Might be super obvious for some, but not for all! This is for you guys, have a great weekend!

I've completely given up on finding band members, so this is basically how I intend to move forward in creating my own music. I very much appreciate all your videos, man!

[johngialelis]

I love how Ola is always showing love to the Revv G3 👌

[TheHeadown]

I could listen to The Haunted riffs all day long

[akrocanth]

First time I ever tried to record to a DAW by myself, back in 2005 I think, someone had given me a copy of Sonar to mess with and I definitely plugged my Metal Zone directly into the 1/8 mic input on my computer's sound card. Good times.

[gabrialharris]

Recently discovered the DS-1 is actually really cool as a preamp, would be interesting to see it done this way

[bee]

I love my metal zone! I've used it for years and it's never failed me. I'm a sludge player and it brings a wide variety of beef! Lean.. ground.. and chunk!!

[gruesomecthulhu]

The revv pedal sounded really nice. This is how I record my guitar as well basically. Been playing through an Orange combo and ts9 overdrive through an ir for about a year now.

[ulek]

I recommend the Ibanez SM-7 Smash Box.
Old, criminally underrated and very powerful distortion with noise gate.

[dvilman]

2:36 Hard to believe the sound is created without a real amp. I just ordered a regular MT-2 hope it pairs well with my marshall SL-5 and Gibson LP standard

[haronstn]

The Metal Muff sounded better compared to when it was plugged to an amplifier.

[robertporter]

I did this in old days when using 4-track Tascam cassette recorders and it worked great! Z.K.

[CryptToneMusic]

For anyone who has an Orange Micro Dark like me, you can run the FX send into your interface. Just plug a dummy cable into the headphones output then run the FX send to your interface and mind the master volume on the amp, set it all the way off then gradually bring it up. Been doing this for a while and prefer it over all my plugins

[laxrrs]

You have a great weekend too, Ola and family! This a great vid. So many wonderful options. People don't have to wait for big ass awesome amps... they can START RIGHT NOW!

[thakyou]

Thank you and you also have a good day! I just figured this out about a week ago when I bought my first distorsion pedal ever. That moment was like "Damn, man! all I needed was a freaking pedal!!! If only I knew this earlier when I started playing..."

[wondervalleyexperimental]

Hi Ola, did you know that you can load IR's into the space designer in Logic Pro X? I tried it with a free IR from Celestion. It sounds great! Your channel is wonderful. A carnival of edutainment!

[DammitCartman]

i never would have thought of doing this. thank you Ola!

[thorazine]

Going to do this with my HM-2 for massive facemelt tone!!

[Bernz]

I used to do this back in the day….. Boss DS-1 right into a Tascam Porta One…… yeah….. I’m old as dirt…… lol

[peterrovaniemi]

Why not use a free poweramp sim as well? Like the ignite TPA-1, or free clean channel from Ignite as well. Peeps should try that as well with the pedals, if they find them lacking in some aspect that is.
