Have a great Friday everyone!
That Lewitt is The LeShitt!! Sounds sooo good!! \,,,/
You too. What tuning is your guitar?
That M160 is hissing pretty bad with an ear ringing type sound and it sounds empty, the Lewitt kicks ass! Great sound overall. Impressive!
🤘🤘🤘
Plz change font color.... white font on a white wall is fun to read lol
Also i think your onto something with the "in the room" series, great for us guitar nerds.
It's also a great demonstration of microphone technology and acoustics. Sound recording and how sound works 101
Would be kind of neat if you could make it an interactive video somehow. Letting viewers select and deselect which mics they want to hear and when.
Tosserlad oooo....that sounds like a sweeeeet idea 🤔
I agree the differences in the mics really interests me
Absolutely. More of this.
I worked for Mesa/Boogie for 13+ years. Being able to play Rectos everyday is something I miss now since I don't own any mesa amps anymore. I really should save up for one again.
What did you do at Mesa?
Dual Recifiers are crappy over engineered amps that produce one single, ugly, djent sound.
@@metalheadblues I started in packing, then became a tester, then built up the raw chassis on the assembly line, became a tech testing the amps, then built the first run (10000ish pedals) of the pedal line.
@@BillDerBerg Interesting opinion. I don't recall Korn and Nickleback being Djent... Are Rammstein Djent? Metallica? Maroon 5? Blink 182?
@@BillDerBerg sounds like someone who's never owned a dual rectifier to me. My triple is one of the most versatile amps i've ever played. also, i don't play djent. it's possibly the one style of music i have no interest in and haven't played on my recto. hell, i've even plugged a classical guitar into my rectifier. it has a gorgeous clean channel.
The Lewitt mic sounds amazing , holy smokes !
It kinda sounds like you're standing in the room, pretty awesome.
@@Seitan-enjoyer Absolutely! The Lewitt's sound is awesome. It really, really sounds like you're in the room.
True. It is like being there. Expensive like a real good basic guitar, but that sound is so real.
Thanks for the comment. Ola really makes it shine!
Super clear and balanced. Dig it.
Holy hell that Lewitt is the perfect microphone for room sound.
Thanks! The all microphone sound though... 🤟
@@LEWITT-audio straight up. The full mix is literally the perfect "live tone" anyone could ever ask for.
@@LEWITT-audio yeah, but your mic is why the all mic sound is better than it has ever been!
@@swingonthespiral Thanks for your kind words. What mics are you using to record your amps?
@EramSemperRecta dry lol
Need an "In the Bathroom" series next for those of us who shred on the shidder
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have done that
I second this. I also found out George lynch has a better rig in his bathroom than me and my dad have combined, and dime wrote a lot of his riffs on the shidder. Don’t let anyone keep you down keep on shiddin and shreddin!
I’ve used the bathroom in my house as an iso room to record guitar tracks before, as I could get a pretty badass reverb effect in there due to the tile floor. Once after recording some stuff for my buddy’s band, I ended up throwing a house party, and I didn’t really put everything away after recording. Needless to say, I had people asking why the hell there was a half stack in the bathroom lol
Rectumfier.
freakybob is calling
That series is incredible. You often have guitarists demoing gear with their camera's mic etc. to get an "in the room" representation, but what you do here is absolutely above and beyond anything done before. Please continue this series. It's absolutely genius. If I also may suggest another amp: Peavey 5150 or equivalent.
Seconding the 5150/6505 request. I think that's the sound that I like the most of the metal distortions, but I can't be certain and have no means of doing anything like this myself outside of amp sims :-(
He already did a 5150 one, it was the first one he did as I recall.
@@christopherward4671 Thanks!
All that it definitely sounds completely different than hearing it in person lmao. Entertaining though
This is by far my favorite amp, bought it 7 years ago and never needed to change
Mine as well...i just bought a mkV...unbelievable amps
True, Only better amp I can think about is Mark V
@Jeremy Conner Why do you not want 100 Watts? If you have 50 or 40 Watt amps you're probably not very far away from what a 100 Watt amp will sound/feel like. I think there isn't a lot of volume difference between 50W and 100W.
@Jeremy Conner Hm I understand that but like I said, 100W is only a little bit louder that 50W but whatever, it's your preference :)
@@clemensmoeller4549 I played 300Watt in bedroom :D kinda fine, but tbh, some mesas, like Mark V has more Power options, like 10/45/90W
OMFG That Mesa Boogie is the God of metal past and present. Love how powerful it sounds. Just balls out metal. Thx Ola.
gotta love Mesa Boogie... sounds damn killer
So refreshing hearing this demo. A real amp mic’d in a larger room. No load box.... just pure magic. Thank you very much for doing this... and keep up the series!
Amen
This serie is how an amp demo should be recorded, thanks very cool
That "All Microphones" sounds is SOOOOO fucking good. I'd use that on an album.
Sounds good but it's too boomy for a mix
@@ItsSauIGoodman Subtractive equalization. That tone is definitely very usable.
@@ItsSauIGoodman I'd be happy just throwing a HPF and a LPF on it and quad track the guitars for a wall of facemelt.
@@ItsSauIGoodman Post EQ is a fix-all
Sounds exactly like my Mesa in the room. Well set up...
I don't play guitar, I don't own an amp... I just watch all Ola content for the good chugging! Keep up the good work :)
In the room Mark IIC+ or Mark V and JCM800 please Ola!
A Triaxis and 2:90 combo would be pretty sweet too.
Ooh - the Mark II C+ would really be interesting, to see if you can replicate those 90's John Petrucci tones.
all of the mic blend together sounds the best imo. sounds the most natural
A few points here. 1) I love this concept because all too often we are led to believe a piece of gear sounds a specific way but the processing postproduction makes it sound different than it will in my room. 2) I freaking pray that you use this set up whenever you demo new gear and that it catches on for other creators. Great job Ola.
Everybody's heard Rectos 10000 times studio miced on recordings but it's cool to see this showing how they sound in the room... and now I want one again
I miss my recto so much.
Also, this would be a great time for Ola Kemper Profiles 😏
I second that. Merged profiles if possible, cause they work best for those who don't have the same oversized mesa cab but still want to use a guitar cab. Like me :D
That Evergrey riff rules.
Now I have to get this amp.
I'm 2 days away from buying a used one very cheap and barely played thru...i can't wait man!....its been a dream amp for me and I'm 45....your channel kicks maximum ass brother...cheers from canonsburg, Pennsylvania USA
Sometimes I question my sound and I just need to be reminded what a great guitar tone sounds like. This is it.
If you listen to this video with some stereo headphones and dime it. It sounds pretty damn close to being in the room with the amp. Killing it Ola.
Man, Lewitt mic sounds awesome
This is actually a really great series you're doing here, Ola. This setup and multiple mic type/location comparison lets us hear the characteristics of the amp more accurately whereas a typical amp review/sound test is more about the characteristics of the cabinet/mic imo. Nice!
Thanx Ola for staying upbeat and giving us great content to combat boredom!
That Neumann is awesome sounding in that position!
Dual rec is my amp of choice too. I rarely get to play mine but when I do its so fun and satisfying.
LEWITT ROOM SETUP FOR THE WIN. You honestly don't need to record with another microphone ever again. It captures the REAL tone.
Ola we r connected ! I watching all ur videos on my smartphone but today my wife and my kids r out of the house ! I can watch this amazing video on my 65" 4k Screen with the home theater 🤘🏻🎸
4:40am in Las Vegas. That was a great sound to wake up to. Thanks!
🤘🏼😎🍺
That Evergrey - more than ever section was niiiiiiiiiiiiiice @ 7:19
The insight a producer or guitar tone freak can get from these in the room videos is MASSIVE. I'm so glad I've ran into them. Thank you for coming up with such a clever way to demonstrate how different mic positions, gain levels, amps and even room standings can affect our sound.
This was also an interesting demonstration of how different microphones have their own response curves and timbral characteristics too. I like your idea of trying to capture the "in the room" quality of the amp / cab pairing. Excellent video. 👍
The way any amp demo should be done. We feel it, awesome. We want more "In the room" like this !!
MIC MAGIC! Pretty good, Ola!

I Love the sound of the Lewitt
That thing sounds soooo good..... I almost forgot about the dual and triple recs. Takes me back.
Just picked up my first Dual Rec and it absolutely crushes.
Are you going to return it and get the badland?
Mesa Boogie Duel Rectifier is a beast 🤘🙃🤘
That Lewitt was a killer mic! I loved how it captured the audio!
I think the best approach for capturing "the room sound" is knowing how the room sounds acoustically,
and also know the perfect set of microphones for what ur trying to capture and represent most accurately.
I've never wanted a 900$ mic before ... dang that Lewitt.
Ola, which mode did you have it in ?
I have a feeling it sounded so good is because of where 'itt' was placed in the room - but yeah i agree.
@@paddyfalco8497 i see what you did there ;)
Thanks. Pretty sure Ola had the mic in the dual output mode, which means that the front and back of the capsule were recorded in stereo.
It definitely stands out to me!!! Love it!!! ...”it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.” To quote a movie I seen.
It's a blast right back into 2010!
The Studio Preamp with its V band EQ was another Mesa classic
The ortf really gives you a "out of the room" feel, like some one is playing in a non-isolated (yet closed) room you're out of...you know, when you're waiting while the other band i practicing on the rehearsal space?!
but yeah, this video is absolute genius
The Lewitt sounds great. I don't know how close to reality it sounds, but it sounds really good.
obviously not one microphone in the world can capture the moving air caused by the deafening sound that this beast produces but goddamn thats sounds awesome
I have a triple rec and dual rec and a couple 5150s. In the room, nothing seems to compare to the rectifiers, they give off such an amazing presence and boom factor. Oh and my triple rec, I bought off of Ken Susi from Unearth.
Holy fuck this amp sounds badass. This series is absolutely amazing
The mix of all the mics is such a killer sound
The Lewitt seems to sound better than the superlux. More realistic. I'd still put it closer, mimicking/mirroring your listening position. That said, the mix of all sounds really interesting and might be the best approximation of the actual percieved sound in the room.
There is almost nothing better than a Mesa Boogie!
I remember when I tried the rectifier for the first time 20 years ago... It was amazing (dual recto trem o verb)...
I had a Triple Rec from that era and just didn't get along with it. Sold it and picked up a Reborn and love it. Still, I watch demos like this one and wonder what I was doing wrong with my old Recto. Oh well, you make it sound kick ass!
That mix of all the microphones is beautiful
I think just the 58 and the Lewitt mics are all you need and call it a day. Of course with all mics together it sounded great but just the lewitt and the 58 is all you need. Man that Mesa sounds brutal!!
The 33 pedal made me love the BKP Aftermath. It's a very very good piece of gear.
I have same set up except primarily use a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe as the boost. Def my favorite amp/pedal combo as far as what’s currently in my overdrive collection
Awesome represent Dual Rectifier . I use one myself. Along with a Boss Turbo Distortion and an Ibanez TS9. Very Metal very crunchy. I just ordered a Maxon ST9 Pro+ from Musicians Friend . I can’t wait to chug that little pedal.
Lewitt mics position is so good and give the best tone for me
I definitely like hearing what the Lewitt is picking up. That and the two close mics are handy.
That Lewitt really captured that vibe like if you were actually there
From the time you fire it up, it's the best of the bunch. Some things never change. Not playing Mesa these days but that's just bc I'm off on an "adventure"
SM58 is for recording. To color up and widen, use Lewitt... done!
Them Full Straight Bottom OS Rectifier Cabs are amongst the Best Ever..!!!!
that lewitt sounds great!
I have a bugera trirec, similar but not the same thing. I love the mesa boogie sounds... One of the bests
This was the amp and cab combo John Sykes used on the first blue murder album as well as the classic whitesnake 87 album
Evergrey's More than ever riff. Sweet.
We have 2 amps, 2005 Recto(Dual), 1998 Marshall DSL 100(made in England) The Marshall is great for leads, Mesa for rhythms
The rectifier has a 3d sound that just sounds really good live and in a band situation
So much texture to the tone. Sounds amazing.
The new lights really made the room pop. Great choice.
Ola! Would really love to see you do an “in the room” demo of the EVH 5150 iii 6L6 as I am looking into buying one. Great video btw! This series is genius!
Now, I have to go ask my friends working in studio to capture TLM102 impulses/mixed TLM102 impulses for me. Thanks Ola.
This series of videos give the best representation of an amp. The Newman mic is my favorite.
Lewitt 640 and sm58 sound awesome! I have this amp...kicks ASS!
Ola has such passion and enthusiasm for the slightest sound variation and making all things chug!!
Love your work!
Casters off set the cab on a rug. Sm 57 and 421 on cab . And a ribbon or condenser mic for the room. The Bob Rock method!
Man that new Lewitt 640S sounds phenomenal as a room mic. And the mix sounds great! 👍
LEWITT just kills everything else! MEGA WALL OF SOUND!!
Riffs at 7:20 mark are GOLD Ola!! GOLD!!! Golda..goldola
Maybe the most popular amps of all time, maybe the most numerous, Mesa's serial records show that they've made WELL over 50,000 Dual and Triple Rectos including the newer multi-watt versions. I've owned three myself, one Dual and two Triples.
It is a pleasure to learn that you got excited because we have to dive back in that sound for making things different. I noted that many bands sound similar and that gets, copiously, machine like, or like a bunch of people that don't rely on their ears. They all go for what is written, what is told. And that divinity whispers tricks, but they are probably are not loud enough. So they must have dropped telling the ideas long ago. The 1980 and 1990 had creative methods of using sound and morphing it to something creative like what Testament did using hours in a Megaforce studio. Well, guess what? Something else was in for best and it is surely divinity again.
Now that's an amp. Just that SM58 sounds fine to me. That's the holy grail for me.
Would love to hear a modern recorded Slayer cover with a recording setup similar to this. Part of the magic of the Reign In Blood atmosphere was supposedly having a room mic during guitar tracking.
I wouldn't doubt that all their albums had room mics. The difference between the albums is that they got better recording wise. You're just a fan of the old school way of doing things. Less limiting. More reverb and room sounds. Old recordings tried to capture the feel of a live band at their peak and that included flaws. With digital recording it's more about the vision of the band and you go to see the band live. Because noone buys albums. It's like film. Back in the day a lot of movies were just musicals on film, so you could get an idea of what it would be like to watch a broadway show. Then movies became their own entities. It's the same with music. The album was trying to create a live show experience, but with modern techniques you can create an entirely different experience than your live show. Both are based on the same scripts though.
Whisker Biscuit while I don’t disagree with your whole comment, I do think that Seasons in the Abyss has truly ass sounding tones and so does God Hates Us All. And I don’t mind either album. For me the room mic coupled with decent reverb in RIB and South of Heaven just makes the whole album sound a little more cavernous and evil. I think a lot of black metal and death metal bands could stand to take a similar approach in the studio to get the point across. Some successfully do.
@@christopherward4671 All those albums have the exact same producer. Rick Rubin. I personally thing God Hates us all is their best sounding album. They old albums from the 80's sound extremely dated to me. Way too trebly for me. Reign is OK production wise. You just like that old "Anti Newsted" thrash sound. Even then God Hates us all and Reign in blood sound very similar. Play a song back to back it's almost the same sound. I think you just aged out of a band. It's normal. The first album we listen to is how we judge every subsequent release by a band. Also how old we are when we listen to it determines how much we like it. I heard God hates us all before Reign in Blood (Devine Intervention was the first album I bought by them though), I define slayer by God hates us All. There are people who think that South of Heaven is the sound. Also South of Heaven was slower are more "satanic" sounding. So it may just be that you prefer the speed of the Reign in blood album. South of Heaven is like hymns in a Satanic Church. Seasons in the Abyss is like a blend of the two albums before it.
Whisker Biscuit I’m not sure why you’re trying to put me in a box still but whatever floats your boat dude.
Love this series. As opposed to all other channels that run everything though program after program and not knowing the sound straight from the amp.
It can't get any better than that. A Recto head in a Recto cab with a tube screamer. I personally like a little more gain than that, maybe set at 2-3 O'clock.
The standard of a metal sound!
That's the Kings X Dogman sound, beautiful
Dunno if it's just the mic itself and/or position but the Lewitt is givin some friggin' KILLER sound.
That Lewitt is AMAZING !! Love this new series !!
This is epitome amp for anything hard rock/metal of the 90s/2000s
Thanks for sharing miking position.
Even in mobile phone speaker sound amazing.
This series is GOLD!!! I only play with real amps and I don't do any recording, so getting a sense of what a particular amp sounds like "in the room" provides me with so much more value. Also, IMO the "in the room" sounds you're getting is far superior with regards to listening to guitar tones that aren't in a mix than that of a "close-mic only" sound. Subbed!
Great vid! Love this amp with that cab. Mesa did such a good job designing these two things to fit together.
The mix with all mics together is orgasmic my god
Two legends in one frame 🤘 Was looking forward to see the DualRec in this series 😍
I have a 99 2channel Dual Rec, I have an Oversized Mesa Slant Cab, I have a Ts9, I can never get it to sound that good. It is certainly a Monster though. Supposedly the older rectifiers pre-amps were carbon copy's of the SLO-100.
And this is exactly why this is my favorite amplifier ever... man that sounds great.
Gotta love his expression at 3:35; he was digging the tone big time.
I'm more of a Marshall guy; but the Dual Rectifier's excellent tone can never be denied.
