9 years later and still probably the best sounding tone of all imo.
Absolutely!the sound and tone its a dreem of ever metal guitarist
@Black Orbit i think just reef..i dont know the name of song
I fucking agree
@@matiasx1996 o fucking k
Ola suonds better with Randall Satan .. it's angrier and more aggressive
It's incredible how much the bass adds to the overall tone. It sounds like 10x more awesome with the bass tagging along, not to say the guitar alone isn't awesome... just that it's not super heavy without the bass.
Well yeah, that is how mixing works. You don't want the guitar to have too much bass, because then, it just simply becomes a low end mush of a sound. You want to have the bass more between 4 and 6, if it is too high, it just competes with the sound of the bass, and if it is too low, when the guitar is playing on its own, it sounds super thin and just sound like crap, because it loses all of its body. Just another example of how you need to balance your tone to get the right sound for what you are looking for.
alez wright- what if the bass is on 8 and the mids are dimed, i have the low set to 9 oclock and mids dimed too along withe te mid freq on my mxr fullbore metal, how would that sound?
i meant bass 8 on the amp abd mids dined oh the amp too
Joseph Madden Depends on what amplifier you own, if you are using a 15w solid state, that would be fine. But, if you have a 50+ watt tube amp, it will become wayyyy too bassy, especially in a live setting. I would also recommend lowering the mid frequency to about up and down, and maybe lower the midrange, simply to add some more cutting girth to the amp without muddying the sh!t out of it.
i use a randall rg1503 150w solid state head, it dosent siund muddy at all, it sounds really tight and chunky, i dont like the sound of the pedal with the frequency nob anywhere else but dimed same with the mid nob, also turning the bass and mids down just makes it sound scratchy and thin
Best tone you ever had Ola! Just my opinion. Cheers!!!
i think it is one of his best tones also ...im thinking about getting the Mark V
Did you get it? If so how u like?
I just got the mark v 90 with 4x12 v30 Love it .. world class
the tones in ola englunds mark v play thru video are very accurate .
This is the most badass and unforgiving amp in existence haha, so extremely responsive and sharp, that notes literally explode off the speakers before you hit a string
This Amp is THE BEAST
11 years later and still probably the best sounding tone of all time not gonna lie
THE best metal demo of the V I have ever heard. I'm telling you these other metal amps might slay as far as low end punch, but the V just kills for articulate, mid-punchy, rhythm and solos. Really hard for find a metal amp that does rhythm AND solos well. And Metal is just the tip of the iceberg with the V. I switched to EL34's and love the classic and heavy rock sounds I'm getting,
This got to be in the top 3 sickest high gains sounds i've ever heard! It isn't hard to make an argument and put it up there on the throne of them all either...
omgosh... this is the heaviest tone i've ever heard in my life. sick video Ola, i think i just found my dream tone
hey, how's ur life going?
You need to listen to more heavy metal LOL
easily one of my best artist out there. perfect.
The Mark series never disappoints. I think the V is the best one yet but the 2c petrucci one is calling my name too.
This is the best guitar tone I have ever heard. This is the tone that I've been searching for my entire life. PLEEEEEASE tell me that you'd consider making an AxeFx2 tone match setting for it. Its fucking AMAZING.
You can get pretty close with the AxeFx2 Mark iv model and ML Sound Labs' Misha Mix 08 IR (part of their cab pack 13 ML USA). I can send you a patch if you still have your axefx.
0:47
Bass just turns the awesomeness of the sound into perfection!
Yeah Ola you really know how to make a brutal sound!
best sounding amp I´ve heard
As quoted from the Mark V manual from mesa boogie,
'This section determines the overall output level (playing volume) of the MARK V ONLY when the Rear Panel EFX LOOP is engaged (switch up - LOOP ACTIVE position) and the Effects Loop is in the signal path.'
So FX loop is disengaged and he doesn't need the solo boost as it's a recording.
nice demo Ola, you have inspired me to buy a Mesa Mark V...picking it up this evening... thanks, as always , great demos and playing! cheers!
This is the best Ola tone ever!
one of the best sounding amps on the market...
@Dekzan - IMO the Mark IV and V have way more saturation than the rectos. The recto's have a very distinct tone though, little harsher than the Marks. Again IMO, I don't like a recto without a boost. The marks play better without any boost.
This is the exact 47th time (counting) I watch this video. The tune is the most perfect tune I've ever heard in my life, it's your best tune (in my opinion), and because of this brutal song. Fuck yeah, Ola!

Young Ola is the quiet Ola. That is a killer tone my man💕💕💕💕
you're right!
This is one of my favorite tones of yours. It's just muscular sounding. Powerful but not overwhelmingly gainy.
Badass demo guys! Thanks for making the only sound demo videos that actually show you everything that's going on.
He gets a great bass guitar tone; it makes such a big a difference
I play them and the marshall's every time but I still feel like the spidervalve mkII can compete with them. It's all in the EQ and how well you place your mic. Ola is a genius at mixing so he gets the sound he wants every time
I love how this one sounds on my headphones man fucken A good way to wake up
I seriously vote for this. Go, Ola!!
Absolutely amazing amp. Fat, yet tight at the same time. Too bad they are so god damn expensive.
+NotSaint91 Lol you don't get to own an "amazing amp" without wasting a lot of bucks. That's the universal rule
+Randall Halo you don't waste money on them, they're excellent investments for serious musicians.
Jimmy Danger Gonzalez Sorry that was some poor choice of words there. I meant "spending"
0:07. I hate when that happens.
Alex Wright Its always the fucking string I don't have an extra. (E,A,D)
Mark iic plus 44 Yep, same here. I have soooo many extra g and b strings, it is ridiculous.
Alex Wright It breaks for you at the bridge right?
Mark iic plus 44 Yep. Every damn time.
Alex Wright I always felt that I did something wrong because my A string always did that. Then one of my metal buddies says he goes through low E strings like tissues.
am i the only one who thinks this version was much better than the orginal "warbound"?
Jeroen Reyns Absolutely dude, the entire Furor Incarnatus just sounds a little weird to me, probably the lack the of low-end saturation I guess
i love the mark v's i only got to play the combos at a local music store but it was amazing every time i used it
That tone...omg. Just one word to describe it. BABYCRUSHING.
Great playing as always - sounds crushing, Mark V has a tremendous in your face aggressive tone, takes a little more effort to dial in but worth it.
Amazing sound - IMO the best in it's segment. It's clear, brutal and waaaarm!
most versatile, best sounding amp in the world IMHO. Some say it's more flat than the rectifier, I would put it this way: its sound is fuller.
Shame I don't even have money to buy a $250 amp, if I had money I would go all the way for a Mark V and a Rect 4x12.
How is it possible to capture that much awesome with just a SM57!?
Ola, thanks for breaking down the signal chain on the guitar and on recording!!! My signal chain isa wah straight to amp on the front and a silencer in the effects loop.
back to the old days, nice to see you again with a mesa
Very cool amp demo, I like how you isolated the guitar at one point just so we could hear that outside of the rest of the mix.
I'm not big into playing the heavy stuff anymore, but damn I want to get hammered and play some metal with Ola. Any instrument. Let's go.
Play drums at all? If so, do feel free to come and get stoned with me and my girlfriend and play some punk rock..... I throw some beer in the fridge for you, we don't really drink, but if you meet us, you will think we are drunk in perpetuity.
I play the drums strictly for fun, but they are also the instrument I'm worst at hahah. Always down for a jam, brother. What kind of punk are you into?
turnthatuptoeleven1 Well, anything from the snottiest CV type shit to the old peace-punk bands to some of the new grindcore and crust. Just has to increase my pulse a little bit, and I'm there. I bet you're a better drummer than me. I only even own a bass-drum (flipped up on a stand so I can hit it with a hand-held beater) hat and snare. Beater in my right hand, regular stick in my left, click in my headphones, only because I need to be able to record and give CDs away and email MP3's and upload crappy slideshows with my songs for the ego-massage that comes with it.
FUCKK this tone is so damn heavy, even my pc drop the shit out..
Love this song and this amp! I use one with a mode 4 cab and mesa grid slammer overdrive in front.sounds amazing:)
The two different takes one left side one right, gives it a way bigger sound because it's almost doubled in a way and it makes it stereo, makes the tone sound bigger. Metallica used to record a bunch of takes to get their tone: middles' left's right's and then some.
everything about this is incredible.
God, seriously, tears in my eyes. Fuck, I need more of this shit in my life. Wow.
that is a great point....a mark 5 will last for decades...it may need some repairs and of course some tubes , but being a more mechanical device it will be repairable...how long will the window be on axe fx2 repair??...10 years?Probably more like 5-7, then the parts will be obsolete.Fractal only has a year warranty compared to i think 5 for mesa..having said that, I wish i could get a mark5 and an axe2, but must pick only one
that solo man thrives with feeling love it
Might I add that this song is (in my opinion) a pure riffological awesomeness !!!!
I like the feel of Machinehead in your songs from now and then.
Needless to say... You are one of my favorite *music making people* lately.
\m/
I think I can say you are one of the few ones that make me dream. Thanx.
I love your randall...I REALLY do, but my favorite tones from you all come from the Mesas. I guess that's just more of my thing!
You make every amp you demo sound great.
I just falling in love...
When i brought the album "The Mask of Sanity" from "Scarpoint", I just can't stop listening that shit!
And then I brought the album "Rejects" from "Feared" and drive me crazy...
I just want another disk from Ola or i will die!!
One of the best guitarrists what i ever hear!!
Respect Ola! :D
I dont listen to you for the tone but for the tunes
Great song Ola. This is my one of my favorite amps.
That is amazing, my settings are damn near where his are both on the channel and in the eq section. Great amp!
THIS.IS.AWESOME.BEST.VIDEO. IVE.SEEN.FOR.AN.AMP.DEMO
only because im into this heavy shit, more than hearing a demo on all the clean channels. Forget that shit. Save those videos for the weekend warriors.
Thanks
My god.... 1:20 THAT is what I hear in my head when I think of a Mark V!!!
Funny, because this sounds nothing like a Mark V. Don't get me wrong, I love Ola's playing and style, but he uses too much post EQ and that messes with the tone of the amp. I own a Mark IV and V and trust me, this isn't how it sounds.
Juan José Fonseca Godoy Depending on pickups and how he sets the 5 band graphic, and the cabinet, a Mark V is capable of doing this sound without any post eq. The only post eq I've seen him use is a slight roll-off in the lows and a tiny notch at a certain point in the highs, but I donn't think he even used post-eq on this one.
Adam Rainstopper A Mark can't sound like that, truste me. And he did use post EQ, he even says it on the video. The "bad" thing about Ola is that he makes sound the same every single amp, except the Mk IIC+ because he didn't use post EQ on that demo.

Juan José Fonseca Godoy The only thing I am really hearing with the post EQ is some compression. Also, it has the bass playing right along with it, which gives that thicker, meatier sound without losing the clarity you get by turning up the bass.
def. my favorite mesa of all time. Still saving for one!
One of the best sounds you ever got! Compare it with the diezel hagen vid...the hagen is almost blurry comparatively.
0:36 Maaaan, sounds so gooood!
the drum intro was almost exactly the one in war from meshuggah, except not that crazy ahahah great videos ola, thx for posting
always the best sound here. keep on doing this fantastic work dude!
This is so awesome! Possibly your best gear testing video ever!
Love your breaks and solos man adds some beauty to the brutality .
This is the best sound of all "blabla amp - metal" your videos
Mark V and EVH 5150 are my fav amps...
Pro editing and demonstration, you are one of a kind Ola!
Your best video since Savage times.
Dave is currently using a Marshall JVM410h. They sound great, many agree that the JVM series is the best thing Marshall came out with in many years. And they can get to 80's thrash metal territory, back when about everyone was using Marshall JCM800's. I've played one at 2 gigs and liked it a lot, classic sound. If you really want to get a mesa, my personnal choice would be a rectifier. I've owned a dual rectifier and and tried a mark iv and for me there was no hesitation. Big Megadeth fan btw.
I love all your videos, but my favorite tones of yours have always been when you play Mark amps. Just solid, crunchy, dry destruction.
Now, let me dig in to the depths of my wallet and see if I can find money for this amp... I found $5.
Im a boogie guy but I really thought that sounded fantastic. My favourite tone so far. Great video too
The best tone of real metal
try engl savage/blackmore too. they have all the articulation, mids and the soothing solo tone too, but with a different and a bit smoother gain structure. imo the blackmore has an even nicer palm mute than the MK V (and is overall the best amp i've ever played and owned).
He's bypassed the effects loop, which also bypasses the master volume control on this particular amp. The channel volume control is up and most likely QUITE loud.
I fucking LOVE the signature Mesa fizz. It just sound so filthy and dirty. Sure, I love tight, clean and processed too but the Mesa thing I just love to death.
Aww its baby face Ola.
By far your best tone!
dude, this song rules
Fucking beautiful
bakerXderek i love your motovlogs man
I had road king II. It's a nice over-all machine, does cleans nicely, but I don't think it's a metal monster. You've got to push it too far to get a somewhat acceptable metal tone. I had to crank gain all the way to 8.5-9 to get nice tight and punchy sound and that's just doesn't feel right for me for some reason. I sold it and never looked back. If you want a nice metal amp, look into 5150. These are just AWESOME all the way.
Amazing demo of the head! This song sounds fabulous!
mesa now makes distortion pedals. Their new Throttle Box pedal is fairly good. It has that famous sound. Although, I just picked up my Mark V yesterday for $1500 used MINT. I felt that the throttle box just wasn't worth the $200 for that sound. Although, Try the pedal called "Triple Wreck" its a little pricy but fuck me it sounds incredible, I guarantee you will find your tone with that. you wont regret it....
Awesome sound for very metal
Man, you do the best videos...
Send this sound into space so the entire universe can experience what real music sounds like.
Love this tone! I have a Mark V and can almost get a similar tone, but I always seem to need a boost out front to tighten the lower mids. I think those SD distortions might be your secret weapon.
You have to record it twice, and pan each one. That's what gives it the widening effect.
Hey look it's Jerry Cantrell in 1991
sakimano hahahaha, good one
Without the Shiva
Jerrrrrry!
ive talked to alot of mark v owners,most of them use the mark iv setting as their main tone.Infact i know most of them said they liked the mark iv much better than the V.
fucking brutal. blows me away how even simple riffs can sound amazing coming from you.... let alone the advanced ones.
I am learning lots from hearing your videos, thanks.
Man your guitar sound is the best i hear !!!
wow! what a tone
if you liked the retrosky from greenhouse effects, you should check the nobrainer- one of the best high gain distortion pedals in the world. seriously.
ola, the solo from this song made me jizz and cry at the same time... way to go in using that delay pedal...
Awesome, you opened my third eye as a thrasher with this performance and sound :)
I've been a diehard Mesa lover for years, still can't scrap up the cash for one. I've been thinking about settling on a 5150 until funds permit a Mark IV or Mark V, or a Roadster later on down the road. Found a 5150 combo in decent shape locally for $500, might have to bring her home.
