That's pretty much what all of the KSR amps are. Heavily based on the SLO/5150/Rectifier family of circuits. I had a Gemini and Ares for a while and they're dope.
This is one of the best amps I’ve heard on your channel. I bought a custom Vesta from them and Kyle was awesome to work with. He contacted me personally when I had even a very minor issue, which turned out to be user error and not an issue at all. Great company!
Kyle is the man. He makes awesome amps and pedals. The jumper change he logo’s light color. I have a Orthos II 100W and I purchase last month a PA50+Ceres bundle and that’s a killer rig
Dear Ola! My Solar 1.6 pb etc just arrived, and is a kickass shredmachine!!! Two hours since i tuned up the axe and i triggered my neighbours!!! Thank you for your work, for your passion. Hope to meet you somewhere!
Yeah not focusing on the NFB control was a let down in this video. NFB is a powerful tone-shaping tool and changes the feel/timbre of an amp a lot. Wish he had played a bit at various settings.
KSR amps generally get way too little attention. Played a couple of their amps and they sounded fantastic. Wish they were more readily available in Europe.
It's honestly one of the best distortion sounds one can hear anywhere. I guess now it's time for manufacturers of (moderately priced) digital modelers to catch up with it.
Everything from KSR is just so different... Nice to see Ola trying to wing it and being lost LOL. KSR amps are so different, yet the (super short and brief) manual explains it really, really well but you have to try it to understand what is really intended for the device to do. The best advice for anyone would be to get the small Ceres preamp and connect it to an 6L6 power amp and a favorite cab or maybe a cab emulator. At first there is just so much gain and you really need to learn what to listen for. I think the best device to get from KSR to start is the Eros pedal. It will change the gear you have into anything you need it to be. Actually, buying an Orion or a Titan is insanely expensive if you live in Europe. EROS boost pedal+CERES preamp+PA50 power amp however is probably the best amp you can get anywhere for any money with such surgical shaping options.
Jeez Ola, that amp sounded good as soon as you started playing before you even messed around with it. Can't wait to get some $$$ coming in again so i can 1) buy more Solar guitars and 2) checkout this amp. cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
Hola Ola! To this day, which is your favorite amp head for metal? There are so many options and I would like to know your personal preference. Thank you!
Sounds killer. While I wouldn’t worry about this as much with a KSR amp, I do have a little bit of concern about the servicability and reliability. Generally when you cram that many channels and switches into that small a package, they’re a service nightmare for techs which means more money you have to spend to get it troubleshot/serviced just due to time involved. Mesa mark series being among the worst for that. But again with it being KSR I expect it is built a lot better than a mesa. Cool amp.
i don`t like these newer kinds of small box metal chassis design at all but this one looks sick imo 11👀 but still prefere the EVH 50w stealth when it comes to price to performance ratio, this little bastard is hard to beat imo. cheers 🎸🎸
That's for the KSR review. And playing on a Solar guitar that shows sold out everytime i check. I would like to see a T model FR Solar pink no pickgaurd and gold or black hardware!
This is actually an interesting amp. Sounds nice in this demo, has a lot of features and a fair price. I'd like to try one but they seem relatively rare in central EU.
Ola! I hope you will do a 'Will It Chug?' episode for Laney Leadtop and Laney Dualtop! I'm sure it chugs, but of course, we need to hear it from the legend Ola himself!
Goddamn! That sounds good. Looks nice too. I have three Joyo banTamPs that I have mounted right on the pedal boards. I love 'em. Ya gotta crank them a bit because as is common with tube amps they sound fizzy at low volume. I might have to look into this.
The sound with OD engaged is just amazing. Good that it has internal load, bad that it doesn't have MIDI controls. IMO Revv G20 is still king of the hill for broke ass guys like me who always need to carry their shit in their hands. This KSR is for home/studio purposes or some bigger touring guys wishing to wipe off a few kilos from their stuff but take real amps with them.
The thing about Kyles amps are that you can get ANY tone you want. He's an amp genius like no other!
aside from clean LOL
@alessandrofidanza nope. You can get pristine cleans as well.
@@TedintheShed nope.
Fack cleans 😂
@@OkayyyIGetIt I can't speak on the Orion, but I have a KSR Orthos 2 and it has a completely fine and independent clean channel. Covers all bases.
How great is it to be Ola, making guitars, interviewing guitar legends and trying out cool stuff to chug, love you Ola 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Snagged one of their vertical 2x12’s and was blown away by its quality and their customer service. Great seeing them get some love here too.
That thing sounds vicious! Like a blend between a 5150 and Dual Rec.
That's pretty much what all of the KSR amps are. Heavily based on the SLO/5150/Rectifier family of circuits. I had a Gemini and Ares for a while and they're dope.
So somewhere between a modded SLO and another modded SLO. Got it.
@@FourT6and22 why’d you get rid of those 2? and what did you replace them with? currently on the fence
@@no.mids.brando I build my own amps now. KSR makes good stuff though.
@@Swodie_Jeetin or between a modded Marshall and another modded Marshall. Or Fender baseman,, same..

All three channels sound the same AMAZING.
That's an amazing sounding amplifier...the best so far for ME
Dear Ola! My Solar 1.6 pb etc just arrived, and is a kickass shredmachine!!! Two hours since i tuned up the axe and i triggered my neighbours!!! Thank you for your work, for your passion. Hope to meet you somewhere!
$1,799, Made in USA, 4 channels, ~50 watts, 28 pounds
Also the NFB knob all the way down is the loosest setting
Yeah not focusing on the NFB control was a let down in this video. NFB is a powerful tone-shaping tool and changes the feel/timbre of an amp a lot. Wish he had played a bit at various settings.
The gold hardware on the red guitars is just so damn good! I would choose neither alone but together is another story.
One time Ola told me I was an idiot. I will forever cherish that moment. 🥰 Nice amp btw. 🙂
I told Ola on live chats that want to be like him when i grow up, Ola was so disappointed and said i dont know what to say hahaha
KSR amps generally get way too little attention. Played a couple of their amps and they sounded fantastic. Wish they were more readily available in Europe.
YEP! Have the CERES, PA50 and EROS, and HOPE the amp available in france or germany in current shops
As if we need more shit to buy
@@GOICOBA Amen brother! 😆
KSR is one of the best.
They are available in Europe. I ordered my Orhos II 100W from Guitar Candy Shop in Belgium. 3 months wait but that’s normal for a custom shop amp
It's honestly one of the best distortion sounds one can hear anywhere.
I guess now it's time for manufacturers of (moderately priced) digital modelers to catch up with it.

Love the Forever Old jam at the end!
KSR Amps are fantastic, I love my Orthos2!
Was waiting for this!!! Thanks Ola
Wooooo...the number of knobs and switches!
You missed the NFB knob which is huge has to do with the feel negative feedback knob
10:14 brutal riff...!! 🤟🏼
I like how You played Lords Resistance Army! 🤘🤘
Jeez Ola, that amp sounded good as soon as you started playing before you even messed around with it.
Can't wait to get some $$$ coming in again so i can 1) buy more Solar guitars and 2) checkout this amp.

switchable loop channel assignment is sick
Thanks Ola for the demo of this sweet amp! Take care brother.😊
YES!! Less gain = a tighter sound. THAT is proper amp design! 👍

@@K707OR30 it's actually extremely easy to service Kyle definitely keeps it in mind when designing stuff
love the Skynard at 7:23
That is a great looking amp! Very industrial design.
Love KSR.
Can basically feel this amp warm
up here. Nice.
Love my Orion
Took that lunchbox straight to church..Dang son. 🤘🤘
"This is tight and nice." --Ola, 2023
I immediately said "that's what she said", right after he said that 🤣 😂

This amp is a beast!
Been eyeing this amp since launch.. getting some popcorn...
KSR top of the line ,wattage, great live, I’ll bet .
Good Ola.
This is actually an interesting amp. Sounds nice in this demo, has a lot of features and a fair price.
I'd like to try one but they seem relatively rare in central EU.
Looks like a tool box ,love the design
just bought you baritone 7 strings guitar...
*HOLY F***IN SH***T !!!!! WHAT A KILLER GUITAR !!!*
sounds like my carvin legacy 3 head after doing the brite cap mod to the master volume pot! lol. and the 808 into it makes it so close!!!
Ola! I hope you will do a 'Will It Chug?' episode for Laney Leadtop and Laney Dualtop! I'm sure it chugs, but of course, we need to hear it from the legend Ola himself!
It sounds f'n great and would suit a wide taste of metal/deathcore.
Killing some riffs
Never heard of these amps. They sound really good. The price point isn't too bad either.
$1800 for a 45 watt wat do u mean
@@mojoe8005worth every single penny. Trust me. 😉 it will kick a $4000 45 watt Marshall head down the road.
Actually, 60w. It packs two 6L6GC and each one generates 30w of power.
For a tube amp. Not from a major manufacturer, its not bad man. @@mojoe8005
That sounds killer
this one sounds awesome!
7:56 tone is filthy
The shirt gives a immediate sub.
Goddamn! That sounds good. Looks nice too. I have three Joyo banTamPs that I have mounted right on the pedal boards. I love 'em. Ya gotta crank them a bit because as is common with tube amps they sound fizzy at low volume.
I might have to look into this.
I'm still cranking my MT-15...
How to get more bass on amplifier? The amateurs; just cranking up the bass knob like this dude bro.
I always like and appreciate „testing shit“. Isn‘t it how everything started.
Thank you for this Chanel.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥COOL☠️☠️☠️☠️
Nice video as always :) What about checking EVH 5150 III stealth 50w?
I enjoy listening to you playing everytime, even if you were playing a pita with choco. But this one should be available in the '80's imo 🙂
Very cool sounding amp.
I'm digging it.
the sound at 10 min sounds like biohazard - The punishment intro :D play some hardcore ! u know u want to :D good work Ola ty for the review !
They don't give these away !! but they do sound awesome
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
The top is always more invasive than the bottom, Ola… 🤘
Ola, would you mind putting the guts in another box and sending me the housing to use as a mailbox? That would be killer!
The NFB to make it even more tight or more compressed
(negative Feedback)
It can play Feared for sure :)

Would love to see this compared to a Fortin Sigil.
At first it was ehhhh, Then the overdrive pedal and WOW.... That amp shines with a pedal pushing it..
finally i can go ahead and order, its Ola approved amp 😊
Ola “Extremely Chuggy” Englund 💪💪
Ol'e Ola - kick ass review
Yeah, new video❤
Doesn't Ola have the best shit money can buy? 🤘🤘
Olaaaaa guess what time it is 😂 time for me to tell you again to review the peavy valve king on will it chug !!
This amp definitely follows proto. Keep them jeans high and tight Ola!
I feel like buying one of your new S by solar explorer type guitars for I can have a Hetfield guitar in my artillery
haha is so cool when Ola for fun
proud owner of a first batch orion
Ola is very very powerful, powerful and the tone breaks the space as if when an airplane is flying and reaches the level of the speed of sound
SONIC BOOM!
Does it weld TIG or just stick?
Killer riffs
Not diggin the lights in the eyes for this one, Oly ;)
Looks like a Hilti toolbox 😂
Sounds great 🤘🏼💪🏽
KSR does it right, are you going to try the 100watt head with pedal? 👀
Tight
It's another box that goes brrrr. 😅
Sounds Good 👍👌🤘🎶🎸
damn ola what speakers are in that cab?
I've yet to hear a KSR that doesn't sound AWESOME and mean as hell.
If the nWo Wolfpac came out with an ozone generator it would look just like that amplifier.
🤘❤️🤘
We need this amp as plugin 🤩
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!! MY BROTHA!!!!!!!!!
Sounds pretty mean for a sub $2K amp! 👍🏻
new video idea does the song orion sound good on an orion?
DAYUM!
