Remember to subscribe for more random shit. Because the more attention I get, the more weird it gets...
Ola Englund ola you have to make a band named baba that makes death metal versions of Abba songs now fs and a band named Cunt-ry Guy that does death metal versions of Willie Nelson songs ffs.
Loving the quality content you are putting out Ola I wish everyone was as funny as you when they are reviewing gear and doing other stuff
Just like PewDiePie
Ola Englund mmmmmm....
Josef Michal exactly what i'm gonna say
Hey Ola, I was shot and paralyzed 10 years ago and I miss playing music more than anything. Watching you always puts me in a great mood and I get to hear quality music from a quality guy. You are hilarious, too. Don’t change. Cheers from Georgia, USA.
JH Statts sorry to hear man. I hurt my arm/shoulder from years of lifting stuff at work and I cant play more then 5mins without feeling extreme pain. I too find a lot of comfort in watching his videos. His positive vibe makes me think like fuk it, life is life and theres no point in beating myself up over it. All the best to you. Stay up
VEGAN POWER | thanks, man, I appreciate that very much. Yeah, it sucks not being able to do something you used to love to do. Just glad that I can still enjoy what others do with music. Best to you as well. Thanks again!
@@veganpower7825 maybe if u ate some meat u would have been able to lift that stuff at work just fine without hurting urself. Them veggies soften u up! .. I'm just playing sad to hear u guys can't play :(
@@jhstatts888 but how did u type comments then? U paralyzed from neck down can't move arms? Man that sucks. I feel bad, I wish bad things didn't happen to people
Super Mecha Death Christ | well, when I say chest down, I mean mostly legs and core muscles in the abdomen. I can move my arms enough to do certain things, including typing. But sometimes I just use my phone‘s microphone to record my voice in the comment windows. Thanks for asking.
The fact that you can play along to something coming out of the same amp with no cables is amazing
I seriously hoped you would jam out to ABBA..
Looks like he didn't want to take that chance.
haha nice one
I'd have played tritone chugs to the rhythm of the "take-a-chance"'s. So brutal.
Hahahahahaha
Sounds like ther'd be chugs galore!
I was excited until I saw it cost only $50 less than my full blown usa 6505+ did used at guitar center lol. Cool amp though for the portability. It's like the Nintendo switch of guitar amps.
Cheah!!!!
i own the 6505+ as well, it's awesome, but it definitely needs a boost, and i'm using a distortion pedal for that purpose, which is not the best idea, but it's what i got
Oh definitely, I use it with a Maxon and it's golden tone.
wish i had a maxon
Where did you get a 6505+ for $350 at?
I was never a confident guitar player, I never liked it when someone would listen to me or even watch me play. In the back of my head, they think I suck as a guitar player, I should just stop. But I got the mini amp and have been practicing on it. It got me more confident and more time to practice. Plus my dad freaked out that you played ABBA to test the speakers out. Love It Ola and all of your videos help me out a big time. Thank you 3000
Bruh, I bet you are good now! Keep practicing and don't give a dime about what other people would think of your playing. To each his own! Take care my friend and keep rocking!
you have me sold, definitely getting one of these in the near future. its smaller than i thought but thats what makes me like it even more. I've been wanting to downsize my rig to have a more convenient space to practice and jam with and I feel like this amp would hit it right on the head.
that is great man, I'm choosing this over the mini. BTW great solo Ola!!
I went out and bought the Katana Air because of this video... Absolutely love it. The wireless pack is insanely convenient. It sounds great, the app is amazing... so many effects to choose from. It took me a little while to figure out how to save my own patches, but I had it on lock the first day without using a manual or youtube.... so it is simple enough for an idiot.
I really like some of the stock patches... there is one I use for an 80's RR/Hair metal sound, the octave metal sound is great too.
The patches themselves are totally customizable, and not just the obvious things like amps and effects. Boss allows you to choose your preferred signal chain and cabinet mix, to make sure your sound is exactly what you want.
My only issues are as follows:
1. There is no way to connect an external speaker, with 30 watts, the Katana Air could easily push a 1 x 12 or 2 x 12.
2. There is no way to simultaneously use the headphone to record out, while letting the speaker on the amp play out as a monitor... it could be useful for simple recording setups.
3. It uses double batteries instead of a rechargeable internal pack. I suppose this was talked about in the video, so it is my fault for not noticing... however, this isn't a deal breaker in any way.. it still sounds great unplugged and rechargeable batteries are cheap.
Thank you Ola for a great recommendation.
I have the 100 watt mk2 and the mini and I've owned a 50 watt mk1 and every single one is amazing honestly. I've developed over 40 or so tones and effects on mine with the app, its really fun to do if you're a tone nerd like I am! Highly recommend anything by them and may just have to get the one too!
Love it bro and always laugh at the way you deliver your vids. Keep kickin it hard brother. And you clean playing blew my mind, keep rockin that shit tuff !
Can't wait to try this. It sounds incredibly useful for practice sessions.
Ola showing off how powerful the Bluetooth function is by playing ABBA gives me life.
I can hear the Petrucci influence in that improv over the backing track. Good stuff!
Love your videos!! You are awesome! Keep doing your thing, Ola!
Really cool! you covered important things for us dad/busy/lazy/no time to setup guitarists. Straight to the point, great vid man.👍🏽👍🏽🍻
*plays five seconds of the best chicken picking I've ever heard*
"Yeah, I'm not a country guy"
Isaac Spradling go check out John 5

Everyone is there own worst critic I guess.
The Hellecasters - Highlander Boogie if you want the whole song
2:00 "Think it djents, think it, think it djents, djents, think it djents, think it djents, think it, think it djents, djents, think it djents, think it djents, think it, think it djents, djents, think it djents, think it djents..." :D
Its jackie chan dude!
I love you so fucking much.
Djents? What's Djents?
Someone's got gents...whoops i mean djents on their mind
Bam-bukah.
I wasn't expecting it to sound that good. Very impressed
A lot of these channels out there. I subscribed to you cuz you keep it real. I like the product reviews and your take on metal tones. Thanks for the info bro and keep up the keepin it real.
WTF. This thing sounds way more brutal than it has any right to.
I have an Engl Invader, and I love the Katana air. It's rad for recording.
only on Ola`s channel everyone else gets normal 80`s rock lead gain.
IT SOUNDS INSANELY GOOD
Katana lineup is great, a lot of options, great sound and reasonable price. Great upload, was a pleasure to watch. Regards.
Ola you really deserve your own TV show not a CZcams channel. If we scrap rage you could take its air time. What a deal for us that would be. 10 minutes of your channel smashes a whole night of rage
4:06 "Oh my god in the face"
Nice piece of tech, a little pricey maybe but very cool.
Triple M It’s only $400 though
That's the US price though, here it's currently closer to 430€ which is about $515. Still, a nice piece of gear.
Triple M It’s $539 for us Canadians here.
@@zsaz4453 except healthcare.
Here in Brazil, its R$4000, wich is around $1000!
So super happy I found this channel! SUBSCRIBED
When I need a chuckle, I get a shot of Ola,good to go for awhile!Thanks brother!
I gave this a like before the video got past the talking hands.. I'm loving where you're taking your channel lately man :)
You seem easy to please
NO U.
Not even upto pre orders here in Australia 😓
The ease of jamming, the use as an interface for quick recordings, the access to the changeable effects... I’m pretty certain I’ll be getting one
you can preorder it at bettermusic.com.au
Fantastic review man! I might actually buy me one of these.
Nice Backingtrack n awesome playing mr. Ola
My legit first reaction to hearing the sound of that was “WHAT THE HELL” 😯😯 Sounds dope!
That's cool. Sounds much bigger than it actually is and the wireless feature is neat. Although I don't know if that's really that useful in a practice amp, since you're gonna sit right next to it anyway. But yeah, I guess it's nice not to get entangled, I like to use wireless mice on my PC even though I sit right next to that too...
Wow I've never heard you play like that before. That sounded great! Kick Ass Man
I got the 50. Love it! Didnt know they released this! I move around a lot at the moment. Gotta snap this!
It's a great piece of kit, I have the mini.. But is it really worth the price of TWO! katana 50's!!..
Ola has been off his nuts in the last few videos lol.
william smith it's great!
Its what we here in sweden call "spela allan"
And that is very entertaining! Love those videos!
You do some great reviews ola, and funny as hell.. keep up the awesome work friend..
Ola, because of your review I picked up a Katana Air today. Thank you for these reviews!!!
Dude, you have to turn an ABBA song into metal!! I wanted you to play to an ABBA backing track.
nice, could u do a comparaison between the THR10X and this ?
Thanks Ola, i bought it and it's really my new best friend .....my first actually but mom saw me smiling
You’ve convinced me to buy one, thanks Ola 👍🏻
Great lead playing br0la
Abba(th) would be proud
This is a precious video....yiu are so artistic in your playing and personality ....cheers
man...even around the 4:30 mark it sounds killer....clean with some Delay and Reverb....great review Ola......mine is coming this week!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you still like the thr10x or you recommend this one?
1:11 is that a HP42 reference *big think*
I love my mini. I work 2nd shift and have 2 small kids. So for me when it's 11 or 12 at night I can hook up my headphones and have a great sound. I really liked the demo! I think the air is a nice step if you have the extra money
What a coincidence. I saw one for the first time yesterday in guitar center. Never heard or heard of it before .Another great demo !!!
You playing on that backing track sounds like Miami Vice soundtrack.
I need this thing in my life.
that sick ola.. love it
I watched a lot of videos for the Katana Air, this video made me want it.
Do one of new ESP LTD Black Metal guitars review
I just bought one of these
"I threw up a microphone there" That must've hurt...
I bought it. Really digging it.
Thank you for that test Ola !
Man, please do a tutorial how to get a killer tone with boss katana, lead and rhythm. I have the same gear and i cant get a tone like this. Teach us!
Rafael Torres I second this
BJPM Productions did a video on that a few months ago
It's easy. Use a cabinet, use overdrive pedals , don't use too much gain. Use mids and go easy on the bass and treble. You'll get there :). The (lead channel)5150 on the katana is great for rhythm. At the end of the day the best way to get good tone is your ears and using the boss Katana software that can only be accessed through your computer.
Getting a killer tone isn't hard. Just screw around on it until you get the kind of sound you like best. I dunno why people are always so insistent on having other people tell them how to use an amp when it's simple.
Got the katana head myself.
It sounds kind of harsh and shallow by itself, but send the signal to a cab (using the speaker of a Marshall VS100) really improves the overall vibe of the sound.
Still though, it's quite some tinkering combining the knobs and the sound of your guitar.
Love the intro haha.
"Hand Puppets w/ Ola" should be the literal term.
Timothy McKane Yess. It needs to become official haha.
I'd watch a whole hand puppet feared video...might be impractical,..but I'd totally watch it...haha...imagine it,...his head in the blue screen, with a hand puppet for his head playing guitar....fist banging? head banging?...not sure what it would be
Evan Davidson haha :')
Sounds awesome Ola....bassy like a Rockerverb
Watched this video, bought one. Turning up tomorrow!
"Lets switch over to brown"
Me: clinches and makes sure passage to bathroom is clear just in case.
That jam at 7:00 is cool. That's baby making music right there!!
Brian Schnotz Baby making music xD
Hey. Do you know what’s the name of the backing track?
Subscribed because that intro was splendid.
damn Ola! you slayed that backing track
Does boss katana sound good in clean like for jazz and blues?
I just received an answer from the Roland/Boss customer service stating that the Katana Air neither has an input for a conventional FOOTSWITCH nor does it support the use of a bluetooth FOOTSWITCH like the iRig Blueboard. So, unfortunately, the Katana Air might be the "first wireless Amp" but currently without channel switching by foot ...
TheMojoMan bummet.
Just get a multi effect pedal. Connect the wireless adapter to the pedal board
Thanks, Ola for the video!
damn the tones are so versatile from crunchy metal tone to something close to a single coil noice stuff
"I'm not a country guy," says Ola, as he plays country better than I play anything :D
Ola what about the Solar V1.6 with a fixed bridge? when is that coming? :(
Alexy Khoury yes fixed bridge with Fishman moderns!!
Eric Thompson yeeessss!!!!
Let's get crazy, tone pros string through neck through with Fishman moderns in a mahogany or swamp ash body, that would be a killer super strat for us rhythm players.🤔🤔 And stainless frets.
Eric Thompson Nah mahogany is way better than alder imo
@@ericthompson2323 thats a Schecter KM6 II
Great video, amusing, entertaining and informative. Loved it
loved that hellecaster tribute bit !!
Not a bad sounding amp......They have come a long way with these micro practice amps.....
Its also like 400 dollars. So it better sound good.
agreed!
Really enjoyed the video, even if youtube thought was funny to put a tampon commercial before the start.
Lorenzo Ercoli FYI... Those ads are generated towards your personality veiwed or related to personally veiwed content....
ForTheLoveOfChrist 😂
ForTheLoveOfChrist Really? Well that explains why I get so many ads for torture devices
Olas editing makes me laugh really hard, in a good way 😆
For a small amp it sounds amazing even with it being wirelessly transmitted
When the hell did Ola start playing for Opeth? Ola we need answers
...vs YAMAHA THR10?
Hey Ola glad you did a review on this, always love your reviews. Do you know if there's foot switch support?
I have a thr10x and love it. Might try one out.
We need a “does it DIME” series🤘🏽🤔🤘🏽
Omg yes!
"that's what HE said.." lol
What a great review! Very entertaining also.
Love your shirt!
That's cool and all but €449? Hell no.
rcmaster207 hahahahahahaha it’s tooooooooo expensive with that amount of money I can buy a new guitar or a pedal
@Chip96vv uhm. Isn't it the opposite?
@Chip96vv 499€ is equivalent to 558$. Thats an absurd price...
right?
Nuckin' Futz.
For someone who only played at home I think this thing is perfect I bought the mini but it does have alot of limitations being a primary portable amp where this is more of a bedroom guitar amp that can go
HE ISN'T A COUNTRY GUY, WELL WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT
Thanks Ola The Best Boss Katana Air Review...
sounds great. defin got me interested in a good alternative for wireless
Sounds sick but it’s toooooo expensive!
Ioannis Tziallas $400 is pretty damn cheap
Strange Brew for a tiny digital practice amp???
Ioannis Tziallas Theres Bose or Klipsch bluetooth speakers that cost almost that much that are smaller and you can't play a guitar wirelessly in it with pre set tones. Or what about TV sound bars that cost that much?
Strange Brew Yes, I know, it’s a priority thing, though. I mean, think about it, a practice amp is just that. It can never be more than that (you’ll never gig with it and you won’t record your album with it), so why getting into the price range where you could find good sounding valve or ss amps new (bugera, jet city, Randall etc) or some of the classics in the second hand market? For me it’s a luxury I can’t afford when I have so many other priorities for my home studio so I find it a little bit over the top to spend the 400 on a practice amp. But if you have the money to spend why not?
The Katana 100 is cheaper and does more. Yes. But, I'm totally down for the completely wireless aspect of it so I can go places and just... PLAY. The price tag comes from the wireless ability, and bluetooth speaker capability. And finally, I have a better BT speaker than my Echo Dot. :)
got mine a couple weeks ago and I think it sounds cheap and "plastic like"....NOT worth $399...it's going back to Sweetwater....
You're supposed to take the shrink wrap off before you play!!
This is rad. I'll have to check one of these out.
Oh my gosh!! I want it ! Iwant it !
Pretty cool, but it seems spendy for an amp that you can’t gig with.
All you have to do is mod it to have an external cab output, took me about 2 minutes and it makes a decent amp for band practice since it's 30W, makes it more than loud enough for any smaller venue and it has line out so any larger venue would have a pa to run through
@@bryand.5240 so you're saying i can make this thing into a head?
Somehow I don't think I'll be mic'd into a $100,000 system. What does it sound like by itself?
istillsuckatguitar that byer Dynamics Mike is close to $1,000
Man i fell in love with that guitar, i hope they sell those in pearl white
Thanks Ola!
