I would like a 1 Riff / 10 Cabinets as it makes such a huge part of the sound

[OlaEnglund]

Request what you would want to see for next video! 1 Riff / 10 guitars? 1 Riff / 10 Overdrives etc? Let me hear your suggestions!
EDIT: fixed the timestamps. Sorry!

To me this just reinforces how the majority of the tone of a rig is in the cabinet / speakers. The Dark Terror was the only one that had a particularly different tone to it out of all of them. All of them had their own subtle 'characters' but very much came across as variations on a theme.

[ChuckNicholsonTRM]

My takeaway is that Ola really knows how he likes to dial in an amp. The overall similarity in this mix is remarkable.

[tbo.]

EVH, JCM800 and the ENGL were the stand outs for me, they just cut through the mix the best. Those 800s have just stood the test of time. What an amp!

[firestorm]

I think this just demonstrates how important it is to have an Ola at one end of the signal chain. 👍

[shinjial]

The difference is so subtle between the amps. It’s more the grain of the distortion, maybe a bit of the overall eq, but not worlds apart by any means. At least in YT land.

[sonicconscience]

The key takeway for me: Be happy with the Laney IronHeart I have but get a few decent cab IRs for variety!

[karlblanchette]

The EVH is the tightest and most brutal amp IMO. I love these amps ❤️

[rockstarcoder]

what we like is subjective.... all of these are great... but, if I had to pick 2 amps... the Mesa Boogie Badlander and Marshall JCM 800.

[daniel_naaden]

honestly, this video made me realize that with those Solar guitars and those pickups, no matter what rig you'd play through, you've got a signature sound and I absolutely love it! Me, I'd love to see a "1 RIFF / 10 GUITARS" video to see just how differently you can mix up the tones. Great video, Ola, I love your content!

[abhayprakash]

I think Ola is one of the few YouTubers who can pull something like this off. Hats of man loved it🔥🤘🏽

[ankigonzalez]

That Fortin amp sounds actually really good

[ubmastering]

That ENGL sounding so good. Juicy Chug. Love how well it articulates the low end.

[clutch]

Pickups and cabinets are the real tone changers, all the new high gain amps are tonaly similar.

[vcferry]

Let’s give props to Ola for being able to pull this great informative video off. Thank you!

[Take-the-Ticket]

OOoooo that first EVH sounded amazing. When the chords had a little time to ring out, the tone really blossomed. That and the Badlander were my favourites for this riff.

[rustyfuzz]

The low end on the Fortin Sigil is amazing. Super punchy

[setra]

1 Riff 10 Cabs/speakers would show how much the cab/speaker effects the tone imo.

[harveysanchez]

I felt that Marshall for some really hit the spot and stood out and felt a little different however that fortin amp along with the mesaboogie were also really good
