how do you get rid of the phasing issues when using multiple mics? some frequencies get cut off in playback, when multiple mics are used to capture one take of audio.
Export this video to a DAW, run a low pass filter at 300 Hz. Crank until the walls shake or until deaf. There you go, the neighbor "Out the room" experience.
I am looking into the pricing of this microphone because of this video but was reading the comments because I have that exact same noise through my 5150.
Expression: To Ola a cab. Definition: Throwing all the mics you own infront of a cab with the result being a near guarantee that at least one will sound good. Example: "Bruh, I had so much trouble micing that cone, so I just Olad the fuck out of it" Love this series!
Samuari guitarist recently posted a similar video where he was getting interference through his amp. He called his electrical supplier and they came out and worked on a transformer near his property and the issue was resolved
Without meaning to sound drastic, this series might be the only relevant actually useful source for amp demos on RUclips, using mic combinations to make the amp sound like it actually sounds to one’s ear.
You are 100% spot on. Too many amp reviews going through a chain into a computer and I always wonder how close to the “in the room” sound it actually is. This series he’s doing is the closest thing you’ll get to actually being there playing an amp yourself. Love these videos.
I have an old ass power box in my backyard and I used to have the same problem, luckily one day it just kinda stopped, I'd assume the interference is coming from somewhere on his block or near the building
My Valveking made the same noise, I checked my preamp tubes, and found they needed too be replaced, plus the pots needed to be cleaned as well. There ya go Ola. Take care man. Keep on Chuggin!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Constantly amazed at how good the oid $99 SM 58 sounds in just about every situation. AND you can take it on the road and beat the hell out of it for 20 years. Sounds great Ola!
As an electrician, I would say that the circuit that you are plugging into is connected to the same circuit as an exhaust fan or the furnace, so when it turns on, you hear the motor operating through the speakers. Ive delt with that with audio guys in their home.
Man this series "In the room" is awesome! I love to hear the different mics and blends so awesome! Keep on doing them, please!!! Very well done! Keep on the good work!!
+Petter Eriksson - I could see that. That said, I think the smartest play a lot of times is to hit up the used market if you're on a budget. After years of living the apartment life (sold my old amp and went the headphone route) I moved out and decided I needed another amp. I paid less for a used 6505 and Mesa 4x12 (oversized) than if I had bought either one of them new.
New speakers in your old cab can have a huge impact on the overall tone of your rig. Putting insulation in the cabinets , on the side walls and back plate can tighten up a loose sounding cabinet quite a lot. Get a mattress pad that looks like a foam egg carton and staple gun and glue it into place. I did this to my Heil 4/12 cabinet that I drive with a Fender Dual Showman that is slightly modified for more gain. Made a HUGE difference. Mattress pads are pretty cheap insulation and work great.
It’s most likely your electrical wiring in the building structure, possibly not grounded properly. Also your fluorescent lighting in the ceiling may cause “noise” in the amp.
Hey Ola Try this. Isolate your power in your studio. If you can turn the circuit breakers off (main power) Start with the lights above you. Start playing and then turn the breaker on. See if that’s helps with your unwanted noise. If not. Move on to the next circuit breaker, could be fans, heating, where you are plugged into on the wall. You do have quite the set up so it can be that there is something else interfering with it Let me know how you go. Jared
Sounds like it could be a grounding issue, Or perhaps harmonics caused by Variable Frequency Drives on the buildings HVAC system. Or maybe EMI/RFI interference from fluorescent lighting. Hard to say without knowing the building. Getting isolated ground system installed would definitely help though.
Does anyone own the ENGL SAVAGE 60 MKll? I have the Synergy ENGL preamp and love it, I assume the full size head is just as good, If not better? Anyone?
I own the 120 Mk1 with the old transformer and the Synergy preamp. The Synergy hits it REALLY, REALLY close, but the head has more gain available (who needs THAT much gain?! Lol), and is a little more aggressive and chunkier. I’d say the Synergy head has about 85% of the Savage tone. Maybe a little more. But there are more tone shaping options on the amp to be fair to the Synergy.
Go to your load panel, turn off one breaker then see if the noise goes away, if it doesn’t then turn that breaker back on and go to the next breaker till it goes away. When you find the one breaker that when you turn it off the noise goes away, that circuit will be the one with problems, hope this helps.
Hey Ola, I have a suggestion. How about taking some of the last "in the rooms" and edit videos to a direct comparison? That series is very cool and all amps sound great. There would be even more value by referencing each one to another. PLUS: You wouldn't even have to shot another vid, just edit them together. Just sayin... Greetings from Germany
I had the same issue in a rehearsal space few years Beckwith a brand new Mesa dual rectifier (dating myself). Long story short we started turning off everything one by one and it ended up being the lights in the ceiling. They were florescent and the ballast in them were wacky, New lights and problem solved. Strange thing was it did not happen all the time. Stay safe, love your channel.
Maybe the reason for the noise is the LED dbA measurement "toolkit" on the top of your amp? I think, that the LEDs are clocked in order to get them brighter. But just an idea...
@2:36 if that sound keeps coming in and out, it's probably some kinda of neon or LED light your neighbors have. I recently put in LEDS in my kids room, and if I'm playing my Mesa Boogie it will make that exact same noise. Considering how old that building is, it could also be the 60 cell wiring within the place needing to be swapped out for new wires.
It has some of the most raw low mid growl I have heard. Just epic! Actually I would describe as the most anti-vacuum-cleaner-metal-zone distortion imaginable.
About the noise, keep stand by on and experience turning off lamps around. I have that bizarre problem here. After various researches an engineering said that the led lamps below the room my equipment live generate the problem, maybe due to magnetism or by their power transformers. And he was right, when turn on the lamps the noise comes through, exactly equal to what I saw/heard in the video. Turn off and there it goes away.
Get a monster power strip. Then plug your power conditioner into that. Comes with a magnet that goes over the cord that plugs into the wall to really take away that noise before it even goes to your power conditioner. Highly recommend. Should help all that noise.
2:37 Dude! I've been getting the SAME issue with amp noise... at first I thought it was my amp head going to sh*t but it was happening on ALL my amps... different cords, different cabs, disconnected every electrical device in the garage except for the amp... same issue... took the amp into the house incase it was something to do with my powerpoint... same issue. It's driving me MAD man! It has only been happening in the last couple weeks! arghhhhhh! I feel your pain! No clue what is causing it...
look for shortwave antennas around... but it probably some big electric engine or boiler in basement. Or just bad cable connection in building audble only when some equipment is drawing more power than usual.
Really looking forward to the Marshall DSL20. Coming soon???? Thank you for all the content, time and energy you put into your videos. It is appreciated. Have a great day. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Possible causes for your noise issue my good sir : - ground loop issues in the office, try plugging the rig you're using into a single electrical outlet and/or disconnect other outlets one by one. Alternatively you could try using ground loop isolators. - fluorescent lights, let the amplifier hum and turn off the lights one by one to identify the problematic one. - the dB meter on top of the amplifier? I don't see why it'd be easy to test. I'm not a qualified electrician but I've had similar issues in my old appartment.
Isolation transformer may help with the noise. Fairly in-expensive things as it's literally just a transformer, but you can kind of think of it as though it gives you a separate power supply for your gear to run off.
Excellent video! Would be cool to see a Boss Katana 50 In The Room video! A lot of videos of the Boss Katana out there, even you did a video 3 years ago but only with an SM58 in front. Would be really cool to see out loud and chugging this amp can be with all these different mics
I used a Boss NS2 for years. It’s great for cleaning up the guitar and pedals, not my favorite for the FX loop. Ultimately the best configuration I found was to run one of the standalone Rocktron Hush pedals (there are a few models) in the FX loop. Only set it as high as it needs to be to squash the ambient noise, plus a tiny bit more, and then leave it. If the amp isn’t making noise, turn it off, if it makes noise, turn it back on.
Hi Ola 🤘 I see a power cable on a reel behind the cabinet. If you're powering the amp from that, try unravelling it completely off the reel and see if that helps the noise at all. With it being on the reel it's essentially a coil of wire and can pickup noise that way.
Engl Savage 60 and the Engl XXL 4x12 IN THE ROOM! Have a nice day!
love this series.
Hi Ola, did you see that in a comment on his latest Instagram post Jim Root said he wanted to buy a Solar Guitar?
Florescent lights most likely what is interfering with your amp?🤘
how do you get rid of the phasing issues when using multiple mics?
some frequencies get cut off in playback, when multiple mics are used to capture one take of audio.
Ola do you know the band "orbit culture", if yes are they using solar guitars?
Now I want a new series "Outside the room". I want to hear how the neighbours will hear it 😃👍
Actually a funny and interesting idea to do as a once off!

Open your window and you can probably hear him
Export this video to a DAW, run a low pass filter at 300 Hz. Crank until the walls shake or until deaf. There you go, the neighbor "Out the room" experience.
Thank you for that sound Ola and for introducing our mic. We hope you like it. Greetings from Vienna.

*smash cut to me with my ear 2 inches away from the speaker* Ahhh, now it sounds like it did in the review
I think TPS is also very good at this, maybe even better. But they aren't demoing amps, so you might be right.
That noise usually comes from a generator that isn't insulated properly
I think you're right but never heard it that bad!!
I have an old ass power box in my backyard and I used to have the same problem, luckily one day it just kinda stopped, I'd assume the interference is coming from somewhere on his block or near the building
Regardless of the noise issue, this is THE best sound you have achieved by a long shot! Well done man!

It paired really well with the ENGL cab (obviously) and your mic mixing was legit!
Now we only need to hear the REVV 120 in the room
just the clarity of this amp is incredible.

5:49 -
That sounds like the most Metal happy birthday cover ever!!!!
Haha somebody noticed XD
That sound is a crowd in your amp.
Cabinet shootout is going to be an interesting video I think, I remember hearing somewhere that you should splurge on a good cab instead of a good amp
+Petter Eriksson - I could see that. That said, I think the smartest play a lot of times is to hit up the used market if you're on a budget.

Always a great cab before amp
A shitty sounding head isn’t gonna magically sound good because of the cabinet,but a good head will sound good through a shitty cabinet
@@tommilitello198 your 100 percent wrong. Speakers are the most important thing.
love the sound of the neumann tlm102
I love this segment, Thank you, Ola, for bringing top quality content.
Good job keeping your cool. No swearing. no wasted time waiting for the sound to clear up. You make everyone want to buy whatever you review.
The amp after Ola says it has a pleasant chug: "maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore"
It’s most likely your electrical wiring in the building structure, possibly not grounded properly. Also your fluorescent lighting in the ceiling may cause “noise” in the amp.
With all mics blended, that's how I wish all albums guitars sounded, sounds daaaaamn amazing! Thanks Ola for the video
My favorite series! Love to blast through my speakers at home. Thank you!!
This channel is gold!!! I watch every one of them :)
9:52 Oh shit.. here we go again! (And the amplifier explodes!) hahaha

absolutely brutal amp :D
I swear I could listen to Ola shred and chug all day and not get bored
Wow man good "Mics Blends is best"
I have ENGL, Mesa, 6505 and Revv. If I could only keep one, it would be the ENGL. Monster amps. Perfect combination of angry and tight.
That noise was fucking funny at the end 😂. Every guitarists nightmare.
Really digging the sound of that new Beyerdynamic mic
Sounds like an electric fan turning on and shutting off. Heating and cooling system maybe? This in the room has sounded the best.
Sounds like it could be a grounding issue, Or perhaps harmonics caused by Variable Frequency Drives on the buildings HVAC system. Or maybe EMI/RFI interference from fluorescent lighting. Hard to say without knowing the building. Getting isolated ground system installed would definitely help though.
Evh cabinets also use Celestions but Eddie customized them for his liking. He always did love to make his sounds himself without too many pedals
The OC mic is sounding awesome. Love the ENGL sound girth and overall dirtyness. Stay metal, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Engl is overkill quality
No complaints
The peak of metal tone, there
Not disagreeing but you should check out John Browne's video he just uploaded on the Revv Generator, that thing is also INSANE quality.
Lol!! That shit was hiiii larious! Ya the ENGL sounded killer, but Ola your reaction to the noise is priceless lol!
Does anyone own the ENGL SAVAGE 60 MKll? I have the Synergy ENGL preamp and love it, I assume the full size head is just as good, If not better? Anyone?
Its better tbh
I have the Savage 120 mark II and it's feckin brilliant

It's actually heavier sounding without a distortion pedal in my opinion

Greetings from Germany
Wish I was there in front of that cab having my head peeled off! Sweet Jesus it sounds amazing. Keep em coming oh mighty swede!
Could you feasibly do an in the room video for the new Neural DSP plug-in? Or any plug-in for that matter... That could be a cool experiment.
The electronic noise just proves that OLA THE GUITAR GOD is really just human like us all. No worries Ola , still a great video

AKG was always my favorite mike when we mic'd cabinets in the studio , also a sennheiser 421.
Good man. Thank you

My all time favorite amp series
You should do prs mt15 in the room
The Neumann TLM 102 is just the best
Still rockn in 2021!!!!
bring this series back!
That amp sounded great..thanks..🤘
Watching Ola flick the amp on and off is gold.
Sennheiser e906 and the AKG 414 were two of my favorite mics for cabinets.
That new Beyerdynamic mic sounded immense! Tons of low end chug compared to the Neumann, at least in this video!
ENGL has the most angelic evil sound I've ever heard! Even more metal than PRE-GIBSON Mesaboogie rectifiers (lovely tones btw)
@2:36 if that sound keeps coming in and out, it's probably some kinda of neon or LED light your neighbors have.

Maybe a fan box up in the ceiling. Sometimes they have booster fans here in there for heating and cooling.
I used a Boss NS2 for years. It’s great for cleaning up the guitar and pedals, not my favorite for the FX loop.

Hi Ola 🤘 I see a power cable on a reel behind the cabinet. If you're powering the amp from that, try unravelling it completely off the reel and see if that helps the noise at all. With it being on the reel it's essentially a coil of wire and can pickup noise that way.
