I thought I was the only one !!!! I believe Walrus Audio have a compressor pedal with a huge octopus on it (on some versions). It was later replaced by a diver but you can still find the giant oc around. Beautiful stuff

@@leah77 Yeah man, I feel ya. I appreciate a "blank slate" look and less definitly is more when it comes to instruments in my opinion. However there is a huge lack of artistry on instruments. The flower decals on the soundbox Ola uses in the vid are also beautiful.

That unit sounds super smooth. Almost like it needs some presence it something. It is very pleasing tone and easy on the ears, not shrill in the least. I like it.

Great review as always! I am delighted by the cab sims. And thank you for 'the test for science'! 😅😂
I love the design on the side it looks sick
Just keeps getting better !
Wow that's a badass little box 📦 👏🤘Thanks for testing shit and sharing your knowledge! Metal!!!🤘
I love victory preamp pedals... I personally use the sherriff and it turns my 2 channel mesa boogie fillmore 50 into a 4 channel with 4 different tones and gain... I always get asked about my tone & that pedal at gigs... definitely would recommend having one

@@toerti9589 I personally cant stand the sound lol. And it's not just the Kraken. I've tried for years to get into Victory stuff, but there's just something about the sound especially with lots of gain that I can't like. It almost has like a hollow, airy fizziness, something about the low mids maybe? I actually thought it sounded pretty good when Ola played clean though.

Really surprised by how amazing the clean sounds are on this amp!!! And of course the distortion is amazing.... Probably last time victory will ever send Ola and amp to review!! :))
Yaaay, Har hoppats på en video från dig där den här pedalen visas sen den typ annonserades av Victory :) Bara 3 minuter in kan redan säga, grymt som vanligt Ola! 👌🏻
A friend of mine is using a presence and depth pedal to make the bass shine better with this amp..sounds great with it.
I keep looking at the guitar... It's just sooo beautiful.
Wow! Cool device, good sound, thanks!
good to see you're finally doing drop tests of amps as well to prove their strength! MORE OF THAT, drop a rectifier next!
Watching Ola trying to get every device to sound like Pantera’s tone. “Hmmm that’s not quite right yet”

I like the part where he chugs E5 and then hits some open strings. Then chugs E5 again etc.
First,I'm a drummer,but love guitar,Ola is freaking awsome,talent,tone,just badass. For this amp,it's crunchy but,for me needs more low end to get the chug effect that ola usually gets.
What's up Ola I've been playing the shi* out of Starzinger it'sreally is good 👍 I just wanted to tell you man you bring Joy to peoples life, in a world 🌎 that's gone mad it's nice to just chill after a long day and click on one of your videos have a laugh or two.
Love the RHCP reference on the guitar!! Classic!
The Hesu cab is a beast 🇵🇱
10:02 not in a million years i would’ve expected Ola playing a little bit of sweet red hot chili peppers on a Kraken demo😂
Great video ola🤘🏻
Ohhhh .. this was an amp video? I couldn't stop looking at that beautiful Gold Solar guitar ..
I love how patient Ola is , if I had half the stuff happen to me that happens to him I'd be a cussing mess 😂 love me some Ola ❤
Great video, suggestion for next gear review would be the fender bass breaker amps, I think you’ll be surprised how good it chugs
Looks like Taurus's Stomphead design is getting to more and more amp producers. :) Great trend.
Epic ending with suspens solid 6/10 thriller video !!!
Looks and sounds awesome! Would love to use with my Mesa 1x12 cab for light rig.
Great vid as usual!
Cant say I’m too impressed with this amp, but Ola is fun to watch and always gets a good sound.
Good stuff! Love the Boom!!!
It sounds awesome. Thanks for review man was really funny video :D
Nice Sound, That thing is Wicked!😉
This and the KSR power lunchbox amp with Ceres are two best small format pedal sized amps now.
I have a Great time 😝 and i think i need the Kraken. Thanks Ola
I think it s great ,, defently near the cab you can feel better the tone .. but looks awesome and very tempting
Damn ... That thing sounds good without anything else

I use the preamp Kraken V4 with an Orange Pedalbaby for recording ... and wondering some times that there is no boost switched on ;)
Just an idea, if you want an overdrive with bass try the Nobles ODR-1. There is so much bass they have a bass cut switch inside the battery compartment.
Man what a cool unit
The Kraken sounds great, but can we talk about this GORGEOUS guitar???

I believe that was 8 chugs to the drop. Nice! ❤ 👑.
we can see how much ola in love with fuckin chuggin distortion by turning down the reverb level like that and by speeding up the clean sound section
That third amp SIM is very close to the miked tone... Nice one..m
This background music from Feared is a freaking beast

these are pretty damn awesome....
Pedals falling off nice!!!!!! Love your channel!!!!!
Hearing some Vai in your soloing.. 🤘🏼 Maby try turning down the volume knob on the ts9 to get more bass??
thought u were going to play anthrax madhouse for a second there. awesome as always.
Sounds chunky. PS: thanks for showing us how that thing can stand up for a tour bashing. Also, try taking the line out into the effects return of a full tube amp.
10:00 did not expect you to play RHCP there lol
Not sure if it's the settings or that particular setup but it doesn't sound as nice as I expected it to. I have the foot pedal/pre-amp version of it and it sounds great going into the front of most amps I've tried with it so far. The EQs are quite sensative though so you have to be quite precise.

Do you use it with the 4 cable method? I just use the preamp like a preamp.
Let's be honest, the real hero that makes anything chug is that Solar guitar.
5:18 Sound Editing Academy Award right here
when I try to order another beer after chugging 10 glasses 0:41
Not sure whether the preamp version is just different, but I run bass at around 9 o'clock and gain at around 10-11 o'clock and it sounds good to me :D I'm boosting with a Joyo Tauren though, so maybe that is giving me all that bass and gain.
Watching you looking for the whammy bar made me wonder: what an evertune whammy bar would do? Would it resist Kerry King's soli?
the end of the video is the best part
Ola allowing a £300 delay/reverb pedal, £700 tube pre-amp and priceless vintage TS9 to fall from his 2X12 "for science" made my wallet bleed........

Hey Ola do you know ant pro pain riffs I use to love trying amplifier with pro pain songs
$1,000 piece of gear drops. On purpose. Ola doing the lord's work for us mortals.

New Idea for an objective measure of 'Will it Chug' : = how long before the pedals fall off the cab? ... and yeah, as a former Quality Engineer, I am a big favor of blasting shit until it breaks.

I guess just to confirm, can you simultaneously use the amp in a cab AND run the simulated cab at the same time? say i wanted on stage mic'd up cab but also run the cab out to my in ears, would this work?
We need a video series called "Making science with Ola" lmao
Watching on phone. Background music sounds like tube's hum :)
"I guess we have to do the clean stuff too" Me when I watch demo videos 🤣 And the end was scientific just a durability test
10:00 "My Friends" by the RHCP.
I love these videos, need to get decent headphones with decent response so im not using shitty phone speakers to hear gear lol.
Hmm, think I like the stand-alone preamp version of this better, that high end you mention seems a bit more controlled.
Ha ha ha! This was great! Have you tried the Mooer Micro Preamps? They are super cheap and pretty cool, also with cab simulation.
