@@Karlgolden Could you share the settings you're using with bass ? I was interested in getting one, but I mostly play the bass in my mind and the lack of bass cab simulation prevented me from buying it.
For real! I'm still leary of products like this cause I wish the coloring was actually a change in tamber and Chararcter not just tone shifts. Sounds like snipits of different eq settings rather than changing up the complete character of an amp, which is fair l. Id probably stick this between head and cab and play around with IRs, but do V30s or cream back, or hesu demon accept ir's the same or is just one more variable that can potentially lock you in or out? I apologize for blowing your videos up lately. Question, who could you say makes the sturdiest/heavy ABY boxes? Love most everything you do.
Robert Harling GasMule I have the pedal and I confirm that it not only chages the EQ, but also the compression and the responsiveness of the amp. I really like it with my real tube preamp, sounds better that the helix.
Hola Ola. Just wanted to let you know Marshall Harrison uses one of your solar guitars. He is a one of a kind shredder that will melt your face off. This goes to show your guitars are used in many different ways and not just for death metal. A short video of different performers using your gear could lead to more sales. I will be buying a Solar with the whammy bar soon. Cheers from Northern Wisconsin !!
Ola, Dave from Toronto here. Your Testing Shit and Will it Chug? Videos are just classic. I saw your video on the Solid Studio and I was sold. Great job keep it up!
"if you dug this video... please... leave a thumbs up, subscribe, f*ck off... do whatever you want." I literally spit out the coffee I was drinking... I laughed so hard.
I get it, digital technology can do so much, but I don't, for the life of me, know how. I was (ever so slightly) a modeler and solid state hater when I played through a tube amp for the first time after playing only SS for 14 years. Combos and a kustom 100 watt and 4x10 cab. Now I'm proud owner of 6505+ my first badass electric was an active schecter hellraiser. Man.... Stuff like this and the quilter 50watt tone tone block is all I need now haha. Ill use stuff like that for practice and back up and in another year catch up and actually use it for a dedicated rig. Guitar, 2 piece(as.not out of control as I can manage) pedal board for a dual rig rig will.save so much room and weight. Could prob get away with borrowing a cab most times, but can rely on others folks to have good gear or be in the sharing spirit. Thanks for your thoughtful and transparent gear tests. You've greatly informed some of my taste and ear for whats out there. Peace & Love
Brain overloaded here. 😄 What about a video where you present your input on a basic home setup, maybe on a budget level? Witch amp and pedals, would you chose, and why, for at solid metal sound, For a noob like me, I’m overwhelmed and on my edge of understanding some of the things your talking about in your review videos, I’m watching them it though, and learning. Skål 🍻
Hahaha this series has a name now! I know you used a font you had to pay for in the intro- really cool design And- there’s another way to do impulse responses, in the form of a pedal modeled after pedals and it’s awesome! Cause Ola only tests awesome things
Do I need a pre-amp to use with this unit? I hear some other people saying that it needs it, but doesn't it have a basic preamp built in just for signal leveling? Thank you so much for your content!
NUX make great gear, best chinese pedal company bar none. I have their Mark Lee Davis bass preamp/di and it kills. Cannot be touched for the money, gives the Tonehammer and BDDI a run for their money, and really makes all other pedals sound great. Brings out the growl of my cort 5 string.
Confused. So you can literally plug the SPEAKER output of your POWER AMP / GUITAR AMP into this? Looking at the size, with no heatsinks, I can't believe that is going to be okay without explosions or melted pedals. Yet I see you doing this.... Boom. Mind. Blown.
Good stuff. With technology evolving faster than us, what’s your favorite (non-sponsored opinion😉) rigs nowadays(fly-rig/pedalboard to foh and trad amp-speaker rig)? Maybe make a comparison between options i.e. several pre-amp pedals and speaker sim pedals ie Moore radar v. Nu-x v. Helix etc.
Ola, Nux Cerberus already has the possibility to load impulse response. Using this, with third-party IR, would it have the same result as Solid Studio?
Yeah I always need to turn on/off immediately power amp with my leg while playing. So they made that sweet button. And sure I want to switch that tubes every song. Very usefull...toy
Sorry, I don't get it. Is this a replacement for DAW VST plugins or is it intended to play through a cab? If it is the latter, then what's the point? So this is basically a mini-Kemper?
Hello there Ola, Just an observation. So I'm looking at the two guitars S1.6ET LTD - LIME BURST MATTE and S1.6 LTD - BLUE BURST MATTE. Other than the 200€ price difference and colour their specs are exactly the same, on the solar guitars website at least. Both say evertune F-type bridge but in the picture it seems the S1.6 LTD - BLUE BURST MATTE has a hipshot bridge, not an evertune. I would be quite sad if that one comes with a hipshot bridge and not an evertune as the blue colour is far better looking than the green. Also this might create some problems of false advertising for you guys so... so how bout a special version at the same price as/discount on the normal version? for being so nice to point this out? :)
Is it true that when you use the amp effect you can't use the cab & mic sims at the same time, as they become disengaged from it even with them both turned on?
I love the raw sound when you have the Solid Studio Impulse off. All it needs is evil chords and diabolical tremolo guitar picking for it to be trve kvlt. By the way, this would rival Mooer's little speaker cab simulator pedal.
Hey O-la. Dig your channel. Quick question. Why aren't guitar amps modular i.e. power amp and pre-amp are separate devices. If there was a standard way to do that think of the possibilities. Say a Mesa Boogie Mark V pre-amp on a EVH 5150 power amp on a classic Marshall stack... #mindblown
Hola Ola, can you make a review of the Behringer GI100, it's a DI box with a Speaker simulator, it would be nice to see a comparison with these new IR Loaders :)
Thumbs up just on the strength of the masturbation joke. I have one of these that has been laying around for a few years N.I.B. Thought I'd try it out. Thanks Ola.
Do they tell somewhere what is the latency on this? I heard that Two Notes Torpedo cab has 3ms. I get 2ms using normal internal Sound Blaster Audigy Rx.
Ola! its necessary connect a cable into thru? or i can use my head and connect direct to the pedal and use the xlr output to my interface without a cab. Thx
I see this product being keen for players who want to use their favorite analog distortion pedals/signal paths as a preamp. Great demo as always Ola!
Sounds great been using the Mooer Preamp Live and its crazy how technology is evolving! 🎸🤘🔥
Karl Golden how are you using it? Is it going into a power amp and cab or are you just going straight to the pa? Or just in front of an amp?
So far I've just used it going straight into my interface but need to try more options. Sounded great for Bass as well!
@@Karlgolden with a mooer radar?
what amp model do you use for bass??
@@Karlgolden Could you share the settings you're using with bass ? I was interested in getting one, but I mostly play the bass in my mind and the lack of bass cab simulation prevented me from buying it.
the power amp coloring have enormous impact for the tone! never realised that before....

@@OlaEnglund Harrison is a bad, bad dude
Love it when u said "Plug in all your shits"....I truly like your honesty.
"Instant Ola". I like it. Sounds like a coffee type.
Love that Guitar yo!
Do a ''vs'' test loaded with yours IR both of them, with the Mooer Radar!
Ordered this thing, used it in through mode and it blew my head, sent it back and got a mooer ge200 and couldnt be happier.
With this Randall all hardware sounds good
Ola, Dave from Toronto here. Your Testing Shit and Will it Chug? Videos are just classic. I saw your video on the Solid Studio and I was sold. Great job keep it up!
Okay Oula... I challenge you.. Make this pedal sound great for metal : Mesa Boogie V-Twin.
Big fan btw,you are an inspiration!!
Awesome as usual. But I think in Ola's hands even the piece of wood through coffeemaker gonna sound perfectly.
"if you dug this video... please... leave a thumbs up, subscribe, f*ck off... do whatever you want."

Thanks for the review Ola! I love to see new gear and stay up on new technology.
This seems really interesting. Hoping Rabea or someone else demos this as well using the victory pre amp pedals
That is some ANGRY tone! Love it
9:00 headbang session.. fuck yeah, sounds awesome! Badass product to get em started !!
Wow! Is this the famous Colombo's egg? A must have!
pay attention for russian "Pangaea" pedal from AMT electronics, it's killer too
A direct input from the speaker output of the amp is a good feature no need for loadbox . Am really digging it .
dude thank you so much for the review of this unit
Nice... that pedal deserve some love!
Cool review!
The Cerberus can load its own IRs, so in that case the Solid Studio is a bit redundant.
Dat OOOoola chug!

I think that intro is the heaviest sound you have achieved so far.
I need one of those! That is sick! Thank you Ola!
tip: demo with clean tones primary. it actually helps more people.
In the "Ola testing shit" you should play de "14 days guitar challenge"
Would be the best cossover ever
Ola you could make a pedal out of cardboard and somehow make it chug ! Love your videos brother !
This is pretty cool, very much like zombicabs IRs which are a lot cheaper but with more options.
Good product, but I think I'll stick to Mooer Radar :)
Totally, plus the Radar is cheaper and has a better interface, when you're using custom IRs.
Has eq too. This one doesn't
Mooer Radar had a slight high frequency noise when I tried it so I am still carrying around my Engl Fireball 60...
Very original design like a blue sky :)
Very interesting pedals Ola,thanks for the Demo
Hey Ola, you look a little under the weather, have some tea or something... Demo is great as always! Cheers!
@3:54 The knob moves by itself.. haha
How about the tweaking the Zoom G3XN Ola?... Thanks...
I want that blue poplar burst.
Or do i want the green one?
That shirt should say "Keep calm and chug"
I can't wait for you to review the cerberus
Hahaha this series has a name now!
I know you used a font you had to pay for in the intro- really cool design
And- there’s another way to do impulse responses, in the form of a pedal modeled after pedals and it’s awesome! Cause Ola only tests awesome things
Well the play list name was always Ola testing shit. Just made an intro :)
Ola Englund The name grew on it pretty well! 👍🏻
I dig it, when hooked between the Satan and cab. All alone with the preamp pedal I don't like so much. But maybe RUclips does fool me....?
Do I need a pre-amp to use with this unit? I hear some other people saying that it needs it, but doesn't it have a basic preamp built in just for signal leveling? Thank you so much for your content!

Yoo man heres a tip for that focusing issue.
Get your focus right then switch it to m so it doesnt autofocus randomly.
I forgot to change back the continuations autofocus from another project I had. Fixed for next video ;)

You called a "instant ola" it seems like holy shit of sound impulse response, very similar and keep greattss refference video from this fuckn vid.
Awesome! In your opinion, Iridium or this? Cant find a comparison video
Hi Ola, great review! But just one thing I would like to opt you that kindly mention the brand name correctly! Its not Nux(naax) it's Nux(new ex)
Good stuff. With technology evolving faster than us, what’s your favorite (non-sponsored opinion😉) rigs nowadays(fly-rig/pedalboard to foh and trad amp-speaker rig)? Maybe make a comparison between options i.e. several pre-amp pedals and speaker sim pedals ie Moore radar v. Nu-x v. Helix etc.
This was really entertaining. I hate Metal (sorry...) but you were really fun to watch. :)
Ola, Nux Cerberus already has the possibility to load impulse response. Using this, with third-party IR, would it have the same result as Solid Studio?
Where is the sound coming from the computer monitors? Or the amp?
Ola, test the Solid Studio with the old Metalzone. I guess it would be great too since Metalzone has found to be a nice preamp pedal...
The cerberus already has a built in IR loader but not as customisable as the Solid Studio
Yeah I always need to turn on/off immediately power amp with my leg while playing. So they made that sweet button. And sure I want to switch that tubes every song. Very usefull...toy
So wait does this device have the amp sims built in or is it just the IR ?
Sorry, I don't get it. Is this a replacement for DAW VST plugins or is it intended to play through a cab? If it is the latter, then what's the point? So this is basically a mini-Kemper?
Sounds a bit thin compared to the other digital stuff you have reviewed?
Great video! Also, I'd play a Solar Bass.
Hello there Ola,
Just an observation.
So I'm looking at the two guitars S1.6ET LTD - LIME BURST MATTE and S1.6 LTD - BLUE BURST MATTE.
Other than the 200€ price difference and colour their specs are exactly the same, on the solar guitars website at least.

Also this might create some problems of false advertising for you guys so... so how bout a special version at the same price as/discount on the normal version? for being so nice to point this out?
:)
Sweet axe! Do the Solar basses come in that finish too!?
Is it true that when you use the amp effect you can't use the cab & mic sims at the same time, as they become disengaged from it even with them both turned on?
You can use both at the same time
the nux solid studio already built in preamp ???? thanks
Kinda reminds me of the Vox tonelab amp modeler with out all the extra features. Is it the same price point
is my question.
Is that also a load box? When you connect tube amp to nux solud studio, no need to connect it to a cab?
I love the raw sound when you have the Solid Studio Impulse off. All it needs is evil chords and diabolical tremolo guitar picking for it to be trve kvlt.
By the way, this would rival Mooer's little speaker cab simulator pedal.
Can you load a custom IR file on there and have the power amp simulation turned on AT THE SAME TIME?
Good to see it works from the speaker out so you don't have to simulate the power amp.
Could you connect this straight into a cab?
Hey O-la. Dig your channel. Quick question. Why aren't guitar amps modular i.e. power amp and pre-amp are separate devices. If there was a standard way to do that think of the possibilities. Say a Mesa Boogie Mark V pre-amp on a EVH 5150 power amp on a classic Marshall stack... #mindblown
Pls do an SOD set up video
So many impulse jokes running through my head right now.
Hola Ola, can you make a review of the Behringer GI100, it's a DI box with a Speaker simulator, it would be nice to see a comparison with these new IR Loaders :)
What about an old pedal testing like EH Metal Muff pedal? Nice vid as always!
Thumbs up just on the strength of the masturbation joke. I have one of these that has been laying around for a few years N.I.B. Thought I'd try it out. Thanks Ola.
Do they tell somewhere what is the latency on this? I heard that Two Notes Torpedo cab has 3ms. I get 2ms using normal internal Sound Blaster Audigy Rx.
thanks
XLR out is nice
can this be used as a "clean channel" for pedals?
Ola, how do you think this compares to the Mooer radar?
Hello Ola!!! What Guage strings do you use and what tuning are you in???
Nucks? New-Ex, bro. New-Ex.
Like the review!! So this work as a load box too? Can I use to record my tube heads direct to my interface without a di box?
No, needs a load. (He has it 'in line' between the amp and the speaker-cab, but the speaker cab is still connected and making noise).
Hello Ola! will you do a review on the AMT Pangaea series?
Ola, the site is nuxEfx.com
NUX Solid Studio can accept amp speaker out 8/16ohms thru input?
how do you select the 3rd party IR since there is no screen?
Funny how at first glance that pedal looked just like something built by Strymon.
Hello!
Is it possible to use Nux Solid Studio with a bass guitar and load bass guitar IRs into it?
Were you drunk when filming this?🍻 lol
So does this have an effects loop
from which song is that riff at 6:42 it sounds killer
If you load your own impulses don't forget to turn off amp simulation otherwise it messes up your sound.
Ola since you've played with the Solid Studio and the Radar which do you like better?
Yeah which one
Why is the wall moving?
Ola! its necessary connect a cable into thru? or i can use my head and connect direct to the pedal and use the xlr output to my interface without a cab. Thx
It's not necessary, the thru signal is mostly for monitoring through a cab if you don't want to hear the simulation
Radar or solid studio which1 is better ?
Ola, can you share you own IR to download please?
