![Rig Rundown: Megadeth's Dave Mustaine & Kiko Loureiro [2022]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VEGdTLt0igs/mqdefault.jpg)
Dave Mustaine Gibson EXP baby! Also my album Starzinger turns 1 Year Old today!
You can get it from www.olaenglundshop.com
Hey Ola, 1st of all THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH for using the JVM410H to do the test/review as its "supposedly" Daves choice of Marshall amps these days and also uts the amp i have 😃
Now i think the "Megadeth" tone you had in this clip is absolutely BALL TEARING and i was wondering if you could please share what channel and settings you used so i can try them on my JVM to try achieve a similar Megadeth tone when im jammong their tunes, pleeeeease 🙏?
Thanks in advance, legend.
I dig the saxophone in the outro
that combination of Marshall and Gibson sounded awesome! Need to see more of that JVM please :D
Brother you nailed that riff man...I hope I would able to play it at that level 👏👏👏🤘
I just ordered the Starzinger Ultimate Edition and Metal Morning shirt yesterday 🤘🤘🤘
I’m actually blown away that you opted to do Holy Wars and went all the way with it it in a full mix. It sounded fucking perfect.
He should do that more, the 'Ola riff' is a meme but it does make me forget how well Ola can play the classics if he just plays the same 3 riffs when testing shit.
@@IrLosin Would love to ear the full song like he does for the Pantera covers ! Sounds killer !
Agree with you, Ola nailed the tone !
what? It's really not even that close to the original tone at all, at least not on the album version. His version sounds way better than the original album tone. The original is very heavy on the attack with not much bass or harmonic content. Ola's is much more saturated, a lot more gain, and just overall sounds more interesting.
@@TheEpicLinkFreeman right but not the same tuning (lower here) and 30 years earlier it was an bomb released...
Not gonna lie, that Explorer head stock looks pretty amazing on that Flying V body.
imitating Jackson works I guess
Too bad the owner of Dean passed and his son is ruining the brand. That’s why Dave and so many artists jumped ship.
Its like an old epiphone ive got . The body is a little shorter though ( shorter wings) but it has that same shape head
Like the incredibly rare XPL series from the 80s. I think that’s the best shape of the V right after the 1958 original. One piece body and an explorer headstock, no pickguard. Trash perfection
Form follows function...Gibson Marshall combo...what could be better
When Jackson meets Gibson:
“Hello V, meet the real V.”
Haha nice one
Brilliant!!
Very good! 👌🏻
We got the reference 🤘🏾
thats actual true similiar fret markings and similiar but no exact neck head
Gibson sells....but who's buying ?
🤘🤘
I guess we'll never know.
@@nikolametal2001 Who knows man
I have 3 so me I suppose.....
After all these years, I still think of Dave as a Jackson player. I was finally getting used to him playing Deans and now hes playing Gibsons lol Damn nice looking V though. Dave gets what Dave wants.
He’ll jump ship and be off Gibson soon enough too! 😂
Ain't that the truth lol
Ha... if Dave got what Dave wanted, he'd still be playing Jackson. He wanted to buy the company back when they were sold to Fender, he was denied.
jackson. i always saw him as a bc rich player lol
@@hughneutron5303 Wow. How long has it been since Dave played a BC Rich? 1982? I never make that mental connection. When I think BC Rich I think Kerry King, Chuck Schuldiner, and Trey Azagthoth
Love watching videos on guitars and gear that I can’t afford
same here 😂
Yep 👍
Word
Yessss
Get a better job???
That's definitely one of the Gibson's I could consider buying, however Kramer's take on that might be closer to reality because of price and esp. availability. And honestly I think Kramer's V-shape reminds me more about Dave than that Gibson, but that might be just me.
Dave always played pointy V's. He played King V's, and this is a Flying V. It's not just you.
Not sold on it, I like the solar look by far would love to buy one
Took my limited edition Gibson sg olive drab USA SME exclusive 4-6 months after ordering, I can only imagine the wait times on these! I do dig this v a lot, think they should offer one with Floyd rose. Oh and slap on grovers on ALL Gibson... My Gibson has some pretty crap vintage kulson tuners, they feel like a toy compared to my normal epiphone non lockers grovers
True
Does anyone know when the Kramer version is coming out?
24 frets on a Gibson V! Excellent. And it can be yours for a mere $2800! What a bargain! Sounds epic. Not much of a V guy, but you can't argue with tone.
Results and tone may vary. ;)
@@rockarena666 paint quality may vary too as Glenn from SMG can attest to lol
Gotta tell ya man, your sets are always so fucking good. The giant curved wall of stacks is next level from what the rest of the guys on UA-cam are doing.
Absolutely love the sound of this setup.
You made the intro look so effortless, not just to the songs like the whole intro bit. love the content, KEEP IT UP
Sick guitar.
One of the best I've heard you test.
Been a Megadeth fan for years and is the main reason why I love metal and have found other great music like your own. Really enjoyed this review.
Probably the best guitar tone you got so far! ❤️
been waiting for this video, thanks, beautiful V, love the simplicity and that headstock
Amazing tone, man! I'm so happy to see this channel and where it is going to. Keep chugging, man!
Dude, Awesome video! Dave Mustang‘s always been one of my favorite and seeing one of my newest favorite guitarist playing Megadeth it’s pretty bad ass🤘
That’s some pretty stellar jävla shredding there Ola!🔥 A joy to the ears!
Wow absolutely beautiful! Beautifully demonstrated as well!!!
First time watching one of your videos. Awesome playing and sound! Thank you.
i gotta give it to Dave with this one, I've never even thought about owning a gibson, but this guitar has the power to sway me. Most hilariously... Dave Mustain is bringing Gibson into the "new era"
I'm actually very impressed with these. I expected nothing different from the usual rehash Gibson puts out but Dave actually got them to do something different. Really cool.
Heck yes I've been waiting for this moment
Never get tired of watching you shred.
Definitely got Dave’s live tone down, I got a Dean Peace Sells sig model at the house and it’s really awesome, Dave always has a knack for putting out great signature models.
The Holy Wars cover sounds great! Like, if it had come out in this time, that's what I imagine it would sound like. Great mix.
Damn, the tone and mix on this was just phenomenal!
Instant like! Love this version of his v. Thanks for the holy wars and the tone \m/
Probably this is the best intro of the channel this year! Love it man!
What song is it? I agree.
@@andrewescobar434 holy wars.
LOVE my Gibson!! Best decision I ever made.....prices can be steep, but they hold every inch of it.....always have, always will, that is the reality.
Those inlays are sick!!! They really make the look of that badass guitar!!! Not to mention one of my favorite headstock shapes! (The old hockey stick shape)!!!
I'm only 30 seconds in and all i want is a full Ola cover of Holy Wars! Holy shit Ola!!! U crushed that...more please.
Ola makes my day always 😁 Thank you bro. I'm not a fan of Gibson guitars...but this one is sick. But I always loved Dave Mustaine's King V's by Jackson....and Deans are awesome too.
That was awesome! That tone was sick too
This sounds absolutely amazing
That Marshall JVM sounds amazing.
Outrageous playing and great demo as per usual. My only wish was that you demoed the other pickup as well.
That rig is so cool! I love how that v looks
great panning on the intro, never listened to you playing on headphones before
awesome sound, cool guitar and amazing playing man! I just got 2 Gibson USA's in the last year my first as well. Dave Mustaine for sure should do a Coffee w/ Ola!!!! Tell Kiko to get him.
Love your videos!!
Killing it Ola! Great opening! 🤟
Jvm sounded good also!
That intro mix - damn!!! Loved it
That JVM with those pickups is killer!
Ola, your mix is sick AF. I know you are a metal distortion god, but we need to give you credit on your sick Bass tone. Especially how it sits with the drums. Please do a video on your bass tone!
You nailed the riffs and tone! Good job. My favorite tone on this channel so far, but I am a thrash guy, hence the bias.
That was AWESOME!
I waited 6 months and finally got the silver one. It's a really great guitar. I love the 25.5 inch scale and 24 frets. The quality is really good, especially the nut and fretwork. No issues, plays really well!
Great pickups!
Awesome playing Ola!
Great Combination!
I think you just sold out the *next* run of the Dave Mustain sig V with your playing and tone. Sounds incredible, man!
Man I've seen a few reviews so far, this guitar does not only sound the best with Ola, but the color is great, of course that's the camera, lighting and maybe some color grading. I'm more of the Hetfield fan and even with Het's silhouette everywhere and name on the pickup, I would never buy it because it's Gibson, but it does seem like a fine fast downpicking instrument. Great review!
beautiful guitar
That's one hell of a beauty and heads up playing!
The tone is killer man; i was kind of anxious about him leaving dean at first but the guitar turned out alot better than i expected
The tone is awesome in this one! Nice setup. And what a gorgeous guitar! Gibson should do more guitars like this.
Fantastic review. I can totally see you were with the tightness/chunk of the pups. I love the V with the hockey stick. I’d go as far as to say it looks better.
I’ll never get tired of you slapping your hands on every intro 😂
You didn’t get lucky, Gibson has been working so so so hard to improve their QC and I think it’s gonna show with these 2021 builds getting in people’s hands. I’m part of the response team for the QC kick outs so I’m responsible for weird issues a guitar has before it’s finished, so I may be biased, but i and the whole team hope you like the guitar!
Watch the silver one that smc got. Piece of shit
This guitar is sick af I really want a Dave mustaine V of some type either a Jackson V or the Gibson I’m not sure yet, I wish that Gibson gave this a pointy headstock like the Jackson’s. Either way they all sound great. Ola does this Justice as always putting it through it’s paces
If you want the pointy headstock then just go for the original Mustaine Jackson or even Dean 🤷🏻♂️
I personaly love that they put the Exp head on a V 😍
Would like better upper fret access though!
@@Alexanderzzzzon agreed, I dig both Jackson's point, but also gibby hockey sticks also
@@Alexanderzzzzon Good luck getting your hands on an original Jackson. It took me 15 years to get one & a wire transfer to Argentina. The whole deal took 6 months to complete. UPS charged me $534 shipping! It was worth it in the end, but I don’t know if I’d go through all that again. It took a LOT of work.
@@NinjaRunningWild Seems like it's hard to get some guitar gear to South-America. Not that hard in Europe.
Dean has a signature dave mustaine V but I'd rather get the jackson king v, dave has been using jackson king v's for years and jackson has king v"s ranging form $330 to $4,200 I'm kinda biased since I own a jackson king v myself but it's your choice on what guitar you want I was just saying that a jackson king v isn't a bad choice.
Sounds great, Ola
sounds perfect.
Man. That Marshall JVM fit for Megadeth riffages😍
What a sound punch. Directly in face. Nice :)
So glad you did it through the JVM…
What a killer sound!!!
I'd love an Epiphone version of this!!
Hey man, that f1ck5n tone KILLS!!! THOSE CHUGS complemented by your cool playing are really cool!!!
Fekking awesome Ola 🤘
Incredible sound
I can see the quality in this piece. I wonder what it would sound like with a JB and a Jazz in the neck for Lizzy, Zep, VH Type hard rock. I think it would be killer
If you’ve mostly been playing your dad’s jazz machines, or 50s-modeled gibsons, those are necks are a lot bigger than most Gibson necks. I have a 50s Les Paul and two studios, and the 50s one is bigger than a Tele neck.
Love the return of the JVM! 🤘
GREAT review Ola!!! Now I just spent 3 grand on that guitar cuz of your review. Love it
I remember back in the day when you hadn’t even really given Megadeth a chance really or gotten into them much. Now look at you! 🤘🤘
This setup sounds so good. I'd riff all day with that tone
Sounds so good!!!
That setup sounds brutal !
I'd love to own one but Ive been cursed with being a lefty 😃
So...you´re not quite... alright?
Same! 🥲
Flying V of any stripe is not my cuppa tea but yeah being a lefty is a proverbial pain in the butt
or you could jimi hendrix it and have to deal with a weird looking reverse headstock
It's Not a curse Brother.
Never regret Being a Lefty!!
Thats that thrash! Curious what channel on the JVM and settings you had dialed in for this playthrough. Sounds great!
I'm going to say OD 2 as the mids are more scooped. Probably the red mode as I can't see Ola using any tube screamer. But having owned a jvm for a lot of years the crunch red mode with a tube screamer sounds very 80s thrash. Hope this helps If Ola doesn't get back to your comment?
@@darrenc8776 Yeah thanks man, Probably an OD channel. Noticed the "absence" of a tube screamer or boost ...sounded really good. Just wasn't sure of the mode on the OD ,,,if thats red liked how it sounded for sure!
Great video, would love to see more JVM on future videos
Super nice sounds!!!
Few people treat playing someone else’s music as well as Ola does. From getting the tone right, to playing the actual notes, to playing them well. I feel you respect the songs.
(A cover can either be a carbon copy, or a proper your own take. But it should never be just bad or sloppy thing.)
Hell, I’ve even heard you cover Iron Maiden and it sounding good. Maiden covers usually just sound terrible.
Ola is a real clean and precise player. That sick metal tone has much to do with the fingers and not much to do with all the gear…
@@petermuller161 Yes, he should sell all the gear and just use his fingers.
@@shelbyavant5081 I'm pretty sure the man sells all the gear!
Looks cool, sounds good, and seems like Gibson may have made a guitar that stays in tune. But, for me, the best part is the life-size Dave silhouette on the back of the headstock.😂
I really like that JVM into Greenback combination! Would definitely want that myself :)
Also, that Thrash Factor sounds soooo tight aswell!
All of them together sound so perfect for thrash :)
Love all your videos man! \m/
The tight response also comes from the distance from the pickup to the bridge. On Gibsons that distance is smaller.
That doesn’t really make any difference. It’s a sophistry. The distance to the strings makes an obvious difference. Beyond that, it’s just how hot the pickup is.
I am honestly offended that they did not put locking tuners on this guitar. Besides that, I like it. And great Rust type tone in this vid!
I second that
@@razorcola5434 Now that’s a first...
Locking tuners make re-stringing so easy. Just lock the string in and tune it up. No string winding.
@@ExtremeSal He is a very unique person with unique views that differ from literally everyone else.
@@ShredHeadJHJ lol
nice sound, I love the JVM
Nailed the tone!
Totally nails that sound....
But.
I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Epiphone or Kramer versions which I guess would be more in line with people's price points.
Only Gibson Flying V I would buy. Great features, especially the Fender scale. The alignment of the controls is a little weird though
Meh. Personally the short scale is one of the things I like about Gibsons. Less tension. Also, those controls are exactly like his old Jackson signature, and the Dean models had the same set up. They look fine to me, but I also have an old Randy Rhoads myself so I'm used to them in that configuration.
Sounded great ola like these videos I really appreciate the no talk video with the effects and pre setting for the boss katana well worth the money 👍 getchapull tighten up
Fantastic sound
Hopefully Gibson has improved their quality control issues under their new management. They still need improvements in the area of marketing and making guitars that are accessible to young people like Fender has done so well in recent years. UA-camr Rhett Shull did a good video recently on the subject.
Interestingly, quality control issues have long been a subject with Fender and Gibson. During the 1970s, people were scrambling to buy 1960s Les Pauls and Stratocasters because they were better than what was being made in the 70s. Nowadays, a Gibson or Fender from the 1970s will cost you a pretty penny.
Anyways, sorry for the ramble. Cool guitar and the JVM tones are sick \m/.
I feel like Gibson QC has always been spotty. My favorite guitar is my Les Paul and I have Japanese Ibanezes, USA Fenders and Carvins, etc. 90% of the gibsons I’ve played have been great, but about 10% have issues that they shouldn’t have at that price. Moral of the story is try to play the Gibson you are purchasing before exchanging money.
That Rhett Shull video is nonsense . He saw a post on the GP and just made a video about it . Gibson is selling guitars faster than it ever has and can't make them fast enough . If youngsters aren't seen with them it's because of $$$ nothing to so with the desirability or reputation .
@@2216sammy I appreciate your perspective
@@Olsen-vp5vg True
When Gibson really tries, they seriously make the best axes on the planet by a long shot
Wow. That is absolutely the best looking Mustaine signature guitar I have ever seen. I CANNOT wait until Gibson releases Kirk's new model and James new model.
That sounds GREAT
the guitar and playing
