I like these “half assed” demos more than I think you’re normal ones. I think it’s more accurate representation of what ever you’re demoing and what it would actually sound like if I plugged it in for the first time. Having stuff demoed in full mixes can be misleading some times haha
Update!! It is no longer called Fried Mien! I think Friedman sent the heavy boys round to rough them up a bit. It’s now called US Gold 100. Look out for it
I’m really getting interested in these, but the small size makes me worried that they will run off and hide with all those missing picks.. I really like these ”half assed” videos, it really fun to watch!
Cali-Dual?? Fried-Mien??? Where can I find more info about those micro preamps?? I just looked at the Mooer website and cannot find them. DAMN!!! Just when I thought that I won't have GAS for a long time!!!! That Friedman emulation sounds really really good.
The Friedman sounds great imho, I have the 5150 Model and the MXR EVH Distortion and the Mooer is a great budget preamp pedal including a clean channel. The Friedman may end up in my collection as well.
I bought the Dual Cali a while back, now I kind off wish I'd have gone for the Friedman. Then again, putting a tubescreamer in front of the dual Cali works well to make it less muddy.
I think what would be cool is plugging in modelers into the clean channel in the actual amps they emulate and switching between the clean with the pedal on and the gain channel with the pedal off to see how close they get to the real thing..I actually do that with my Boss Gt1 to dial in tones I like using my collection of tube amplifiers.
If you run it in the clean channel you still would get the EQ colouring of that preamp in your actual amp. The best way to compare these is to run them in the FX Loop just using the power amp section!
Herrdesrings True ..I have tried both ways and I prefer through the clean channel..Thats just what my ears like better..plus the ability the adjust the tone with the amp's clean channel...perhaps test both ways..that would be good as well
The Cali-Dual is maybe a mix of a Mesa Boogie Caliber and a Rectifier I guess? Unfortunately it sounds like none of them! The Fried chicken or something, sounds better to me.
Genuine Question: Were Misha, Tosin, and the other djent/prog guys who used the Friedman models in the Axe FX the main reason why Friedman has became so popular in recent years? Like what other small boutique amp makers have micro preamp pedals copying them?
Whats up man!!! Help me please ... plug the Mooer 011 on the return of a Meteoro 2x12 MCK200 (Andreas Kisser) and I can't get a nice sound. I've tried everything, digging the middle for a more Metallica sound, I've left it flat and etc. Except that NOTHING ... I can't get a nice sound for my ears. Why that??? Help me. Thanks.
Gibsoad Studios I believe he stated those pickups in solar guitars are only available in solar guitars. Watch the faq he did about the solar guitars thing and it may have the answer.
Gibsoad Studios. I honestly can't answer that question with certainty. I'm sure if you made 2 forum posts people could tell you some similar ones. Try wording one how you expect someone to word the question and then on the other post say something like "solar pickups sound a lot like nazguls" and the weirdest geardos should be on the prowl to correct ya. Honestly though I could be wrong about their availability for separate purchase.
Can you use one of these as a a pre, with the output as fx send, and a power amp (like SD power stage, mooer baby bomb, ehx magnum 44) with the input as fx ret? I've been considering converting my pedalboard into my amp as well, so that I can carry it with me anywhere and just plug into a cab. Would it work?
Works perfect! I got the 005 Model and the EHX Magnum 44 and it's loud as fuck and sounds almost like a real EVH (although the bass response is a bit different)
If you use it between the preamp pedal and the poweramp than it's basically in the FX loop - so a delay/reverb/looper/noisegate pedal fits nice in there. I'm running a noisegate, Compressor and TS style pedal in front of the Mooer and another noisegate, delay/reverb and looper afterwards :D
I don't know why but I might like your half-assed demos as much or more than your normal demos. Probably a lot less editing and retakes for you anyway.
Why would you need another cab sim? The thing has one built in. You could run it with a Baby Bomb or EHX 44 Magnum and play a real cab that will be loud enough to compete with a drummer
+Herrdesrings Probably because the one built in is some kind of circuit, whereas with the Radar, you're using an IR of the cabinet. Of course, you need to disable the preamp's cabinet simulation.
LOL you don't have to. I got the 005 Brown Sound and it has more than enough gain. I just don't like the fizzy high end you get when you crank the gain
I like these “half assed” demos more than I think you’re normal ones. I think it’s more accurate representation of what ever you’re demoing and what it would actually sound like if I plugged it in for the first time. Having stuff demoed in full mixes can be misleading some times haha
That's why every coming video will have the title HALF ASS DEMO - in it, no matter how half assed or serious it is
Update!! It is no longer called Fried Mien! I think Friedman sent the heavy boys round to rough them up a bit. It’s now called US Gold 100. Look out for it
That's hypocrit since Friedman clearly copied Marshall...
All Mooer preamps have two channels. Clean and lead. You can sweep between them by holding footswitch few sec. Each channel sound setup is memorized
These are honestly my favorite demos ever.
I’ll take these half assed demos as long as Solar keeps making full assed guitars.
Wait a second... 🤘🏼🍑🤘🏼
You should make a video where you use the mooer preamp pedals with the mooer radar cab sim pedal
The Friedman pedal... is actually sick.
You are the man Ola. Love all your videos. Much respect from Australia
Now I need a demo of the friedman with the torpedo or the Randall Satan as a power amp.. That little thing sounds huge
Mien is noodle in Chinese, so that makes it fried noodles
I’m really getting interested in these, but the small size makes me worried that they will run off and hide with all those missing picks.. I really like these ”half assed” videos, it really fun to watch!
Tony Berg lost in a drawer full of odd socks, picks and micro pedals lol
Velcro that bad boy down ! Shouldn’t run off then 🤣
the fried mien sounds amazing! was there any post processing tho cos I cannot believe a tiny little pedal like that sounds so good
Cali-Dual?? Fried-Mien??? Where can I find more info about those micro preamps?? I just looked at the Mooer website and cannot find them.
DAMN!!! Just when I thought that I won't have GAS for a long time!!!! That Friedman emulation sounds really really good.
They are coming out in January, Ola kinda leaked the info
The Friedman sounds great imho, I have the 5150 Model and the MXR EVH Distortion and the Mooer is a great budget preamp pedal including a clean channel. The Friedman may end up in my collection as well.
@Andresriff I love the gate and the overall sound, it's a really basic preamp in a sturdy box.
@Andresriff Did you run it in the FX loop?
Your voice and accent remind me a lot of strong bad from the homestar runner comics- freaking amazing content and that was a bonus feature for me
"You shang the shannel" lol love you, Ola!
Does a green room inspire playing metal more brutally, besides making it harder to spot your Ibanez Tube Screamer?
I bought the Dual Cali a while back, now I kind off wish I'd have gone for the Friedman. Then again, putting a tubescreamer in front of the dual Cali works well to make it less muddy.
You bought the Mk3 008 pedal (Mark III copy) since these 2 in this video are coming out in January :D
I use the fried man live and it’s killer
Best £80 I have ever spent
Sounds good in this demo! Can’t help but wonder if it smokes my Helix direct in PA for live gigs! 🎸👍
I own a Cali-Duo and do well with it , the Friedman is awesome!
well done
Ola can you please do a demo of these through and amp and cab like you did with the others?
Holy shit dude that Fried Mein sounds in-fucking-sane.
I think what would be cool is plugging in modelers into the clean channel in the actual amps they emulate and switching between the clean with the pedal on and the gain channel with the pedal off to see how close they get to the real thing..I actually do that with my Boss Gt1 to dial in tones I like using my collection of tube amplifiers.

1:34 wtf those sounds
Lol Ola your short Demo's are the best!! The Fried-mein was alot better sounding, thanks for the demo I'm gonna have to look for one now.
Just bought the US Gold 100 (which is the new name of the Fried Mien) based on this review, waiting for it to come to the mail
merp, it would've been interesting to see the dual cali with a boost in front. cool video though, that friedman one sounds pretty decent.
Hey ola of love it if you did a quick demo of these through a power amp.
Lovely stuff
More videos like this please!
The Cali-Dual is maybe a mix of a Mesa Boogie Caliber and a Rectifier I guess? Unfortunately it sounds like none of them! The Fried chicken or something, sounds better to me.
As soon as that solar S2.6 is coming with an evertune Im buying it. Really hoping it to come on the next run of solar models.
Genuine Question: Were Misha, Tosin, and the other djent/prog guys who used the Friedman models in the Axe FX the main reason why Friedman has became so popular in recent years? Like what other small boutique amp makers have micro preamp pedals copying them?
Like Matchless, Two Rock, Diezel?
So Ola which one do you like the most from all of them new and old models
Did you get a belt for Christmas? Or maybe suspenders?
3:18 A New Level???
1:55 trve kvlt black metal tone
Are these the new models? I haven't seen them in the stores yet.
Coming out in January afaik
Hey Guys, Can these be used in front of a single channel clean amp like the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive??
Use it in the return loop and jump the main preamp or is gonna sound bad.
I always wanted to know. Is the sound of your guitar were hearing in this video coming straight from your studio monitors?
The Fried-Mien is the Mooer 012 Preamp
FlexYoFace Chase 012?
Thanks for this comment, I was looking for it to purchase, doesn't seem to be available yet, and not on mooer's website yet (the cali duo neither)
Seems like Ola teased us ... they are coming out in January.
I love you Chugga Chugga bro ❤️
Ola, what tuning are you in?
between 005 and fried mien which you prefer sir?
I can’t find this fried mien anywhere, is it not out yet
It's now on Reverb.com and there are more coming! The 013 is based on a matchless c30
Whats up man!!! Help me please ... plug the Mooer 011 on the return of a Meteoro 2x12 MCK200 (Andreas Kisser) and I can't get a nice sound. I've tried everything, digging the middle for a more Metallica sound, I've left it flat and etc. Except that NOTHING ... I can't get a nice sound for my ears. Why that??? Help me. Thanks.
God I love the sound from your pickups. Anyway I can just buy the pickups
Gibsoad Studios I believe he stated those pickups in solar guitars are only available in solar guitars. Watch the faq he did about the solar guitars thing and it may have the answer.
Tactical Bathtub hmmm. So I guess what pickups would be similar that I can buy
Gibsoad Studios. I honestly can't answer that question with certainty. I'm sure if you made 2 forum posts people could tell you some similar ones. Try wording one how you expect someone to word the question and then on the other post say something like "solar pickups sound a lot like nazguls" and the weirdest geardos should be on the prowl to correct ya.
Honestly though I could be wrong about their availability for separate purchase.
If you want to get something similar I would get the Seymour Duncan Custom 5 Alnico!
Ola Englund thanks a ton man! I’ll give them a shot
the fried nyan one is great!
But....will it chug?
The 33 must always be in reach of the metal musician... \m/
what is this guitar model?
Ok now you just made me spend another $100 for the Fried Mien pedal.
Off topic maybe, but what would be a good neck pup for the seymour Duncan custom 5 in the bridge?
Andrés Márquez alnico II... its kind of a similar tone, but obviously with low output... works for me at least
the fried mien sounds good
great video .... but got just one question... which one of these recreates MARSHALL sound?? I'll appreciate someone reply me ... t-you =)
US Gold 100 resembles a JCM800
Can you use one of these as a a pre, with the output as fx send, and a power amp (like SD power stage, mooer baby bomb, ehx magnum 44) with the input as fx ret? I've been considering converting my pedalboard into my amp as well, so that I can carry it with me anywhere and just plug into a cab. Would it work?
Nicolás Yes it would work, if it sounds good is the other question
Works perfect! I got the 005 Model and the EHX Magnum 44 and it's loud as fuck and sounds almost like a real EVH (although the bass response is a bit different)
Herrdesrings now, would I be able to use effects between the two? would that make it sound bad somehow?
Nicolás it shouldn't make the sound worse than the sources that generate it. You must decide if you like the sound of those micro preamps though
If you use it between the preamp pedal and the poweramp than it's basically in the FX loop - so a delay/reverb/looper/noisegate pedal fits nice in there. I'm running a noisegate, Compressor and TS style pedal in front of the Mooer and another noisegate, delay/reverb and looper afterwards :D
Hey Ola,how do you connect a tube preamp into an amp head?
FX loop would be the best way
1:35 Ola gone gangsta
It would be great to test them with the Radar, because the cab sim of the micro preamp pedals aren't that great. ;)
How do they handle a boost?
Fried mien or 005?
1:55 wow! It's a fucking mini metal zone, o wait... ooh yeah.
Will it chug?
Trilling on the 3rd fret while fucking with dials: it's a guitarist thing.
Dude, that friedman pedal sounds pretty good. Throw a boost and some good irs and it'd sound damned good
Haha... Uploaded yesterday the fifty fifty preamp review 🤣. The Preamp is really close to the Original. Great Pedal for less Money.
Very true, I still enjoy my 005 preamp pedal eventhough I have the EVH III and MXR EVH Overdrive preamp :D
EVH Stuff is very Cool :)
ayeapprove hey wich You believe do a better " blue" Channel simulator?
Try this: 33 boost -> Kali -> Satan loop return -> Your cab (or loadbox)... Wait, what about the Radar?
friedman makes some bad ass amps,you should try one every chance you get,you will most likely end up owning one my friend.nice demo
Imma gonna get me some chow mien now
goddamn, there's no Fried-Mien anywhere. I really liked that sound, it would be great for practice
Coming out next year ;D
ahhh that's why, thanks
They are now available at reverb.com - should be in stores next week
Cab impulses just don't sound the same. Its a weird fuzz, excited top, thinner bottom.
They both sound very fizzy and digital to me.
you should hear them with a real cab and/or tube poweramp
@Frater Simon what's that?
@Frater Simon no, I have 3 of these but no engl. I got the 5150, Mesa MK3 and Friedman
Lowers gains "That's tight"..hahaha
the Friedman seems much better, anyway both doesn't seem to sound better than my old Pod Pro mark 1
The second one sounds a little better than my Digitech RP55 😂
I don't know why but I might like your half-assed demos as much or more than your normal demos. Probably a lot less editing and retakes for you anyway.
Hey ! I have the same shirt ! =)
I guess that they're designed to be combined with a Radar cabinet simulator.
Alex Blanco And maybe the Baby Bomb 30 Power Amp also.
Radar has Power Amp Sims already...
Need the baby bomb if you actually want to run a cab. Radar is only good for DI, headphones or monitor/PA
Why would you need another cab sim? The thing has one built in. You could run it with a Baby Bomb or EHX 44 Magnum and play a real cab that will be loud enough to compete with a drummer
+Herrdesrings Probably because the one built in is some kind of circuit, whereas with the Radar, you're using an IR of the cabinet. Of course, you need to disable the preamp's cabinet simulation.
The clarity is what lacks. Its muddy and doesn't have the punch. or smooth
2:45 3:48 4:01
I'm gonna pre!
i pre for the pre
GG!
Sounds like cali would be better with overdrive pedal in front.
That us 100 sound like brown sound.
Hey Ola, buy a belt bro. XD
It was a forgot a belt kind of day....
hehehe, working at home has those extra advantages. Have a nice day!
💗👍👍👍💗
So, im a young person wanting to get into recording my guitar. How do i start?
Guitar -> Interface -> DAW is good way
Nice one!! Regards from Portugal!! \../ P.S.: Can you please give me one of your Solar guitars for this Yule season? Please?... Thank you
Fried mien sounds so much better
poor man he still cant afford a belt after all these years
Wasn't that Solar a Washburn first?
i believe he parted with washburn to make solar an independent thing
Pronounced "Fried Main" ....I would assume....
wtf was that at 1:34 😂
This quick demos are much better. WYSIWYG. no tweek nothing
They’re preamps, so stick a booster pedal in front of it for teh metal lulz
LOL you don't have to. I got the 005 Brown Sound and it has more than enough gain. I just don't like the fizzy high end you get when you crank the gain
its not for teh gainz, its for teh tightening
They are quite tight from the beginning
Brown sound is usually tight anyway, but Mesa and others are not
I was gonna procrastinate, but I figured I'd just do it tomorrow...
I think Ola was wearing a thong ?!!?!! 😬😝😝
Daniel Bryan are You? Hahaahaha
Fried mien. Stekta nudlar
friedman 012 wins
I feel awkward just watching this ...
