Dean Lamb said that he would do a 'Coffee with Ola' 😃
3:07:04 - On his latest 5 hour livestream.
Make it happen Ola! 🙏
Nice, thanks for posting this.I hope Ola sees this.
Dean is a MONSTER and such a cool dude. That would be sick
Please !
This would be awesome!
I recently got the black spirit floor. Love this amp. Portable, lightweight, sounds good. The floor model even powers my cab without the need for an external power amp. No tubes hassle. Perfect for me.
Hello do you still have this amp? Was thinking about getting one.
@jesseparrish9198 Hey, I noticed you didn't get a response. I have one and it's great! I still use some pedals with it for certain effects and easier use while playing, but you don't have to. I plug into a Headrush 1x12 cab/PA speaker. The Black Spirit can be used at 2W, 20W or 200W, and my cab is 2000W. It's not always easy to find a 200W+ cab that's affordable. But the Headrush sounds great and is very affordable. Also at 2W it's great for playing at home and it's easier to travel with than bringing a big combo amp when jamming in a band. Extremely versatile!
@@dw1784 thank you I appreciate your input and knowledge. It sounds like it's an for me for sure. Kind of tired of scrolling through menus on modulars lol.
@jesseparrish9198 I should mention that I have the floor amp version. I forgot to mention that. It's the exact same amp, but it has the footswitches built in. It's better for playing in a band. You can get the footswitch pedal for the amp head, but then it will likely cost you more money than the floor amp because the separate footswitch is expensive. Either way, check out the demo version by Rabea Massad. He really dials in these amps. It was his videos a while back that really helped me decide that this was the amp for me. He has videos of both versions of this amp. His ear for getting a great tone is amazing.
@@dw1784 ok I will watch his video. Thank you for your help.
Damn, the blue blow of Hughes & Kettner amps is so majestic. Definitely a crowd pleaser along with the incredible tones it has. - Also that Misha guitar is fucking gorgeous, love the finish on it. - Great playing as always Ola! Cheers
it definitely blows
Great tones? Where? I had a Grandmeister 40 and couldn't have been happier when I was finally able to get rid of it
@@michaelgriffin5304 tone is subjective. Guess it just wasn't your thing. Nothing wrong with that.
Really vibing with the amp unlike the majority of the comments! Me likey some sludge!
Also they are baxandall like pots, hence turning one frequency affects all frequencies!
I’m glad I’m not the only one. This tone could work really well for sludge or doom.
Sounds like slipknots tone almost. could work with some gojira too
Yes, me too! Really chunky, sledgehammery sound, me like!
Me too. I think most of the commenters want that higher gain sizzle. I liked the voicing of this amp. Has a nice boxy growl to it. I think it would work great mixed with another amp. It would fill in the frequency gaps.
@@endofanera1983 tight tones are popular in modern metal. 🤷♂️
8:27 The Drapery Falls
Honestly...that amp sounded terrible except for the cleans. I would like to see you do the EVH 5150 III 50 watt 6L6 head. I have one and wish to see an Ola take on it.
Definitely needs to do this
This guitar sounds killer through an EVH 5150iii 6L6 50 watt!
ua-cam.com/video/W46XQ-grJEc/v-deo.html
@@myers210 Eh... that 1x12 cab definitely isn't doing that 5150 III 50w any favors. It needs to be played through a good 4x12 and a few pedals.
Yes, I have one as well and would love to see what Ola does with some effects pedals and his guitar of choice. I saw he did a video with one before but it wasn’t for his own channel, which i feel would give him more freedom.
Not gonna lie That tone was really muddy and bass heavy and lacked the high end sizzle that your normal tones you like have.
It's funny, when he played it on "WILL IT CHUG", it sounded great. But he used a different guitar and cab.
@@PetarJovanovic993 and different mics. I think this might be the first time we saw an sm7b on here?
Could be muddy stock pickups. I want an all in one head cause my rack is heavy, but never a fan of H&K voicing.
It’s the cab, they are THICK ! Have to sparkle them up a bit I have found.
@@j.reveille6815 I was thinking that, the amp is bass heavy so the oversized 4x12 is not the best choice.
Almost every time a metalhead says "that sounds awful" me be like "dude that's great punk rock/hardcore/crust punk tone".
The room cam sounds better than it all mic'd up
inventing genres to suit shitty guitar tones now? remember children folk,classical,country,rock,punk,hard rock,metal these are all the genres.identifying any others is like identifying as an attack helicopter disguised as a dickless man.
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Lol. Yeah because punk rock, hardcore and crust punk dont exist. And they never mix. Remember kids: metalheads dont understand punk. You just have to check how they cover the songs.
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Oh and i didnt mean to mix them in my first comment. I was reffering to different cases.
New RIG OF THE WEEK, trying out the H&K Black Spirit 200 and Jackson Pro HT7!
i love the jackson
Hey Ola, I was listening to Master Of The Universe before I saw this video was uploaded! Gonna get it on vinyl, it’s beyond amazing 😉
The weird effect you are getting with the Bass is its acting like a Tilt EQ Dual Rectifiers do the same thing
My tubemeister 18 does the same thing with the mid and treble
All I can say is... I'm glad I got the PRS MT15.
My friend has one of those. Fantastic amp and amazing value.
im so jealous, im still keeping my eyes open for one in my area, that amp sounds so killer
Me too man I love my mt15
Me too but my mt15 makes noise when I turn it on lol
@@lordcuddlebuttz3336 Try Zzounds or Sweetwater, do the pay as you play option, that's what I did.
Hey Ola, regarding the Treble effect - most likely this amplifier is working with active equalization instead of passive equalization as in most amplifiers - this tends to totally overemphasize the frequency you are setting in with the knob, pushing other frequencies out of the way.
The Peavey XXX works in a similar fashion (active EQ blocks) schematic-wise. By the way, that might be worth a rig of the week as well.
Absolutely, Peavey XXX or Peavey Ultra Plus if Ola hasn't tried one yet. He'd be shocked about the heavy tones.
I have never been able to get just the tone I want out of my xxx. Is there a certain eq setting that i should try?
@@johngloom9235 : I recommend trying an eq pedal through the effects loop, which is how I ran my Ultra Plus amp. You can definitely shape your tone more. However, you may need to eq differently in a mix; sometimes the tones I like when eq'd solo are fairly different than what sounds good with other instruments playing.
@@Rushtallica thanks for the tip! I'm going to have to try that!
Yeah, it's weird how much being in a mid changes the tone of your guitar! A lot of the frequencies get drowned out, which is really too bad!
"Will Ola with coffee chug the faq out of the rig of the week"
Distortion has balls and grind I like it. Everyone else in comments just wants to use the same 5150 axefx patch. Oh I figured out why now. It's tube emulation so everyone is hating because it isn't tube or axefx
Nah, I've owned HK. They are muddy and fizzy almost no matter what you do
Sick amp, I own this and have owned most all other lunch box amps. They’re all gone, this one stayed. Heavy AF with my Engl cab.
Something sounds a bit off in the recording... could the two mics possibly be out of phase?
Suggestion for Rig of the Week:
Mesa Triple Rec
Non-Mesa cab
Fortin Grind.
Why a non-Mesa cab?
mesa best cab
@@tylersemyazza because it sounds all the same in every video?
@@tylersemyazza Because why would Ola use a cab that has been the industry standard for 30+ years! /s
@@tylersemyazza Because Ola has been using his Mesa cab a lot lately, we all know what a Mesa+Mesa can do. Change it up, make it more interesting, add a different flavour. I have no problems what so ever with Mesa cabs, I just want to throw something different in the mix. See what happens.
The EQ is counter intuitive. They all work in conjunction with each other. So if you raised the treble you will have to adjust the mids and vice-versa
Ola...your new studio looks cool and professional but sometimes it appears to be a bit too dim. It would be nice if it is a little brighter so can also see the gears you are demoing better.
On the ultra setting it does what my Crate amp used to do and acts like the Shape nob sounds pretty heavy.
Sounded best at 4:57
when's wig of the week ?
when micheal angelo batio is available ;).
"Huge" and Kettner!
Randall cabs!
Tacos are pretty awesome.
so are you 😉😳
My four year old says thank you for video music. I will learn about it all day, and dream about it all night!
You gotta try Synyster Gates signature schecter, I'd love to hear what you think of it
Sick guitar. I like it.
@@ezequielserrano6197 she's wicked 😳
Sounds pretty decent I must say. I think we need a krankenstein rig of the week. Or the krank revolution that dime used since he was robbed of using the krankensteins. Anyway I love the rig of the week series 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey Ola, I really liked that you switched over to a far camera and mic, it lets my ears consolidate to two sounds (close and far). I would vote "add that always" for 'Rig of the week'. Cheers!
I love the sound of a high gain solid state. Ibanez tbx 150h. Ampeg vh140c ect. I seriously want to try this amp.
Jackson HT7 Misha Mansoor Jason Richardson Edition? lol
Love that guitar. Looks amazing not a big fan of the amp but that's just my preference. Remember folks music is like food we all enjoy it. just some people like it spiced and cooked differently.
You can make a $200 guitar sound good if you want
Hi ola. Love the rig of the week. But I reckon adding a short full mix of the rig would give a great indication of how it all sounds, even a 40sec clip. Similar to Pete cottrell. Keep up the great content.
Maybe the EQ works like a baxandal tonestack, turning one knob affecting all frequencys.
Was thinking the same thing...or it's a weird active EQ.
I think you may be right.
Ola seems to do a lot of knob twirling and he noticed something is up. Good call!
H&k make a tube amp like this
It is really heavy not 5lbs
MacAlpine says he uses the Tube version in studio
5lb amp live
Id use another cab with this amp
This series is great for inspiration for possible new amps to buy! I like your "guess that tone" also.
This is arguably the most 'different' you've sounded. Could it be the solar pickups that are the reason that you get accused of always sounding the same?!
Kay almost indefinitely the pickups. They are intrinsic to his sound
I love this series Ola. Have a great day.
Whoa. Right as I was wondering what the room sounds like, we get a down-the-hall camera.
Listening to this on my Adams A7s and it sounds pretty nice. Def reckon a OD going in would help, sounds a bit tubby and not that tight in the low end. Sounds better when soloing that riffing to my ears.
You should share your black spirit preset, you’ve got that thing sounding amazing!
Beautiful rig, not sure if it was just the mic placement being slightly off or something else affecting things in the mix, but I tend to agree with some of these comments. For a rig that costs THAT much (I'm in Australia btw), that would be super disappointing to me if the tone outta the box was like this.
Everybody’s saying this tone bad, but I really dig it really crunchy
It might be just me, but I get mid-90s Ibanez-era Petrucci vibes from this setup, but just a bit lacking in the treble, and less tight in the mids.
The tone is not that terrible ! Just different from what we are used to with Ola. I could easily imagine a band using that tone
Do a Solar in the neon orange colour (with black hardware) Jackson use for some of Misha's guitars! I love that colour.
I want a Black Spirit they are around 1000k. Not bad for all it does
What one mans Hot Garbage is another mans Hot Diamond. Love what i am hearing however i plan on getting the floor version.
OMG a NON Solar guitar? :D Sounds killer... but I like my amp head to actually fit the length of my quad box... call me old fashioned :D
The Treble / Mid thing actually sounds like something maxing out. Basically, with the treble down, there is enough power to push all the mids through, but once you bring up the high end, the amp is overwhelmed with highs and cuts out pretty much everything else. It's almost like a compressor / limiter function, but seemingly related to the maximum amount of signal that the amp can handle at some point down the chain. I would say that the amp overall sounds a little stuff and compressed, which may be the issue.
No.
It doesn't work this way.
Obviously hughes and kettner control digitally what happens in the tonestack, but most amps follow the usual fender tonestack.
In that case, you can think of the treble as the final send control...
Or a tilt, or mix control. What you've dialed from bass and mids goes through the treble pot.
How it's mixed (treble is a hi-pass tone filter in essence) depends on the caps and resistors.
But what the mid control does (or how high it goes treble wise) depends again on how the amp maker chose it to be.
To give the whole picture, imagine the settings ola used.
Mike Landeau uses them as well. They work on a JCM 800, soldano or mesa boogie dual rectifier:
The bass and mids can be set to reach out to 4,5 Khz, (mids dimed).
The treble control is then dialed to zero.
That doesn't mean ZERO treble it means, you mixed the balance of the hi pass filter and what the other two controls did to the side of the bass/mid pot.
So, it STILL has treble and it is the area the mid pot affects and it sounds pretty damn good and round to be honest. It's a great trick and you still have the pressene to add some sparkle.
So if you have some quality time with some of these amps, dime the mids, adjust bass to taste and have the treble control "zeroed" which means the sound balance is tilted to the other two controls. Adjust pressence and enjoy.
Them chugs at 2:30 were blastery
That H&K seems to change the Eq function as we change the mode on it, just like the old Line 6 BOGNER Spider Valve that I have. Once setted up you save your setting assigned to a channel and enjoy the day 😁🤘
Great Amp that little BlackSpirit 200 with many option available 😜👍
Plz, orange dark of some sort, and in front or in loop, eq,tubescreamer. Very interested in what your setup would look like.
Ola maybe the treble knob on the ultra channel is designed like that to keep people's ears from bleeding when they tweak the EQ, like rebalancing the frequencies internally so that nothing becomes overbearing and removing some frequency content from the highs may leave some headroom for the mids? maybe it's a set multiband compressor to maximize the output on that channel?
Hey Ola, you should do a "versus" series. A/B Two amps, or even more, so we can realize the differences between them
I have an H&K GrandMeister Deluxe 40 and i love it.
Are you gonna bring this segment back Ola ?
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
Sounds like something’s missing. Not really doin it for me
Please don't try to talk to me I am too famous i am too rich i am too important
AxxLdont worrry
EVH 5150 III 50 or 100 watt with EL34 Please! Must use at least a 7 string!
A long time no playing another brand guitar Ola.Suprise to me.
Really like that you tried out the jackson!
don't they make a black spirit amp in pedal format? I'd like to see if you can make that chug. I love ENGL and enjoy Hughes and Kettners. So, I like german amps? I want to play a black spirit and hear it for meself...
I think it's moreso the guitar and cab than the amp that sounds so swampy. I played this exact amp through an H&K cab with an LTD Eclipse and it sounded absolutely flawless. Could be that it doesn't play nice with the 7 string? Maybe the pickups? IDK.
This amp has a really dirty tone. It's not bad though. Reminds me of early 2000s metal bands.
10/10 for including room mic !!
I've had the grandmeister 40, same muddy no balls distortion sound Ultra channel. I returned it next day. H&K said they are working in fixing this issue so hopefully the next release will improve the distortion
Hi Ola, the EQ on the amp is working like my Tubemeister 18. When you boost one of the knobs, the other knobs seem to cut away. Took me a while to figure that out! I actually like that it does that.
I would love to see a Dual Dark in this series
Best amp I've ever bought. Also best used with TS9
Loving these, brother! I'd love to see what you'd get out of a Taurus Turbo H-130! They are rare amps, but deep and interesting!
Who doesn't love the sound of a 2003 cheap multi FX board!
Love built in noise gates. I’m lazy like that.
Ola, you should try different cab speakers out too. Saw a vid of speaker comparison its amazing how much they will affect your tone.
This is my dream rig basically. Only that I would trade in the Jackson for an ibanez rgd
The same man!
Poor guy. Go listen to some other amps because I've owned the Grandmeister 40 (Which this sounds similar to) and they just aren't good. Super fizzy. You'll struggle constantly to get a good tone. Glad I was able to ditch mine and get a Rivera Clubster Royale Recording Top. Stomps the absolute Sh*t out of the HKs.
Michael Griffin I have played many other amps, which I all liked equally, and sure, some sounded better than this, but functionality and price beat the living shit out of the other amps in my opinion. I usually played them thru a peavey windsor cab and that solves the problem with it being fizzy... I had the same problem with a grandmeister through a h&k 212, but I must say, the black spirit is waaayyy less fizzy than that amp
@@thedutchdjentleman nah they sound very similar, I've listened to an A/B. Seriously, check out Rivera you can get all of the same features with better tone and a far better build quality for basically the same price. I use all sorts of different custom cabs and speakers with the HK as well. Believe me man, your better off buying a Katana instead of the BS200.
Looks like I'm the only one that really dig the tone. xD
I for one thought that tone was ballsy as hell. I loved it lol
Not a rig I would want but man, the H&K looks sick
@Constantinos Ioannides That I like a lot!
This one's not my thing, but always cool to watch Ola.
👊😉👌 Nice guitar color scheme. It sounds amazing.
The amp is fine, it's the stock pickups in the HT7's that are garbage. Dude just needs to offer a signature in the $1500 range with his actual pickups.
The demand would be too high, BKP couldn't churn out that many pickups that quickly
Like mark does for 900
@@KeyanHoushmandLive That's fair, I hadn't considered that.
I was wondering how much it was the amp, and how much it was the guitar. Sounded muddy and muffled with no sizzle.
I agree. I want to swap the pickups in mine. Thinking about a Pegasus/sentient setup.
Ola your hair looks extra-fabulous in this one.
He should sell his own brand of shampoos and condtioners.
I had to play one in a competition to get to play at the Tuska festival and i really hated it! Doesn't sound any better on this video either :D
Question: have you had any postage issues with US customers buying Solar guitars? E.G. customs being a pain, out-of-country billing issues, things like that. The last one happened with Thomann and I'd like to make sure I actually can buy the guitar before I jump on one of your Vs
Hey Ola, you should check out the Blackstar LT Metal distortion pedal. It sounds really good but I want to hear you mess around with it.
Sounds like that head doesn't have enough power for those low tunings...gotta slam the front with some drive to stand that slouch up.
The noise gate can't remove the burp though
Question about micing the cab...is there a reason why you use 2 different mics and is there a specific combination of mics that works better?
I love a little fuzzy sound of it.
Holy shit Ola plays Jackson
I think H&K should put less features in their amps and get the basic sounds right again. There is so much blue light effects and blinking going on and so many channels and reverbs and choruses and flangers and what not. Just give us a nice clean channel and a nice diezelesque dirtchannel with seperate EQs and add useable reverb and let your world class build quality do the rest. Done. You've got a bestseller.
then the triamp is for you
Presence has left the building
Hey Ola! Good Rig test this week! Do you by any chance still own your old Bugera TriRec or 333-XL(Infiniums?) I just bought 333xl and would love to see an update
I just am not a fan of the tones from Hughes & Kettner stuff. Only time I ever heard someone use their stuff and like the tone was John Browne. Every other time just not my think. Sounds choked off and muddy to my ears. Now as far as the guitar. Would LOVE to try one of those out. Looks really really nice.
Question for Ola.... Do you think/feel that you could play in a tribute band with anselmo and brown and do a GREAT job? I feel you can given you are a huge fan of dimebag
I LOVE my Black Spirit 200... It is beyond easy to take around with me, and it sounds unreal for the cost! I will never sell it or trade it... It is a keeper!
I got an ad for toilet paper. Metal AF
Ok so I went back and watched your vid with the H&K Grandmeister 40. It simply sounds superior! Hands down no comparison. Once Ola dials it in sounds like typical Ola tone to me... Lol Which is ok or I wouldn't be here👍
do i hear some decapitated at the start? really great showing of some sick gear; i love that tone. seeing you on a 7 string is always a good time.
hay ola just picked up a really killer dean camo guitar sounds sick But not as sick as ur solar guitars and which i have not seen here in US need places to get them here im not sure what the prices are though
You should add a EQ pedal to the amp just to brighten it up a bit.
Ya, it's way to dark.
The HT7 has a Basswood Body - its a shity wood
Tons of guitars use the same wood. It's just wood. You're nuts
Wait, does that mean that you wear shoes sometimes ? You're not rocking the socks life 24/7 ?!
We dont wear shoes inside our homes in Scandinavia, but since this is an office I can see why he does now.
I have the HT6 i love it!
Ola. Have you ever experimented using multiple amps together in a room simultaneously for recording? I've been using a 3 amp rig and it creates just a massive wall of sound even at the lowest volume I can get crazy harmonics and feedback for leads and micing the room sounds huge. This might be something to try now that you have more room.
Rate my rig- Here's my rig rundown.
I start with a strat, a TS808, and EHX silencer gate, (but there's also a whammy a touchwah and a jet driver pedal) then the pedalboard goes out into a Soldano JCA high gain 100 watt tube head and then into a 2x12 orange v30 cab then the signal splits off from the pedals into a digitech pedal that does some nice modulation delay and reverb effects in stereo which goes out into an orangemicro dark hybrid tube amp into a Marshall 2x12 cab (left) and then the right side goes into a Peavey Delta blues deluxe 30 watt tube 15" open back combo amp. The Soldano amp has a skysurfer reverb in the FX loop, and the Peavey has coil reverb, I keep those reverbs set low but noticeable and lower on the Soldano amp. So basically between the five speakers and three amps all having their own sound and the split signal path where one is mostly dry and the other has more effects... It basically builds a whole wall of sound like 3 seperate guitars playing through a massive stack. This is basically that holy grail tone I've always wanted but couldn't figure out. Mixing beautiful digital processing on one side with the full analog high gain crystal clear tube tone on the other side and being able to have different amounts of gain on either side (and also at the three amps) gives a ton of tonal variety. Might be something to experiment with.
