Hi Ola thank you for this video, can you please make in depth review of Laney Ironheart head, there are no great reviews of this amp and you can make it shine :) thanks!
To me this just reinforces how the majority of the tone of a rig is in the cabinet / speakers. The Dark Terror was the only one that had a particularly different tone to it out of all of them. All of them had their own subtle 'characters' but very much came across as variations on a theme.
Couldn't be better said, the man thinks so too. My dream amp was always a JVM until I played a 5150... I'd get the 6l6 tho. Hearing this makes me want a Mesa cab 🤣
Ide say the dark terror and the rev had noticable differences, but nothing a pedal couldn't bridge. So yeah, a good sounding cab is WAY more important than a good sounding amp.
Amps are not only about sound but also how they feel and respond to the players style. But I agree with above - the sound is very similar between the amps.
honestly, this video made me realize that with those Solar guitars and those pickups, no matter what rig you'd play through, you've got a signature sound and I absolutely love it! Me, I'd love to see a "1 RIFF / 10 GUITARS" video to see just how differently you can mix up the tones. Great video, Ola, I love your content!
The difference is so subtle between the amps. It’s more the grain of the distortion, maybe a bit of the overall eq, but not worlds apart by any means. At least in YT land.
Absolutely right ! The Amp is more about the distortion, the dynamics, the feel etc. The Cab and the mic placement are way more important ! They define the whole frequency range !
@@CFChristian I was surprised too. But to be honest, if this wasn't a head to head comparison (pun intended), I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. 😅
To be fair it's not such a big difference between them... but I like Revv, Fortin and Randall Satan the most, disappointed with the Engl tho :c it'd be interesting to see 1 amp with different cabinets too ;)
@@moonsuga Dude, if one tunes an Evertune equipped guitar slightly out of tune with the backing track, it stays that way. Just slightly sharp, that's all. No biggie, chill 😁
I felt that Marshall for some really hit the spot and stood out and felt a little different however that fortin amp along with the mesaboogie were also really good
@@WeinanHu-zj4jk even when the mix is turned down and you check them in A/B comparison, it`s hard to hear a difference. Never would have thought that the SATAN is so close to a Marshall.
OOoooo that first EVH sounded amazing. When the chords had a little time to ring out, the tone really blossomed. That and the Badlander were my favourites for this riff.
This was a great video. The Revv was my fav. Fortin SIgil and Randall Satan next (they sounded almost identical to me through my Kali LP6s). Pretty impressed with how that Laney Ironheart sounded.
Man, that JCM really brings out the bass! Sounds bad ass, I can't decide if it would be good for a whole album, but it did make it sound heavy in a very different way! My next favorite was probably the Satan. Really liked this vid!
I love the sound of the Mesa Badlander! But really, 9 out 10 amps sounded very similar. The odd one out was the Orange Dark Terror. I'm guessing it's because Ola couldn't fine tune the EQ the way he probably wanted. Idk.
i was glad i could hear particular differences, throughout the list; they are indeed well dialed for similar tone... most of the differences i could hear could be trumped by mixing decisions imho.
I always though Revv amps were kinda a hype brand, but that amp seems the most consistent and well balanced to my ears in this demo. Glad to admit I was wrong!
There is so much more to learn from this video, than just how the different amps sound! For one, it really shows how important the cabinet is when it comes to overall guitar sound. 10 different cabinets would make 10 far more different sounds, than those ten amps with settings that sound similar through the same cabinet like in the video. Same with the mic positioning. Second, it really shows how "shitty" a guitar tone sounds, that works well in the mix when listened to it solo. The first half with the other instruments at every single amp i was like "woah, that awesome", as soon as the drums and synths fade out that changes to an "ugh, that sounds like shit, is this really the same tone?". A guitar that sounds good in mix sounds like shit when listened solo, and the other way around. Basic knowledge, but a very good example here. I think Ola teached way more in this video, than he actually intended to.
This video really helped me solidify that i want a EVH 5150 III. I own a fortin sigil 20w and your signature randall satan 120w. Just another flavor of sound, in other words, aggressive and brutal. Thank you
EVH and MARSHALL are top notch. Probably followed by Randall Satan and Mesa, I'd include Orange Dark terror. Holy crap Ola you're just insane bringing all these together 🤟
Damn Ola, this JCM sounded incredible! What a video! I was waiting for J2C+ in John's head though. Maybe in a future video like this?! Nevertheless keep up the awesome work. \m/
That was somewhat eye opening. And I don't mean that basically all amps (with some exception) sounded quite similiar. Thats the cab. No - I mean... that you get this awesome juicy sound out of the kinda mushy amp tone by post processing. I could have sworn this is impossible, but here we are. good job, as always.
Revv, badlander, Fortin in that order. Next video would love to see 1 riff 10 boost pedals. I really think the orange dark terror would sound a ton better with a boost
@@Scrimshaw_DuBois42 to me all orange amps seem to benefit from a boost. They are too flubby for my personal taste but with a boost they tighten up and still sound massive at the same time.
I have the 60w Laney Ironheart. It sounds really good with a boost in front of it. Comes with an attenuator in it so you can get cranked tones at low volume too, it's a nice head for sure.
Yeah Ironheart is probably one of the most versatile high gain amp out there and you don’t have to pay a ridiculous amount of money compared to a bunch of these amps
This also reaffirms that most tone is in the speakers/cab. This is still awesome, and there are slight variations. To me, the Revv and the Fortin had the most clarity and punch. It sat so well in the mix.
Man, was having a rough morning and feeling unmotivated and ola uploads just the video I need. Mesa boogie probably owes 98% of their 4x12 recto cabs sales to this man!
Don't mind me. Just leaving timestamps for later.. 0:06 EVH 5150 0:30 Mesa Boogie Badlander 0:55 Marshall JCM 800 1:20 ENGL Savage 1:45 Fortin Sigil 2:10 Randall RGT 2:34 Laney Ironheart 2:59 REVV Generator 3:24 Orange Dark Terror 3:49 Randall Satan The Randall RGT, Orange and REVV seem to be the most different sounding among the amps.
Dammit every time Ola plays the EVH 100w EL34 he keeps the Presence at noon, which on that amp is the same as keeping it on 0. He consistently makes that amp sound dark and muffled by setting the Presence too low. He dials in every other amp nicely but for some reason he always sabotages that specific amp and makes it sound dark and muddy. I wish somebody on youtube would do that amp some justice and set the Presence around 2:30 - 3:30, which is where it needs to be to make the amp sound clear and articulate. Glad to see he's doing amp demos again though! They're always fun and educational.
For 3 channel head that you can get for 350€ second hand it's really good one. It may not have the absolute best clean, crunch or metal tone, but it's good enough in every one of those. At this point I see no reason investing 2-3000 more to have a little extra something.
All I have to say is this video and audio is so insanely well put together. For an amp comparison video it really doesn’t get better than this. Agree with others if you could do a cab comparison in this same manner that would be amazing. Great work ola
All amplifiers sounds preatty good, but hearing this riff like a modern metal riff, with a modern amplifier like the revv sounded almost perfect, the bass of that amp punches perfectly like every good metal chug riff must do. Great work!
Now this is interesting. I was almost 100% that I will like the EVH or the Mesa the best, but my top 3 favorites were actually: 1. Laney Ironheart - love the mids and the clarity 2. Marshall JCM800 2205 - has some shine that the others don't have 3. Engl Savage - massive (then Mesa then Satan)
I thought something similar, with EVH and Laney. For me was: 1. Orange Dark Terror 2. Randall Satan 3. Marshall JCM800 2205 (almost never go Marshall) I guess I'm on a different mood haha.
All sounded great respectively, as someone stated earlier it’s influenced by the cab/speakers. The one thing that stood out for me is that the Dark Terror maybe showed it’s biggest flaw in only having a shape control Vs a 3 band EQ.
Ola, these all sound great! Can we get another 1 riff/10 amp video with a thrashier riff tuned in E standard for us guitarists too scared to change tunings? lol
JCM 800, EVH, and Randall Satan were my favourites. Dark terror was cool, but it really needs an OD to get it into the sweet spot. Revv and the other Randall were not my cup of tea at all, they sounded “broken” like there was distortion and saturation happening in the wrong places. Bad lander was sick, and probably my 4th favourite!
To my ear Revv just done the things right. But I was surprised by Fortin Sigil, solid and powerful. Even went googling :D sadly it's too heavy for the size and underequipped for the price.
My favorite were the RG100, JCM800, Mesa and ENGL. I like the deep ballsy sound. The Fortin , Orange, and Revv were too bright and thin for me. The EVH and Satan were in the middle.
Really surprised with the jcm 800 that sounded pretty killer amongst all these beasts!! Can't pick a favorite they all sound pretty beasty that riff fucking slays man. 🤘🤘🤘
The Dark Terror, Marshall, and Fortin seem to be the ones that felt unique of the few but this shows that the cab makes the biggest difference here. Still a really cool test
True and not true at the same time. You can hear huge differences, for example between Laney und Mesa or Engl in this Video. Of course, tone gets close if the same guy dials in the amps to get the best tone for this kind of music / riff. However, Cabinets are important, Mics are important (both if DI Recording is not used) - as is the guitar and the amp itself. I reorganised my stack at home switching cabs (Bugera 6262 from Peavey Cab to Harley Benton Cab, Bugera 333XL from HB Cab to Peavey Cab). Boy, was this a tone change for both amps. However, both amps sound so differently, you could not mistake them. One more brutal and rough, the other more rock, straight, Metal scooped but somehow "plastic". Not to mention my currently not working Bugera TriRec which somehow destroys even the 6262 in Metal brutality but is not that much hardcore. And if I start my Bugera G5, I am in a total different sound world... And these are all great sounding discount copies of the real deals (Blackstar, Mesa Triple Rectifier, Peavey 6505 and XXX). And then it happens, that I dial in the 6262 with my solar AB1.6 to get a sick Metal / Hardcore / Metalcore tone but after switching Guitars, i recognise that there is way too much Bass for my Hagström UltraSwede... So, I could work with compromises or Focus the 6262 on the solar and the 333xl on the Hagström. The sound in the end is always a mix of everything. Guitarists (including me) tend to focus too much on the amps, but in the end amps are not interchangable or unimportant. They are as important as the guitar or the Cab.
Chilling out, dreaming away then the Revv comes on. WTF Love it. Also noticed the bass guitar frequency in the mix with that one. The Satan 50 was great too
I would like a 1 Riff / 10 Cabinets as it makes such a huge part of the sound
He *kinda* did that, with each having their own amp, right? I'd like to see that as well.
@@CFChristian Are you talking about that video where he mixed and matched cabs and amps with the splitter?
@@jsullivan2112 Yes
@@CFChristian That video was awesome!
That would be awesome. Same cab with different speakers would also bbe great.
Request what you would want to see for next video! 1 Riff / 10 guitars? 1 Riff / 10 Overdrives etc? Let me hear your suggestions!
EDIT: fixed the timestamps. Sorry!
1 riff / 10 guitars sounds awesome 😎🤘
1 Riff/ 10 amp sims
1 Riff/ 10 different speakers (or less 😅)
1 Riff/ 10 overdrives 🤷🏽♂️
1 riff 10 cabs
1 riff 10 Olas
Hi Ola thank you for this video, can you please make in depth review of Laney Ironheart head, there are no great reviews of this amp and you can make it shine :) thanks!
EVH, JCM800 and the ENGL were the stand outs for me, they just cut through the mix the best. Those 800s have just stood the test of time. What an amp!
800 was, is and will be the most important amp ever
To me this just reinforces how the majority of the tone of a rig is in the cabinet / speakers. The Dark Terror was the only one that had a particularly different tone to it out of all of them. All of them had their own subtle 'characters' but very much came across as variations on a theme.

I also found different the Randall RGT, but surely the Dark terror was the most different, also because of his fuzzy distortion
Preamplification.
Amps are not only about sound but also how they feel and respond to the players style. But I agree with above - the sound is very similar between the amps.
My takeaway is that Ola really knows how he likes to dial in an amp. The overall similarity in this mix is remarkable.

Me, I'd love to see a "1 RIFF / 10 GUITARS" video to see just how differently you can mix up the tones. Great video, Ola, I love your content!
I think this just demonstrates how important it is to have an Ola at one end of the signal chain. 👍
That's the most important part of the Signal Chain obviously, an Ola is irreplaceable.
The EVH is the tightest and most brutal amp IMO. I love these amps ❤️
yup, EVH doesnt need any overdrive to tight the gain
for this music the EVH is the best choice
The difference is so subtle between the amps. It’s more the grain of the distortion, maybe a bit of the overall eq, but not worlds apart by any means. At least in YT land.
Absolutely right ! The Amp is more about the distortion, the dynamics, the feel etc. The Cab and the mic placement are way more important ! They define the whole frequency range !
what we like is subjective.... all of these are great... but, if I had to pick 2 amps... the Mesa Boogie Badlander and Marshall JCM 800.
Same
Son of a gun Same in other order. You got good ears dude
The key takeway for me: Be happy with the Laney IronHeart I have but get a few decent cab IRs for variety!
Sounded great to me. Seems like the dark horse in this contest.
@@CFChristian I was surprised too. But to be honest, if this wasn't a head to head comparison (pun intended), I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. 😅
@@sonicconscience 100%. Hahaha.

Let’s give props to Ola for being able to pull this great informative video off. Thank you!
To be fair it's not such a big difference between them... but I like Revv, Fortin and Randall Satan the most, disappointed with the Engl tho :c it'd be interesting to see 1 amp with different cabinets too ;)
The cab/speakers make most of the difference.
...guitar also not quite in tune 🤐
@@alteroccatv bullshit. Perfectly in tune, also it is an Evertune equipped guitar so no way it went out of tune
@@moonsuga Dude, if one tunes an Evertune equipped guitar slightly out of tune with the backing track, it stays that way. Just slightly sharp, that's all. No biggie, chill 😁
I agree 100 with your choices. Revv was best followed by fortin then Satan
That ENGL sounding so good. Juicy Chug. Love how well it articulates the low end.
I felt that Marshall for some really hit the spot and stood out and felt a little different however that fortin amp along with the mesaboogie were also really good
That Marshall had me on marketplace right after this video looking to see if there was one near me 😂 I agree the Marshall sounded best.
I felt the sound of Marshall and Randall Satan are really close
@@WeinanHu-zj4jk even when the mix is turned down and you check them in A/B comparison, it`s hard to hear a difference. Never would have thought that the SATAN is so close to a Marshall.
Less gain, more clarity...
The REVV did also I feel, both the Marshall and the revv
OOoooo that first EVH sounded amazing. When the chords had a little time to ring out, the tone really blossomed. That and the Badlander were my favourites for this riff.
I think Ola is one of the few UA-camrs who can pull something like this off. Hats of man loved it🔥🤘🏽
Pickups and cabinets are the real tone changers,all the new high gain amps are tonaly similar.
1 Riff 10 Cabs/speakers would show how much the cab/speaker effects the tone imo.
Loved that Marshall 800 sound! 🤘🏻🔥
EVH Fortin and REVV are my favorite sounding amps in this video.
Wow the REVV is insane !
rev was perfect! Loved the 800 in the mix, and that fortin is just dead on too
That Randall Satan and Fortin Sigil both sounded absolutely insane
woa, Fortin surprised me! This is a big sound for such a small amp!
The fact you were able to dial all these amps to sound so damn similar... props!
This was a great video. The Revv was my fav. Fortin SIgil and Randall Satan next (they sounded almost identical to me through my Kali LP6s). Pretty impressed with how that Laney Ironheart sounded.

Muddier gain without a boost. With a boost I'm sure it will fall in line a lot more, but still might be a bit different.
the Dark T error it is impossible to EQ. check my mods ua-cam.com/video/EZ5WH28eyIE/v-deo.html
i was glad i could hear particular differences, throughout the list; they are indeed well dialed for similar tone... most of the differences i could hear could be trumped by mixing decisions imho.
Ola actually used the Badlander for rhythm on Stars and Ponies! Not sure about the rest of the album though.
It lacked both character and definition tbh, the others left it well behind......
The badlander 😍😍😍 what a great video señor! 🤘🏽🔥
This just reinforces my love for my Marshall JCM 800. absolute firebreathers with the right tweaks.
I always though Revv amps were kinda a hype brand, but that amp seems the most consistent and well balanced to my ears in this demo. Glad to admit I was wrong!
revv is hype because they destroy everything else. the only good value high end tube amp imo
I’ve yet to hear a bad Revv tone, even from their distortion pedal!
I love this. THANK YOU OLA , for those learning what certain amount heads do to your tone this helps so much for people looking for new sounds

That was somewhat eye opening. And I don't mean that basically all amps (with some exception) sounded quite similiar. Thats the cab.

Revv, badlander, Fortin in that order. Next video would love to see 1 riff 10 boost pedals. I really think the orange dark terror would sound a ton better with a boost
This! Slap a tube screamer in front of them all and repeat the video.
An EQ pedal would also help the Dark Terror a lot, since it only has that weird Shape knob
Agreed , sounded very bassy on my iPhone.
@@Scrimshaw_DuBois42 to me all orange amps seem to benefit from a boost. They are too flubby for my personal taste but with a boost they tighten up and still sound massive at the same time.
The Evh takes the crown here! Sounds absolutely huge!
My favs were the revv, the Laney, and the jcm. To me they sounded the best
my top three as well. I found they had more note definition and less mud
Agreed. All of them had better clarity and more unique character than the others.
In order for me : Fortin, Revv , Randall Satan. They sounded substantially more ‘modern’ , to me. Great video!
I have the 60w Laney Ironheart. It sounds really good with a boost in front of it. Comes with an attenuator in it so you can get cranked tones at low volume too, it's a nice head for sure.
I came to youtube, literally looking for the best metal amp heads and this guy just posts it for me.
Google is definetly watching me.
Laney and revv sounded more up front in the mix and crisper like an apple by them selves.
I've had an ironheart for 7 years and its an amazing amp man.
same, those 2 sounded the best for me
Yeah Ironheart is probably one of the most versatile high gain amp out there and you don’t have to pay a ridiculous amount of money compared to a bunch of these amps
Boost that Marshall & it takes them all with its brutal growl!
This also reaffirms that most tone is in the speakers/cab. This is still awesome, and there are slight variations. To me, the Revv and the Fortin had the most clarity and punch. It sat so well in the mix.

Fortin, Revv and the Satan - the presence cuts above so well with these. Bass is controlled. Superb tone.

Revv and the other Randall were not my cup of tea at all, they sounded “broken” like there was distortion and saturation happening in the wrong places. Bad lander was sick, and probably my 4th favourite!
Great video. I love shit like this!!! For me, top 3 are the JCM800, Fortin Sigil and then the Revv. The JCM surprised me. Has such a great top end.
To my ear Revv just done the things right. But I was surprised by Fortin Sigil, solid and powerful. Even went googling :D sadly it's too heavy for the size and underequipped for the price.
Love the comparison, especially love the ABBA-style keyboard backing track beneath all the sick riffs...
I’d like to hear more of that Fortin amp, I thought it sounded very nice. But overall EVH is my favorite
The riff is KILLER man!!!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love these kind of things, so fun to hear the differences etc!
My favorite were the RG100, JCM800, Mesa and ENGL. I like the deep ballsy sound. The Fortin , Orange, and Revv were too bright and thin for me.
The EVH and Satan were in the middle.
Hey Ola, an appreciation, the riff is so refreshing, not that tight deathy metal as usual :D This is nice. Love the keyboards!
Mesa and Laney sounded best! Laney is so underrated! 🎸
They're incredible workhorses. I used to swear by my old LV100. So versatile, and relatively inexpensive.
1 amp / 10 speakers would be great next 🤘
Really surprised with the jcm 800 that sounded pretty killer amongst all these beasts!!
Can't pick a favorite they all sound pretty beasty that riff fucking slays man.
🤘🤘🤘
Yep, the old Marshall is still the king.
That Marshall JCM 800 and Fortin were awesome
Maybe Solar Amp in the future
The Dark Terror, Marshall, and Fortin seem to be the ones that felt unique of the few but this shows that the cab makes the biggest difference here. Still a really cool test
1 amp, 10 different cabs, pretty sure that would sound massively different than 1 cab, 10 different amps
this ^^^
I came here to say this.
You would hear a major difference then.
Love this series, definitely want to hear more of these! 🤘
Awesome way to wake up here in Colorado. Metal on !! 😀
Everything sounds almost the same lol. Goes to show that tone is 95% dependent on the cab and mic placement.

And then it happens, that I dial in the 6262 with my solar AB1.6 to get a sick Metal / Hardcore / Metalcore tone but after switching Guitars, i recognise that there is way too much Bass for my Hagström UltraSwede... So, I could work with compromises or Focus the 6262 on the solar and the 333xl on the Hagström.
The sound in the end is always a mix of everything. Guitarists (including me) tend to focus too much on the amps, but in the end amps are not interchangable or unimportant. They are as important as the guitar or the Cab.
Love this!! Badlander rules! Lets see 1 Riff/10 guitars or 1 Riff/ 10 pickups
Those v30’s really shape the sound. I think a cab with mixed speakers is the way to go, like how Friedman uses greenbacks and v30s.
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
All sounded good but the Engl savage & the mesa badlands took the cake IMO.
Dude! The only thing more badass than this video is that riff. 🤘🏻😱
I could listen to this on repeat all day. What an awesome riff ❤
Chilling out, dreaming away then the Revv comes on. WTF Love it.
Also noticed the bass guitar frequency in the mix with that one. The Satan 50 was great too
The JCM 800 and Laney commands respect. That Revv sounded pretty cool as well.
Very educational video. And done well. Thanks a lot!!!
I like the Marshall, the tech and the Randall satan the most
Love the Rev in this example, sounds very tight wow!
What a great idea Ola! Well done man. They all sound good! Haha
the JCM800 sat so well in the mix. that amp is a powerhouse.
