best way to start a Monday
Yes 😍
In my place, Monday,it's almost end.
Yo its my favourite maggot! Love ur content dude.
What's up Big Ray ✌
@@joshww2339 WASSUP HOMIE!
Ola: this is probably one of the smaller heads I have tried
You're giving me hope here, Ola
This actually sounds a good bit better than I expected.
2:02 and 2:18 THE EVERY SINGLE VIDEO RIFF IS STILL ALIVE!
haha never seen anyone say this but I always think it when I hear it
It’s catchy though
For all we know this thing could be big since Ola is a giant
Indeed: His Engl cab is a 16x12
@@damiendelvallee7256 Bro, a "16x12" was MY joke. You stole it from me.
@@ethandonston517 Indeed, and I also had to travel through time two days prior to post it before you... Ahahahha, I'm so evil!
That's what the company is banking on.
its 2021 and people still think stealing jokes is a big deal
Ola is literally my guitar tone guide! Hands down he ALWAYS gets the best tone 🙌
Well, sometimes he's testing amps and he gets this amazing kickass metal tone but then he keeps tweaking and tweaking and that amazing tone is gone, it's gotten muddy or fizzy or whatever. In all fairness, i love Ola's videos cause he tests a lotta new gear that might go unnoticed cause music stores can't carry every brand and he friggin rips on guitar.
Ola: if you want an amplifier today, there is so much to choose
Brazilian taxes bureau: Hold my beer
Você pode comprar um Merdeoro baratinho
Vai de Pedrone
How imported product prices are calculated in Brazil:
1) Convert MSRP from USD to BRL (5x);
2) now double that number;
3) ???
4) profit
The good thing is that it will fit a small package that MAYBE can pass through the custom unchecked, if you're lucky.
You have the cheapest priced drugs in the world! I have no sympathy for you, what so ever! What you can buy for 5 to 10 U.S dollars, costs 100 U.S dollars in the U.S.
Ah man, five years have passed, but Ola didn't change a day; he still says "Huge and Kettner".
God bless
Fucking love it. It sounds all 80s and compressed like from an album on vinyl
That thing is roughly the size of a burrito. Considering you can fit that head in your guitar case I think it's pretty rad. One of these would probably be a killer backup head for a finicky tube amp.
the third one is the spirit of vintage (clean/fender tones)
Honestly that's the best metal tone I've ever heard out of a Hughes and kettner
Triamp and gm 40. Coreblade. Switchblade.
@@jconner3891 what about Alex lifeson sig?
My tri amp
It doesn't matter how it sounds, it's just adorable :D
that’s what she said...? I think......??
@@falluz If it was a loud kitten, probably yes ^
@@TidusfromZanarkand just watch "the office" serie, haha 😁
@@falluz thats what she says, but she will gravitate towards the heavy pull of the 100 watter, or even better the big german diezel heckbert.
The reason this sounds good is because of the cab &mics, not because of the amp head
Bad amps sound bad through a bad cab. This seems like a great backup amp.
How else are you supposed to plug a head?
Every time he makes these videos I'm constantly screaming in my head "BOOST IT WITH A TUBESCREAMER".
I would imagine the average person spending £180 on an amp isn't spending £130 on a pedal, or really anything on pedals.
Would be nice to see with some kind of boost though.
@@xneurianx I'm pretty sure most people who play metal know a boost is pretty much necessary. I have a Joyo Zombie and a bunch of pedals. Some people like smaller, cheaper amps, especially if you have neighbors a wall away.
@@xneurianx also, you can get a decent tubescreamer clone for cheap as $30. What a great time to be poor and alive.
@@buffalothebison4850 yeah I love my little Joyo Tubescreamer clone 😂 Upgraded to an SD-1 for 50 bucks recently and love that even more! It sounds great with my Marshall DSL and tightens up the low end better than the Tubescreamer!
@@buffalothebison4850 Fair point, well made!
So many amazing riffs in this video including the riff from “By Silent Screaming”
Where is it?
@@kaic9712 Is this a riff of by Silent Screaming? It sounds nothing like it. O.o
@@kaic9712 thats cemetery gates by pantera
@@tom_dilley you are absolutely correct I messed up big time I was half asleep
I brought a Hotone British Invasion micro head with a 1x12 to a show once just to get a reaction from people. The best part was when I actually started playing and how their looks went from laughing too surprised that it could actually sound good 😂 it definitely was not loud enough to fill the entire venue but, once we put a mic to it and ran it through the monitors it sounded massive!
Did it chug?
That Solar is a beauty
Really impressive ! Size doesn't matter, I'll send this video to my ex-girlfriend!
Uhh...oof
Brah...
Crushing Axes.. I see whatcha did there. I see you workin'. 😁⛧🤘
I’m the words WWE legend Ron Simmons....DAMN!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the biggest things I've noticed, the cabs and speakers make the sound. You need to invest in either a good combo or a good cab. A 4x12 packed with Greenbacks or V30s will be heavy AF. You just need a halfway decent amp. I'd argue you could gig with one of these if you have a good cab and mic.
@Ola Englund Hey men !!
the smallest head which sends the big sound is at Hotone nano legacy,
I recommend the "Heart Attack" rectifier, and / or "Captain Sunset" SLO.
They have an effects loop, you can put an EQ in it to fine tune it and you can also send the preamp part directly to the power amp of the big tube head.
:)
Try the Highway 50 5150 dude.
I like the sound of it," but I can hear the limitations." I still think the BOSS and KATANA amps. " Blackstar and Randal are still my favorites. I love what you do Ola. I love the simplicity and honesty.
Everything Ola touches turns to gold. Fucking love the content, bro!
I'm not a bassist, (although I play bass) but I think Ola should do more bass rig reviews.
We need a comparison to the $170 20w joyo zombie next Ola!
that would be nice
Vs the $60 Hotone 5150..
Jep that would be nice. But I think the Zombie will blow this thing away. I habe the new version with foot switch... I wouldn't hesitate to use my little zombie rig live... oh playing live... miss those days
There is a Zombie II now
@@XlouietheflyX Jep, the one i have. Comes with a foodswitch and a tone Control for each channel
You know I was thinking about a smaller head for playing at home. So the amps that came in my mind were the spirit of metal and the orange micro dark. I played both in my local store and damn the micro dark was much better in my opinion. You can get more tones out of it and it's cheaper to. The spirit of vintage is great I think but I don't like the metal that much. I love h&k but yeah.
It's currently just over €200 in Europe, and it's pretty impressive in terms of size and output.
But it has too much limitations on controls and sound...
The 'sagging' could be replaced with a tone contour that lets you dial in the right mids.
For my money I'd rather save up a bit more and probably go for a small Marshall head.
Or a Joyo.
It is designed so you say, hey sounds good, I guess I should look at the bigger brother (Blacksprit 200) with all the controls.
Love the quiet chugging riffs at the end that slowly get louder.🤘🏻😎
I'll stick with the Zombie II. the sound doesn't fall apart as you turn it up.
Plus if I'm correct doesn't the zombie to have AFX loop? That's a deal breaker right there . And the zombie to of I'm not mistaken is actually a little bit cheaper and comes with a tube in the pre amp..
@Travis D. true but the zombie 2 is hitting real close. It even has 2 channels and a footswitch. Plus the FX loop is the #1 reason. I have a orange micro terror and the ONLY thing i hate is that it doesn't have an FXloop. The stomp box version of the Micro Terror however does so that probably better than the original micro terror. It sucks that my tube amp blew a transformer because going back to the orange limits what pedals i can use. Plus, lol, the zombie also has a better eq. The orange suffers the same eq problems that this hughes and kettner does with only a treble bass cut. So u want more bass, it cuts treble and vice versa.
@Travis D. Yes lol. The micro does handle pedals extremely well. Mainly just not delays and reverbs at high gain or medium gain. I bought the orange mirco when it first came out so im kinda salty a little lol. Then the dark terror came out and i was like man!! should have waited. Then years go by and the micro stamp comes out and now im pulling my hair out lol. I may just get a micro stamp and use with the orange and the fx loop which should give me more volume for like a 2x12 and be able to use my time based pedals.
@Travis D. most definitely!!!
That honestly looks pretty ridiculous sat on that oversize cab lol
I absolutely love how teeny tiny it is on top of that gigantic cab.
Sometimes I just watch these videos so I could listen to Ola's chugs. That's so satisfying af.
Ola must have recorded this a while ago. Before his haircut and new tattoos
And the pink eye!
@@bryanterry415 lmao right hahaha
And the Jackson he gave away is still lingering in the back (can you tell I’m bitter that I didn’t win it lol)
You should check out the "Hotone Nano Legacy: Heart Attack"
Tiny solid state amp head the does a really good Mesa boogie D. Rect' sound (especially for the price)
With cab emulated line out, size of a boss pedal. I may slightly prefer the Highway 50 (5150), but both beat this thing
Have u heard the Hotone Eagle ? The mock ENGYL ? Has me very close to gettn, just need a lil tiny push to grab 1 , 80$ why not?
First hell yeah! H&K is awesome! I have 7 amps by Hughes&kettner...
3 here and both rotosphere they are my favorite amp company. The Triamp are the greatest ever imo.
They're located just a couple kilometers away from me \m/
@@MothmanCold aaah, Rotosphere, I'm jealous!
I do have a Triamp MkI though, so there's that. 😆
@@revylokesh1783 I have a mki as well, Honestly I’d have to tribute my love of them to Carl bell and fuel. I’ll tell you right now if you ever find a MKii rotosphere on reverb grab it!!! It’s worth every penny I promise you. I live in the states and had to order it from a guy in the netherlands. I’d do it 100x over.
Turns out that Crate Powerblock was way ahead of it's time.
I've got an old Crate practice amp that I use as a preamp, I'm very tempted to cram a 50 or 100 watt class D power amp inside of the cutdown case and use it as a gigging amp.
Wow, you truely have a video for anything guitar-related that I'm researching.
Iz smol amp
thank u barack obmama
@@OmiP42 you’re welcome
@@Selzor oblombo wen wil u com back and save americer
What is ur last name
@@thesteamycreamofdualjabbar6486 when he finds the gohstbusterz
The Shiny ENGL emblem on the cab always gets me excited.
Good honest review, maybe a demo in a Bugera T5 in the future? Very affordable 5w tube head.. And it's in a metal casing 🤘🏻
Great video as always! Best way to start the week 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
sounds cool and is a testament to how far gear has come over the last 2 decades...
Still, I could never justify buying this when I could buy a Katana for the same price.
Man ola you can fly dude. Cool riffs Darrel Abbott must have had a little impact on your playing
Having a single tone knob is obviously the dumbest feature ever in an amp and should be outlawed, but i think this thing actually has some really good sounding distortion
I think orange started that
Why would you need any more? Don’t you have a 10 band eq pedal?
@@Ottophil because an eq pedal only eqs whatever signal comes out of the amp. If the signal is biased a certain way, the pedal can only do so much.
@@Ottophil the eq pedals for tweaking, not to mold your whole tone
Hughes and Kettner coreblade was such a beast but they dont make it anymore. Switchblade was great too.
Surprised you didn't try it with an overdrive, Ola. A TS would probably help push the mid range. As it is, it sounds better than my Orange Micro Dark without an OD pedal, but the Orange really comes to life with an OD in front of it.
I think that the "sag" knob and the tone knob works together to tweek your sound. Just saying.
Bought one recently...Pros: it's loud, it's small/lightweight Cons: raw/rough sounding, no FX Loop - an OD pedal in the front helped a little and I'm going to try a 6 band EQ in the front also once it arrives
Not bad for $250! But at that price for a starter amp it seems the Boss Katana 50 is still hard to beat.
At least Boss came with a speaker
I have a Katana 50 and that thing is a badass little amp. It's almost unbelievable how inexpensive it is for what you get and it's really loud. 😆
I have both for the studio. Both have their own place, portability of the Boss is nice though. The H&K Def needs some eq changes on it but it works just fine
4:43 music to my ears man what u talkin about?? lol super clarity right there and phat!!
Ola, it would be interesting to have to try these things on a 1x12 or 2x12 as you mentioned, a lot of us don’t have massive 4x12s and it would be interesting to hear the differences. I for one only run 1 1x12 Mesa Thiele.
07:08 nice 👍
With the mics blended sounds great and the sag at 9 o clock, thanks for bringing good things always, from Costa Rica cheers and Pura Vida
Love the wall of guitars. Looks great.
Every time he said Nano Metal I thought he was saying Nanu Nanu
This sounded quite awesome for size / price. Probably hear this every day but try boosting these puppies. I would buy this tone in a pedal form where I can run into an interface or poweramp.
In the 90s I had a H&K amp called ATS 120 (IIRC). From what I can tell via my iPad, it sounded not too different from this. It was great in the bedroom, but there was not much left in a band context. It might have just been me failing to dial it in properly, but I wasn’t the only one who tried.
Is it just me or the best sounding microphone in your videos is always that SM58 XD
I'd like to hear him use a 57.
Sounds a helluva lot better than I expected...
I wonder what that thing would sound like with a graphic EQ and an overdrive? Great. Now I’m probably going to buy one. Thanks, Ola.
Yep, and double or triple tracked it would be a pro sounding rig.
cool , was the "nano nano" a More n Mindy reference ? lol I'm still happy with the Bantam Zombie mini tube amp. It rocks
Unreal. From such a small head. That's amazing imo.
This tone screams something that would do a Metallica cover justice.
.... Justice for all?
@@AarPlays indeed. Honestly the tone reminds me of Master of Puppets and the Black Album mixed...
Nice sound out of the amp...I am really digging that solar v behind the set up...
Boss katana same price . I tapped the single speaker then to cabinet. Blows this away
should have plugged an OD or screamer in to see how it might tighten things up, or just for the hell of it
Can’t wait to show up with this to practice 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍻 should be called mork n mindy
Aww I was waiting for you to pull out your trusty overdrive. It usually makes everything sound better.
It'd be great to see a shootout between the H+K nano series and the Joyo Bantamp series
Bought one of these about a month ago , very chunky !!
For as small as that is, sounds pretty good
Been waiting for this video. Just got one of these last week.
It has a pretty legit thrash tone when you just plug straight into it.
Always love the huges knetter amps
Cool video but I definitely agree that it sounds a bit too “scooped” maybe a green pedal in front of it? Or a precision drive pedal perhaps would “goose” things up a bit? Just saying. It is cool for its size. I think a positive grid Spark would be a better choice? IMO. Ola your chops are getting tighter and tighter every time I listen. Cheers, peace and love
If you already have pedals, this is a better option than a spark imo. If you don’t have a boost, eq and other fx you want then a spark would be great but this would be great for practices as far as I can tell if you already have a couple pedals to complement it on a small board as you can use a cab from a rehearsal space.
Yeah you’re right, I was thinking for the price of the Spark isn’t too bad and sounds great but if you already have pedals this probably wouldn’t be a bad choice for the $$$
@@davidlawson7786 the spark isn’t something I was massively interested, but it seems a bit like a Boss Katana more geared towards practicing and learning but in my opinion as someone who’s both a bedroom/hobby player and in a band having a rig that can do a bit of both is gamechanging
@@NOKnova yeah it’s a great time to be a musician in general if you’re into gear and options, the quality of everything has increased dramatically in the last couple of years, it’s relatively easy to find something that sounds good without too much fuss. Btw Boss katana is really amazing, I always enjoy a nice practice session plugged into my little katana 50. Good times.
@@davidlawson7786 both the other guitarist and vocalist in my band have katana 50’s. Great amps but I’m not so keen on the speaker. For studio I have a H&K Grandmeister with a v30 cab so I’d probably switch the katana’s speaker to a v30 or similar if I got one as the amp models and effects are nice. Been moving towards modelling though, got an HX Stomp last December which is killer and I’m eyeing one of those new H&K ampman pedals to complement it in the next few months for a travel pedalboard rig that can go straight into backline with a DI for when gigs start again.
Sounds great for what it is.
Pretty Cool....for the bedroom dorm rm etc
Love your playing Ola
Nanu Nanu made my day! Such a good reference
It's pretty much the "ultra" channel from the Blackspirit-200 amp, which is modeled after the "ultra" channel on the Grandmeister 40 amp.
There ya go....
Seems like the best small nanu nanu amp head so far is the Marshall DSL1
Orange Micro Dark still the better small amp head?
I played both and i would say yes, i prefer the Orange by far!
@@riffrigerator666 thanks!
@Haltizer and now I need to read up on the Randall Diavlo...
Joyo Bantamp, Hotone nano series
Orange is a good backup, its still too loud for home though if you have neighbours and looks stupid at a gig so I don't see the point.
If it has an FX loop, throw an EQ pedal in there. If not, put it in front.
Sounds great.... for it's size 🤘
That Engl cab is a real beaut
Would probably sound like garbage if I set it up but impressive that ola can get a good sound out of something so small
this amp looks somewhat like a collaboration between Hotone and JHS
I really really want one of these cuz I hated the zombie amp and this one sounds like it will be excellent!!
I'd like to hear it with the sag down but the master up. That thing would be good enough for the audience.
Maybe a hotone heart attack head is worth mentioning. Has great rectifier tone, quite loud for being only 5W, has an effect loop, smaller and cheaper than the one in the vid. :)
seems like a solid state dark terror essentially
Request granted that was sick dude ..beast riffs made my am
This amp has that old school solid state pantera vibe to my ears.
But you can get a Marshall DSL1 for just a few extra euros.
maybe you can add a small cabinet to it. To hear the difference. With a Amp like that, it should be quite big. It would definitely be interesting
This solar is so sick
Love H&K. My Spirit 200 is everything I need
I thought this was a "Will it Chug" at first and was wondering where the clap was after 5 seconds lol
I´ve been irrationally waiting the whole video for him to play Paperwalls by Strung Out just because of the tone.
Well. For what it's worth. You can make any head smaller if you have the power in another box....
Would of loved to see a OD used on there as a boost.
