Totally awesome bro!
nice pedal , but 2 time the website rejected my order from the USA - I guess it's not meant to be .
It worked for me. It is kind of a wonky website/ordering process. Had to jump through too many hoops. Shoulda just been "click here and use PayPal" type thing.
INCLUDING shipping? Fuck me, sold.
No wonder it sounds so good. Standard tuning makes a guitar sound tight and crisp. 👌
I can't believe there aren't any known pedals named CHUG and Ola gets to trademark one of his catch phrases! Can't wait for the Holy Shit and Clap pedals :))))
I'm saving my money for the "HOW ABOUT THAT" pedal
@@hellmikeguitar Waiting for the 'HELLO?' one, gonna be epic
The "holy shit" I can dig, "the clap" on the other hand sounds too funny, imagine saying "yeah dude I got the clap from Ola " 😆
Clap should be a reverb pedal.
Dont forge t the WhatNot :)
Ola's become a powerhouse for marketing in the metal guitar industry. Well done amigo 🤘🏼
Pre-house**
I thought it was a brothel-house, so sad
Yup got an orange crush because of his video on it
Muchos gracias pizan 🤘
@@nategin9009 Yeah man I got one of those a few years back. Killer amp for the price.
This is literally the first pedal I’ve heard with the right features in a simple design that would convince me to get a “just great clean” amp and then create my own distortion. BRAVO!!!
It’s absolutely wild in 2022 that new pedals don’t come with a mid knob or even a primitive noise gate. Ola really listened to what people want out of a pre amp pedal.
@@josefkainrad The only knob missing is a blend knob for us bass dorks.
It’s badass and I’m blown away by how quiet it is and it has a built in gate too. Really thought of everything pretty much .
@@josefkainrad current year! current year!
Haha because chug! Yass, so kleber.
You basically made your own Metal Zone and its amazing
I like how it sounds good at every setting. Like, the tones are still usable even with knobs at extremes. That's rare haha.
I like how the Eq knobs seem very effective without having a wildly wide range.
yep
Depth knob has some DEPTH!
Yeah it’s super subtle
Even from the demo I would enjoy if the mids knob had a bit more range.
Edit: that being said, a pedal that does a few sounds very well is always preferable over a pedal that does them all badly.
I am not a big Solar fan, but you just gotta give credit where credit is due- Ola managed to jam a whole lot of features into one pedal, while at the same time keeping the it size-friendly and at the same time having an absolutely top-level aesthetics that really raises the bar. Congratulations for a job VERY well-done!
Jw- why not Solar? Too aggressive or sharp maybe?
@@WardGuitarCabinets Maybe buid quality? It's completly fine but for the same price you have an Ibanez with top notch quality control and finition IMO
@@synhet84 Nothing wrong with the build quality....
@@MickH60 lol 🤔 huh
It's all the f same.
Finally a pedal with all the adjustments that you actually need instead of what they want to give you. Rock on Ola that's pretty cool!
It will be awesome to watch a "Will it CHUG" episode with this little beast 😅
0:10 Stop the timer. It chugs.
It should be "Will it NOT CHUG" instead.
This is so awesome and sick!! Ordered mine already man, looking forward to it!! 😎👍🏻🥳
Just ordered mine and can’t wait to use it. I’m Always happy to support you and the team. Grats on the new chapter and look forward to the next pedal.
Congrats, Ola! The pedal looks and sounds awesome! That gate knob is very useful!
Great sounding pedal with well-thought functionality! My congratulations, Ola - this is another milestone in your career! Would be cool to check this pedal myself!)
Ola what a awesome Metal pedal. The shipping package and the Chug pedal box is top notch. Couldn't be happier! Love the slope and the etching. I definitely feel like you caught Dimebag in a box plus it takes my P-drive super well. I was chugging away in less then a minute.
This is FANTASTIC! It's like all the most desired traits from all the best hi-gain amps in one! Cheers!
Congrats on bringing another type of product to us. Sounds great, multi-function knobs are cool, and I like the aesthetic that looks beefy yet clean. 🤘🏼
That sounds absolutely killer dude, congrats on releasing a bomb pedal!
This is a really good pedal. It has a lot of good features all in one pedal. I really like the advanced EQ, the gate, and the dual-gain feature. More options to dial-in your perfect chugging tones. It sounded really good.
this is like the perfect metal amp inside a pedal, I love that the eq has so many dials and the included noise gate
Just got my Chug pedal in the mail. Wow thanks for the kick ass tones ans amazingly fast delivery! Keep up the killer work my friend 🤘❤🤘
Sweet pedal Ola! The built-in noise gate is a nice touch.
Yeah I thought so too
congratulations, it sounds incredible, including the gate is a great idea
That is a beautiful pedal and i love how straight forward it is.
No esperaba menos, tiene todo lo que necesitas para un pre amp de este tipo, la incorporación del noise gate me parece para aplaudir de pie. El audio súper modificable y en cuánto a estética es minimalista me gusta
the difference it made just with the pedal alone into the clean section of the amp was insane😲😲
Great pedal and demo! Tone and flexibility of the sound I’ve been looking for in what seems like forever. Purchased. 🤘🎸🇺🇸
Ola I’m so happy to see this become a reality for you. I remember you saying a couple years ago how you’d go about an overdrive, and this is definitely a competitive addition to the market. I’ll be sure to snag one as soon as I have some splurge spending saved, congrats man! I’m super happy for you bro
Impressive. Pedal is useable throughout the knob ranges and should work for a variety of amps and guitars. Great demo as well on DI, stack direct or FXLoop, and combo. Personally I’m not a fan of modern metal tones but this is an impressive product. (I like crunch tones, use a Fryette D120 on my Diamond 4x12 with boosts and such)
I like how this is basically the Satan preamp in a box. Gotta hand it to you Ola, this is the most versatile pedal for high gain we've had so far, bravo!
Same. What pretty much sold me on it
Pretty sure it's a replica of the Diezel VH4 pedal.
@@LeftHandedRightHanded pretty sure the VH4 pedal has neither a noise gate nor the low/high filter knobs.
@@plumbummusic2051 are you talking about depth and presence? Because the VH4 does
@@LeftHandedRightHanded No he was talking about the separate gain knobs for high and low frequencies. That feature was (IIRC) in Fortin Natas which then found its way to Randall Satan and Randall Thrasher via Fortin.
Love the look of it! Congrats on the launch sir!
Congrats on this dude!!!
Solar is growing and that's incredible!!!🔥🔥🔥
Omg this is brilliant! I love the gate on it. The concentric knobs to save space. It looks SICK! Ola you nailed it with this one! I hope this is a main stay and not just a short run.
My wife ordered me a fart pedal for my birthday 2 days ago. If I had known about this I would have told her I wanted the chug.
Love it! U r a genius! The R&D work on it must’ve been top notch! Great awareness of the guitar market, a lot of features but focused more on supporting the purpose of the pedal more than on just craming a lot of functions into it. Super impressed and inspired! Sounds great too! The lil amp presentation in the end was a jackpot 🎰 fuck!
I’m literally creaming my pants over this as a fkn idea in itself 🫡🫡🫡
Sem sombra de dúvida, o senhor é a pessoa mais importante que eleva e entende o metal hj! Obg
I just can get over how good the pedal is. I was between this amd the deizel pedal...im getting this. Awesome job Ola., you made the best metal chug pedal thereb s today man.
Awesome big fat metal sound!
Solid 6/10.
Id say 6/9
9 times out of ten it gets a 10/9
Perfect 5/7
Very bright pedal, which Ola seems to go for bright tones usually. Sounded killer into the poweramp!
I get what you mean but still: @ 3:10 !
Metal Distortion is usually bright since treble makes the sound feel more distorted, and when your ears are ruined after years of loud sound you want it even brighter.
I'm treble-sensitive, I like my headphones "dark", but I always liked my chugs bright. So uh yeah I will order this pedal and sorry for the people who will hear my chugs in "ultrasounds" in 50 years I guess lol
Fair play, that pedal has everything I've been looking for. Perfect
Congrats man, really happy to see how much you have grown in the last years
The gate and LF/HF gain controls are awesome
Very nice jazz pedal
One more pedal for my (soon-to-be) collection! Sounds amazing, Ola!
I recently bought a Revv G3 and that started my love for distortion pedals, could not let this one pass by, just placed my order 🥳🤘
Looks like a solid box
Sounds better than most plugins out there and it's a "real" pedal I think definitely even great sound for the studio and a great start to Solar Pedals, if you guys make a boost pedal it's defiantly (along with this one) is going in my collection. The noise gate is like icing on the cake that means you can crank it up as loud as you want!!!
Why would it be defiantly going into your collection? What are you (or the pedal) being defiant against?
@@MrGul lol, I meant to write definitely but the spell check changed it to that, hehe
Great work Ola! It sounds great.
sounds great man, and the gate is the thing that puts it above others instantly.
I want one Chug pedal !!
This is a shockingly good first pedal! I probably won't pick one up as my amp has high gain covered, HOWEVER, this does make me excited for future Solar pedal releases. Hoping to see a gate or an overdrive in the future!
I just bought this pedal, I've been following your channel for a long time, I can't wait to receive it :)
Ola taking it to a hole new level!! Sounds awesome !!!!
7:26 what riff is that from? Cool ass riffage and bad ass pedal! Definitely well thought out and perfectly executed. Instant killer chugs into no matter wtf you're using lol and the pedals name is self explanatory ... A universal word every guitar player knows no matter where you're from or what language you speak and a word synonymous with ola.
epic riff
I was wondering the same here... I think is from a famous song
It's "Bullet Hole" by The Haunted. It's in the first album The Haunted.
Awesome pedal Ola, and the price is just as good, not cheap and not expensive, solid 6/10 :D
No one cares what you rated it, Alex. No one.
@@tonedover you must be new around here since you couldn't recognize an inside joke.
@@tonedover not getting the "inside joke" is one thing, i didn't get it either. but it was very much, *very clearly* a joke.
Dude, your riffs lately are even better than usual. Hell yeah.
Ola I love you, you really captured the CHUG and then some, I am so excited for my pedal, ordered it today WOOOOOOOOOO
Did you really register CHUG as a trademark? That's one of the most Metal things anyone has ever done. Also this seems like a stupidly good pedal.
What do I tell my wife it costs when she asks? 😅🧐
RIP
Listen to Ola not the wife! Dont tell her crap.
"It's super limited edition, only a few were made" usually works
I work my ass for it so I’m buying it babe that’s it….end of story❤
≈199 Euro/USD
Good EQ-ing is everything when it comes to getting the tone u want, great to see you've done a masterful job of it in this pedal :-) Plus handy noisegate and ability to vary the hi vs low frequency gain. Superb.
This thing is a beast. Man, I remember years ago when I first started watching Ola’s videos. Dude’s come such a long way!
I bought it and am very happy with it!
Ordered mine today. Can't wait to check it out 🤘
I got mine today. Very solidly built - like a tank. And it performs just as presented here. Good value for money!
Bought one. can't wait for it to arrive!
Got mine on order! Pedal looks like a work of art!!
Just wow! I really like this pedal and the possibilities to adjust the sound you want and with a noise gate it's absolutely great. If you compare it with other high gain distortion pedals it is not expensive. This pedal is on my list now "pedal I have to buy". 🤘🙃
I have been on the hunt for the perfect distortion pedal for months and the gods have spoken - pumped to order one
Well I just couldn’t resist… 😂
I paused the video and ordered this thing right away! I am very excited to try this! Cheers!
Congrats on your new pedal, Ola
Just ordered one! Can't wait to get it 😁
Already ordered!!! Only on the little 2 min video !!! And now I'm very glad I did
Congratulations man!!
Killer riffage Ola!!! Pedal sounds great man!!! Thanks!!
Very nice. It brings versatility to amps with limited EQ options. Like the Engl Powerball II has separate knobs for Presence and Depth Punch to control the "tightness" of the high and low-end.
Saw it, bought it. Pretty sure i am going to like it 🤘(can't wait)
Yummy in every aspect, that is a high standard, congratulations man!
Great Job Ola!!
Sounds badass and I like the feature set. Made my purchase!
Amazing pedal ! Appreciate that you use standard tuning to demonstrate this beast . Proof that it is not necessary to « downtune » deep into the ocean to sound powerful .
Finally, someone has made a preamp pedal I've always been looking for!
Congrats #Ola on the release of the new pedal
very good pedal man. The distortion LF and HF gain, great ideia. Parabens mestre! abraços do Brasil.
Ola this is awesome. Rock on.
OHHH Thank you! my Christmas gift!
Sounds great in each application.
I've been playing the Chug pedal for several days, and I absolutely love it. I'm using EMGs > Chug > PowerStage 170 and it's so badass. I've been using a KSR Ceres, which is another great pre-amp, but I'm replacing it on my pedal board with the Chug pedal. It's got a classic Rectifier feel about it. The knobs are so sensitive that I'd imagine there are many tones in the thing, you just have to find the one for you. I'd like to know a bit more about some of the parameters behind the knobs and how they effect things, but I figure trial and error is how I'll fine tune it over time. Thanks, Ola, for the dedication that you put into this pedal. I trusted your name when I bought it and it was completely justified. 🤘
Definitely buying one of these. Exactly what I’ve been after. I expected it to be around £250 (uk) and was shocked to find it’s only £179?!?! Awesome man. ❤
Gotta say, as a standalone distortion / preamp pedal, I haven't really heard anything that sounds better than this. It definitely works better as a preamp than a pedal directly into the input jack, but certainly not bad either way! Great job, Ola! 🤘
Sick pedal Ola!
It's feisty, no doubt about that. It's all the good stuff built in a straight-forward package, bravo for that. No taking the pedal apart to turn a gain screw , micro-switches or micro dials on the side nonsense. It's priced about where I thought it would be and not in the stratosphere like some can get and the pictures make it appear to be of very sturdy, stage ready construction. Cheers.
Ordered!!! Who else is stoked?! 🎉🎉🎉
I bought one as soon as I heard about it solely on Ola's reputation. I'm ready to chug!! 🤘
So good sounding pedal, packed with so many great features, built like a tank, with grreat design and named CHUG... kudos for all of these, bro, you nailed it to te max! 🤘
Please consider this when it comes to version 2: since it's designed to be used as a preamp pedal, I suggest adding a clean channel to it (when turned off or maybe as a separate option). As someone who's been using preamp pedals for about 6-7 years, a lack of clean channel could be real struggle when you're left with just with your dry power amp sound.
"Extremely useful gate" - god do I love this man
I just ordered the CHUG pedal can’t wait to get it
How do you like it ?
All those features make this thing sick!!!!!
Saving up for one right now. This is insane. 🤘🤘
AmaCing stuff! Look at dat pedal! 🔥🔥🔥 definitely going to buy this pedal.
That is one of the very best if not the best drive pedals for it's total tweakabillity and as you say personalisation I've seen in my 52 years of playing
10 out of 10
Holy crap that’s so clean!! And yet so nasty!!! Dude congrats on the pedal!!! Cheers
