It's been so nice to see Jen and Ola together. This video made me smile after a hard job day. Thanks to both of you. I will personally buy the Joyo Zombie II before those ones, but it's just my working class man humble opinion.
Have the multiwatt Dual Rec and Joyo Zombie II, man what a steal for somebody on a small budget. There's a girth to the real thing and a bunch of versatility you definitely won't get, and they won't be mistaken for one another by anyone with ears, but as far as the red channel side of things it's about anything a person would really need in a metal band context. You still need a decent cab or an IR you like but you could get by with it. The younger players coming up today are swimming in low cost ways to get a good sound
I just got that same Solar guitar in yesterday. From Spain to the USA in 4 days and somehow came in perfect setup and in tune even sitting in hot UPS warehouses and in a hot UPS truck in 104F outside temps.
@@Lenser I'm very impressed also seeing this was a B stock guitar (A stock wasn't available). Looks, feels, plays and sounds great. I was a little apprehensive with it being Indonesian but I bought an Indonesian Ibanez with the Fishmans that was great out of the box so I went for it. Also was apprehensive about the Floyd 1000 but if it gives me hassle I can switch it out for a better one but so far so good.
Jen and Ola are an absolute mood. I love these two. It's like watching two best friends who've known each other since childhood. I know they aren't, but they seem to have that kind of rapport.
Gotta give credit where it's due, Ola. Your demo setup is always FIRST RATE. Your demos sound better than anybody else's because you've got your microphone game down. Your studio sound is superb. Nobody else doing demos is doing it on your level.
Always waiting for your review of a new product AND always liking the fact that you wait some days to release your video instead of being drown in the sea of videos all released on the same friggin day!
I dig this format of one person playing while the other one dials it in to there personal preference then vice versa. That 2 different takes on piece of equipment.
It doesn’t sound bad at all actually!…with a 4x12 probably even better. I think the Fishmans don’t help it shine because they don’t have the same dynamic/deep low end as passives do (even with the 2nd voicing they sound kind of “flat-ish”). Anyway, nice seeing Jen pop in!
Yay Jen!! I think these mini amps are cool! I wish I had one of these when I was starting out. Makes for a good practice amp, I’ve seen videos of these being played in small venues as well.
Saying "that sucks" to a guitar pick named after yourself is probably the most honest comment I have heard from anybody. I clicked subscribe after that!
My local GC has one of these set up along with the others and they're cool little amps, just don't expect any clean tones. These are almost like big distortion pedals. Even turning the volume down on the guitar and the gain cut way back I still got overdrive. This is metal/hard rock only
I think that’s all they are going for. I have the Bogner model and it cleans up pretty well. The Friedman and SLO sound so similar, and the SLO kinda sounds a bit like the Diezel (which I also have), so I’m good. The Bogner for me is the superior head because it has the most tone tweaking options. But hey, they all give you the big brand flavor and for an attainable price. I wish I had one of these when I was a kid!
They pretty much are big distortion pedals. As far as I've been able find online, the Diezel VH Micro is basically a rehoused version of the Diezel VH4 Preamp pedal, just with a built in power amp.
@@Cookie4yabro That's not the point. This is just one option for certain situations. Of course no one is going to get rid of their rig just to use this. I have a Helix going into a Friedman 50w head. You think I am considering ditching that for this little thing? Come on man, take this video for what it is.
Jen: "Please stop Ola,it's hurting my soul" @8:03 Made very happy to see her levitate into the episode ... there had better be coffee with BrOla or the line 6 spider gets it
Jen n Ola testing sh!t needs to be permanent thing - this video proves it Stop teasing us Ola! Seriously though, this made my day, one of your best yet
I saw an article about Jen not being in Evanescence anymore... knew it was a matter of time before she made an appearance here, lol, she makes me giggle.
I like the way you crank up the gain and riff. I always set my knobs (for the most part) to twelve o clock and use an EQ. Plenty of range between the two, to work on tone. Thanks!
Great review. Would like to see you try the “FX LOOP” on the back of the amp-Wonder how that would have sounded with the Overdrive pedals? Thanks for posting!
I see this reacted to an overdrive the way my actual SLO 100 does. I would always lose bass with a ts style or my precision drive. I would boost it with a keeley compressor and it would get thicker and fuller
I bought it, it is killer. Out of all the minis he really was critical of this being it is the latest mini. Also probably the best. Pretty ironic that Dimebag used solid state amps and he demonizes transistor technology in this video.
Dude...i just got one of your E1.6frlb. With the dime slime-ish finish. I got it in a trade and i am absolutely shocked. I want to start by saying iv owned and then sold/traded a LOT of $1000+ guitars in the past 3 years. I've tried most of the brands and most of the popular models... This guitar punches so astonishingly above its weight. Its shocking imo. I played nothing but 25.5 scale for a while, but realized i only like 25"/24¾" scale when i bought a carvin dc400. Since then I've been selling/trading all my 25.5 guitars. I ended up with a gibson LP faded HP, a bc rich mockingbird legacy ST, a carvin dc400, and a ⅞ warmoth(24¾" scale with 24 frets on a strat body) thats still being made. This guitar plays 100% just as good as those. No BS. I don't think the hype of a brand/model has ever lived up to it like this one...maybe i got a good one or maybe its just to my particular liking(which it is), but the playability, QC, and the pickups are 100% on point. Like I said its astonishing. FucknA man great friggn job. Im feelin that Solar hype. Consider me on the Solar team.
I think the Soldano sounds slightly better than the Diezel (and maybe also the Friedman) you demoed a few months ago. Then again, you're using a different cab and one mic here. Now you only need to get your hands on the Bogner Ecstasy Mini, so we have a complete(ish) picture of those four mini amps. My biggest issue with those amps is the lack of a clean channel. That (and the option to switch the channels with a footswitch) would make them perfect for smaller gigs. Man, Jen is such a delightful presence :D And there's just something about her smile :3
Yes more Jen!!!! Would like to see as much of her on these demos as can be allowed. Amazing player and seems like such a positive individual. 🤘🏾
It's been so nice to see Jen and Ola together. This video made me smile after a hard job day. Thanks to both of you. I will personally buy the Joyo Zombie II before those ones, but it's just my working class man humble opinion.
I have a Zombie II as well and it's a chug machine
I too got the Joyo Zombie II. I highly recommend it for the Chug Life.
Got it as well. It's great! The earphones sound is a disapointment though. Very fizzy.
Zombie is a BEAST!! I also have a jackman II which is based I’m a JCM800.. when boosted sounds RIDICULOUS!!

Didn't see that Jen cameo coming... but loved it!! More Ola and Jen testing shit!!

Which solar is this one? I’ve been eyeing the new red one with Sustainiac. This one looks sweet

@@romanshredz This is the AB1.6AFRQBR
My Solar 1.6 stays in tune for weeks, it’s not even the Evertune model either.
you live in NC don't you xD
Just got one and it is SIIIIICK…. Totally using it as a backup for my main rig!
Perfect timing for inviting jen - i got reminded that i missed seeing her play with evanescence on sunday, because she got kicked out :(
Jen and Ola are an absolute mood. I love these two. It's like watching two best friends who've known each other since childhood. I know they aren't, but they seem to have that kind of rapport.

I literally said "whoa" at the first chug. Cool little amp. That was a wonderful intro for Jen, lol
Always waiting for your review of a new product AND always liking the fact that you wait some days to release your video instead of being drown in the sea of videos all released on the same friggin day!
Picked one of these up last week and they’re awesome! Killer demo.
Very cool Ola you got Jen Majura awesome sounding guitar and amp 🤘🤘
I dig this format of one person playing while the other one dials it in to there personal preference then vice versa. That 2 different takes on piece of equipment.
Awesome to see Jen come on here Ola!
It doesn’t sound bad at all actually!…with a 4x12 probably even better. I think the Fishmans don’t help it shine because they don’t have the same dynamic/deep low end as passives do (even with the 2nd voicing they sound kind of “flat-ish”). Anyway, nice seeing Jen pop in!
Jen has way more time to stalk and hang out with Ola now. Very nice.
Nice to see Jen!!! nice review with both point of views
Love how Jen's shoes and the guitar match
When that overdrive pedal arrived...GAME CHANGER! So happy to see her!
JEN JEN!! What a pleasant surprise!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for granting my request Ola....!!! Loved it...!!! and Jen always super great and fun....!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Yay Jen!! I think these mini amps are cool! I wish I had one of these when I was starting out. Makes for a good practice amp, I’ve seen videos of these being played in small venues as well.
"Where did the bass go?" *Has the attack knob on the precision drive cranked*

Yeah. It’s a Soldano.
I’d much rather keep my Boss Katana and create the same sound with the tone studio

I actually love the thin sound with the Precision Drive.
Would love to hear it in a djent context
Finally she came in man! You two could be totally cool together!
You both knows alot so... -get on with it and make us videos!!
She's got some wicked chops
Jen: "Please stop Ola,it's hurting my soul" @8:03 Made very happy to see her levitate into the episode ... there had better be coffee with BrOla or the line 6 spider gets it
Jen Majura brings me life. ♥️
I enjoyed Ola and Jen!!!! Chug life!
Within 2 seconds it already sounds AMAZING
So awesome to see Jen on the video. I like the Deizel mini amp
Yay Jen is back!🤗
Best. Guest. Ever.
Dude, trap her in your basement, don't ever let her go.
Jen’s cute! Especially with makeup and black leather! Y’alls interaction is awesome!
yay video number 1000 of the slo mini....This is probably the only one that truly matters ❤️
What a nice surprise to see this special guest!
Soldano sound better with vintage 30 speakers also there set for more soloing and note definition . But always enjoy ola !!!!
Jen and Ola, life is good ! 🤘🎸🤘
Hi Jen, So glad to see you there ^^
Cheers from France ;)
Thank you for using the T-75. I love hearing it in demos because so many people have them!
Jen n Ola testing sh!t needs to be permanent thing - this video proves it
Stop teasing us Ola!
Seriously though, this made my day, one of your best yet
JEN!!! Yay!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice shoes, Ms. Majura. Good to see you, as always
jen in tha house! good times. made my day. stay solar everybody
Wow that room now looks amasing !!! It may be the camera angle/lens, but wow !!!
I think you should add an EQ to give you the option to boost the low end. But for the low price, sounds decent. Good to see Jen again. Nice review!
I always enjoy Jen.😊
Jen is reaaaaaaaaally cool ! Mini head always not convince me...But it's cool for the money.
First used Soldano in the late 80's and loved them.
Rolling at 2:38...! Thanks Ola for always entertaining! 🤘🤘🤘
First video where it sounded like the mini SLO didn't need a OD in front in the beginning. Lower the tone knob more. Nice with the TS! 👍
#teamjen ... so happy to see you on this video !
This is thé sweetest overdrive pullling in ive seen
Woah I did not expect Jen Majura!
that is great! seeing jen in your video again!!!!!!!!!
Hi Jen. Good to see you.
Dial in an amp tone and then use an EQ pedal in the effects loop for added tone shaping 🤘🤘
Loved the Jen join...
01:28 Bullet Hole! I love it when you play the Haunted riffs.
Ah good to see Jen!
So this is what Jen was talking about when she mentioned successfully stalking you on Glenn's "Mix Reviews" stream yesterday! Awesome!
First of all - JENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! Hell yes!
Secondly - this amp is pretty dope for the price and what it is. Love your gear demos. No BS.
good to see Ola and Jen on the same video together again \m/\m/ I think we actualy get a pretty honest review with them doing the videos together
Jen! We need more!
Nice to see Jen, super talented and fun.
We love you Jenn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i felt that intro on a spiritual level
Jen is so cool. Love her.
I bet this amp would work well for thrash as long as there is a bassist to play the low end.
Yayyy Jens back. F$#@$ing awesome
Yeah a tower of mini amps
The sound was pretty decent for the money. For at home absolutely awesome!
forget everything! the background is lit!!!
We need more Jen testing Ola !!!
I saw an article about Jen not being in Evanescence anymore... knew it was a matter of time before she made an appearance here, lol, she makes me giggle.
Hi Jen!!! Ive missed seeing you on Ola’s channel.
Jeeeeeeen!? 💜🍻
Amp is thin but the new Solar Gunslinger is BAD ASS. All that talent and PRETTY TOO. Give her a hug for us all, Love you HEN MAJURA.
I like the way you crank up the gain and riff. I always set my knobs (for the most part) to twelve o clock and use an EQ. Plenty of range between the two, to work on tone. Thanks!
JEN!
I can't wait for the upcoming "Coffee with Ola" -episode(s)!!!!
I love how JenJen just appeared here and its like such a normal thing haha wish she was here more often!
Great review. Would like to see you try the “FX LOOP” on the back of the amp-Wonder how that would have sounded with the Overdrive pedals?

almost choked by coffee when seeing sliding, Jen
I bought it, it is killer. Out of all the minis he really was critical of this being it is the latest mini. Also probably the best. Pretty ironic that Dimebag used solid state amps and he demonizes transistor technology in this video.
I've never heard Ola play with anything I consider a good tone.
Yay Jen! Nice surprise!
Sounds awesome! Great playing! Thanks Ola!!

Awesome slo demo. Thank you for sharing your video 👍💙💙
I've seen so many bad sounding demos on these and youtubers would say it sounds good. Today it sounds good and Ola says is shit! :D
Yay Jens back
That was great, nice improv all along... ...Jen can play and tweak those knobs, she's perfect!
Jen is 🔥🔥🔥
I keep fantasising about a Lee Jackson / Metaltronix mini head. One can but dream... Ripping tones as always mate. Carlo 👍🏼🎸
I think the Soldano sounds slightly better than the Diezel (and maybe also the Friedman) you demoed a few months ago. Then again, you're using a different cab and one mic here.

Man, Jen is such a delightful presence :D And there's just something about her smile :3
Jen!
Jen is a great entertainer :)
That's so funny when Jen played this elevator music ... Thank you , made my day :D
