Hey Ola, you know this Australo-Macedonian death metal band called Baltak? Pretty sick stuff, check them out, kind of underground sound, but rockin' and recorded in the 90s.
So refreshing to see gear reviews on stuff like this that doesn’t have grandpa guitar licks everywhere out of a magazine like Reverb and all these other review channels.
It was cool seeing how the pedals inspired you to play differently than you normally do. For me a pedal is considered worth it if it inspires new ideas and allows me to lose track of time and I think you showcased that element really well!
I have the OG Bogner Ecstasy Red and some days it seems like it rules, some days it seems like I just fight with it. Based on what I'm hearing in this demo, the tunable middle EQ frequency on these new pedals might remedy what ails me.
What I really like about you Ola is that you are an honest person and If youre playing you never show of (If it makes sense) you play normal and dont show how good you are and we not! 👌🏼💪
Wow, you really kinda lost yourself playing with those pedals! It was awesome to see a different side of your playing. You looked like you really had fun vs it being just business
I have an old version of bogner ecstasy red. It's a really really really cool pedal! It will stay on my pedalboard for a long time (I've had this since 3 years ago! I loves😅😅😅)
Cool to hear someone doing something that's unusual. For instance, modding my Jet City soon, and I'd love to do the AFD/#39 mod to it, but literally everyone just plays Slash licks on it, and I want it for thrash. I mean, I know Dimartini played SLOs, but so does Matt Pike!
Not all of us older than 40 devolve into playing tired, safe "Dad Rock." If you allow getting older & having kids to water down your music, you were never a Metalhead in the first place.
Personally, I don't see what age has to do with the music you like anyway. I still like all the heaviest shit. My wifes ex told me he had to grow up and stop listening to his rock (def leppeard and shit 😂) I told him being a man means knowing who you are, not pretending to be grown by liatening to shit you don't really like because someone might think its immature to listen to metal.
@@goatsurgeon ZZ Top is god tier dad rock. First musical memory, or memory at all for that matter, is going wild over Humbucking pt. 2, and I'm sure I was barely able to speak at that age. Must have been sometime -96
Years and years ago George Lynch was arrested at an airport when he said he had Ecstasy with him. It's a great amp well worth it's legendary status. I hope you record a full song with the Solar > Red Ecstasy > Satan setup (with both the rolled back volume knob breakup and the high gain tones, adding a smidgen of delay to the solos) and play it here.
Hard to beat the red pedal, I bought it cause Pat Travers used it in a gig with it going in a plexi. I use for another flavor on my EVH el34 in the clean channel. Great sounding pedal.
"I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE [pedal]?" - Because the red pedal is L337.
Would you try pedals into the front end of an amp as well? I would never realistically run a pedal into a loop return. I know you can, and maybe sometimes should... but not for me. I like the sound of pedals driving a clean preamp of a good clean channel.
They both sound great but I think the blue and red may serve different purposes. Blue for classic rock/blues and red for stoner rock/metal. Or maybe if you found yourself alternating between passive and active guitars in the same set perhaps?
Dear Ola, love all your stuff all and how your reviews are so real and relatable. Next time you go to Indonesia to visit your guitars can I come along?!? I'm based in Singapore, actually you are welcome to come here and crash in my spare room. I can show you this dope as guitar mall there's lots of tasty guitars there. I must sound mad but whatevs. Peace!
Ola Englund that red ecstasy ped is it similar to an Ibanez Tube Screamer Ts9? In what it does? How much better is it? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Sounds badass🤟🤟
Hey Kyle, it’s been eleven months since you asked the question, and as no one had addressed it, I will. The TS9 is a low to mid gain pedal notable for it low mid (frequency) range hump coloration. Not high gain at all.
@olaenglund Hey Ola, I play guitar for quite some time now and want to move on into the world of 8 strings and I thought it would be a good idea to check out if there is a Solar 8 string since I only heard good things about your company and I want something mid-high to high-end. When I googled I read about a collaboration between you and Washburn to bring out the "Washburn Solar 180 8-string". In your sound demo this thing really fckn kills it and it has all the specs I'd like to have for my first 8 string (24 frets, 27" Scale length, Super Jumbo Frets, etc.). But unfortunately I can't find it anywhere across the internet. Washburn removed the page and I only find already expired deals on reverb. :( I want one of those monsters so badly, would be great if you can tell me if there is any chance to get my hands onto one of them. Sincerely Robin. :D
Hello I need a recommendation to buy an overdrive, I am undecided between this pedal (ecstasy blue) or the bb Preamp xotic, I am looking for something transparent that sounds defined, that sounds good in the clean channel and that also heats the tubes of my tube amp when want to use the overdrive channel. Apart from being versatile, what pedal would you advise me?
awesome video dude, just been looking into getting one of your guitars, im wondering what the name of your factory in jakarta is? they make some seriously nice quality guitars impressed
Its funny watching metal guys trying to play without all that gain. Some my guitar teacher father taught me long ago is to practice with as little gain as needed to hear your mistakes. It will make you a better player. Ola sounds good though. Good player and and great RUclipsr. Viva La Ola!
Hmm the low end sounds funny to me. Almost flubbery and sometimes more fuzzy and broken up. Almost like its breaking up instead of distorting . Not sure I liked it. Thanks for review :)
HellOla! Will you come to play in the Netherlands anytime soon, like in 2019? I wanna shake your hand, serve you a shot of good old Transylvanian "pálinka" (traditional Hungarian spirit that contains at least 37,5% alcohol, (I am Hungarian))...and thank you for all the help you gave me indirectly through your videos, that led me to choose and buy some awesome gear. Cheers, keep it up!
Saludos Hola! Ola... do yo like the band Puya , if u do, what do you think of the guitarist approach on 7 and 8 string and his technique. Big fan, keep up the good work.
I want a Bogner Ecstacy. Said no metal head ever. 😄. But in all seriousness something like the blue pedal would be a nice addition for someone needing to have some Plexi tones handy. $250 is alot of money, though...but with all these features probably worth it.
Bogner is fantastic! I have a Uberschall pedal, have you ever tried it? Could you do a Uberschall review? I would like to see you playing the song In Vein! Greetings from Brazil!
Hey Ola, it says you use the Shure and Beyer mics, but the video shows you using a different mic altogether. Personal choice or did the others die on you?
New Bogner Ecstasy pedals! Excellent set of pedals. Subscribe!
Super sick dude... So when are you gonna give me the blue guitar? Please and thanks!
Hey Ola, you know this Australo-Macedonian death metal band called Baltak? Pretty sick stuff, check them out, kind of underground sound, but rockin' and recorded in the 90s.
When are you going to do the last 2 dime amplifiers, the Krank Krankenstein and the Century 200?
I own the old big red Ecstasy pedal. Good for practicing in your room but for the price you could get something better. Very noisy too.

Steve Lukather uses his Ecstacy amp blue channel and it sounds uh-mazing
"very pleasant... brings out something else in me..." - very good description of what the Bogner sound is about. I like this review a lot.

I have the "big" Blue one... One of the BEST OD's I've ever tried.
i have the same.blue is the best pedal :)
@@maxkov03 which ones do you suggest as better ones?
I have an old version of bogner ecstasy red. It's a really really really cool pedal! It will stay on my pedalboard for a long time (I've had this since 3 years ago! I loves😅😅😅)
I use this for death metal, with splendid results. It's very 'musical' distortion... and blends well with rich chorus.
Cool to hear someone doing something that's unusual.
For instance, modding my Jet City soon, and I'd love to do the AFD/#39 mod to it, but literally everyone just plays Slash licks on it, and I want it for thrash.
I mean, I know Dimartini played SLOs, but so does Matt Pike!
Perfect for the AIC tone
Wich one?
Love the Blue sounds more organic and open....cool thanks man
Ecstacy red&blue vs Revv pedal, side by side comparison 🤔
Agree Bogner Red and Blue vs Revv Purple and Red
I think the über would be more of ur cup of tea....I have the big red and love it for soloing
I have the Normal ones and they are SUPERB!
Welcome to being almost 40 Ola and the dad rock in you will start messing with your head more and more

I have the Burnley pedal by bognor and it's pretty good
Best sounding pedals in the world. Also based om one of the best amplifiers in the world. The xtc is such a special amp
Blue with Od boost :),
red & blue vs AMT B1 or B2 !!
Have a nice day !!! ;)
"I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE [pedal]?" - Because the red pedal is L337.
It’s hilarious watching other reviewers demo this pedal with a fender Strat. It’s a high gain pedal that’s made for metal!!!
They sound amazing and all but why no front end love? I'd like to hear that as that is how I would use them
both sounded good through that Randall especially the Red pedal
I'll have to try this in the FX loop and tweak it a little. But, proud owner of the full-size Ecstasy Red
you should do some of those old playthrough vids like you used to with pickups. The mass destruction vid made me want a solar 7 so bad lol
Nice new intro, I love the effort you put in your stuff latelly, since the membership thing you really went beast mode !!
The pre eq is very different!! I love them pedals!!!!!
Would you try pedals into the front end of an amp as well? I would never realistically run a pedal into a loop return. I know you can, and maybe sometimes should... but not for me.

Excellent set of playing, versatile metal much....
They both sound great but I think the blue and red may serve different purposes. Blue for classic rock/blues and red for stoner rock/metal. Or maybe if you found yourself alternating between passive and active guitars in the same set perhaps?
You sold me on "Buttery"
not used to seeing you play that bluesy licks but not bad Ola! thumbs up man!
That surprisingly sounded like my XTC and Uberschall. But only 9 out of 10 of us won’t sound as good as Ola.
I got the Blue its really really good.....plexi yummyness
Hola Ola!!! its always a joy to have your videos as a wake up 🤘😎
The best kind of videos on this channel.
I would love to see ola play rock smith they have some pantera songs on there 😊
Damn those were just good sounding pedals all around.
It brings out something from me also. 200$ from my wallet. Great video Ola! thing does sound amazing with your setup.
Man, great player Ola..
Hi Ola, Thoughts on you releasing a Satan distortion pedal? I would buy one in a heartbeat
I heard 80s Metal out of the red one towards the end.
I was very surprised that you did not use both at the same time. Because as you know...more is more.
Getting the red one!
Dear Ola, love all your stuff all and how your reviews are so real and relatable. Next time you go to Indonesia to visit your guitars can I come along?!?

03:13 Really nice Riff !
These pedals definitely have a classic rock or hair metal type sound to them. Not saying that they sound bad but the distortion isn't the heaviest.
Some very moody riffs today, I dig it!
Both sound great as a preamp. It would be nice to see how they sound driving the satan distortion though. Classic + modern.

I think you gotta put @olaenglund in front of your questions.
Hello I need a recommendation to buy an overdrive, I am undecided between this pedal (ecstasy blue) or the bb Preamp xotic, I am looking for something transparent that sounds defined, that sounds good in the clean channel and that also heats the tubes of my tube amp when want to use the overdrive channel.

You probably decided already, but go with the bb pre amp 😀
Sounds awesome as hell !!
Just clicked my notification without hesitation
Buttery biscuit bass!!!
Can you demo the Orange getaway driver pedal? Curious to see what sounds you get out of it.
Another very cool Video from Ola !
But I think the Randall amp would sound better without these two fancy baby toys...?
It would be nice to hear these in a mix!
awesome video dude, just been looking into getting one of your guitars, im wondering what the name of your factory in jakarta is? they make some seriously nice quality guitars impressed

You should do the ubershall pedal
Hey Ola.... I'm from Brazil....excellent RUclips Channel
Hey Ola, do you maybe have a possibility to test the Diezel Herbert pedal? That would be just awesome!!!!😊
Hmm the low end sounds funny to me. Almost flubbery and sometimes more fuzzy and broken up. Almost like its breaking up instead of distorting . Not sure I liked it. Thanks for review :)
I suspicious that Hesu is the key to all your great sound.
Inspiration in unusual places
Trying very hard to like my blue pedal. Trying to boost a Jcm800 into a Ratt tone, not happening
holy fuck that's crispy
08:24 strange Deja-Vu
HellOla! Will you come to play in the Netherlands anytime soon, like in 2019? I wanna shake your hand, serve you a shot of good old Transylvanian "pálinka" (traditional Hungarian spirit that contains at least 37,5% alcohol, (I am Hungarian))...and thank you for all the help you gave me indirectly through your videos, that led me to choose and buy some awesome gear.

JA :D
Dat frame rate tho! 👍🏻
I need a bigger tablet. At first i thought the title said "booger ecstasy". Was thinking "oh boy he upgraded from burps." 😄
Saludos Hola! Ola... do yo like the band Puya , if u do, what do you think of the guitarist approach on 7 and 8 string and his technique. Big fan, keep up the good work.
For you the difference between those ans the BE OD deluxe
another good review, not bad for a former accountant turned business guy

But in all seriousness something like the blue pedal would be a nice addition for someone needing to have some Plexi tones handy. $250 is alot of money, though...but with all these features probably worth it.
Christopher Carter ... Dan Donegan from Disturbed and Steve Vai play these.
sounds nice
I bought a Lyndhurst compressor from Bonger and sent it back cause it just plain didn't work.
Bogner is fantastic! I have a Uberschall pedal, have you ever tried it? Could you do a Uberschall review? I would like to see you playing the song In Vein!
Greetings from Brazil!
You could hook up a toaster and still get your Ola sound.
Hey Ola, it says you use the Shure and Beyer mics, but the video shows you using a different mic altogether. Personal choice or did the others die on you?
The blue pedal was pretty good, but the red was fucking awesome! Those riffs at the end were pretty sick too!
What was that riff you played at the end of the video? That was straight fire
'welcome to Ola testing shit' literally 2nd into the video and I laughed already. good stuff good stuff
Just noticed why you tape off the Hesu emblem on the cab?
Red was better . Sounds great
Red is better because Da red wunz go fasta!
Channeling your inner Jeff Beck a bit there, nice.
Sounds good but not really for me. If I had to pick tho I'd take the red pill...lol
Try Bogner Uberschall
What is the track in the background??
for just a quick second it sounded like he was playing chop suey.
hey man any chance you review the new friedman pedals?
Lord Soup I agree definitely something he should test
YEAH!!!
