SCUBASCRIBE FOR MORE CAPS LOCK!
between this and revv g3 what do you will choose?
Hi Ola !!! Scuba not my thing. Maybe u find a guy named Steve to sribe while hes doing the scuba thing.
Great video. Did misha give u the opportunity to be first to demo ?
What is this song called as, 0:08?
ALL CAPS FOR CARLOS GUITARLOS!!!!
Have you tried MXR Full Bore Metal?
I love you.
Misha Mansoor theerrrre it is. 🍆💦👨❤️👨
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Misha ur da best!
Whens the pedal coming out and what is the price going to be please?
$299USD
Well the last pedal, the price was 100 percent worth it. If you nail this one, you'll be 2 and 0!
It's toight like a toiger
Smoke and a pancake?
flapjack and a cigarrette
My fahjuh
Cigar and a waffle?
Bong and a blintz?
The pedal falling over is like a perfect metaphor for my life once I discovered anime
Sithu Aye I know right. When watching Anime i wonder to myself. Is there nothing I won't masturbate to.
Sithu, are you planning on releasing tab for Senpai II? Some of your lead runs are a massive pain in the ass to work out by ear! Take my money!
Tabs for Senpai II and Set Course for Andromeda are (finally) actually happening as we speak! I want to get those out in the next few months
Yes! Thank you!
HOLY YES ! Was hoping for those so much !
This sounds awesome
your amp has different size shoes on
The varying camera angles are pretty sweet, your video quality is constantly improving!
Nick Hetzschold Nope. Dick cam's missing
Woah that sounds killer even through iPhone speakers!
Diego Oliveira No it doesn't. Get better speakers, better headphones
Ingemar Oskar get a less douchey attitude about other peoples stuff
"Its still tight (says it correctly), even without the toight mode engaged"
Considering all your gain was coming from the pedal, I was very impressed with how it sounds; the eq seems to be very pleasant and it's nice that the pedal works well with the Precision Drive. However, I can't deny that your cab was probably having a huge influence on the tone; I was not very impressed with the snippet of the cab sim through the interface.
I'd like to hear more examples of the built in cab sim, especially since it has the virtual mic sweep. It'd also be nice to hear the pedal in a few more scenarios, like through a few different cabs, combo amps, and virtual cabs/impulse response. Seems like a very good pedal though.
Cab sim is unusable - a disaster.
yeah, that's the take-away i've gotten from watching almost every apex preamp video on youtube: it sounds great, but the cab sim fucking sucks. it also really needs at least a power amp, because on its own it really struggles. it's not quite the "all-in-one" solution for modern metal tones horizon devices claim it to be, but in the right context, it really shines.
Spoiler alert: it sucks
Sounds amazing into the fx loop return. They need to shove a version of that in a rack housing, stick a switchable loop in it, add a 2nd channel for cleans. Would make a nice rack rig into a proper poweramp.
"I'm not perfect, you know...I need tape too" just might be my favorite quote of 2019 so far
I think you guitars always sound awesone regardless of other stuff, man. Love and respect for you!

Misha never seems to disappoint...got myself a precision drive 1/2 year ago, this pedal is killer!
It sounds good in the front. Even better sounding in the fx loop..
The sound is so tight and beautiful, thanks for combine the pedals Ola.
"I was just gonna say the noise gate works really well, then the pedal fell over like a little bitch..." 😂😂😂
Waiting for the neighbor to ring the doorbell 😀
Me too!!...LOL To let Ola know he "appreciates" the playing....LOL
Thank you for what you do, Ola. Your channel is so informative, and hilarious.
I find that my biggest issue when recording is proper layering. Even just some octaves over a heavy riff, they just never seem to cut through the right way.
I think the bypassable noise gate is a nice addition. I use my precision drive to add a little bit more clarity to my lead sound but even in its lowest setting the gate tends to cut off long sustained notes. You can play around it but having it bypassable adds a nice touch to what i think is another well thought out tone shaping device by these guys.
Marsha Manstains is like the Oprah of noise gates.. you get a noise gate, everything gets a noise gate!
Love it!
I use the Precision Drive in my chain and I love it. Perhaps I will use the Preamp as well. Very cool.
Everyone keeps saying that it's a 5150 OD with a cab sim, but I honestly don't hear it. To my ears the 5150 OD has much more highs than the Apex and the mid control sounds like it effects a completely different frequency.
This pedal sounded absolutely great...until 4:36 when Ola went straight into his audio interface. Sounded like a can of bees :( and this was the way I was going to use the Apex Preamp...
This and the Mooer Radar would work great together and make a great flying rig!
Ola love your pick work - quick and accurate -
Maybe you could do an episode called "will it stick" and try different brands and types of tape 😂😂😂
Not a fan of Periphery at all but I still like the tone and use of gate. Am definitely looking forward to getting this soon for metal in general
It's more awesome when it put in the effects loop damn that tone 🔥🔥
I was so pumped to hear you play 99 in here. :)
Holy Shit. This is perfection. I have just watched a bunch of Drive Videos and this one stands out above the rest.
I love this pedal. This is probably the 5th time i've watched this demo, best one on this pedal.
the tones from this demo are my all time favorites
Your channel is like a drug a keep coming back to ola!!! Thanks a million for the content!!
Music to my ears
Counting down to Misha Mansoor's appearance and confession of his ultimate love.

@OlaEnglund Love your pronunciation of "tight"
I'm not a djent player per se, but this pedal sounds awesome. I dig how the toight mode, when you click it on, is really for rhythm players and different from most OD/pre amp pedals. Well done
Love the string attack this pedal let's through. Perfect death/rhraah metal chopper. Just what I want.
Unfortunately dont love the price tag though.
I just can't get enough of them sick brutal palm mutes, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude your guitar tones are so awesome!!!!!!
Into a clean amp and a real cab -> sounds kinda like something in between a Peavey 6505 and a Revv 100p
Into an interface using the cab sim -> sounds like a Line 6 Spider II on Insane mode
good thing with these djent tones and presets is that they fit instantly in the mix
Hey Ola . so i just got this apex preamp yesterday and i tried it out last night on my Marshall valve state 2000 combo and it sounds really good im loving it !.
The thing about the Percission Drive I never see anyone address is the fact it takes away sooo much of the bottom end, an outrageous amount of bottom end. I have the Misha Variable Attack overdrive by ProTone and it reacts almost the same way, although you can toggle the Attack Frequency on/off with the Variable Attack OD which imo makes it the better boost ;)
One of the best sounding preamp pedals I've heard. Another great demo.
Wow- this sounds as tight as Bon Jovi’s band when they’re warming up! Can’t wait for the tour to start!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Love your content! I can always count on you for straight forward reviews before buying new gear. Thanks brother!
So I'm thinking Horizon are going to have to change the name of the Tight switch to "Toight" now.
(Laughed every freaking time!)
Awesome that you demoed the Precision Drive with the Apex Preamp! Even on it's own the Apex sounds so good, but together they sound so tight! Awesome Job, as usual Ola :)
Great demo, Ola! I want a tremoverb after seeing all these videos.
Damn that is a spot on gojira sounding rig
TOIGHT LIKE TOIGER
Particularly "toït"! It can really chug. Sounds great into the Effects Return too.
This material for your new djent album sounds awesome!
Wow both together sounds sick, wasn’t expecting that
I love love the Tôït mod too ! Love from France !
I was looking review for this.. You are the only one I found first till now.. Pretty dope buddy 🤘
I'm buying one. Love my Precision Drive, but this has even more tonal options.
Holy shit I need this pedal in my life! Thanks Ola for the awesome demo!
When you black and whited the screen at like 4:40 was my fav tone in the whole video.
Apex Preamp sounds AMAZING!!! Kudos to Misha!
Fear Factory was the first thing that came into my mind. GREAT review!
Sounds like pretty much the ideal heavy metal pedal if you have a good amp to play it through. The Direct cabinet emulation sound was...as expected usable, but nowhere near as good sounding as a miced cabinet. I definitely may need to get one of these.
Periphery is my favorite metalcore band.
@2:18 did he just play asome reptile before reptile came out lol
My MXR 5150 Overdrive is still the best overdrive pedal I've ever used/heard
3:20 golden tone right there
I wasn't really loving the sound of this pedal until you plugged it into the FX loop! as soon as you did that it was like night and day to me. sounds damn good .... i really want to try this sucker out now
that super high tec chair has got to be a comfortable hit maker😎
Nice review. That sounded really great through the loop
Impressive pedal
Horizon Devices: Incredible peddles with a clean gain setting, awesome EQ knobs, and easy to use. Only con: they have a habit of falling over, even if secured with tape
I was just about to buy the Precision Drive and saw this video. Now I don‘t know which one to get...
Cool hearing you bust out some 99
i have a Diezel VH4 pedal....will this work together with the Apex?
Great review Ola.🤘🏼
Great preamp
Must buy tremverb....must buy tremverb... Sounds so tasty as does the pedal
Ola, run the cables under the amp carry handle, they will help hold the pedal in place!
This pedal and the same circuit as the MXR EVH 5150. The only difference is the impulse response. If you use the Mxr together with the Moer radar it will be just as good.
The Mario death sound was elite. ☠ ☠ ☠
HEY OLA! Cool to see you at the focusrite event in London on Sat. As entertaining as on here, minus the burps!
Can you perhaps demo this preamp into an audio interface too please? Cheers
Nice one Ola. Great review and you're a crack up
my thought is that you should be on the cover of High Times... maybe even try the Cannabis Cup.
Killer sound! sounds great!
Much beard! Looks good, and great video. Almost didn't believe you had one yet!
That was a very hypnotic guitar play
Wow, that is a awesome tone!
Might buy this for metallica
Funeral Hymn V2 riffs :Psick sounds and the button/toight! and gate are quite epic, good gain too :D
Awesome pedal and great demo thanks dad!
Sounds killer with the drive in front.
Personally i prefer the sound of the tremoverb gain over the preamp pedal. It's still a cool pedal though.
yall listen i just won this in a contest and didnt know what this pedal is so i came here and holy shit am i glad i won it.
That pedal is tight as fuck! It sounds like between Gojira - Kreator, love it! Nice job Misha!
hi ola ,so heavy !!!! i want it !!!!! i love the tight mode ,for sure with this it's easy to make pantera sound ! thanks for the video .
Why don't you just use something like a music sheet stand to hold the pedals? Or do what some other channels do by having a 2nd camera above pointed down for the pedal view so it can lay flat.
I thought the pedal was gonna be my favorite part of the video but it was actually the Mario sound at 6:18. Died right there.
Wow. I read this comment at the exact moment it happened lol
