This was fun :) Little bit of Jaw drop on the EVH on first chug. That was naaaaaaasty! I was also like whoa on the Revv sound but figured the weirdness was the cab, only because I've heard so many other samples of it (waiting for mine to arrive).
I like how he threw a curve ball right off the start knowing ola would be confused by the similar Washburn. Making him doubt himself before it even began.
@@notaperson5811 I ran my Peavey 5150 (Reissue) through a Mesa oversized 4x12 for a gig one night, and ever since the stock Peavey 4x12 just doesn't cut it. Once you get a taste of the Boogie, it grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go 🤣
@@notaperson5811 The Peavey cab had V30s, and the Mesa had V30s and Creambacks. Which I'd bet good money on that being the reason it sounded IMMENSELY better.
When Joel said "if you don't nail this one, I don't know", he completely gave it away. As soon as I saw that amp I was interested in seeing if Ola would get it, and Joel freaking gave it to him lol
It's a really good idea. Our ears play tricks on us when switching from one rig to another just like when switching presets on a modeler. It takes time to your brain to process the changes and thus it's hard to recognize anything right on the spot.
I really like the concept! But just for the production, I would mabe look into the ones "Andertons" does. They let them struggle for longer which makes it more fun and reveal the answers at the end, giving it a dramaturgical peak. :)
wow that EVH combined with the Mesa Boogie cab is absolutely ferocious. I wonder what would happen if I used a mesa cab with my 8100 valvestate head...
The REVV with the Randle had a unique sound! I kinda liked it...AKA 80's metal... But, the reality is that @58, I'll never own one of these boutique rigs! Just not in the cards I was dealt... Do appreciate that I can tune into your channel from time to time and crank my headphones and try to appreciate this level of Metal! Be safe my friend!
Great job Ola & welcome Joel! You guys were definitely having fun doing this challenge. Would love to see you do it again in the future. Thank you both!
Haha! This was great. This will be a great series. I love that room too. I think it’s funny you thought the REVV didn’t sound like a real amp. That’s why I got rid of my G20.
I was pleasantly surprised to not see a Tube Screamer or some variant homogenizing every amp LOL! Put the Revv into one of those V30 cabs and I guarantee the sizzle returns LOL!
honestly the randal cabin that cuts off the high-highs somehow sounds the best. Most savage and evil metal sounding. And I actually think the cabin is easier to guess than the amp. The cabin makes a huge difference in the dynamic range of the amp. You just know your amps very well, but with someone else's amps, you would have easier times guessing the cabin.
I liked this one Anderton's video where they couldn't touch any controls or headstocks or whatever on a guitar. They just had to play it blindfolded with one hand on the neck, one hand strumming. Also, of course it's easier to know your own amps than random amps, but it's still not easy at all. Mix some modern metal amps with, say vintage Mark 2C+ and Rectifier kind of gear and stuff like that dialed in correct way with added noise gate for everything and everyone is on a guess trip.
Jävligt uppfriskande med nytt content som är intressant på ett annat sätt än SWOLA, som jag anser kan vara lite till och från ibland. Förstår att det kan ta lång tid att hitta på något nytt, men nu när du har lite olika koncept på kanalen så som Will it chug, SWOLA och nu Mystery rig känner jag redan att kanalen fått ett rejält lyft. Plus i kanten varje gång du involverar någon ny person i videorna 👍🏻
Speakers are the most important thing in the chain, not the cabs themselves. Cabs do matter, but the speaker is the biggest factor at play, and both cabs he guessed had V30s in them and the amp he wasn't able to guess right was paired with very different speakers.
Honestly nobody could lol amp snobs are lying if they say they can. Great example: I ran into a guy who claimed up and down that the parkway drive album “reverence” was recorded with a mixture of a Mesa Badlander and Marshall blended together with a Mesa over sized. This grandiose explanation because he just knew those tones because he’s played them both. Parkway drive recorded that album with Kemper profilers 😂😂😂😂
@@thatsameenergy Well I don't think they're lying as such, I just think they're over-confident with their hearing when they guess and get it right lol. That being said though I have made profiles and heard some subtle differences in the low end, mainly when palm muting. It fizzles out differently than a real amp does, no matter how good the profile comes out, there's always something there, but yes IF the profiles are made VERY well with little - no EQ tweaks done on the Kemper, then I highly doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference on a studio album, even if you were to reamp the same studio track with both, especially with all the other instruments going on. Was that guy saying he knew just by listening? 🤣
Welcome, Joel! I love these types of videos. People buy with their eyes/eat with their eyes. My favorite Andertons videos are the blindfold challenges, so it's awesome to see this type of video in a metal context with you Ola. For future episodes, I'd love to see a rule of no allowing to touch the guitar to help you guess what it is. Hands on the bridge for palm muting and neck only. And how about having all the amps on with an amp/cab switcher footswitch?
@@jessehoopes7042 Agreed! I've seen so many people buy an expensive pedal, think it sounds amazing and then later realize it's a DS1 copy. The perfect example is the Satchurator from Vox.
I think that Randall cab was totally stifling the Revv gen, big demonstration how much the cab affects sound to the point ola didnt even believe it was a real amp.
Have you ever thought about demoing some of the lower cost amplifiers that have all the same features: like the tri-rec, 1990 and 6262 by Bugera... or some of the less expensive peavey rigs like the old 80s/90s era 120watt tube twins or 80s/90s era half stacks from fender, crate, peavey, etc. The VTM120 was a real BEAST, as was the Classic 120 Twin with the built in phaser and spring reverb.
It's interesting that the part that makes the most dramatic change to the sound (the cab) is the one part you really struggled with this time around (that and the REVV i guess). You were able to pick out your Satan immediately, but couldn't tell one V30ish cab from another V30ish cab. I will say, that those Jaguar speakers sound incredible with anything other than an RG100
As the owner of a Revv Generator 120 Mk III, this video was concerning, LOL! I don’t know anything about that Randall cab but I play mine Revv through a Mesa OS 4x12 and it sounds awesome. Just goes to show how important a role that the cab plays in the overall equation.
Very cool challenge! It actually says a lot about our perception ("listening with our eyes") of sound with regards to our gear. Love it! Ola, you know your shit, and kudos for putting your 'mistakes' out there.
I really enjoyed this series Ola. Keep em coming. Hard. Really Hard. I like the chemistry between you both too. Joel is unforgiving to you in a hilarious way. Just as a good friend should be, honest.
MYSTERY RIG? WHAT IS IT? That's the point... I don't know...
Why didn't you use one of those things you get on flights?
I want more of this
I love blindfold vids like this, so I'll happily devour this content
It had no high-end sizzle, you see.
This was fun :)

Evh with the Mesa sounds massive.
I know I wanna get that rig now
Bro for real, tried this with an uberschall pedal, sounded like Satan screaming back at me lol

@@JubbyDubbis Man I can only imagine how fuckin amazing that rig must sound. Talk about a gurthy tone 😂😂 What speakers did you have in the 4x12?
@@notaperson5811 The Peavey cab had V30s, and the Mesa had V30s and Creambacks. Which I'd bet good money on that being the reason it sounded IMMENSELY better.
The man certainly knows HIS amp.
His assistant told him he should know it before he even played it. That was a huge hint.
When Joel said "if you don't nail this one, I don't know", he completely gave it away. As soon as I saw that amp I was interested in seeing if Ola would get it, and Joel freaking gave it to him lol
I loved the instant “dial it in” directions.
DUDE!!!! This was fun af! Can we please have more like this?!
CONGRATS ON 700K BRO!
Good god this was funny.
REVV: "And I took that personally".
I mean he was either crapping on REVV or complementing the digital modelers lol.
5150III + Mesa oversize sounded badass, omg….
It's a really good idea. Our ears play tricks on us when switching from one rig to another just like when switching presets on a modeler.
It takes time to your brain to process the changes and thus it's hard to recognize anything right on the spot.
This is a great idea! Pretty cool. The EVH and the Mesa sound so good!
This is such an entertaining segment.. good job Ola.. and Joel. Definitely more.
The honest Revv review 🤣🤣👍
I really like the concept! But just for the production, I would mabe look into the ones "Andertons" does. They let them struggle for longer which makes it more fun and reveal the answers at the end, giving it a dramaturgical peak. :)
not a bad idea. that way ola also couldn't exclude the ones he already guessed from the later rigs he's going through
nice word!
Dramaturgical....I like that!
You could use your amp switcher for this and play all the amps through all the cabs
Gah I really want a switcher and a second cab.
Good idea!
muhahaha, this was a fun challenge
wow that EVH combined with the Mesa Boogie cab is absolutely ferocious. I wonder what would happen if I used a mesa cab with my 8100 valvestate head...
I think you should keep Joel around he's awesome
This is an awesome video but holy crushing cow, the EVH just always gets me, love it! Especially with Mesa
ooh working with Joel in videos opens a lot of potential for the channel, this one was great! looking forward for some more
Revv sales go slightly and slowly down, after this video :D
Revv throwing him off so bad just goes to show you how unique of a sound it has and how versatile it is.
I'd love to see another video like this again!
MOOOOOOOORE !!! THIS IS EPIC !!!
Exactly. The Jaguars in the Randall cabinet, which can be quite dark sounding, threw him off.
This was super fun to watch! REVV is not a real amp, confirmed🤣
Evh through the Mesa sounds greàaaaaat!!!
That Revv is a killer sounding amp.
The REVV with the Randle had a unique sound! I kinda liked it...AKA 80's metal...
But, the reality is that @58, I'll never own one of these boutique rigs!
Just not in the cards I was dealt... Do appreciate that I can tune into your channel from time to time and crank my headphones and try to appreciate this level of Metal!
Be safe my friend!
Revv just got roasted so hard and so deep in so little seconds lmao
This is a great idea for future tests/segments.The fun is in the unknown,based purely on sound and not pre-conceived thoughts.
This was a GIANT WIN of a vid, Ola. Definitely more like these!!!
Great job Ola & welcome Joel! You guys were definitely having fun doing this challenge. Would love to see you do it again in the future. Thank you both!

Both are good suggestions for a next mystery video! Especially Revv through another cab.

The cabin makes a huge difference in the dynamic range of the amp. You just know your amps very well, but with someone else's amps, you would have easier times guessing the cabin.
My God how brutal is that EVH EL34 100 watt head??? It made all the other amps sounds like a toy!

Loved the sound of the EVH
This is a great series, Ola! We need more of this!
Ah! Thats an awesome series! keep that one going , its fun to watch !!
More of this! So much fun watching
There's an irony in the fact that the thing that influences tone the greatest is the thing that's the hardest to guess in a signal chain.
Speakers are the most important thing in the chain, not the cabs themselves. Cabs do matter, but the speaker is the biggest factor at play, and both cabs he guessed had V30s in them and the amp he wasn't able to guess right was paired with very different speakers.
Oh Ola, it was all going so well...
What would be interesting would be to see if you could tell the difference between a real amp and a modeller!

He probably couldn't unless there were some secondary clues, like in the case of the EVH here.
Great that your associate is enjoying it, and throwing curve balls as well. Hope you add pedals and guess those too.

That EVH/mesa was wicked awesome
This was cool. I really enjoyed watching this. The "credits" were cool too, guessing color and how you knew the difference.
Sick good Ola you makes us proud, this other guy is a treasure, I like these ideas ❤️👍🤘🎸

Loved this! This was fun. I might have guessed the EVH but thats about it.
That was pretty fun to watch. I think you have a good thing going there. Plus Joel seems like he knows his stuff and he knows how to mess with you.
Mah boi Joel bringin the "CREEP" to the channel, I love it!....lol 07:44
You have to do one with 3 mystery rigs only for all of them to be beginner practice amps
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
Can't wait to see a part 2! 🤘🏻🎸
Man, that EVH sounded good!
One of the most fun guitar channels on YT.
Joel och Ola, det är dags för en ny mystery rig!
We need more of this!
this was a fun watch!

It's just a modeller with valves!!😂

Well there goes all my curiosity for Revv. I was pretty sure I never wanted one but now I know for sure.
Ooooo what a great idea for a series! So many possibilities! Can't wait for more.

Love the idea Ola.
Awesome video, this was a ton of fun. Keep up the great work & congrats on 700k
Awesome.. EVH tone undeniable!!!!
This is a great idea for a video, really entertaining
That was awesome Ola!!! Really cool new segment! :-)
This was genuinely great fun to watch.
Very kool , good job Ola !!!
AWESOME idea for a new series, -Please do more!!
Damn I really like that EVH and MESA oversized combo
Suggestion! Throw a hughes & kettner in that lineup he will never guess! Like a grandmeister deluxe.
Really cool idea. Thank you Joel for setting it up.
so good..! sicc burn for the revv though..
That evh rig sounded dope
I'm glad you found your Signature Amp right great job.
EVH with the Mesa was one of the best sounds I've heard, HOLY SHIT! I need that tone now
I can't believe it, "Is it a real amp? Does it have tubes? IS IT A BLACKST*R", I just shattered!
I really enjoyed this series Ola. Keep em coming. Hard. Really Hard. I like the chemistry between you both too. Joel is unforgiving to you in a hilarious way. Just as a good friend should be, honest.
There will be happiness at REVV headquarter after this video
Sick video- good to hear a mix up of guitars, amps and cabs. 700k! Congrats
Very cool format!
That was fun! More pls!
Cool vid!! That 5150 was gnarley.
This is one of the best videos Ola has ever done, this would be pretty rad as a recurring series!
This was fun to watch. Thanks Ola.
The rev through the jaguars reminded me of the old LINE6 big bottom I can see why he thought it was digital
i'm really impressed by the EVH sound
Oh yes, this needs to become a series! Great content idea and great selection of rigs!
Haven’t even watched it yet and love it. Keep it up
