Some day Ola will be given a damn Nobel Price in Physics for the invention of the chug meter. For the first time in history, mankind is able to determine seriously if somethings chugs. A true breakthrough 🤩
Ola, I recently played a Boss Blues Driver and was utterly floored by how CLEAN and BRUTAL this thing was. You should try it out in this series, I think you would have a lot of fun with the pedal! It got HEAVIER than the MXR Fullbore I've got, without that horrible can of bees sound
Adventures with Ola: Will it chug edition! Take the chuggometer to various events/ coffee shops/ public restrooms, to find the chug in everyday life. I would find that very uplifting and joyous!
Very chuggable sir, hope mr chuggles is ok by the way. Very cool video. There is no way to deny it's chugging now, the meter doesn't lie. Ola the chugger.
Positive criticism from a fan but also an audio technologist ; if I’m not wrong it seems like it’s an SPL based device. Also if I’m correct I believe it seems to be simply reading the full frequency spectrum as most units designed to read spl do. If this is the case, that would explain the reactivity of the meter was indicating to me it was tied to volume, most likely calibrated around 1khz as per industry norm. If you had turned up The volume knob on the boss pedal it would have chugged. The Chug pedal hit higher on the meter because the SPL in the room was significantly higher. If you want to actually make it more of a ‘chug meter’ put a LPF in line with the input signal, adjusted for say… 600hz and below… to at least measure the thump of the chugs. Hopefully that all makes sense. With the filtered input now active, use a known rig that chugs, dial it in for a ‘good chug tone / volume in the room’, then calibrate the spl meter ‘chug meter’ to that. From there on, anytime you have another rig you want to see, will it chug, you can see if it makes it to the previous calibration mark. It’s a bit wonky of a ‘test’ but at least it would be a better meter for your use. Another solution, different but reasonable, is to maybe use the output of the microphone to pipe to a DAW plugin that displays the signal as a visual EQ / real time analyzer, and then take that EQ curve displayed in the RTA and compare it against a previous known good chug. To rephrase, use the mic to determine an average EQ curve across the full frequency for a known good chug using an RTA plugin or a EQ plugin that displays an RTA display. If an eq curve for the known good chug matches at all to the ‘chug’ currently being tested (by comparing the graphs/RTA signals) you could consider that to be a way to test chugs using graphs and meters. Long time fan and Solar guitar using chugger. Thanks for the content Ola. Hope this made sense or was at least clear as mud.
I definitely feel like a Chug Meter should be commercially available! Perhaps a bit scaled down, that is pretty large but other than that I think you’d have a real winner here Ola!
You have to be such a smart dude to keep this show chugging proud of you and what you have made if this show and your life.Lots of love from london ont canada❤❤❤
As a semi retired sound engineer, this my statement. This piece of equipment should be a pre requirement for any FOH rack. So, on the sound check if the guitars don't chug, they ca not play. Le5s make this law...(and loads of dosh for Ola)
I had a thought. Make an amp with the chug meter LED's incorporated on the front. Three channels. Clean, dirty, and chug. Of course the chug channel gets a chug gain knob special for it. Doesn't go to 11, goes to chug !
So it’s a signal meter? Or it actually detects how compressed a signal is? Checks the EQ? We need to know what kind of magic was used in the chug meter.
If there is any pedal I would recommend it would be the digitech TL-2 hardwire metal distortion pedal. I stand by it. It’s it’s got crazy range of sound for many styles of chugging
The Chug Meter measures the asymmetric Chug Factor in units of Chug, from -15 to +20 Chug. On the scale that is open-ended, collisions of planets are around +50 Chug, exploding suns from +100 Chug upwards. The invention of the Chug Pedal also led to the development of the Chug Meter and made it possible to record the Chug Factor for the first time... 😉🤘
BrOla you are amazing. I fucking love it! The chug meter is great and takes out all the guess work. Now no one has to worry if your biased(pun intended) in your reviews 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's just a decibel meter, isn't it? I can imagine how a true chug meter would work, though. At least in theory. It would need to have some kind of very good software coding in it and a.i. to recognize the short bursts of sound that we call chugging. It would do that by sensing the low frequencies at a higher volume than normal for a moment and also a very very short but present medium to high volume treble. That's it basically. Pre amplified treble and post amplified bass.
I now want one of those meters lol Solar, if you are listening, market this. It will sell lol. Let the thumbs up reflect what and how others think of that *chuggestion.* I will go first lol
Some day Ola will be given a damn Nobel Price in Physics for the invention of the chug meter. For the first time in history, mankind is able to determine seriously if somethings chugs. A true breakthrough 🤩
I feel like I want the chug meter the most. I didn't know I was missing this in my life until now.
Me trying to figure out how it works
I too need this in my life, where can we get a Chug Meter? Take my money. LOL
Agreed! I want both now, a chug meter and a chug pedal as reference to calibrate the chug meter.
I want a chug meter!
+1 , i need this....!!!!
The Chug Meter needs to be mass produced
Especially for deaf people.
In a portable form it would be awesome
@@hinjurock70 PAAAARRRDON?
@@jimsound7888 I guess, some times visual aid is nice if you're hearing impaired and just want to chug..
@@karstenhammerhansen PARDON? one, two.....one, two 😜😜
Finally, a properly scientific way to measure chugs.
CHUG METER BABY! And yes of course it's a gimmick :D
Lol you got to tell us how it actually works. Or is it just a db meter? Or did somebody actually make a meter that can decipher tone lol?
**Looks up the Chug meter on the Solar store**
Maybe but if there was a gimmick meter it would definitely be in the red
@@AlexanderXtcSlayin Probably doing an FFT frequency analysis and deciding the amount of chug based on the overtone content.
Its likely to do with geo synchronies orbit , rocket surgery and molecular structures we wouldn’t understand.
This is nothing short of absolutely amazing.
We just witnessed history folks
Chug Meter should be standard in every guitar store!
The next logical step in the Chug™ line. Eagerly awaiting the Chug™ 4x12 cabinet fitted with 30 watt Chugbacks™ 🤘🤘
We need a rack mount version!
And VST Plugin as well
And a headstock clip-on version for the mass
And pedal version that mutes the signal if it's not properly chugging.
Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap: _"it goes to 11"_
Ola Englund: _"this one CHUGS" _*_*CLAP*_*_ _*_"HELLO!"_*
This is the best marketing ola can ever do for the chug pedal, he scientifically proved that it delivers
A totally new genre has been established today with a physical equipment. Hail to Chugs
Second day playing with my chug pedal! Does what my Marshall can"t. Tight gain for lower tunings is exatly what I needed. Thanks Ola!
I love how you leave some of your outtakes in. Fucking gets me every time.
I love that you've hijacked April Fools, and now it lives in Mid-November. Bringing smiles to our young winter faces!
Ola you are a ray of metal sunshine brother 🤘🏼
Ola is a trailblazer in chug. He is light years ahead of us and we are all hanging back in clean rock.
Ola, I recently played a Boss Blues Driver and was utterly floored by how CLEAN and BRUTAL this thing was. You should try it out in this series, I think you would have a lot of fun with the pedal! It got HEAVIER than the MXR Fullbore I've got, without that horrible can of bees sound
He did blues driver b4.
That chug meter looks official AF 🤘
Adventures with Ola: Will it chug edition! Take the chuggometer to various events/ coffee shops/ public restrooms, to find the chug in everyday life. I would find that very uplifting and joyous!
His channel is always improving. Respect.
This Chugmeter has to be in your futher gigs. Looks Awesome!
I'd be into a "Chug Meter" sticker if they became available?
I Loveee the Solar guitars with dark roasted necks.Just Beautiful!!!
Very chuggable sir, hope mr chuggles is ok by the way. Very cool video. There is no way to deny it's chugging now, the meter doesn't lie. Ola the chugger.
Hell I thought you were about to release a tuner with the chug but this is super cool too. Cheers from Texas
now THAT would be one ABSOLUTE UNIT of a tuner, but I'm absolutely here for it

every band needs a CHUG METER on stage left and right, wahahaha! love it !
I love how the peaks hang around for a bit 👌
This is ridiculously amazing
..and funny!!!!
Awesome coolness gear idea that Chug'O'Meter!
Cool idea Ola!! CHUG METER!!! I also need a CHUG METER IN MY LIFE!! You should sell these bad boys Ola!
That was awesome Ola, that Chug meter was awesome 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is another level, A new level!
He’s right! It’s chugs as indicated on the meter! 😮
I definitely feel like a Chug Meter should be commercially available! Perhaps a bit scaled down, that is pretty large but other than that I think you’d have a real winner here Ola!
Cool chug meter🤘Have a nice day🎸
Sir Ola definetly CHUGS! Cheers from Finland!
That's awesome. The pedals a bit out of my budget right now, but I dig it and it's definitely on my list.
i want a chug meter now, thanks Ola
EVERYONE Needs this! Wickedness!
I absolutely LOVE IT!!!
3:30 holy shit that tone is brutal, need it asap!!!
Our human ears are too unreliable to distinguish a chug from a non-chug. It feels good to finally have real, scientific proof of a chug.
😎
Plenty of humor, heavy chungs and an elden ring shirt - this video deserved all my attention 😎
Yes!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼now I want that meter!!!
Doctor Ola
🤟
You have to be such a smart dude to keep this show chugging proud of you and what you have made if this show and your life.Lots of love from london ont canada❤❤❤
3:48 This riff is totally Pantera. 🤘🏻
The CHUG meter piqued my interest befre the video even got started. 🤣🤔 The world needs the CHUG meter!
As a semi retired sound engineer, this my statement. This piece of equipment should be a pre requirement for any FOH rack. So, on the sound check if the guitars don't chug, they ca not play. Le5s make this law...(and loads of dosh for Ola)
Den mätaren kan vara något av det bästa jag sett på länge :D
Wow! Science-based chugging, that's unreal.
Holy smokes Ola!! Even my smartphone started chugging!!
Ola! Make the Chug meter smaller and run that production!!
Baller money, easy
I love the sound when it chugs
Through that Chug meter, replay all previous Will it Chug series to see if they were really chug.
Yess Ola should redo the previous videos with the meter
Hell yeah! will it chug is gonna get a shit ton more fun
Haha wow! We all felt the need for a chuggometer. Where to find it? U're a f**kin genius! 👍🤘🤘🤘
nice touch with the s2000 gauge cluster
Awesome stuff brother!
Good evening Mr. Englund. I think it would be amazing if you try to recreate the Darrell's tone using the CHUG PEDAL. You're the best!
Amazing.
Chug Machine!!! That's it 🤘🤘🤘
Chug meter? Ola you're a legend !
I had a thought. Make an amp with the chug meter LED's incorporated on the front. Three channels. Clean, dirty, and chug. Of course the chug channel gets a chug gain knob special for it. Doesn't go to 11, goes to chug !
There’s an -O- missing!
Very 80’s
The Chug-O-Meter
Awesome
Yes Chug Meter Where ???? A Got To Have !!!!
I think it's important to remake every Will It Chug? video every created, but with the Chug Meter. For Science.
Behold, the CHUG meter. An engineering marvel of truth and science.
This is easily the best F'N thing ever. I absolutely love every F'N thing about this!
Haha!
Soo F'N awesome!
Bravo Ola!!
LMAO!
This is far beyond anything anyone can wish for 😃🤘🤘
Ola Englund the Sweed bringing science to chug
So this is what happiness is about !!!
So it’s a signal meter? Or it actually detects how compressed a signal is? Checks the EQ? We need to know what kind of magic was used in the chug meter.
I would say it's a gain/distortion meter that detects the level of gain in the signal.
That was mind blowing
I NEED the schematics for the Chug Meter, PLEASE!
If there is any pedal I would recommend it would be the digitech TL-2 hardwire metal distortion pedal. I stand by it. It’s it’s got crazy range of sound for many styles of chugging
@Ola......hey mate,you should print a T-shirt with the Chugometer in the red with the little Mr Chug standing on top of it 🤘🤘🤘🤘😜
This thing is specialized to Solar
The Chug Meter measures the asymmetric Chug Factor in units of Chug, from -15 to +20 Chug.

That looks like my tuner!
There is one amp that I would really like to see in your will-it-chug series, that is the Cornford MK50...
The chugometers got a nice ring to it
Looks like a giant tuner.. but instead of cents, its in Chugs. You're always in tune with the CHUG..
BrOla you are amazing. I fucking love it! The chug meter is great and takes out all the guess work. Now no one has to worry if your biased(pun intended) in your reviews 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just don't call him chOla 😎
Lil chuggy guy🎸brilliant!
I just realised the hand clap is him syncing the video and audio, not just quirky intro ha!
Chug Meter : Mindblowing🤯
Cool 🤘🔥🤘 I need one… not sure if my Wampler Tumnus chugs 🤔
Imagine seeing a Chug Meter in your local clubs above the stage
When can we buy chug meters?
It's just a decibel meter, isn't it?

That's it basically. Pre amplified treble and post amplified bass.
Ya know what chugs good? Beers! Whoot party
Where can we purchase said Chug Meter? Or is it simply a transparent sticker you put over a decibel meter?
Please manufacture the chug meter. I need one of these in my life.
I now want one of those meters lol Solar, if you are listening, market this. It will sell lol. Let the thumbs up reflect what and how others think of that *chuggestion.* I will go first lol
Chug meter is pretty cool..
That's Chugtastic!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Chugzillascope should be the technical name 🤘🏼
