro AX8 Brutal!!!
If you ever wanted to have a click bait title, you can always make a name a video
"I LOVE SATAN" and make it about your Randall Satan!
The ending of this video was awesome!
Amazing upload Ola!
0:06, 7:10 hahah😝😂
Hey is this still currently awsome or do you have a new favorite ?
How do you change the Clean and Overdrive sound of your Randall , on your presets ? Mr OLA. ( by Midi Cable?) Thank you
Hi Ola,
would you recommend the Line6 M13 ?
I know that the AX8 has much more possibilities, but in terms of overall sound quality, and features, could you achieve the same thing using the M13 ?
Thanks !
Does it matter what kind of effects loop have on your amp ? (series/parallel) I have a 5153 50 watt and when hooked up this way the direct output of the axe8 is over-riding the amp controls. volume, channel switching have no effect.
Hi , I own a marshall jvm and would like to know if I can control via midi the jvm channels by ax8,
i guess not right? thanks
How about the FX8 MK II.. What is the difference, and can you do the same thing with that?
How do you set for amp midi function switching on the fractal? I use your same rig now, but i don't know how to set the channell amp switching on my engl se. Thanks
Hello, I have a Laney Tony Iommi TS100, that comes with a midi output to connect its footswitch...¿How could I change the amplifiers channels using the Pod XT Live?, I connected the MIDI output of the Podxt live to the footswitch MIDI input of the Laney, but I don`t know how I should program the pedalboard. Thanks
Is this run via series or parallel loop? Im thinking of modding my Dual Rec from parallel to series to accomidate a 4-cm (since thats what the internet tells me), but i just want to make sure, hopefully from you, that parallel loop is definitely not the way to go...
The AX8 is like the George Foreman of pedals. It keeps everything compact and clean but there is still something about it to use a real pedal board or a real grill.
Hey Ola. I have a 6505+ and I followed your cable instructions. For some reason, my amp sounds SUPER thin when I turn the loop off to switch to my lead channel. When I plug my guitar directly to the front of the amp, it sounds normal. I just got my Ax8 so I’m super new to the wiring of it all. Help?
Damn.... Smidigt hörru. Lät sjukt gött =)
Ola
Do you use any wireless system?
In this video there is not any system
Do you use the cable on concerts too?
Ola, have you ever tried the Randall Rh300 G3 Hybrid amp? What are your thoughts on it? Nice rig btw :D
I need that channel changing box!!!
Killer tones right there! Are you using the Hesu 2x12 live as well? And what speakers are in it, V30's or Hesu Demon?
Is it possible to use different wah pedal (not fractial audio) so I can use effects like pitch ect.?
To get a good level on my Marshall jvm I have to set my outputlevels 1&2 to +4db on the AX8. Am I doing this right ?
hi ola, when you program a patch to use with a external power amp. Do you use the modeled preamps or just stick with the whole amp model. i use a line 6 hd pro
Hi ola. I tried to set up my rigs just like you explained on this video. I use VHT (fryette) pittbull ultra lead. when I connect everything, my amp and AX8. ground noise is so loud and I couldnt get rid of it. When Im playing with my handmade pedal board there is no noise what so ever. I watched this video many times but I dont think you are using Humbuster cables for send return section. did you get ground noise? if you did how did you make it so silent? if you have any tips could you give me some advice? thank you so much!!
It really could be something simple as you amp and ax8 are not plugged into the same outlet, strip or conditioner. Also, did you make sure to turn off the amp and cab sim? If that is not it, get either new cables or breakdown and buy or mod the cables to humbusters
Hi Ola
I have the same configuration, but there is a slight delay in scene changes, is there a way to solve this?
regards from Chile!
