- What if I used plugins together with a tube amplifier? Would the world implode? In this video I'm hooking up the Fortin Nameless Plugin into my Randall Satan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, but who gives a shit, here's a video... Using a plugin into an amplifier? Yes or no?
HBD bretheran Ola
Happy Birthday champ.
Happy birthday Ola, hope it's a slightly more than adiquit one.
Ola Englund happy birthday brother!!!! Keep kicking ass!!!!
Happy birthday sir
Green Solar pre-ordered !!! 🤘🤘
Please burp in my guitar case.
Kekullain Uladh That's how Ola should bless guitars before they ship, "in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Dimebag. Buuuuuuurp"
Ola (and anyone interested), I've been doing exactly this for the last year, having my entire setup in my backpack, traveling and playing :) I can 100% confirm it's doable :) will probably do a video about it when I get the time ♥️🙌
Yep, was using Helix in Australia/EU and BIAS in India :) Never had a single issue
Please make a video on this! I'm sure many people (myself included) would be thrilled to learn about your setup!
@@DavidMaximMicic Does the place/country affect on your decision of which plugin to use? Thanks!
@@rnr_imbee omg hahaha 😀 yeah sure, mostly about the time zone... 🤔
Any plans to update that Fortin plugin? You're using v0.0.3 and the latest one is v1.1.3. :D
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Happy BDay, Ola! I've just received my left handed Solar A2.7 TBRM and I love it so much! Top quality guitar for a fair price. As a lefty, I'm sooo happy. Cheers
ill disable my adblock and watch the entire ads on your video as a present, happy burthday man!!
Very interesting video, I forgot to ask you when you mentioned it, but what would your contingency be for stability, like if your Mac went down, or something went wrong live.
Yeah that’s the only thing I’m worried about. But I’ve tested it for a bit now at home. Seems like it works, the big test will be next week when I try it out live :S
Ola Englund oh shit! Hahaha yeah let us know man, could be awesome.
This Fortin thing... It sounds really Awesome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLA! You are a badass and an awesome guy making awesome videos, please KEEP IT UP like this!
Happy birthday man! Greetings from Sweden!
I had been thinking about this. Cheers Ola, and happy birthday.
I’ve been running Fortin in to my 5150 LBX for a week or so now. Absolutely slays. Add to that the plethora of fx plugs that can be easily added to the chain it’s a winning combination. Live? Not so sure but at home this is absolutely stellar.
I like that you showcase this as a possibility. For many smaller bands this will be THE way to get great sounds live without having to worry, or without being able to afford expensive (and thus very often good) amplifiers. I read in the Fortin group that your fellow swedes Humanitys Last Breath used the Nameless live a couple of weeks ago.
And also gratulerer med dagen gumman!
That is some great idea Ola, I will try it myself!! BTW happy birthday!!
happy birthday my man, much love, have a great day!
I hope Mike Fortin read my comment. after success with Fortin Nameless Plugin, please collab with Mooer and make Fortin Messugah in small form Mooer Preamp LOL
Can't you do that with the Orange Teleport tho ?
TheSaniwaa With the Orange Teleport you still need a PC to run it. A preamp pedal would be a standalone unit instead.
Fuck yes
OH SHIT
FVCK YEAAAAHHHH
Happy Metal Birthday, Ola!!!
Happy birthday Ola!
Happy birthday ola!
Your content always manages to crack me up. 😎
Happy birthday man!
Sounds awesome little complicated with setting it up.. But
So much possibility.
51 views. Wow. Happy Birthday, Ola! You have at least one supporter from Kazakhstan here))
Rey Shakirzhanov 🎂🎂🎂🤘🏻
Visceral Abomination Two?
I've been wondering this for years! sadly I don't have the equipment to messed with. Thank you Ola.
I was using the same idea 2 years ago. Another cool thing you can do is using your DAW automations to change your sound. Great video btw!
I already tried a similar solution in two concerts and it work great! Used MainStage for it, a Behringer FCB1010 for controlling the switching and an external sound card connected to the main PA. It worked flawlessly and I was quite happy with the sound. It think it is an option that guitarists should strongly consider. Actually, when you see a Mac next to a keyboard player, it is quite probably using a similar solution (MainStage + plugins). But I agree with you Ola, and it is difficult to change the mindset... I really love having physical pedals (turning physical knobs... hummm) in front of me and an amp blowing in my ears :) Again, great video and Happy - delayed, because you know what you are - Birthday!
Happy birthday Ola, you are the best swedish metal youtuber that owns a guitar company
Happy birthday Ola.
Happy Birthday, keep on badassing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLA :)
Happy Birthday Ola! You and I same age and Birthday. Cheers to our fallen brother Cliff Burton. Your Solar guitars are insane!
Man!! Your birthday is a day after mine!! cool :) happy birthday btw! have a nice day!
HI I'M OLA, AND THIS IS OLA ENGLUND
Matt Hellforge Hi 👋
I’m Matt Hellforge
And I’m a purple haired lady 🤣 👍🏻
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Happy birthday, Ola ! I hope you'll have a great day.
I dig the fancy new logo!
Great incite & dig your Solar Guitars
This is quite awesome
Ola, Native instruments guitar rig (the outboard stomp thingy) might be right up your alley
I've done both methods live, back in 2009-2010 :) No issues. I went Guitar -> Fireface 400 -> preamp VST (Wagner Sharp v0.6) -> either IR-to-desk, or to FX loop return of an amp.
I must say I am impressed, didn't think it'd sound that good. But when you think of it, it's not that surprising that it sounds that good
You could use a dedicated vst host such as plogue bidule as opposed to logic (or your personal DAW flavour) this is something I've considered using for any future live projects since I no longer have the engl fireball I used to gig with. Along with a midi foot controller and some mapping to switch/bypass plugins, the possibilities are endlless. Prefer the clean of an engl but the gain on a 5150...? now you can have both in a vst host using the foot controller to 'switch your amp channels'. Glad to see someone like you putting this concept out there in a vid!
I accidentally activated the closed captions while you were soloing, and I noticed the added applauses. I see what you did there.
This video is one of the smartest videos considering the year we are in.
Bands are not making money with shows, but bands still have to travel A LOT. Who pays for all the shipping, or all the rentals, and what about the consumed time at airports and ports just to get a VERY fragile tube amp from the speciality bay, and time to remove/re-add all tubes on long flights... etc.
Since we are in a time where smaller not multi-millionaire bands can travel around, carry only the basics (guitar and axe-fx), and it sounds good (of course maybe not as good as the real deal, which you would probably use in a studio situation, but more then good enough for stage..with people screaming, and crazy mixes anyway, poorly treated venues), doing what you are doing is very smart, efficient and sounds great.
Happy birthday! Taking a computer on the road as an amp would be risky, but if you ever decide to do a smaller show/clinic maybe try out and let us know.
😂😂😂😂 your vids are hilarious. But also very informative. Keep them coming. Cheers from Michigan
Happy birthday Ola, you handsome bastard! The setup sounds killer...but as you said, I don't think everyone is ready to trust a laptop with their live setup.
I ve been using this for quite a while now and it’s super handy when you are on a budget. The iPad app I m using never failed so.... I consider it a reliable solution. At least more than a tube amp :-)
I've been running my evh head into the Rockcrusher into my interface , bypassing the head and into the Fortin cab. Sounds pretty cool
Yeh man I've been re-amping plugins into fx return for years. Getting some really great results. Remember you're going balanced to unbalanced. So ground lift or isolation is necessary
So... how did you went from balanced to unbalanced?, Reamp box? the reamp box option seems quite expensive for me :$
Happy birthday to me too!!!! Lol love vids man!!!!
Grattis på födelsedag, Ola! You’re exactly one month older than I am, and a reminder that I’ve accomplished fuck all with my life 👍. Have a great one.
I've sold my amplifier, just take notebook, easy, same sound always. Love it!
Sometimes I plug into an amp, other times direct to the PA.
Always nice!
yes, but I only use it for feedback, to listen to myself.
It changes few characteristics of the sound, but still with the same essence
another cable carries the sound I really want to the speakers on stage
Happy Birthday, Ola. I saw a video of Devin Townsend's laptop fucking up (he needs it for the samples) and if you don't have the comedic genius of Devin, it could be hard to deal with that situation. But if you need to bring a midi-footcontroller anyway, I don't really see the point of not using something like a Helix or Fractal anyway.
I've been using this setup since 2014. Laptop(i5 Intel)>Line 6 POD Studio UX1+POD Farm>line out from UX1>amp+efx loop return Really like it 👍😊
Plugins live are awesome, been doing it for years. We did Euroblast 9 with nothing but a computer and instruments
Back in the early 2000s I used to gig with Guitar Rig 3 and 4 running on a struggling laptop. Never failed me and was a lot better than that multifx pedals I could afford at the time
Happy Burfday. I enjoy your show. Rock on...
HAPPY BEERDAY OLA
happy berfday older englund, nice one for the idea, keep pushing the tone man:) did sound brutal , have you tried a wgs 10 alnico speaker for recording, do it one time, peace
That is a beautiful guitar
yes, John McLaughlin did this around 2009. "The Guitar signal arrives from an M-Audio 410 via FireWire to the computer ("G4 Laptop") . I send it directly through Amplitube 2". But: if you need more presets for a gig then you need to have an external controller (i think switching preset on a mac with the feet is not so easy). So at this point a small fx unit with switches would be more easy and comfortable.
Grattis på Födelsedag!!!!! Have an awesome Day!!!!
Another great video with a great idea!
I think this is the future. They’re probably refining this as we speak, making it more and more reliable.
Now we just need to find a way to get tone snobs to shut up 🤐 when people do this and not be all “authentic tube amp blah blah blah “
Cause it’s about how well you play anyways, in the end...
Ola makes everything sound good.
What year is it?
Travis K it’s 1981, the best decade is about to begin, and Ola is born! 🎂🎂🎂 On this very day! And his parents have BIG HAIR
Visceral Abomination . Don't worry about tone snobs. Most of them failed the blind test 👍.
Yeah, there's no way a pickup needs more wiring than a satellite receiver. I'm no guitarist, so maybe I'm just confused by the nomenclature, but a pre-amp is something that's inside the guitar and so should the digitization for that matter. Don't even get me started... should have a USB jack right on the guitar body. I think you'd have problems doing real-time processing on a laptop without a real-time operating system on there... i.e. not windows ...
edit :whoops I should say the pre-amp SHOULD be inside the guitar
it's not all about playing tho
give someone a poor setup and they're gonna sound worse; it's not about just _sounding good_ . it's about sounding as good as you can. my amplifier _sounds good_ on its own, but i choose to use boosts and eqs because it makes it _better_
my amplifier sounds good on its own, but i choose to run the fx loop signal stereo through another amp because it's better. 'just good' is not good enough.
Happy birfday Ola!
That fortin amp SOUNDS killer
I am crazy about the amp-sims these days. It's come so far and they are so good, I just love messing around with all the settings and options. Just so many tones you can get it's almost overwhelming... almost. \m/
I used bias amp with my 5150 power section and i abosutely loved it. Very quiet no weird digital haze. Tone for dayz
To my fellow noobs: If you're using a budget interface like the Volt 1 then I found that you'll need a DI box between the interface and amp to match impedances. I'm using the Pyle PDC21 with a built in Attenuator ($10) and it works great.
1. Use a balanced TRS to XLR cable to connect the interface output to the output of DI box (since we're running in reverse)
2. Use a normal instrument cable (unbalanced) to connect the DI Box Input to the Fx Return Loop on your amp
3. On the DI box turn off Ground and turn the Attenuator to -40DB to eliminate noise. You may need to adjust these settings based your setup.
4. Follow the other recommendations that Ola suggests like turning off the cabinet in the plugin/etc.
5. Melt faces
Happy bday from SoCal, homie!
I've been trying this out but going the other way, using pedals and amp distortion into a DI and then using impulse responses in Reaper. I'd love to see you try that out too, and how you think it sounds.
My amp broke up and, since them, I'm using my interface and my notebook to play in live situations. I use the Emissary plugin with Lecab, for the effects, my Angry Charlie, morning glory and zoom CDR direct in the interface. The P.A. pluged in the phone input of my M Audio. Sounds really good to me
How about trying the physical amp head into the audio interface and using the emulated cab before sending it to FoH? 80% of the tone is in the cab so you can get that perfect mic'd up sound every time. No cab needed. Just an idea.
Loving your vids as always 🤘🏻
I did this.sounds incredible.
You need a very good tube amp tho for it to sound as good as the plugin
you are a chemist of tones and machines, my master
guitar solos are so crazy. guitar solos are so crazy. Especially when you challenge yourself. I have ones that I have recorded that I just can never play the same again LOL. I love that solo though
Hi Ola! What is your advice when recording/playing live with two guitars? for example if you are using this setup right here what do you recommend the other guitarist should use?
YOU ROCK. Stay safe. I started watching again just seen my new surgeon ugh more test. Take care of yourself when your young I'm old yuck keep kicking ass.
Crispy af, Ola.
Ola!!! Big fan of you and Solar guitars here from New Zealand. What exercises would you recommend to an old man (35yrs) learning to play guitar? I am able to play basic riff bang's and some songs. But i cannot nail the leads... My solo's are terrible and my notes are even worse. Anything you recommend to improve? Asking as i have played on and off but now i have invested a small fortune into gear and must get better.
Knowing that you generally start to work around 9 a.m, it's OK if you do goofy video intros like this one! 😁
Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday dude! Hey, what about impedance mismatch? Shouldn't there be something between your Interface Output and the Return of the Amp?? Or did i miss something? Won't you (in theory) lose some audio quality?
Happy birthday oldla. Now you just need to find a piece of great that can act as a foot switch controller for the plugins on the pc, and review it
I've always wondered if I could do this with my Diavlo! I imagine Mercuriall would be awesome.
Happy Birthday rock on 🤘🏻🤘🏻
HAPPY B DAY OLA!!Btw,whats up with the Sola mug?
You could use something like the toneshifter 3s and a laptop live. It’s an audio interface with four control stomp buttons for patch changes and use a laptop to run amplitube or logic :) then run to front of house and use in ear monitors and skip the amp
I assume that it would work like a solid state amp head with a program inside of it that tells the sound how to do its thing... Like how it all works in the future!
Oh, you blew up your Apollo 8? Cool! Rocket science! 🚀
Yes! Few years ago!
Happy birthday, Ola. Sounds nice. But I am an all analog guy. Si I will stay with the amp.
Ola, what’s your experience when you gig with just a preamp. Are you plugging straight into the house amp input or using a 4CM or 7CM? Thanks 🤘
Michael Keene from The Faceless was doing this when I saw them back in 2013, before they moved to Fractals for live situations. Can't remember what he was using, I think it was GTR, or something. He did say, but I honestly can't remember.
What was that delay plugin? Looks easy to use and sounds so cool!
Happy birthday old man!!! Happiness and health for you and your family!!! Although you should see an oesophagologist regarding your burping problem... XD
We do that with my band...Going direct from Amplitube 4 (we will probably get the fortin tho), or we use a poweramp and go into our cabs :) So far, so good, nothing ever crashed :D
I have the Toneforge Misha plugin, should I buy the Fortin Nameless too?
Awesome
I've done this for the better part of two years, it works awesome!
Great video Ola! I think very good Idea is to use Mercuriall Reaxis and U 530 preamps with real power amps. I have at home Engl Fireball 60 and I would try to run reaxis with engls power amp. It might me the cheapest way how to get at home Mark 2c+ sounds haha.
what would you plug in the send of the fx loop? nothing going into the amp imput?
question: would we have a replacement for the AX8 from Fractal Audio?!
I do the same but im using other plugins.
Happy Birthday btw
I'm new to all this Signal Chain stuff but how do I reduce latency? Please help
