This was fun :) Little bit of Jaw drop on the EVH on first chug. That was naaaaaaasty! I was also like whoa on the Revv sound but figured the weirdness was the cab, only because I've heard so many other samples of it (waiting for mine to arrive).

I like how he threw a curve ball right off the start knowing ola would be confused by the similar Washburn. Making him doubt himself before it even began.

Evh with the Mesa sounds massive.

It's a really good idea. Our ears play tricks on us when switching from one rig to another just like when switching presets on a modeler. It takes time to your brain to process the changes and thus it's hard to recognize anything right on the spot.

Honestly nobody could lol amp snobs are lying if they say they can. Great example: I ran into a guy who claimed up and down that the parkway drive album “reverence” was recorded with a mixture of a Mesa Badlander and Marshall blended together with a Mesa over sized. This grandiose explanation because he just knew those tones because he’s played them both. Parkway drive recorded that album with Kemper profilers 😂😂😂😂

@@thatsameenergy Well I don't think they're lying as such, I just think they're over-confident with their hearing when they guess and get it right lol. That being said though I have made profiles and heard some subtle differences in the low end, mainly when palm muting. It fizzles out differently than a real amp does, no matter how good the profile comes out, there's always something there, but yes IF the profiles are made VERY well with little - no EQ tweaks done on the Kemper, then I highly doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference on a studio album, even if you were to reamp the same studio track with both, especially with all the other instruments going on. Was that guy saying he knew just by listening? 🤣

Revv throwing him off so bad just goes to show you how unique of a sound it has and how versatile it is.

I was pleasantly surprised to not see a Tube Screamer or some variant homogenizing every amp LOL! Put the Revv into one of those V30 cabs and I guarantee the sizzle returns LOL!

Welcome, Joel! I love these types of videos. People buy with their eyes/eat with their eyes. My favorite Andertons videos are the blindfold challenges, so it's awesome to see this type of video in a metal context with you Ola. For future episodes, I'd love to see a rule of no allowing to touch the guitar to help you guess what it is. Hands on the bridge for palm muting and neck only. And how about having all the amps on with an amp/cab switcher footswitch?

There's an irony in the fact that the thing that influences tone the greatest is the thing that's the hardest to guess in a signal chain.

@rayzeus

2 жыл бұрын

Speakers are the most important thing in the chain, not the cabs themselves. Cabs do matter, but the speaker is the biggest factor at play, and both cabs he guessed had V30s in them and the amp he wasn't able to guess right was paired with very different speakers.

It's interesting that the part that makes the most dramatic change to the sound (the cab) is the one part you really struggled with this time around (that and the REVV i guess). You were able to pick out your Satan immediately, but couldn't tell one V30ish cab from another V30ish cab. I will say, that those Jaguar speakers sound incredible with anything other than an RG100

Sick good Ola you makes us proud, this other guy is a treasure, I like these ideas ❤️👍🤘🎸

Well there goes all my curiosity for Revv. I was pretty sure I never wanted one but now I know for sure.

This was a GIANT WIN of a vid, Ola. Definitely more like these!!!

Awesome.. EVH tone undeniable!!!!

Damn I really like that EVH and MESA oversized combo

Exactly. The Jaguars in the Randall cabinet, which can be quite dark sounding, threw him off.

That EVH/mesa was wicked awesome

Ah! Thats an awesome series! keep that one going , its fun to watch !!

EVH with the Mesa was one of the best sounds I've heard, HOLY SHIT! I need that tone now

honestly the randal cabin that cuts off the high-highs somehow sounds the best. Most savage and evil metal sounding. And I actually think the cabin is easier to guess than the amp. The cabin makes a huge difference in the dynamic range of the amp. You just know your amps very well, but with someone else's amps, you would have easier times guessing the cabin.

I really enjoyed this series Ola. Keep em coming. Hard. Really Hard. I like the chemistry between you both too. Joel is unforgiving to you in a hilarious way. Just as a good friend should be, honest.

Joel och Ola, det är dags för en ny mystery rig!

Jävligt uppfriskande med nytt content som är intressant på ett annat sätt än SWOLA, som jag anser kan vara lite till och från ibland. Förstår att det kan ta lång tid att hitta på något nytt, men nu när du har lite olika koncept på kanalen så som Will it chug, SWOLA och nu Mystery rig känner jag redan att kanalen fått ett rejält lyft. Plus i kanten varje gång du involverar någon ny person i videorna 👍🏻

I'd love to see another video like this again!

i'm really impressed by the EVH sound

Great job Ola & welcome Joel! You guys were definitely having fun doing this challenge. Would love to see you do it again in the future. Thank you both!

That EVH is crazy tight!!!

This was cool. I really enjoyed watching this. The "credits" were cool too, guessing color and how you knew the difference.

Most high gain amps sound very similar to each other. The cab and speaker are the greatest influence on the sound.

Great that your associate is enjoying it, and throwing curve balls as well. Hope you add pedals and guess those too.

Loved this! This was fun. I might have guessed the EVH but thats about it.

That evh rig sounded dope

As the owner of a Revv Generator 120 Mk III, this video was concerning, LOL! I don’t know anything about that Randall cab but I play mine Revv through a Mesa OS 4x12 and it sounds awesome. Just goes to show how important a role that the cab plays in the overall equation.

Gotta incorporate some coffee with ola guests to guess the rig would be dope 👍

Evh through the Mesa sounds greàaaaaat!!!

That EVH sounded gnarly AF dude👌🏻

This is a great series, Ola! We need more of this!

The Skervesen through the EVH sounds killer as fuck!

Cool vid!! That 5150 was gnarley.

My God how brutal is that EVH EL34 100 watt head??? It made all the other amps sounds like a toy!

That evh amp sounds so badass

Really really good, relaxed, fun and entertaining. 👍🏼👏🏼👌🏼🤘🏼

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻 Can't wait to see a part 2! 🤘🏻🎸

"It doesn't sound like a real amp..." Ola Englund, Revv Amplifiers. oof lol

Love the EVH with the Mesa!

Have you ever thought about demoing some of the lower cost amplifiers that have all the same features: like the tri-rec, 1990 and 6262 by Bugera... or some of the less expensive peavey rigs like the old 80s/90s era 120watt tube twins or 80s/90s era half stacks from fender, crate, peavey, etc. The VTM120 was a real BEAST, as was the Classic 120 Twin with the built in phaser and spring reverb.

Okay I'm going to just cut loose here. This series is called sleep deprivation with Ola, this is what happens when you smoke quality weed, And last but not least show of hands how many here were thinking damn he can still play better than me blindfolded 🕺

Suggestion! Throw a hughes & kettner in that lineup he will never guess! Like a grandmeister deluxe.

I think that Randall cab was totally stifling the Revv gen, big demonstration how much the cab affects sound to the point ola didnt even believe it was a real amp.

REVV Be all: "WTF!@? Thanks, OLA!! Fuck..me......" hahaha. This was great.

First combination was my favourite 🤘🏻

I liked this one Anderton's video where they couldn't touch any controls or headstocks or whatever on a guitar. They just had to play it blindfolded with one hand on the neck, one hand strumming. Also, of course it's easier to know your own amps than random amps, but it's still not easy at all. Mix some modern metal amps with, say vintage Mark 2C+ and Rectifier kind of gear and stuff like that dialed in correct way with added noise gate for everything and everyone is on a guess trip.

Well...cross Revv off my list of dream amps. lol. The EVH sounds so bad ass.

The Gorilla practice amp needs to be included in the next Mystery Amp Challenge.

MOOOOOOOORE !!! THIS IS EPIC !!!

This was a lot of fun! I hope you do some more of these type of videos, the possibilities are endless.

We need more of this!

5150 is the truth. U could pick it up in a 100 amp lineup

It's official baby! Tha Revv is not a real amp!! It's just a modeller with valves!!😂

The EVH sounded fucking amazing...just ripping snarl.

Very cool challenge! It actually says a lot about our perception ("listening with our eyes") of sound with regards to our gear. Love it! Ola, you know your shit, and kudos for putting your 'mistakes' out there.

More of this! So much fun watching

The rev through the jaguars reminded me of the old LINE6 big bottom I can see why he thought it was digital

That EVH sounded disgusting, Jesus. So much gain, I would love to play one of those some day.

This was so much fun! And man, you were great at guessing those! This is a great platform for a video, too. It's interesting, intriguing, and if you get it right, there's a wow factor, and if you get it wrong, it's funny in a good way! Plus it makes some of us go back and watch some old videos to see what gear you have, to suggest for next time.

This is one of the best videos Ola has ever done, this would be pretty rad as a recurring series!

That was pretty fun to watch. I think you have a good thing going there. Plus Joel seems like he knows his stuff and he knows how to mess with you.

Impressive. The Force is strong with you...

love that evh amp through the mesa wonder what itd be like in the engl cab

Ola should come to Andertons to play their blindfold challenge as well. Would be sick educational yet entertaining content .. keep up the good work MR ENGLUND

That was a lot of fun, plus it gives us a chance to hear some of his more infrequently played amps. I'd love for this to become a series.

Good idea for a series. Keep the blindfold ideas coming 🤘
