Hey Ola, 1st of all THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH for using the JVM410H to do the test/review as its "supposedly" Daves choice of Marshall amps these days and also uts the amp i have 😃 Now i think the "Megadeth" tone you had in this clip is absolutely BALL TEARING and i was wondering if you could please share what channel and settings you used so i can try them on my JVM to try achieve a similar Megadeth tone when im jammong their tunes, pleeeeease 🙏? Thanks in advance, legend.

what? It's really not even that close to the original tone at all, at least not on the album version. His version sounds way better than the original album tone. The original is very heavy on the attack with not much bass or harmonic content. Ola's is much more saturated, a lot more gain, and just overall sounds more interesting.

That's definitely one of the Gibson's I could consider buying, however Kramer's take on that might be closer to reality because of price and esp. availability. And honestly I think Kramer's V-shape reminds me more about Dave than that Gibson, but that might be just me.

That Marshall JVM sounds amazing.

i gotta give it to Dave with this one, I've never even thought about owning a gibson, but this guitar has the power to sway me. Most hilariously... Dave Mustain is bringing Gibson into the "new era"

Definitely got Dave’s live tone down, I got a Dean Peace Sells sig model at the house and it’s really awesome, Dave always has a knack for putting out great signature models.

Gotta tell ya man, your sets are always so fucking good. The giant curved wall of stacks is next level from what the rest of the guys on KZread are doing.

LOVE my Gibson!! Best decision I ever made.....prices can be steep, but they hold every inch of it.....always have, always will, that is the reality.

You made the intro look so effortless, not just to the songs like the whole intro bit. love the content, KEEP IT UP

I waited 6 months and finally got the silver one. It's a really great guitar. I love the 25.5 inch scale and 24 frets. The quality is really good, especially the nut and fretwork. No issues, plays really well!

Sick guitar. One of the best I've heard you test.

Absolutely love the sound of this setup.

Been a Megadeth fan for years and is the main reason why I love metal and have found other great music like your own. Really enjoyed this review.

Wow absolutely beautiful! Beautifully demonstrated as well!!!

I'm actually very impressed with these. I expected nothing different from the usual rehash Gibson puts out but Dave actually got them to do something different. Really cool.

Probably the best guitar tone you got so far! ❤️

been waiting for this video, thanks, beautiful V, love the simplicity and that headstock

I think you just sold out the *next* run of the Dave Mustain sig V with your playing and tone. Sounds incredible, man!

Dude, Awesome video! Dave Mustang‘s always been one of my favorite and seeing one of my newest favorite guitarist playing Megadeth it’s pretty bad ass🤘

That’s some pretty stellar jävla shredding there Ola!🔥 A joy to the ears!

The Holy Wars cover sounds great! Like, if it had come out in this time, that's what I imagine it would sound like. Great mix.

Amazing tone, man! I'm so happy to see this channel and where it is going to. Keep chugging, man!

Man. That Marshall JVM fit for Megadeth riffages😍

That JVM with those pickups is killer!

You didn’t get lucky, Gibson has been working so so so hard to improve their QC and I think it’s gonna show with these 2021 builds getting in people’s hands.

I'm only 30 seconds in and all i want is a full Ola cover of Holy Wars! Holy shit Ola!!! U crushed that...more please.

So these models were first coming out to the general public around the time that I purchased my SG. If I had decided to be a bit more patient I probably would’ve gotten the green version of this guitar, but I enjoy my SG right now, and I definitely plan to buy one of these V’s in a few years once I am more financially stable

The tone is awesome in this one! Nice setup. And what a gorgeous guitar! Gibson should do more guitars like this.

The tone is killer man; i was kind of anxious about him leaving dean at first but the guitar turned out alot better than i expected

great panning on the intro, never listened to you playing on headphones before

Awesome playing Ola!

awesome sound, cool guitar and amazing playing man! I just got 2 Gibson USA's in the last year my first as well. Dave Mustaine for sure should do a Coffee w/ Ola!!!! Tell Kiko to get him.

Man I've seen a few reviews so far, this guitar does not only sound the best with Ola, but the color is great, of course that's the camera, lighting and maybe some color grading. I'm more of the Hetfield fan and even with Het's silhouette everywhere and name on the pickup, I would never buy it because it's Gibson, but it does seem like a fine fast downpicking instrument. Great review!

Hopefully Gibson has improved their quality control issues under their new management. They still need improvements in the area of marketing and making guitars that are accessible to young people like Fender has done so well in recent years. KZreadr Rhett Shull did a good video recently on the subject. Interestingly, quality control issues have long been a subject with Fender and Gibson. During the 1970s, people were scrambling to buy 1960s Les Pauls and Stratocasters because they were better than what was being made in the 70s. Nowadays, a Gibson or Fender from the 1970s will cost you a pretty penny. Anyways, sorry for the ramble. Cool guitar and the JVM tones are sick \m/.

Few people treat playing someone else’s music as well as Ola does. From getting the tone right, to playing the actual notes, to playing them well. I feel you respect the songs.
