Some day Ola will be given a damn Nobel Price in Physics for the invention of the chug meter. For the first time in history, mankind is able to determine seriously if somethings chugs. A true breakthrough 🤩
Ola, I recently played a Boss Blues Driver and was utterly floored by how CLEAN and BRUTAL this thing was. You should try it out in this series, I think you would have a lot of fun with the pedal! It got HEAVIER than the MXR Fullbore I've got, without that horrible can of bees sound
Positive criticism from a fan but also an audio technologist ; if I’m not wrong it seems like it’s an SPL based device. Also if I’m correct I believe it seems to be simply reading the full frequency spectrum as most units designed to read spl do. If this is the case, that would explain the reactivity of the meter was indicating to me it was tied to volume, most likely calibrated around 1khz as per industry norm. If you had turned up The volume knob on the boss pedal it would have chugged. The Chug pedal hit higher on the meter because the SPL in the room was significantly higher. If you want to actually make it more of a ‘chug meter’ put a LPF in line with the input signal, adjusted for say… 600hz and below… to at least measure the thump of the chugs. Hopefully that all makes sense. With the filtered input now active, use a known rig that chugs, dial it in for a ‘good chug tone / volume in the room’, then calibrate the spl meter ‘chug meter’ to that. From there on, anytime you have another rig you want to see, will it chug, you can see if it makes it to the previous calibration mark. It’s a bit wonky of a ‘test’ but at least it would be a better meter for your use. Another solution, different but reasonable, is to maybe use the output of the microphone to pipe to a DAW plugin that displays the signal as a visual EQ / real time analyzer, and then take that EQ curve displayed in the RTA and compare it against a previous known good chug. To rephrase, use the mic to determine an average EQ curve across the full frequency for a known good chug using an RTA plugin or a EQ plugin that displays an RTA display. If an eq curve for the known good chug matches at all to the ‘chug’ currently being tested (by comparing the graphs/RTA signals) you could consider that to be a way to test chugs using graphs and meters. Long time fan and Solar guitar using chugger. Thanks for the content Ola. Hope this made sense or was at least clear as mud.
Very chuggable sir, hope mr chuggles is ok by the way. Very cool video. There is no way to deny it's chugging now, the meter doesn't lie. Ola the chugger.
I definitely feel like a Chug Meter should be commercially available! Perhaps a bit scaled down, that is pretty large but other than that I think you’d have a real winner here Ola!
You have to be such a smart dude to keep this show chugging proud of you and what you have made if this show and your life.Lots of love from london ont canada❤❤❤
Adventures with Ola: Will it chug edition! Take the chuggometer to various events/ coffee shops/ public restrooms, to find the chug in everyday life. I would find that very uplifting and joyous!
Hey Ola, I really like your videos but regarding this one it would be much better if you will not make a trick with comparing sound of neck single-coil on SOD with bridge pickup on Chug pedal 😜 I believe that it would make the difference anyway but will not be such much visible on chug meter which is great tool🤟🏻 Nevertheless you make an awesome job - let’s chug the world 🤘👹!
Wow! The chug meter is a fantastic idea man! Still, to what criteria the chugging is measured....?! Chug levels...? Cannot simply be decibels... But it probably is mysterious stuff, some sort of sonic alchemy....
I had a thought. Make an amp with the chug meter LED's incorporated on the front. Three channels. Clean, dirty, and chug. Of course the chug channel gets a chug gain knob special for it. Doesn't go to 11, goes to chug !
Excellent concept you thought of there Ola! Is there a "Chug" Meter for sale option. I know many of us would love to get one ourselves, I would like to buy one. Thanx and looking forward for more "Chug" reviews.
BrOla you are amazing. I fucking love it! The chug meter is great and takes out all the guess work. Now no one has to worry if your biased(pun intended) in your reviews 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there is any pedal I would recommend it would be the digitech TL-2 hardwire metal distortion pedal. I stand by it. It’s it’s got crazy range of sound for many styles of chugging
Ola you should make some videos of songs from viewers using the chug meter... it could be helpful for some people to know if they need to work on their chugs.
So it’s a signal meter? Or it actually detects how compressed a signal is? Checks the EQ? We need to know what kind of magic was used in the chug meter.
As a semi retired sound engineer, this my statement. This piece of equipment should be a pre requirement for any FOH rack. So, on the sound check if the guitars don't chug, they ca not play. Le5s make this law...(and loads of dosh for Ola)
I'm wondering what exactly it's measuring. It doesn't seem like a dB meter exactly, as both examples were around the same volume (could be adjusted in post, so I could be wrong). Is it measuring the amount of upper harmonic content as a result of the distortion, so as the level of saturation rises, the meter goes up as well?

I feel like I want the chug meter the most. I didn't know I was missing this in my life until now.
Me trying to figure out how it works
I too need this in my life, where can we get a Chug Meter? Take my money. LOL
Agreed! I want both now, a chug meter and a chug pedal as reference to calibrate the chug meter.
I want a chug meter!
+1 , i need this....!!!!
The Chug Meter needs to be mass produced
Especially for deaf people.
In a portable form it would be awesome
@@hinjurock70 PAAAARRRDON?
@@jimsound7888 I guess, some times visual aid is nice if you're hearing impaired and just want to chug..
@@karstenhammerhansen PARDON? one, two.....one, two 😜😜
Finally, a properly scientific way to measure chugs.
This is nothing short of absolutely amazing.
We just witnessed history folks
CHUG METER BABY! And yes of course it's a gimmick :D
Lol you got to tell us how it actually works. Or is it just a db meter? Or did somebody actually make a meter that can decipher tone lol?
**Looks up the Chug meter on the Solar store**
Maybe but if there was a gimmick meter it would definitely be in the red
@@AlexanderXtcSlayin Probably doing an FFT frequency analysis and deciding the amount of chug based on the overtone content.
Its likely to do with geo synchronies orbit , rocket surgery and molecular structures we wouldn’t understand.
The next logical step in the Chug™ line. Eagerly awaiting the Chug™ 4x12 cabinet fitted with 30 watt Chugbacks™ 🤘🤘
Chug Meter should be standard in every guitar store!
We need a rack mount version!
And VST Plugin as well
And a headstock clip-on version for the mass
And pedal version that mutes the signal if it's not properly chugging.
This is the best marketing ola can ever do for the chug pedal, he scientifically proved that it delivers
Second day playing with my chug pedal! Does what my Marshall can"t. Tight gain for lower tunings is exatly what I needed. Thanks Ola!
Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap: _"it goes to 11"_
Ola Englund: _"this one CHUGS" _*_*CLAP*_*_ _*_"HELLO!"_*
A totally new genre has been established today with a physical equipment. Hail to Chugs
I love how you leave some of your outtakes in. Fucking gets me every time.
I love that you've hijacked April Fools, and now it lives in Mid-November. Bringing smiles to our young winter faces!

Ola you are a ray of metal sunshine brother 🤘🏼
His channel is always improving. Respect.
Hell I thought you were about to release a tuner with the chug but this is super cool too. Cheers from Texas
now THAT would be one ABSOLUTE UNIT of a tuner, but I'm absolutely here for it
This Chugmeter has to be in your futher gigs. Looks Awesome!
That chug meter looks official AF 🤘
Cool idea Ola!! CHUG METER!!! I also need a CHUG METER IN MY LIFE!! You should sell these bad boys Ola!
Doctor Ola
🤟
Very chuggable sir, hope mr chuggles is ok by the way. Very cool video. There is no way to deny it's chugging now, the meter doesn't lie. Ola the chugger.
I definitely feel like a Chug Meter should be commercially available! Perhaps a bit scaled down, that is pretty large but other than that I think you’d have a real winner here Ola!
That was awesome Ola, that Chug meter was awesome 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I Loveee the Solar guitars with dark roasted necks.Just Beautiful!!!
every band needs a CHUG METER on stage left and right, wahahaha! love it !
I'd be into a "Chug Meter" sticker if they became available?
I love how the peaks hang around for a bit 👌
Cool chug meter🤘Have a nice day🎸
That's awesome. The pedals a bit out of my budget right now, but I dig it and it's definitely on my list.
This is ridiculously amazing
..and funny!!!!
Ola is a trailblazer in chug. He is light years ahead of us and we are all hanging back in clean rock.
Good evening Mr. Englund. I think it would be amazing if you try to recreate the Darrell's tone using the CHUG PEDAL. You're the best!
You have to be such a smart dude to keep this show chugging proud of you and what you have made if this show and your life.Lots of love from london ont canada❤❤❤
This is another level, A new level!
Adventures with Ola: Will it chug edition! Take the chuggometer to various events/ coffee shops/ public restrooms, to find the chug in everyday life. I would find that very uplifting and joyous!
Awesome coolness gear idea that Chug'O'Meter!
Haha wow! We all felt the need for a chuggometer. Where to find it? U're a f**kin genius! 👍🤘🤘🤘
Sir Ola definetly CHUGS! Cheers from Finland!
Yes!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼now I want that meter!!!
i want a chug meter now, thanks Ola
Holy smokes Ola!! Even my smartphone started chugging!!
Den mätaren kan vara något av det bästa jag sett på länge :D
He’s right! It’s chugs as indicated on the meter! 😮
Plenty of humor, heavy chungs and an elden ring shirt - this video deserved all my attention 😎
Hey Ola, I really like your videos but regarding this one it would be much better if you will not make a trick with comparing sound of neck single-coil on SOD with bridge pickup on Chug pedal 😜 I believe that it would make the difference anyway but will not be such much visible on chug meter which is great tool🤟🏻
Nevertheless you make an awesome job - let’s chug the world 🤘👹!
Thats badass.
I absolutely LOVE IT!!!
Chug meter? Ola you're a legend !
Awesome stuff brother!
Where can we purchase said Chug Meter? Or is it simply a transparent sticker you put over a decibel meter?
Ola! Make the Chug meter smaller and run that production!!
Baller money, easy
Wow! The chug meter is a fantastic idea man! Still, to what criteria the chugging is measured....?! Chug levels...? Cannot simply be decibels... But it probably is mysterious stuff, some sort of sonic alchemy....
Gain/distortion level, dude.
I had a thought. Make an amp with the chug meter LED's incorporated on the front. Three channels. Clean, dirty, and chug. Of course the chug channel gets a chug gain knob special for it. Doesn't go to 11, goes to chug !
EVERYONE Needs this! Wickedness!
This is easily the best F'N thing ever. I absolutely love every F'N thing about this!
Haha!
Soo F'N awesome!
Bravo Ola!!
LMAO!
3:30 holy shit that tone is brutal, need it asap!!!
Excellent concept you thought of there Ola! Is there a "Chug" Meter for sale option. I know many of us would love to get one ourselves, I would like to buy one. Thanx and looking forward for more "Chug" reviews.
BrOla you are amazing. I fucking love it! The chug meter is great and takes out all the guess work. Now no one has to worry if your biased(pun intended) in your reviews 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just don't call him chOla 😎
Hell yeah! will it chug is gonna get a shit ton more fun
AWESOME!!!!
Yeah sure
This is far beyond anything anyone can wish for 😃🤘🤘
If there is any pedal I would recommend it would be the digitech TL-2 hardwire metal distortion pedal. I stand by it. It’s it’s got crazy range of sound for many styles of chugging
@Ola......hey mate,you should print a T-shirt with the Chugometer in the red with the little Mr Chug standing on top of it 🤘🤘🤘🤘😜
I love the sound when it chugs
Cool 🤘🔥🤘 I need one… not sure if my Wampler Tumnus chugs 🤔
nice touch with the s2000 gauge cluster
Chug Machine!!! That's it 🤘🤘🤘
There is one amp that I would really like to see in your will-it-chug series, that is the Cornford MK50...
Amazing.
Lil chuggy guy🎸brilliant!
That was mind blowing
Ola you should make some videos of songs from viewers using the chug meter... it could be helpful for some people to know if they need to work on their chugs.
That's pretty cool what a great idea I love your chug pedal by the way keep up the good work 👍🎸🤘🍺
So it’s a signal meter? Or it actually detects how compressed a signal is? Checks the EQ? We need to know what kind of magic was used in the chug meter.
I would say it's a gain/distortion meter that detects the level of gain in the signal.
Hey Ola, that chug meter is perfect, but when will it become available for sale?
That looks like my tuner!
There’s an -O- missing!
Very 80’s
The Chug-O-Meter
Awesome
Super Overdrive is good for blues! Mixed with Metal Zone its a good fuzz! It’s nice to use with your amps distortion!
It actually sounds better than the Ibanez tube screamer.
Our human ears are too unreliable to distinguish a chug from a non-chug. It feels good to finally have real, scientific proof of a chug.
😎
I NEED the schematics for the Chug Meter, PLEASE!
You’d sell the hell outta the chug meter.
When will the chug-meter be available 😊?
That chug meter is awesome where can I get 1!!
It is an amazing appliance of an audio spectrum analyzer. Are there is been plans to sell it? I would love to have one
The chugometers got a nice ring to it
As a semi retired sound engineer, this my statement. This piece of equipment should be a pre requirement for any FOH rack. So, on the sound check if the guitars don't chug, they ca not play. Le5s make this law...(and loads of dosh for Ola)
Other than your signature chug pedal what pedal have you been most impressed with for chug ability. My favorite is the ksr ceres
Yes Chug Meter Where ???? A Got To Have !!!!
Please manufacture the chug meter. I need one of these in my life.
The CHUG meter piqued my interest befre the video even got started. 🤣🤔 The world needs the CHUG meter!
3:48 This riff is totally Pantera. 🤘🏻
Chug meter is pretty cool..
So this is what happiness is about !!!
I'm wondering what exactly it's measuring. It doesn't seem like a dB meter exactly, as both examples were around the same volume (could be adjusted in post, so I could be wrong). Is it measuring the amount of upper harmonic content as a result of the distortion, so as the level of saturation rises, the meter goes up as well?
This thing is specialized to Solar
Wow! Science-based chugging, that's unreal.
