This pedal makes ENGL amp sounds like my metal2000 preset on Fender Mustang lmao
lol I was thinking the same thing. The Mustang will chug with a ton of tweaking but that Metal 2000 is garbage...
aahahaahh bro thats so fucking true
Which version of the Mustang? Or does it matter? 😂
I have a Mustang GT40, and I made my own preset, the metal 2000 preset on it kinda sucks
@@mattthemetalguitarist my favorite settings on the mustang are american 90 and british 60 but thats just me
I think Ola should make some "Solar pedals". He just knows so well what sounds good.
🤣
WOW YES
Like a $80-90 line of them. Cheap like the behringer line. But not copies originals by Solar. Lol
WE NEED A MOOER/SOLAR SATAN PREAMP PEDAL! Ola and mooer are friends so idk why it can't happen. They already have the satan in the ge250, ge300, and mooer preamp live. Unless ola wants to make a pedal like the victory kraken that'd be sweet.
He helped creating Wampler's Dracarys, maybe you'd like it (:
I have this pedal, and like it.
Keep in mind, what somebody likes, somebody else might not like. A lot of music gear is absolutely subjective to the individual.
Ain't *that* the truth! And something that sounds good with one rig might sound like ass through another. (Voice of experience talking.)
And it could sound good or worse with different speakers, amp or pickups.
Me too. Good pedal.
As a Boss MetalZone MT-2 user, I know this all too well. I can make that thing roar, but lots of people seem to have an opposite experience.
Ola, you’re the man...that is all!
Blackstar makes a big ass Metal pedal that runs off like 22 volts and a 12AX7 that sounds pretty damn nice.
I was just planning on saving up for my first ever Solar guitar, and Coroner being my #1 favorite band, I couldn't possibly be more excited about a release of a guitar model. This is killer.
Awesome! I really want one.
Lucky
Coroner is my favorite band you have great taste .
Agreed. That guitar looks amazing.
🤣
🤢
🤮
Please do a will it chug on a boss acoustic simulator
Oh God 😂
Plus boss DD'3
spoiler, it doesnt
Always here before the release thanks to the Solar website \m/
Wow, Tommy Vetterli....absolutely love his work with Coroner. Perhaps a coffee with Ola guest?????
Yes please
This needs to happen.
This absolutely needs to happen
Would be amazing!
Man, I'm just sitting here loving the sounds and Ola's like "it's flat", "it's boxy", "it's too much", shows how much I know 😂
The black star amps are such a good price point and quality sound. I know this is a pedal but the amps give you that same distortion. I love em
I love this channel not even for the gear anymore it's just how strange Ola is
It has that late 70s, early 80s sound. Almost like a "Kill them All" sound.. if you were listening to it via VHS..
Considering it sounds like an old hot rodded Marshall abs Metallica cut all the mids that sounds about right !?
I thought that pedal sounded heavy and great for lead or rythm but yeah you guys heard Olga say it was shit so you do the uber sheep thing you have been enslaved your whole lives to do and repeat exactly what Ola says ! Bah baaaah sheeple. Animal garden
@@auntjenifer7774 umm no sheep here. Just saying my peice. Been a metal guitarist for almost 30 years and have heard better pedals. Even Metallica upgraded since kill em all..
@Endless Nameless True. I've heard worse as well.
not enough treble
I have it, and it does the job alright. It's relatively cheap and it's able to give you a well-rounded, nicely defined distorsion, which is exactly what I was looking for, instead of your typical "Metal Zone" sort of high gain, noisy distorsion which is more common to find for that price range. Personally I like it, but you need to be looking for that sort of sound in order to fully enjoy it.
Great video ! I own this Blackstar LT Metal and the Boss ML-2 , and use each one for different type of distortion sounds. I like them both.
Funny, i was deciding if i should either get that or the ml-2, what do you think is better?
The audience is correct in that the ISF knob fully clockwise is British, CCW is American. I have the HT Metal pedal, and that's what it says in the manual for that one as well.
This is literally the perfect tone for a rhythm guitarist. Not to cutting but a good compliment to the base and absolutely would not drown out the lead.
The ISF knob sounds like a mid-frequency filter sweep.
Sound so clean when it comes in riffs u can hear so clean
You are my inspiration to keep going, Ola.
You okay there buddy?
It sounded okay through the amps I gigged with in college. Worked well, audience weren’t complaining. Never was perfect though.
"It has a star on it... it says metal on it." 10/10 quality review 😂
6/10
The lighting and production on this video is amazing. And I love that there is no clutter in the video. Only the basic gear and Ola.
I sold a mxr fullbore metal to Fox and i buy this pedal 1 weeks ago. And was the best what i did.
Actually i using this with a boss súper overdrive on a 100w amp transistor with a 4x12 cab AND sound killer. Its the best cheapee option you can find in Argentina.
Ola today i join the comunity , thanks to make all the days less horrible with you videos . We love so much
just turn the gain all the way and you're good to go
I agree
6:10
This up to 6:12 in a loop as ringtone pls make it happen.
Actually it sounds awesome through impulses, I was playing mine through my two notes cab impulse loader with an EQ after the pedal and scooped out 400 hz out by about -6 DB and it sounds great.....the EQ after the pedal is key to scoop out 400 hz and 600hz
Love the short bit of Sanitarium you played on clean. Wondering if anyone else heard it.
Matte black, 24 frets, floating bridge, hh pickup configuration, reverse headstock. My perfect guitar!
I used a Blackstar HT-DISTX for years. Chugs!
I used to use a pre-amp version of this pedal that was dual channel with a 12ax7 tube in it. It had separate Gain/Volume control and three band EQ along with the ISF. It sounded great.
HT Metal? I've used HT Metal pedal several years with Blackstar HT 100 Stage (Mark 1) head and Marshall 1960 vintage cabinet. I've never been fully satisfied with the sound to be honest. It sounds muddy and I've grown to almost hate it. Still I play it though :)
Toni Leppinen I will admit that I’ve always used a 10-band EQ pedal in my rig. I can shape and morph the sound to whatever I want for the most part. It is my secret weapon lol
This pedal sounds to me like it's screaming for more high frequencies to reach its potential. The base tone is really good. most metal distortion pedals have such extreme lows and highs making them unusable. This almost sounds like a boosted tube preamp. Very smooth and tight. Who knows. maybe keep the iSF near a middle setting boost stick a graphic EQ pedal after it and may get into awesomeness. Thank you Ola for all you do. I have been following your video since your ""non speaking "days when you would just demo amps.
"There's a star on it." LMAO
That pedal is the flattest sounding pedal ive ever heard lol
It sounded like a old ass tube amp.. not a good one either...
@@chrisdigital sounds like a marshall mg
What a pants pedal
Thats Blackstar for ya 😅
This pedal is a piece of $hit, nothing I did made it sound good. I'm glad Ola did this review.
5:57 - A New Level by Pantera
Makes an awesome thrash metal practice tone.
Woowwwwwwww... Tommy Vetterli is one of my Guitar Heros. Nice one :)
1:48 sound like sanitarium woah
i'm pretty sure it mean't to sound like sanitarium
I think its either a kreator or a megadeth song. Definitely heard it somewhere before
i think it's one
Carlo Quibot definitely not
It's the same arpeggio i think...soo..it does
Wow! I used to play to coroner all the time in middle school. Tommy’s a long time fave of mine. What a get!
Finally! Ola plays a distortion pedal into a clean preamp!
Thank you, sounds great :)
I would tweak the amp a bit, the pedal doesn't sound as good as it can be when the amp is at noon.
7:30 - why you don't plug a distortion pedal into a power amp directly, sounds like crap.
that clap at the beginning honestly scared me lol
I love all the different microphones
Tommy Vetterli is a beast of a guitar player and a great Producer too, congrats! Please do a Episode "Coffee with Ola" with Tommy. I would love that. Have a great day and also a great Weekend. Love from Switzerland
If it helps, the left side is American and the right side is British. I LOVE these videos and I named one of my kitties after you...
I have a Blackstar S1-100 EL34B head with a Blackstar S1 412 PRO cab with their custom-voiced Celestion V30's. It's a monster. I like to keep the ISF knob halfway (directly in-between USA & Brit). It's also a monster to use as a power amp mule for running preamp pedals. I'll probably be putting out a new video this weekend with the Diezel Herbert preamp pedal. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!
Me too!!!
In all honesty this is the best pedal I've ever bought.
Don't know if you are being sarcastic. But from what i hear here and in other tests: it sounds really good. I will buy one next month
i love how the like/dislike ratio is always good no matter if the product sucks or not, way to go ola!
Ola, i always love your videos. they are always always entertaining and always keep my interest. Thanks again!!
Woah that first clap's echo was massive
lol 1:55 sounded like you were going for the Tristram theme from Diablo there for a sec :v
The petal was not anything to be excited about but that artist guitar is outstanding. Coroner live was a awesome experience.
Finally Blackstar LT metal. Yay
Weird, that pedal feels like something you would just constantly keep fiddling with to find a better tone, but never quite get it. Chasing the distortion pedal dragon, in a sense.
Back a few years ago, I had a great opinion of Blackstar but after that little amp and now this pedal, I’m having my doubts!
Definitely has that og black metal sound
Nice for 70 bucks, blackstar makes good equipment..thank you to the great ola the swede for helpful video...
its a great all around metal band sound pedal
Thomas Vetterli is a fucking legend , probably one of the best metal guitarist to walk the earth . I am however a bit bias because Coroner is my favorite band and their Swiss .
Next review COOLMUSIC INSANE distortion pedal thanks Ola! From philipines 🇵🇭
Ola makes life worth living
Nothing beats waking up with Ola in your cup!
"I try out... stuff."
What kind of.... "Stuff"? Sex toys? You bad boy. I'm telling Mummy!
The implication is that he can use literally anything that could make his sound chug.
*Yes... even soup cans.*
@@ProjectCreativityGuy96 well then.....
Weirdos and sheeple every where.
Another amazing Will It Chug episode!!! Blackstar is the BEST!!! ( In my opinion )
No decent mid-range. Mids are so scooped that they’re unrecoverable.
@@semiografo you never tried an HT series amp by Blackstar or the LT drive
Man, I've already seen anothers guys testing this pedal, and, they say that the volume is very poor. The amp without the amp engaged was much more louder. Greetings From Brazil Ola!
Love how you chugged it. Awesome riffs as well.
Greetings from Indonesia, Ola!
0:00 great flutter echo you've got there Ola. Perhaps consider getting a diffuser. Just place it on a blank space of wall facing the sound source and bye bye flutter echo. I made one and they work super well.
I liked the pantera intro he did 😀.I think it's not only the pedal it's self but the whole gig you are using plays a major role to the result your re getting.definitely it did the job for a low cost pedal
I have one of those pedals, it made a great paperweight. I just hang onto it in the collection for some reason. I do honestly use it for bass now and then.
5:58 A NEW LEVELLLLLLLLLLLLLL OF CONFIDENCEEEEEEE AND POWERRRRRRRRRRR
Would love to see a cabinet shoot out! Revv Mesa Marshall orange
I've had this pedal, the LT Dist and the LT Drive and the only one that was worth keeping was the LT Dist. One of the best sounding distortion pedals you will ever hear is the Biyang Metal End King, and the crazy thing is is that it's also only $70 dollars new. I've had one for 12 years and it completely smokes every distortion pedal I've ever owned or heard in the last 35 years. It even has a switchable amp simulator. The only other pedal that rivals it is the Landmine Distortion Pedal.
Yep that LT Dist sounds killer ! A keeper. Perfect for old Def Leppard stuff. When they were good..
Interestingly, I use one of these as a boost for my little Fender Champion 600 garage rig with the gain almost all the way down. I dig the heck out of it for that.
That sounds like it would probably rule as something to layer in a mix with a brighter amp.
Been waiting for this one
Tommy is one of my favorite guitarists. Awesome that he has a signature Solar
I generally put a TS before it to give it a less boxy sound and for the kick on the gain.
I think the real test should be can it make a Line 6 Spider 2 amp chug!! Nothing chugs on that amp
I feel bad you had to even record this ... sorry bro ,and viewers if your face was anything like mine after hearing this tone at least we got a laugh out of it. And some quality ola time.
OH SHIT! Some Schwarzenegger at 05:00 "Ann dan ya mooovin óut"
We need to see that monster on a My Guitar segment and string change of that Gotoh \m/
I have this pedal and NEVER use it by itself. Add an Ibanez Tube Screamer or a Boss SD1 before the blackstar LT metal and, voilá! You got an awesome metal (Van halen style) tone. Both gains set at less than 40%.
That clap at the beginning had some crazy flutter echo
Seems like this would have potential if paired with a good EQ pedal.
Actually. I've just bought (a couple of days ago) and I use i plug it into my audio source EQ pedal). It sounds pretty good. I haven't got the time yet to really get into it, but with quick settings it sounds pretty nice. If you have a good amp and some good pickups you can really get the best of it.
If you are interested you can watch this video on my page where I use it for the first time in a cover ruclips.net/video/dI1BrtNTQEg/видео.html
Never changed my pickups and my amp is a Black Star Fly 3
Now I want one.
hell yeah, vetterli is a beast on the guitar and an absolute tone god! i wet my pants when i heard him just soundchecking...
there's something oddly familiar about seeing Ola with an ENGL Savage
Sound great if you dont want to paid alot and want a pedal that does a litle of everything .. plays iced earth, iron maiden , tool etc perfect for basment playing . But at one point you have to play with your amp eq tout . I play with a joyo blue jay and harley benton celection 2 ×12 and i add a overdrive for more gain . Sound great
down down down up up up down , A new level :D
Ow!!! I had my speakers up and you smacked me in the face at the start! 😂
Why didn you put the gain all the way up isr mid treble 3/4 ????
*The SOLAR guitar is by far the best, and its designs kill !!!*
ola for this series i would suggest getting stuff that would seem hard to chug, like clean practice amps and stuff. i would rather see garbage amps being chugged to the limit than standard products being shown in a video that looks a lot like a showcase of a product. i still love it though, really big fan of it.
I had one of these, I loved it
Killer pedal, made for metal !
When we will see the Randall Satan 50 vs ENGL Savage 👀
Hey Ola. Try to think of the ISF as s glorified mid Freq shift. I'm no fan of most Blackstar's stuff. It's not going to change.
awesome guitar
Been using thing for 2 years now.
