    Ola off topic a bit, but i just received my solar S 1.6 blue matte. It's my first solar and i just wanted to congratulate you on a GREAT product. I compared it to my Mayones Duvell master build which shares the same specs and its really freaking close man. That's a 3300 euro guitar! Thank you for making true quality instruments at 1000 euros. No more from the big "I" company. you've got a lifetime customer from me. As demand gets even bigger, PLEASE don't ever turn into the other companies and keep it real like you are now. You're the man!!!

    • @apostolispaspalakis2627
      @apostolispaspalakis2627 6 лет назад +2

      Yea I agree, but to be honest even nameless and toneforge get the job done very well. I'm just awed by the new s burl matte guitar. I was honestly hesitant at first to buy a solar because of Indonesia. My ibanez 7 premium's qc was a disaster so I was sceptical. I honestly cant put this solar down. I'm thinking about getting the green one with the evertune now. The neck is absolutely gorgeous to the hand and when you strike a chord the whole guitar resonates. Beautiful acoustic tone which is always a good sign of quality. Extremely impressed. Just wished the other models had the locking tuners and stainless steel frets as well.

    I've been using this plugin for years now and - although I tried out some other VSTs - this was the only one to stay: It's tight like hell, sensationally sounding and effortlessly rips through every mix!
    .....and - like the demo vid says - "it moves air" and "the low end is beauuuuuutiful!" 👍

    I can’t agree with you more on this plugin. Wow!! The first few seconds into watching this I knew this plugin is a must get. I’m always looking for that perfect tone. And like you said, you don’t have to tweak the tone to your liking. You just start playing and everything sounds so damn good. I like that and I’m going to have to buy this now. I could even tell by your face you were in the “zone” when you were playing. Every tone was musically useful. Thanks for sharing.

    It is easy to see if producers fall in love with the plugins. Since it is a computer program, the result will be exactly the same in every studio there is. The only varying things will be the monitor speakers and the control room. Also the musician can finally set up the sound that is in the head and return to it easily.

    Hey Ola. I've been fan a fan of your channel for what seems like a long time. Years. Anyways, I always forget to leave a thumbs up or even comment, so I just want to take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate the content you release. Your sense of humor is on point. Also, you are a BAD-ASS-MOTHERF***ING GUITARIST and don't sell yourself short. And finally, I cannot wait for the day I can own one of your guitars, especially if you come out with more 7 string models and more so, get some 8 string+ action going on.

      These plugin manufacturers, I'm assuming have operating system apps, so you don't necessarily have to open up the Daw. The one thing I want to see is these plugins take advantage of Kiosk mode in windows enterprise edition (which should be allowed in other versions, do it Microsoft) so you could have the PC boot straight into the app if you want to. We need these Plugins to be more like a actual piece of gear if you want it to be.

    I just went from VST plugins for tube - preamp sim to using real tubes. I feel that simulating the living sound of tubes takes to much processing to get it all the way natural, tried every free tube sim vst out there. But I agree your plugin suite do sound nice no question. Perhaps the more expensive latest-technology plugins do the job good now.
    I settled on using real tube preamp and overdrive into the sound card and then into a impulse response plugin with my favorite impulse file, this is how I got my sound and feel, real tubes have their own feel.
