Dude I know I keep saying it again and again, but you’re really improving fast on guitar. I see that down picking man! Call me impressed. Also thanks for checking out the pedal 😂
@@donbishop6994 Nobody said it was. It's just a personal opinion. Are people entitled to those, or not any more? Whether they are "competing" or not doesn't take away from the fact that are similar in more ways than different.
I really do appreciate that you keep your mistakes in the video. makes it more human and, IMO, a lot more fun to watch. Love your videos man, keep it up! CHUG CHUG CHUG
Currently using an amp sim (apartment living) and this Chug pedal has certainly caught my interest! Splitting the gain like that got a sound that I'd really like to tweak and experiment with for extended range and drop tunings. I'm certainly going to replay this video back a few times this evening and see if I can recreate something close to the bite this thing can chuck out. (and huge shout out for showing the mistakes and calling it out - I wish more people left the mistakes in on guitar videos)
I record straight to desktop. A pedal like the Chug would suit my workflow pretty well. Even if I plan to re-amp and split the signal, I could record both, what I hear and a pure DI signal. Big advantage of such a pedal: You can record with whatever latency if you have a direct monitoring possibility in your interface, which I have (e.g. the small Focusrite, the small Behringer competitor, and probably many others), with this kind of simple setup. You just need a signal splitter or DI box and such a pedal. Totally sufficient for recording. Actually, this is also in principle the home recording setup of Misha Mansoor. So we can say it once again: "But Periphery did it!?!!"
Very cool, pedal indeed. this is definitely one of my favorite videos just because of number one, the editing is fine and number two, it’s a great sounding pedal and your plane has improved to the point that you can get the sound across so people can understand truly. Nice work very proud of you man. Fuck you!
I am using old solid state randall amps into a two notes torpedo captor. I primarily use their v30 cab or Ola’s Jaguar impulse response. This pedal would provide the much needed modern flavor that the older amps lack and I definitely would benefit from having it as a tool in my arsenal. Great video Glenn.
Glen you have so so so got way better playing guitar you sound so much better kudos to you and i watch all of your vids you do us muscians a great justice so thank you!! You keep rocking on
I've been eye balling this for awhile... Agree with Ola's comment, you're definately improving on Guit - I'd love to one day (when disposable income is a thing and all current gear is paid off) get a Chug as well as a Solar Guitar. :) All the best you lovely people.
The Chug knocks it right outta the park man! Wow! Sounds absolutely killer paired up with that beautiful Solar guitar, and of course those chunky wildman riffs!! Gotta love it! As for recording I use the best sounding option depending on the amp or device, all through Reaper, great video Glenn!
@@killertom8261 And here we are! You know, that was by far not the most brutal and powerful recording/mix. But it kicked ass. I had an Onkyo Receiver at that time with good loudspeakers. It enhanced almost every bad recording. This was at best amateur level compared to today's mixes. But the playing/feel/songwriting made the difference. I remember when it was released I thought the sound was massive. But it isn't, actually.
Im going old school no computer just amp and a guitar the solar chug would be the perfect edition to go with my solar guitar.. sent it to me man. I'm only just around the corner in australia 🌏 🇦🇺🤣🤣🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸 rock on Glen ur awesome love the energy you bring.
I’m currently recording through a boss katana into a computer. I really think the Chugg pedal would suite my needs, as I am in an apartment. Needless to say I am constantly on the search for compact sources of good metal tone. Thanks for the great review!
@@TheOnlyJoeyYT Yeah, that might very well be the case. But nontheless it seems like a great tool to get a good metal guitar tone at home and at volume levels that don't drive your neighbours insane.
Like the humanizing of this video! Maybe in the future show your flawless take and have a graphic in the corner showing how many takes it took to get there.
Since years/ages I no more own guitar amps! Instead I use an AMT SS20 Valve preamp, which as an output with an analog cabinet emulation. It does the job perfectly for my needs. 3 channel (clean, crunch and lead), super simple but effective.
Hey, Glenn. Glad to see you're enjoying CHUG life. I bet the Chug and Norther Mauler would sound awesome blended when quad tracking. Not sure if that giveaway is still happening but I'd like to throw my name in the hat so I can be one step closer to sick metal tones. 🤘
May have to snag one of these, also, i know you are on an island or some other adventure right now but your playing has improved my friend. Keep up the good work
07:54 This is why we love metal and playing metal guitar. It is fun and we have fun seeing how fun it is to watch you have fun playing metal riffs. ******edit****** fun
I record guitar from my room at home. Can't afford to buy my dream amps with my minimum wage job, but I'm really happy with the tones I'm able to get with some of the amp simulators that have been coming out recently. I've got an entire folder of IR's that I like on my desktop (some even made to replicate some of my dream amps). I recently bought an overdrive and a compressor pedal so that my amp simulator doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting, and I can tweak my sound to something that can't quite be recreated with a simple preset. I think the CHUG pedal would be an absolutely kickass and helpful addition to my rig, virtually eliminating the need for a virtual amp. Just my pedals and a cab sim! Thanks for reading, and fuck you Glen!
I record right to desktop, but I like to run my signal out through hardware fx chain and back in (just my set up, useful if you use software instruments too so the recorded track is an actual audio signal, if you like that sort of thing; tip from Ken Marshall). The Chug chugs! Nice work, Ola!!!
I was supposed to bye a Chug-pedal at christmas but the shipment was in 8+ weeks at Thomann so I went to a "what-should-I-do"-site and that told me to bye something else. I bought a Harley Benton Victory ABK just because you made it look great. So if you are going to have a giveaway you practically owe me a Chug-pedal. Kind of... :) Anyway, great job helping other guitarnerds finding the best ways to the perfect sound.
Have you seen Lee Sklars “ Producer Switch “ ????? It’s a switch on his Bass that’s hooked up to nothing and when ever a producer told him he didn’t like his tone he made sure to hit the “ switch “ change hand positions and carry on .😅
I'm using the Synergy system for my guitars, but that pedal would be really cool to give away to someone that doesn't have a setup already. It sounds awesome!
Great sound!! I have never been happy with my metal tone, using direct to interface recording. That painkiller sounded fantastic. I might have to have one of these!
I am recording straight into the desktop. We are using Protools for now. Although we are using simulators, that chug pedal by Ola/Solar Guitars would come in very handy when we're playing live and recording.
This is sweet Glenn. $199 is a good price. I use AmpliTube 5 and I have tried to dial in a good metal sound. Your IR works great, but selecting an amp and affects to go with it is can get a little overwhelming. I have some custom mods saved, but nothing that sounds like the Chug. So much for saving money when you bring something like the Chug on the table lol.
I’m recording direct. Never could afford a tube amp unfortunately (fixed income). I have a Spark which I don’t dare to record with and could do use a pedal like this! Anyway, the Chug sounds fantastic for this sort of application. I especially like the low/high gain knob function. Being able to take out the fizz without needing to high cut sounds awesome.
I'm using a hybrid approach, very similar to your setup with the Chug pedal. I've got my Marshall JMP-1 with a TC Electronic G-Force in the FX loop plugged into my audio interface, which is then going through a tube power amp simulation and an IR loader. Best of both worlds IMO, you've got an actual piece of gear, and you can play it though your headphones without bothering your neighbors.
Going through a tube amp and have been experimenting with different preamp pedals through the fx loop, well that was before I just had a baby boy. The pedal mo ey has become diaper money 😆😆. After this review, I hope to add this flavor to the rig someday. Great video, Glenn!
I record using a real tube amp - the technique learned from the channel. Thanks, Glen. I get wonderful results but it is not what I hear in the room the saturation always differs. I know I don't put my head to the speaker while playing like a microphone, also there's all the bone conduction and skull structure on high volume - Don't really know a lot about it :). But it will be cool to capture what I'm hearing sitting 2-meter away from the amp. Before buying condensers and more equipment it would be cool if you could give some pointers - if you find the subject interesting that is. Of course, I'm talking about high-gain distortion tones only :)
Love the video, only thing is your pedal shots were at a angle where you couldn't read the knob names. Just a little thing but whatever. Keep up the killer work!
Currently recording guitar on my iPhone using the built in microphone. My current setup is a 2013 Square Affinity Start going through a Line 6 Spider MK II. Send Chug pedal now!
Even the greats make mistakes. That is life we learn from our mistakes. That is a killer pedal, two pedals on my wish list is the Chug Pedal and the Northern Mauler.
I’d love to see a deep dive into bass tones- particularly sims, cabs, and the best bangs for you bucks in the plug in market. I have been chasing bass tones forever, and am getting really close to dumping my plug ins for hardware
I have one and have been using it like: Guitar > tuner pedal > chug > interface > reapers multiband x-comp > IR loader (with a blend of one of my own IR's and your newer V30 IR > cockblocker and it sounds pretty good to me Probably can't post the link, but I'll try anyway: ruclips.net/video/714bT-iJZOM/видео.html
Hm... i think this pedal looks and sounds great ! I am playing with digitech(DeathMetal pedal) and i was happy with it, till now! More Chug !!!! And Cheers u all!!!!
I use the Fractal FM3 for recording, which I am very happy with, but having so much options and features can sometimes lead to constant tweaking tones, having a preamp pedal/distortion box that can nail a good high gain straight out of the box is very convenient. Set it and forget it.. is what I go for now a days..
I definitely think that Chug pedal would help in some ways...I would obviously worry about Noise lev and on the amp side..I would try them all Tubes and Solid state and desk ..
Love the Chug. It is very desirable. Unfortunately it's not available through our local retailers. The noise gate would probably perform better with higher output pickups. Anyways keep chuggin'.
Thank you for your videos. What is the best way to teach myself how to play Guitar. What guitar do you recommend cheap or buy the one i want and learn on it? i found some used online for like 30-40-50$. The one o want is 100 new. Oh and i play lefty.
Morning😂 I like the Chug…got it as a Xmas present from my Girlfriend. I use it daily as an amp for practicing into a Seymour Duncan Powerstage and then the Harley Benton 2x12 v30 cab. Tight Setup and I dont need to run the tubeamp for short amounts of time
Honestly super impressed with the pedal. Every review I've seen has been a raving one. I like the idea of using the chug and mauler on separate guitar tracks. I think the variations in sound you would have access to - combined with a few good IR's - you'd never get the same sound twice. Very impressed and would love to get my hands on one someday. Keep up the great work with the fearless reviews. You've saved me £££'s this last year alone! so F YOU Glenn
I've been running a couple different distortion pedals direct into my interface and through IR plugins to record... its working pretty well to get some heavy sounds and the variety in distortions works for dual tracking. I may look for some saturation plugins to imitate a tube power section but, I don't feel I need to buy any amps right now to get tones to work with. Current chain is Guitar->ABY(for clean DI track)->NS-2->MT-2 or Joyo Uzi->Pulse IR->Valhalla SuperMassive Reverb
I’ve been listening to Glen for quite a while now. I don’t remember him saying he was just a beginner, or was soliciting encouragement on his playing. But maybe I missed those announcements since I see a lot of people commenting on his ‘improvement.’ So, with none of that really being known, when I see the comments like that, it really just seems inconsiderate. He is good, and has probably been playing most of his life. So, I would just say, “sounds great man!” Telling someone that has been playing for a very long time-but not necessarily aspiring to be at a professional level-they are getting better, seems a little strange to me and rude. Or the least, patronizing. Like you might encourage a kid that hasn’t been playing long. 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
Dude I know I keep saying it again and again, but you’re really improving fast on guitar. I see that down picking man! Call me impressed.
Also thanks for checking out the pedal 😂
why do you never talk about DEFLESHED?
@@ciprianotattooI HAVE… they’re awesome
@@OlaEnglund Hola, Ola !
this thing sounds absolutely ridiculous. nice work
@@OlaEnglund ola youre my fav chugging Swedish burper
Glenn singing at 1:05 caught me so off guard. It’s somehow perfectly in character and out of character for him at the same time 😂
Definitely!
Even with mistakes, seeing the improvement you've made on guitar since you started your channel makes me happy for you.
Thanks so much!
Agreed! Shalom dude
😂😂😂😂
6:27 - Corrosion of Conformity - Dance Of The Dead. One of my C.O.C favorites!
Totally!
I like the Chug a lot, but I have to admit...I like the Gehenna much more due to how tweakable it is. It's a killer pre-amp as well.
The chug pedal isn't trying to compete. It does a thing very well and nothing more. It's perfect for what it's intended to be.
@@donbishop6994 Nobody said it was. It's just a personal opinion. Are people entitled to those, or not any more? Whether they are "competing" or not doesn't take away from the fact that are similar in more ways than different.
Glenn's increasing guitar chops are really something. You make me want to practice more too, thanks!
another couple years hel have the part in lucricia down lol
I really do appreciate that you keep your mistakes in the video. makes it more human and, IMO, a lot more fun to watch. Love your videos man, keep it up! CHUG CHUG CHUG

Don't buy it. You'll be disappointed. I bought it, tried with IRs, through my XXXII through the effects loop and the front, disappointed.
Nailed that no more tears scream, right at the beginning, awesome!🤘🏻🔥

Dance of the dead's a sweet riff. Sweet chuggin goodness.
it does sound really good and the fact u can send it to your daw and put an impule response after .....very nice
Sounds fine live but I bet it sounds absolutely killer in a mix. Sounds full and balanced.

Man, that sounds great! I need to pick one up
That CoC riff sounds so weird without the drums. RIP Reed Mullin
Leads are sounding good, Glenn! I like how you're throwing more diatonic stuff in there with the minor pentatonic runs.
Gotta say that guitar tone rocks the walls and that's with headphones holey moley
I would love this thing.

GLEEEEEEEENNNNNN OOOOOOLLLLAAAAAA
Yeah this pedal absolutely fuckin rules holy shit that’s down right nasty
This is sweet Glenn. $199 is a good price. I use AmpliTube 5 and I have tried to dial in a good metal sound. Your IR works great, but selecting an amp and affects to go with it is can get a little overwhelming. I have some custom mods saved, but nothing that sounds like the Chug. So much for saving money when you bring something like the Chug on the table lol.
I’m recording direct. Never could afford a tube amp unfortunately (fixed income). I have a Spark which I don’t dare to record with and could do use a pedal like this! Anyway, the Chug sounds fantastic for this sort of application. I especially like the low/high gain knob function. Being able to take out the fizz without needing to high cut sounds awesome.
I actually use a Valvestate combo with emulated out to record but the Chug is on my radar. I'd love to get my hands on one.
I'm using a hybrid approach, very similar to your setup with the Chug pedal. I've got my Marshall JMP-1 with a TC Electronic G-Force in the FX loop plugged into my audio interface, which is then going through a tube power amp simulation and an IR loader. Best of both worlds IMO, you've got an actual piece of gear, and you can play it though your headphones without bothering your neighbors.
Only Ola himself felt it was safe in his hands, forever long, however worthy.
All will listen, therefore all must know. 🙏🤟
Going through a tube amp and have been experimenting with different preamp pedals through the fx loop, well that was before I just had a baby boy. The pedal mo ey has become diaper money 😆😆. After this review, I hope to add this flavor to the rig someday.

Scheps Omni Channel works well for some saturation and the Desser can sculpt some trouble spots out...
