Same here, you can edit the hell out of a demo if you have the right equipment. I for one don’t have any fancy equipment and I want to hear honest demos that are raw and straight to the point or else I end up buying something because it sounds amazing on UA-cam but then sounds like shit in real life.
Close micing is not polishing, it's real life scenario. And room micing doesn't sound anything like being in the room. I don't know why so many people think it does. At least do it with a dummy head mic at a realistic distance (1.5 to 3 meters). Anyway, if you're serious about music and sound, your amp will end up being close miced. D'ho!
On Love And Sublimation: You got that right. Burn My Eyes was actually the crunch channel with a Boss boost pedal to tighten it up, believe it or not. I’ll have to try that sometime. I usually go straight to the lead channel.
the Bass Translates extremely well, when you say "thats alot of bass" and in the rec it sounds thic but kinda flat the listener cant really realate, but in this video everything was rumbling so id say very good job at the low end. makes it easy to "feel" the amp alot more than usual 😄
Hey Ola, fully on board with this. Primary application for gear is to plug in and enjoy not mic'd/mixed out the bag. Maybe discuss how you might EQ it for room Vs a mix?
Not sure about having a specific series just for this, I think just adding "room vibe" sequences in your regular demos is enough. But loving the idea, since most of us will never record anything! :D
I like the new series, because this way we'll get new demos of amps that he's already covered with close mics. If he only adds room sound to new demos going forward, we'll miss out on so many great amps.
I don't know about this idea Ola. I watch your videos because you are good at representing the sound of an amp- especially when you show the range of controls and harmonic content a particular amp possess. Its all relative because most viewers are listening on their cellphone speakers- which does not account for the actual feel and dynamics of playing an amp in a room and getting an idea from the real life response of it. Its a hard task to translate. Your original methods of capture are great and influence thousands of people on what to buy and gas over. Always appreciate your efforts and humor, much needed during these bleak times- thank you!
I fuckin' love this! Probably one of the best formats on the internet, where u go to learn before u buy and get absolute bollocks from hundreds of videos. Ola-is-da-man.
I think your one of the few youtube guitar player/reviewer that shows interest in giving use the true tone of an amp or guitar without lots and lots of post eq processing. I know you've done that a lot of times already but its great to finally see a change of pace, and to see someone finaly addressing this problem. When i want to buy an amp or guitar i want to hear what it can do. and not what it can do with a ton of post eq, rendering the entire video useless.
Man I think that is a really good "in the room" sound!!! I have the Peavey 6505+ and that is a very good representation of what a Peavey is famous for !!! My Peavey does have that famous "HUMMMMMM" without a gate , is that something you want to show? I know its not ideal but it is a true representation. Overall a solid 6/10 would watch another for sure
@@Jaymerism Same here brother. I have a 5150 ii. They say first impressions are everything, and my first impression of that 5150 ii after the first chug was "FUCK YEA!!"
I talked to a tech from Peavey and he said that the 6505+ is the best of the best of high gain without a doubt you can’t get better in terms of the gain stages and flexibility of tone ,better than the older block letter because they have the ability to have the other channel . I love mine to death, And yes I have a gate in the loop takes out hiss of amp with nothing in front.
This translate perfectly to smth like a Helix to get the "amp in the room"-feel. Two IR's in parallel paths, one as standard close up and one that captures the room or the back of the cab. Blend them to preference and enjoy the amazing tones :D
Basically that's Ugritone's TrveCab IRs loader, it has 2 IRs that adds room and amp noise to the equation, very very realistic. Anyway amp sims are all pretty much useable, the difficult part is choosing the right IRs, that's where the 80% of the tone is
@@incitatus634 The method that he mentions doesn't work with the usual IRs (haven't checked Ugritone's, though). They never capture the room. The "room IRs" always sund just like the close-up IR, but more muffled.
Sounds AMAZING!!! This sounds like I'm in the room with the amp. I know when recording guitar we don't get the bottom end or the sound of the cab moving because it kills the mix. So this is perfect for us who just love the sound and feel of an amp in a room.
i love recordings with a room sound. i hate it when guitars sound too up-close. i think that's why i'll always prefer a classic demo sound over a polished album.
Ola,I have the same EVH signature 5150 and yesterday, and well everyday is a in the room day here at home..going through my 4-12" with V30's and GT12-75's in x-pattern the whole house rumbles..its a beautiful feeling !! I like this series,keep it going !
Ola's comments are the best... "When the Room is moving, you know you're doing a good job…" "Noise gates are for pussies!" He always makes my day better, thanks Ola! I like the separate mic idea!
This is a great idea for a series... Giving us as "close a feeling" as we can have to being there in the room with you. Thank you for taking the time to do this... thumbs up!
This is a great idea. The mics need to pick up more of the high end frequencies than the rest of the room though. The room is where you get the low end and boomy feel of the amp, the "ears" should be picking up the higher freq to give it clarity.
This is exactly what I wish all amp reviews included. The room sound/feel is just as important as how they sound mic'ed up for recording/mixing. I would love to see more of this or at the very least bits of the normal demos done in this fashion!
Wow! It's perfect... don't change any of the locations of the microphones. I can't even hear the vibration of the speaker cabinet, it's perfect. Don't add microphones don't take away any microphones, great work!
Hell yes....Finally ...Thats exactly what I been looking for. Amp in the room sound is the one im always trying find when Im researching new amp. Thanks again
Your reasoning for this video series is awesome. I’d like to share kind of a reverse experience for myself. Sometime ago when I first started recording guitar I had a bit of the opposite experience. I would spend so much time tweaking my rig and absolutely loved how it sounded when jamming and writing songs. Then when I started recording it I followed all the traditional techniques but couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Long story short I got a quick education in how a microphone on a guitar cabinet is a totally different sound than the guitar amp in the room. So then based on a friend’s recommendation I started using boundary microphones like they do for theater performance. It’s an interesting sound and it does get the room sound more. It lacks the punch and oomph of a microphone right on the guitar cabinet so really not the best for a tight recording.
This is the best way to do this. Not only do i want a 5150 but this makes me want a fortin . Never heard of fortin before. But sounds amazing. Especially when you gave individual sounds from each mic. Brilliant.
I literally just talked to someone about how great of an idea this concept would be. This is the best series to come out in a long time! Finally accurate to ear in room reviews!
The good news is that these are relatively inexpensive. Should be able to buy one for under $1,000 easily. But these 100 watt amps are stupid loud, so you’d need to get a load box to crank the amp and not go deaf. I think Peavey makes a 20 watt version that won’t get the cops called on you?
Totally, it is a whole different animal, a spiritual experience perhaps, to hear glass tubes pushing real speakers moving air in the room you're actually in. With the amp being right in front of you, the sum of all the frequencies produced by the speakers are all there in their splendor hitting your ears directly. When you mic an amp, you're honing in on just some of those frequencies (case in point, the most important eq step in recording guitar is mic choice/placement). It's interesting to think how engineers have historically tried to best capture the sound of an amp, typically with one dynamic mic. The room also, of course, can be a musical factor in the guitar's sound, coloring the sound for better or worse. This could be an incredibly insightful series on micing amps, inspiring many of us to reexamine how we record.
This is a great, great idea. I'm just a bedroom player, but I have a Savage 120 mk ll with a 412 Pro. Lots of people have asked me about it in the US as they are difficult to get here. I can't explain how massive it sounds, and a video like this would help them tremendously!
Outstanding! This was extremely informative in various ways. I appreciate the familiar equipment as a reference and the mic setup made it WAY easier get a feel for your room sound. Thanks and I hope you make a ton of these!
Small condenser omni reference mic is great for getting a very true in-the-room sound. If the reflections are too much, a boundary microphone on the wall gives you the same impression without so much cloudiness. Depends on how many hard surfaces youre dealing with.
1000% Support this series and other amp demoers need to take note. Far too many times the "true" sound is lost. I've listened to an unbelievable amount of boutique grade amps reduced to static and shrill sounds and it just doesn't transcribe to us, the viewer. Great mic placement too, Ola. Really felt 3D. Cheers!
Thank God !! FINALLY a demo that will give you "real life" sound! Only thing I would change is maybe set a Mic about 10 feet in front of the amp, about where the main camera sits. Beyond that, a very SOLID 6/10! Keep up the awesome work, Ola!
I really like your demos. Great intel on the products available on the equipment market. To hell with the haters. They probably record on laptops and have 1-10 percent of your experience and skill. There is NO replacement for a great guitar and amp conbination that not only sounds great; but, moves the hair on your arms while you play. Rock on Brother!
You can hear the natural boomy sound that the amp pushing air actually gives off. I’ve thought about this before. So happy you’ve got all the gear to make it happen
this is VERY good idea. You know, I've noticed that many young guitar players, whos experience is mainly with digital sims actually don't know how the real amp should sound in the room so they can mic it up properly
My guitarist has used this amp for about 10 years, i've listened to that amp every week for 10 years, i have to admit, this is the first time i feel a video has represented the sound of the amp! I think all the mic's engaged gave the perfect result, while soloing one mic at a time gave a sound which is uniq for that specific mic. You could probobly do some adjustments of the mic placements, but i don't see that necessary. Spot on Ola, u are awsm 🤘
Holy shit this is what I’ve been waiting for my entire guitar playing life. EVERYONE demos amps by recording them in a daw and then mixing/mastering of some sort. Love raw room/live tone cause that’s all I do.
very good idea! we have to much polished sounds of the amps in YT. this is the right way to compare amps. i´m looking forward to see the differences between the amps coming.
As someone who is definitely more concerned with how things sound in the room, I like it! No video can ever fully capture the gloriousness of playing in front of a 4x12 (even at home at reasonable volumes, I still think it's unbeatable), but I think you got as close as you can get.
I think it’s great, I like the idea, kinda gives some of us that don’t have this gear a idea or understanding of what we could expect. Also I really liked the lightning set up and change in this video. Kind of refreshing. 🤘🏻
Dude at last!! This is one of the best ideas you or anyone else in the demo -review community ever had.Extremely looking forward for the next ones. Again well done bro , I'm so excited shit!!
i love it ola this is amazing!!! i work in room acoustics and worked as sound engineer... the only better way i know is to use dummy head with binaural recording(2 mics) in the room where the guitar player play,+you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on the head and mics, 500$ head and mics will do good job
HAPPY MIDSOMMAR TO EVERYONE!
Desamma 👍 och fantastisk idé tycker själv att de är bra att man kan höra hur förstärkaren låter påriktit utan mix
Glad midsommar, weird that I got this in my subscriptions again even though I've seen it already.

Hope you get to chill and spend some family time!
Happy Juneteenth!
This is exactly what I’d want to hear when looking for an amp and not a polished demo of it, I love it!

the only way to demo an amp is to try it out yourself, youll never hear the ‘true sound’ otherwise
Can you also put a mic in the room next door to hear what the neighbors would hear?
lol
😂
That’s what the mic behind the cab is for!
YES Ola, as a muso who spends most of his time at home in his room playing this is super super super helpful!
im right with ya bro\m/
Gotta say the Peavey 5150 has one of the finest chug tones of all time.
It's a great amp. The 6505+ is even better.
On Love And Sublimation: Yes.. the pluses are tighter for those tighter chug chug chugs!!!!!!
@@Kevin.Kelly. Exactly. Would the Burn My Eyes album even exist without the 6505? I can't see how.

The best thing is to have a bit of both..
Love it. It illustrates how all high gain amps with down tuned guitar sound the same.
This demo made my whole desk rumble, loved it.
More please Lord Ola :) Room sounds of amps would be awesome. Raw tone to give an idea exactly what the amp/cabinet sound like
This is a good series for practice amps which are used mostly in the room and not for recording. Yamaha THR?
I agree a lot.
That's how an amp demo should be ! solid 6/10 Ola

Build a face, set it about 5'10" high, maybe 8' from the cabinet, and put a microphone at each ear. Hard pan L/R. Call it... Ola Face Method.

Surprisingly this combination of mics captured how amp in the room feels. I played 5150 enough, sound is recognizable.

I think it’s great, I like the idea, kinda gives some of us that don’t have this gear a idea or understanding of what we could expect. Also I really liked the lightning set up and change in this video. Kind of refreshing. 🤘🏻
Absolutely God-like tone. The 5150 is and will always be legendary at riffing and fat, chewy, tight lead tones
I love the shot! I wanna use it for my videos
Dude at last!! This is one of the best ideas you or anyone else in the demo -review community ever had.Extremely looking forward for the next ones. Again well done bro , I'm so excited shit!!
i love it ola this is amazing!!! i work in room acoustics and worked as sound engineer... the only better way i know is to use dummy head with binaural recording(2 mics) in the room where the guitar player play,+you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on the head and mics, 500$ head and mics will do good job
