I guess im early!

Have you tried out Mainstage?

I have considered using this for a club rig. My current rig is already pretty small (1x12 combo amp and a pedalboard basically). But only having to carry in a backpack and a guitar would be seriously cool. Not sure about the automation part as that would require having the drummer play to a click. But the idea is solid. It would also address amp volume onstage fairly well. Might require in-ears to be totally efficient.

Are Solar guitars coming with sustainiacs?

You fell off we listen to Ricegum now.

Is there latency cause of the USB input?

@@IVsakeN Not in my setup. All my live instruments are run through stand alone gear straight to the mix that goes to house. So none of my live performance has to take a lap through the DAW before hitting the mix which means zero latency. The CC messages coming from DAW to the standalone gear for patch switching is instant. Now if I were using plugins for my live sounds there could be slight latency.

@@havocharmony9661 did you follow any tutorial to how to programm the light show using a midi signal? I've seen a lot a people doing it through a midi track into Cubase or Logic Pro X, but I still can't figure out how to do it...

@@mipiaceiltubo DMXIS made by ENTEC will convert DMX to MIDI. This allows you to use automation lanes within your DAW to control the lighting. Or in my case, program it to the timeline and design a perfectly synced light show.

@@IVsakeN None at all. All my live gear outs are to direct lines, not run through DAW. The DAW only plays back 2 tracks on 2 separate buses, One goes to house/audience, the other includes click and vocal ques and goes direct to my in ear monitoring. So the actual processing load on the DAW is very low. 2 audio tracks with no processing, and a cpl hundred automation lanes for light program.

Me too!

Strangely me too before seeing this.

Sameeeeee

@@creamwobbly ? I typed that at the start of the video

I had been thinking about it too and when he got to the pitch shifter taking the E down to Drop A, he sold me on this setup.

Are you asking about how plugins and stuff work? I literally like last week got to finally fiddle with plugins. Basically you completely take the amp out of the equation as you don't need it at all period. You plug your guitar into your digital interface box and run a USB cord to your computer. You then download an amp simulation software such as amplitube 5 the one I experimented with. You go through and make your tone presets you want to use for later. Now minimize that window for now as you don't need it up on the screen just running in the background. Fire up your software and configure your audio paths. I'm going to use audacity as an example as it's free to download. Go to the top and click edit, preferences. A new window pops up, plugins manager select your plugin program amplitube 5. A window pops up next to the track that says edit plugin this is when you know your connected. Hope this helps if not feel free to ask.

@@justinbowen1183 pls what is the name of the app he is using?? I couldn’t find it

@@user-zq9su8jv2k haha, fortunately didn't happen for us 🤣

@@user-zq9su8jv2k best comment on you tube today so far . Awesome

daws have been doing this since about 1992

Chicken leads 🤣🤣🤣

Chicken leads is pretty accurate, I didn’t even know that they used wah pedals. What meshuggah songs have a wah?

@@mason3872 fredrik was stepping on it all night. Maybe he used it to keep time? Idk

Slash does something like that but he has a guy backstage flipping pedals for him... true

My first thought

@@eyalleviton2617 Mine too

Please tell me you'll be releasing Solar guitars with the Sustainiac.

If I had a guitar with a sustainiac my neighbors would probably literally get pitchforks and kill me

also a MIJ Solar series would be pretty great, especially for bolt on models

Check out his albums man! They're on every streaming platform. All his solo stuff is instrumental and it's beautiful. These songs are on his new album Starzinger

@@ericbloom6937 Well, consider those albums bought. I've been a fan of his stuff in The Haunted and Six Feet Under but hadn't picked up the solo material.......but will now.

He sounds amazing!!! JP influences for sure! I just wish I knew how to program like he does.

@@harolddeschenes4640 I just wish I was his bass player. 😉

yes, that would be great!

It’s as simple as automating the bypass on plugins.

Planning on buying an SSL 2 and just using that with my Revv G3.

Great, except... for €260 you can buy: - Boss Katana 50 - Orange Crush 35 - Fender Champion 50 XL They might not be 5150s, but they ain't little beginner amps either, you could gig with any of those. Not trying to bash your way, just pointing that out.

I do it for about 7 minutes then stop (just long enough to get them to call the cops), when I really want to irritate the neighbors because they're being particularly douchey...my answer when the police show up for noise complaint is "I'm not doing it now and less than 15 minutes of intermittent noise violation is allowed as long as it is not continuous measured sound pressure, so can you please show me your currently valid calibration sticker on your sound meter?" They struggle for something to say and then just leave. Because I have a calibrated sound meter, with a valid cal tag. Even if they had one (they NEVER bring it the first time out), I'd have checked for a calibration sticker and they RARELY have it on their unit, much less current so I can immediately invalidate their argument when they thought they were being REALLY SMART. Also know that I have not one but two of the Sunn 1200S amps that can put 1200W into a 2 ohm monoblock, and they're the rebadged Fender ones that have the improved thermal solution so if I felt like it I could run them long and hard as well as loud af. The only amp rumored to have slagged more voice coils is the Peavey Firebird 700, and trust that I've been looking ha ha ha

Bronco XY would you recommend SSL2 ..? I'm also thinking of trying it. I remember Ola not liking it very much for some reason which he was correct. But want to know your thoughts too.

@@rachitbhengra4298 Well tbh I'm no expert in this field but for me at least, it does what its supposed to do. Thinking back to his review, I think his main critical points where things, that his more expansive gear did better, mostly due to a higher quality. I havent had any problems with it so far, using it to feed my guitar into Neural DSP or Ableton with Neural DSP... There might be better options out there, idk, but for me it does the thing. You have to remember however, that this is a very simple piece of gear, mostly due to the price tag. It has two inputs and some little controls, thats it. On the other handside, you can easily pay ten times the price for an interface... I would recommend it, coming from my point of view, but dont take my word that serious. I'm not really experienced in this field. For me, it does the job, and therefore, I like it. If you decide to give it a try, and you like it too, thats great. Maybe, if theres an option for you and you have some things you'd like to have in an interface, get a few in this price range to test and keep your favorite. I heard good things about Focusrite stuff aswell... I'm sorry I couldnt really help, but whatever you decide in the end, I hope you'll find the right thing for you! ^^

It's also gr8 for us gramps out there with back problems. Wall of sound with out the hernia. 1 Less roadie, right

I agree with you 100% but I personally would always have some sort of competent backup cuz computers can get really squirrely..

Holy shit it took me like a good minute to realise that you weren’t Rudy Ayoub!

yeah... I stopped bothering with automations... several parameters for several effects on 8+ tracks... not the most fun in the world :)

@@RSProduxx if you're a noob ya

@@mattvdh ya, as if it turned into a fun thing when you get used to it... controller with billions of knobs and sliders may help alot though :)

@@RSProduxx I love automating stuff actually. But i'm also more of a producer so yea... I once had like 25 automation channels on one track 😂😂😂 Part of making glitchy psychedelic music I guess.

@@leo.nordmann any suggestions on tutorials on how to automate plugin changes I can't find any videos etc?

Same here. Started with a V-AMP (Behringer clone of the Line6 POD) and moved on to using my computer with plugins. Still doing the same thing 15 years later. Very cheap and very flexible.

@@exscape I use a focus rite scarlet 4i4 on a MacBook Pro using Logic Pro X. Been going this route for YEARS myself. Glad to hear you’re still pushing man. We can do it on our own!

Or a midi controller

My Scarlett does great DI as well, even on usb. I run schecter, but that’s just because they’re damn good guitars for the price and the neck fits my hand comfortably. I’ll get a solar eventually 😈

@@joshrepik I just can’t bring myself to buy a guitar without giving it a try first. Love Ola’s videos, and I know the guitars are probably good quality, but until I lay my hands on one, I can’t even seriously consider it.

@@mikewifak hey I totally get that!! It really is about the connection you make with the instrument and it’s fit for you, I’m just saying that these guitars are super nice and everyone that plays one seems to love them. I’ve played so many different brands, from Gibson to LTD, bc rich, fender, cheap stuff, dean, etc. in my experience the feel of a guitar is super important, which is why I go with schecter, but I love having other stuff around. I’m sure the solar lives up to the hype, and I like supporting people I respect, so I’d buy a solar even if I hated it just to get ola a few buckaroos lol

Also, bring back the affordable A2.6 version that you used to do in the very same colour. That's one awesome colour!!!

What is your laptop?

@@EchoVerse243 I have an older Asus G752VM, don't really use it for gaming as I have a desktop for that. Lol

Damn I have GR5, wonder if I can upgrade to 6 for cheap

@@joshrepik you can have it for free by downloading some Native Instruments Komplete Start Bundle. It's a very laborious process but it does offer Guitar Rig 6. I've played it for like 2 hours then never used that bundle again . There so much browsing through shit until you find something cool sounding , might as well just use my amp and my phone plugged in the Aux for some backing tracks.

@@necurrence1776 I kick myself every day for selling my 5150, but it went to a good friend

@@necurrence1776 If you're looking for guitar presets, it's not for you. Their presets are fair, but the true potential is for modelers, people who enjoy building their own patches and tweaking them to chase down the tone they want.

@@bitronicc1887 you're right, presets not for me. I also use Amplitube 3 or 4 can't remember but it's old, and then Ignite Emisarry. My personal vst are in this order Ignite>Amplitube >Guitar Rig 5>Guitar Rig 6 being the worst for me.

It's the stock logic pitch shifter

Yeah! Me too! Sounded pretty good to me as well, I suppose in this context its fine cos hes not bending etc
