Really impressive little practice amp actually! Technology is crazy now. (Insert older guy comment) Wish I had these kinda things when I was a kid! No excuses to practice with great tone for reasonable prices
Karl Golden when I was a lad you had to walk 5 miles barefoot while carrying your granny to play a amp made of sticks and mud powered by steam. But really.. I’m a older fellow and guitar technology is pretty amazing. I have a couple of micro amps and this is on another level.
I bought a Marshall mini full stack about 7 years ago, each cab has 1 12 and they stack 2 high plus the head, it's about 4 ft tall all together, I bought it just to practice with and ended up falling in love with it, clean and distortion sounded good, and also sounds great with any pedal, I'll love that amp forever
I bought this amp purely because of this video... I am EXTREMELY impresssed, for such a smol amp it’s incredibly loud and soooo versatile. The built in drum loops/metronome have helped greatly in tightening up my playing and improvising. Thank you Ola, my lord and saviour P.S Can definitely say I see a Solar in my near future!
Holy shit! i was looking for a small amp but i was convinced the orange crush mini or blackstar were close enough for me but this tops everyone. Everything of this amp sounds so clean and well saturated.
crazy, the amount of convenient things that are becoming avaliable with the advances in technology. this is killer for a beginner, especially for the price.
Beginner or just anyone who wants to take a amp with them everywhere. I'm not a "beginner" but I would love one of these guys to carry with me into the band room in school or something during break
Sup Ola. I'm one of your biggest fans. I actually have this amp. (Got it as a gift) Got a killer tone out of it. I use a MXR Fullbore Metal straight into the amp. Added a bit of Delay and BOOM! But I'm gonna do some recording on it later in the future, Keep on shredding Ola.
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, so many convenient features. This company also makes the Nux Loop Core which is a killer loop pedal, I have one and it has been one of the best pedals I have ever bought just because of the feature to save the loops.
This little guy was so good I bought my buddy one so he can practice all the death and cob backing tracks i got, also that dude is a riff machine so he makes good use of the drum machine
Own one of these amps. Keeps my neighbors from beating me to death with ball bats. Does it chug? Maybe no. But anything that lets me play. Has effects and kicks this much ass is worth the price. Rock on Ola. Rock on.
Dude! This is by far my favorite video. You playing to the drum tracks is great. I came here to see if it should buy that very same set up. It looks like the answer is yes. Thanks
It’s sound is a little tinny, but still- it’s a tiny little amp with ALL that stuff packed in it- I’d probably go for this over a Boss Katana, in fact! This is the perfect PRACTICE amp! It’s MEANT for practice- coolest little thing ever. And the sound isn’t bad! You wouldn’t want to record with it but it sounds bad ass enough for practice
@@DeadRoman shame that Celestion doesn't make 3 inch speakers ! Seriously , that little amp sounds decent. Great little practice amp with effects and drums ?? Wish i had this when i was a beginner.
Ola, you should show even more of these little amps. I just got the NUX Mighty Air and it's amazing. I know it is pretty close if not the same tone-wise to the Lite BT, but it has the build in battery and is completely wireless. Many of these small toy looking things are actually so good. I'd like to hear your opinion on your favorite Katana vs all the rest.
Very similar the the black star fly 3. Really glad someone finally put a metronome on a practice amp, only thing it's missing is a tuner. Why aren't there any practice amps with a metronome and tuner built in? Orange has a tuner but no metronome... maybe someday
Okay, that thing at the end of a synth/signal chain with a mic into a DAW might actually make some really sick sounds. As both a gadget and practice amp that could be used a few interesting ways.
Sooo.... they've kind of reverse-engineered the Blackstar FLY3 and added some features. Hey, I ain't complaining, just those added features alone kinda make it better.
Thanks, Ola. Your reviews are very useful. I remember when Frank Zappa would walk onstage with his tiny Pignose amp, mic it up, then blow minds. Now I look at my $4000 in FX pedals on my new $1350 Schmidt Array pedalboard and wonder if I really had to spend that much money to get the right tone and FX. Well, yes, I did have to. It sounds f-ing awesome! Still, nice little practice amp.
Bruh, this is now available in Lazada and Shopee for around 4k PhP. I just bought one and just waiting for it to arrive. You might wanna consider buying it!
So which do you prefer the Nux or the Boss katana mini amp that you reviewed about a year earlier ? I'm basically just looking for a mini amp to sit by the couch so I can noodle around in my living room watching TV instead of going to my big amp. Which would you recommend more for something like that ? I just found your vids, very entertaining, thanks for any imput.
Very good review and definitely a very good instrument....kindly tell me if it's good for vocals and singing ...and does it have an auxiliary out for output to a computer or a recording device for audio recordings?
think it would be more interesting to know how this sounded without post processing.. still really cool, honestly impressed how many things you can do with it.
When you started playing with pantera I was sold that thing is pretty sick, I’ve been looking for a little amp I can use to warm up with before a show out in my car
if "what can I fit in my pocket" doesn't become a new series im gonna be upset. On a serious note though with these smaller amps could you get your DB monitor in the videos too, so we can see what kind of levels to expect?
My Nu-X is soon to arrive.. 🤗 I'm going to piggyback this into my blackstar fly 3 & pump It up to a 6 Watt linear stereo unit..!!! Mini stack .. Oh hell yeah..!!! Love the fly 3 but the Nu-x with its effects... plus the drum machine...Oh & I bought for the Nu-X wireless B2... Forget About it.!!! $200.00 for both. Fuck Yea brother.!!! Best camping rig- play on the beach amp ever.🤘
i have a blackstar with BT and i have the extension cab.... funny thing i am a bassist ....i use it more as a bt music box!!!! but having a mini amp is awesome i do have a knockoff SG for fiddling so it comes in handy over my peavy mini mega bass amp :P
Did I just invent a new genre? Conga-Black-Metal... PATENT PENDING!
Ola Englund KVLT Razor Blade Thrash against a Cookie Tray
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Hey ola nice demo.. Lmaoo i laugh hard wen u put in your pocket lol
Haha I think that you need to do a whole song in that new genre!!
Sepultura meets Varg Vikernes xD
Lots of space in that front pocket Ola!
Yeah, that's not something to be proud of probably.
I am seeing a lot of interest on your side.
I definitely couldn't fit it in my front pocket because my penis is huge unlike Ola's which is probably the size of a chipolata
Really impressive little practice amp actually! Technology is crazy now. (Insert older guy comment) Wish I had these kinda things when I was a kid! No excuses to practice with great tone for reasonable prices
Usually old guy comments are negative. So good on ya mate for spinning some positivity.
No kidding. All I had was an MXR Distortion+ for many years.
preamps and cab sims are getting smaller.
Wouldn't expect you here Karl!

Does anyone else love how good small speakers have become compared to 10 years ago?
I got an irig nano amp. Love that thing with Tonebridge app
Ruben Nunez check out ToneStack, my new fav amp sim.

6:44 sounds like something out of Sepultura's Roots album
same thoughts on that!
That's really similar sounding!!!
Hehehe🤘
haha that's what I said
Thank you Ola for inspiring me to practice more, even though I can't play the guitar and I don't own one.
Then get with the program! You can start playing Snoop Dog or LiL' Wayne songs on the guitar
Every video I watch I keep thinking I need a Solar guitar. You're channel is awesome. Thanks man! Keep up the good work!
I bought this amp purely because of this video...

hey man can you play ur own backing track from ur phone via aux or bluetooth?
@@sohibconner6926 yes ofc its can
6:26 Ola's face almost killed me 😂😂
Happy metal bruh
Hahahahah 😂

crazy, the amount of convenient things that are becoming avaliable with the advances in technology. this is killer for a beginner, especially for the price.
The smaller Blackstar ID amps are pretty good for the price as well... Technology is insane nowadays !
Why is it for beginners just because it's small?
Beginner or just anyone who wants to take a amp with them everywhere. I'm not a "beginner" but I would love one of these guys to carry with me into the band room in school or something during break
I was gifted the Nux wireless instrument system this year and it works great. I love it. Its so compact and simple.
Great video Ola. 6:46 sounds amazing the riff with that beat, remembers Sepultura!
Sup Ola. I'm one of your biggest fans. I actually have this amp. (Got it as a gift) Got a killer tone out of it. I use a MXR Fullbore Metal straight into the amp. Added a bit of Delay and BOOM! But I'm gonna do some recording on it later in the future, Keep on shredding Ola.
7:50 need that backing track
Need that, too, lol...
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, so many convenient features. This company also makes the Nux Loop Core which is a killer loop pedal, I have one and it has been one of the best pedals I have ever bought just because of the feature to save the loops.
Pretty tight punch for small thing. Thanks for testing this. I think I will have to get myself one to jam out on my patio
This little guy was so good I bought my buddy one so he can practice all the death and cob backing tracks i got, also that dude is a riff machine so he makes good use of the drum machine
8:08 perfect timing xD
8:30 Heresy, FCK YEAAAAH!!!! Btw is there a bad Pantera riff? I don't think so...
what the title of the song?
@@daniellegeorgia5797 Pantera - Heresy
Anddddddddd.........demonetized! ;)
Just bought this thing and I have decided fully after playing with it...... No boss multi effects petal baby this does everything.
Thangs Ola, Ive just bought this bad boy and you’ve helped a lot (I’m a beginner) in understanding how it works.
Sounds pretty good actually! Insane that there's so many settings on such a small amp :)
I’m sitting down with my guitar and i open this video and you’re playing the same exact one. Perfect
Own one of these amps. Keeps my neighbors from beating me to death with ball bats. Does it chug? Maybe no. But anything that lets me play. Has effects and kicks this much ass is worth the price.
Rock on Ola. Rock on.
This amp sounds really awesome for a small speaker... I'm impressed.
Just opened this for Xmas from the wife.
Dropping hints and leaving the laptop open in the NUX website worked...
Dude!
This is by far my favorite video. You playing to the drum tracks is great.
I came here to see if it should buy that very same set up. It looks like the answer is yes.
Thanks
I remember years ago suggesting a yellow guitar and you saying it's just not your color. Glad you changed that. Thank you
Line 6: this is how you compete with the Katana.
Line 6?
Line 6 is Yamaha!!!!
@@sohibconner6926 ok they bought line 6
@@georgekarson6599 wasnt the line 6 a yamaha brand since the begining
The Katana is made by Boss.
It sounds so crisp man, no regrets buying this damned amp off a review from one and only Ola Englund
This should be the next offering on "Will it Chug?" For what it is, that little amp sounds killer!! \,,/ \,,/
Man, this is better than actual TV. Watching some long haired dude bang his head to a drum machine micro amp jamming! Rock on.
It’s sound is a little tinny, but still- it’s a tiny little amp with ALL that stuff packed in it- I’d probably go for this over a Boss Katana, in fact! This is the perfect PRACTICE amp!
It’s MEANT for practice- coolest little thing ever. And the sound isn’t bad! You wouldn’t want to record with it but it sounds bad ass enough for practice
Probably change the little speaker for a better sound no prollem.
@@DeadRoman shame that Celestion doesn't make 3 inch speakers ! Seriously , that little amp sounds decent. Great little practice amp with effects and drums ?? Wish i had this when i was a beginner.
It doesn't through the headphone jack trust me
"don't act like you're not impressed", holy shit, I laughed so hard after that my cheeks hurt, thanks for the review and the laugh ! ! !

both!

@@guitaristssuck8979 lol
6.44 we need Ola playing more Black Caribbean Rum Metal.
On another note, I know Anselmo worked in Reznors studio on southern trendkill but did Reznor actually work with Pantera writing material?
i think i like this more then the blackstar one it sounds sick
I really like this amp . I just wish it had a built in tuner like some of the other micro amplifiers
It does not have a tuner within the smartphone app?
@@francisfabian242 That's nice but I wish the turner came built into the amplifier itself
Bad ass little amp I might have to order one. Thanks ola!!!
haven't tried the old one but the newer nux lite MKII version has some epic tone for such a tiny amp. actually prefer it over the spark mini
Your expression of surprise are totally priceless! 😃😃😃😃😃
Awesome man!!! I loved this mark Nux!!
Okay, that thing at the end of a synth/signal chain with a mic into a DAW might actually make some really sick sounds. As both a gadget and practice amp that could be used a few interesting ways.
I'm just sitting here, waiting with my money for the non black friday 17th of november.
when I heard that drum at the beginning I thought you were going to play Ea lord of the depths by Burzum haha
4:27 was that Tool?
I didn't expect it to sound like that! I'm blown away!
Dude, put a FR on that guitar, and i'm sold!
And thus, metal porn was born
I’ll take it!!!!! It really is a great little amp. I think it may be time to order another Solar guitar, that color is amazing.
Hey how you are after 3 years? Did you buy the guitar?
Is this going to replace your Boss Katana Mini?
I don't think so
Absolutely I think, more options here
@@daniellongo7873 NUX's app and bluetooth vs. Boss' three-band equalizer and 7 watts. I'd stick with the Katana.
Nope
They are so cheap get one of each.
For traveling, i think i need that amp considering the size and all the features. Thank u and keep it up master Ola lml!
Wow the sound is really impressive
lol. I love all of these high powered, tiny amplifiers. I wish they were around when I was a kid.
Bring it with you Ola tomorrow in your kitchen for breakfast and try if it can make a good coffee, and... why not... a cover :D
Wow Ola, you had a lot of free space in there.
Wow! Do a full mix with it !!!
Sooo.... they've kind of reverse-engineered the Blackstar FLY3 and added some features.
Hey, I ain't complaining, just those added features alone kinda make it better.
i thought metal guys are serious, this dude make me laugh every time i watch his videos😂😂😂
Thanks, Ola. Your reviews are very useful. I remember when Frank Zappa would walk onstage with his tiny Pignose amp, mic it up, then blow minds.

For it to be what it is. Dang it sounds great!
Is this better than the black Star fly 3?
When you play over the drums with symbals sounds like Sepultura XD
2:11 Partterns in the ivy by Opeth ???!!
Like how these new little amps come with the wireless plugins. Lot of options for such a small package.. lol.drums are kinda funny..
damn!! hope this is available in my country (philippines) good companion for practice session.

Fuck yeah heresy!! Probably the most underrated pantera song of all time imo
Hey Ola. How about a video about improving picking technique? I feel that your advice and instruction would he invaluable. Thanks man!
Sounds pretty good for what it is, how do you think bass would sound through it?
So which do you prefer the Nux or the Boss katana mini amp that you reviewed about a year earlier ?

Which would you recommend more for something like that ? I just found your vids, very entertaining, thanks for any imput.
Sounds surprisingly good considering the size
Fly 3 or nux ?
It comes with talent or just the amp?
Very good review and definitely a very good instrument....kindly tell me if it's good for vocals and singing ...and does it have an auxiliary out for output to a computer or a recording device for audio recordings?
Not bad at all for an amplifier that small. Very funny demo😂😂😂😂
Fun thing. Does it withstand a drive pedal straight in the face? Is it watertight. Where do the djents go when you cross your legs like that?
Dose it fit in Anygig guitar bag with guitar together ?
That will be really metaltogo!
And STILL better than Line6 spider!
I think Ola had more fun with the little drum fx than anything else, lol.
Ahhh!! Yess, finally!! ...Something that even you couldn't make sound good. I thank you. :D
think it would be more interesting to know how this sounded without post processing.. still really cool, honestly impressed how many things you can do with it.
Well only post processing used was a multi band compressor to tame some 5k and 120hz
...well damn. now im impressed.
When you started playing with pantera I was sold that thing is pretty sick, I’ve been looking for a little amp I can use to warm up with before a show out in my car
