Ola, PLEASE offer this guitar in a 7 string. I love my Ibanez M80M tone-wise, but I don't like the neck width at all with 8 strings. I want to go to a 7 string with roughly the same scale length as the M80M. If you offer this guitar in a 7 string, I promise to buy one. I want to keep my low F#, but with a longer scale 7 string. Plus, I'd love to have it to use on the new Inferion album and upcoming South American tour.
I’ve always had a hard time understanding the Chaosphere tone; is it scooped? Or does it have a lot of mids? It’s honestly so hard to tell because there are ZERO sustained notes or chords on the album. The ENTIRE album. The pre-outro riff from NMCC you played has the longest notes on the whole record!
@@OlaEnglund absolutely. I’m trying to remember if there’s any parts where it’s just guitars playing without bass… I think the ending of Sane might be the only part, but the guitars are swapping off left and right in stereo, so it’s hard to even get a clear image of the tone!
I just wanna add that this album has one of my favorite Meshuggah breaks of all time. That middle sequence of breakdowns in Corridor of Chameleons make my jaw drop to this day, it's just so impossibly groovy and heavy. Filthy.
This guitar tone is one of the most monstrous sounding things ever recorded. I've always considered Chaosphere to be the benchmark for heavy production.
I think what makes Chaosphere really unique is the bass tone. Its pretty odd on that album. I noticed it the other day, I was like fuck, that bass is what really makes this album so unique tone-wise.
Chaosphere is a brilliant album. So heavy and so ahead of its time. Arguably my favourite Meshuggah album. Corridor of Chameleons and Mouth Licking what you've bled are insane heavy!
Meshuggah used the "Integrated Preamp" units a lot back then I believe. The key to all of these is the Baxandall EQ curves, which cause a mid boost when you turn the low shelf down.
Yes this was such an era. Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad did City and Machine Head did Burn My Eyes, such a great time for extreme metal.
This tone is brutal as hell. The guitar as well. :) Really liked in the Meshuggah song that you nailed that high bass sound as well. That's huge part of their sound, even on Contradictions Collapse.
This might be the most brutal tone you've ever set up on this channel, and that's really saying something. That Solar sounds absolutely disgusting, yet so clear 🔥😈
I know Fredrik used an Ibanez Universe that he used on most if not all of their older albums, Contradictions Collapse that I know of for sure. There's a channel on here that has videos of them in the studio going back that far and for every album and ep up until Nothing I believe, and interesting enough on Contradictions Collapse Fredrik and Jens both played guitar and both did the vocals, I guess the None EP is where Jens moved to only vocals and Fredrik moved to only guitar.
Chef's kiss, my guy. I remember when you released a Roadster vid RIGHT after I sold mine to offset the cost of a Mark V:90 and I immediately got seller's remorse. I should've just kept both! Sounds so unbelievably good, including the CLEAN channel (so much dimension to it)!
A 29“ A1 with Evertune bridge from SOLAR? This might be the best news in a long long time. I am definitely going to get one, Ola! Thank you so much for listening to the community. This is awesome. 🤩
It's so all about the scale! I've got 28.3" and 27" for my low tunings( A-a, C-c) and the note separation is incredible. Very piano like when played clean. Another luthier friend of mine said that right around 28" is the sweet spot to still sound like guitars longer tends to sound more like bass.
Dude OLA you always just seem to cover and explain everything I absolutely love about metal just saying thanks for pushing the best metal ever created on your channel your a sic bastard
I loved the video! You should totally try to imitate meshuggah’s tone on the ‘nothing’ and ‘Obzen’ albums. It would be a nice chance to show some 8 strings that solar makes.
@@BillCoz I'll probably choose New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Corridor of Chameleons, The Mouth Licking What You've Bled and Sane. I think, Cyanide Christ is one of the best metal songs ever written: so groovy, so intense and absolutely timeless. The main riff is killer.
Amazing individual note clarity on chords when you clicked on the t.c. unit. Made it much more interesting to listen to. Judging by your reaction, more fun to play as well.
Great video man. What strikes me is, compared to the latest albums where I found the tone to be very "organic", on this album it's such a dry wall in your face.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of dual recs for standard E/drop D, you can't deny they're the perfect amp for longer scale lower tuned guitars. So nasty! Also love me some At the Gates, good shit, Ola.
Ola, what do I need to do to get this guitar in my hands so I can review it on my channel? This is everything a lot of people have been asking for from guitar companies for a LONG time
I have an early 90's ampeg 4x12 guitar cabinet with G12 T-75 speakers and I absolutely LOVE them! they sound so good. I dont know why people shit on them. You just have to dial your amp accordingly. Cabs are like a powerful EQ at the end of our signal chain. T-75s are "a greenback on steroids" according to celestion,
I got a mesa single rec and 2x12 last week and played my ftm33 through my 33 it and it just didn't sound right...dialed my randall facepunch in with it and nailed their sound imo. I was gonna sell that pedal but i can't now. Great video. Hangover cure. I'd love to see a lamb of god and decapitated tone videos. Love ya Ola...
Heck yes! Thank you so much for getting into a true baritone scale length. I will definitely have to look close at buying one of these or perhaps another variation, if you're going to continue down this line 😁
Very cool sound ! I never thought a Mesa could sound so accurate and cold. This guitar looks great, amazing neck ! And the bass sound on this album is perfect. New Cyanide Christ 🤘🤘❤️
the Celestion T75 Marshall cab is actually the key component in the tone. And in any tone of the major metal albums tone. 90% of everything recorded in the 80,90,and 2000s big metal records is the Marshall Celestion T75 cab, nothing sounds like it
@@Xplora213 same here my man, even playing through t75 based IRs get you that instant marshall expensive recording sound. instant morbid angel, instant faith no more, instant sepultura and so on
Ola, have you ever listened to Yob? Doom band from Oregon. Mike plays his guitar in A standard, there were a couple moments when you were dialing in the amp tone that you sounded very similar to him. Totally different style of music than you usually cover but he’s a hell of a player with amazing tone. Loved this video! Cheers.
I feel like I NEEDI IT !! I’m not used to this scale length and this tuning but I had a band where we played drop g# tuning with a 6 strings and I loved it
It’s killer that they had a modern metal tone way back in the mid 90s it turned metal on its head for sure Chaosphere Destroy Erase Improve those are my two go to’s of Meshuggah albums and Carcass Heartwork tone Colin Richardson is a death metal genius I liked what he did for Cannibal Corpse’s Bloodthirst album
Man, that's a sweet guitar! I have a baritone Les Paul and that's about 28 inches, one of my favorite guitars since I got it in 2003. I may have to grab one of these new Solar 29's. Peace yo
Love that tone!!! On The Violent Sleep of Reason they used 7 different amplifiers and cabs with come extra DI stuff and now it is quite possible that they used 5150? But nothing's comfirmed..

Also the bass is constant with the guitar almost all the time. So it’s like one entity rather than 2 guitars and a bass.
@@OlaEnglund absolutely. I’m trying to remember if there’s any parts where it’s just guitars playing without bass… I think the ending of Sane might be the only part, but the guitars are swapping off left and right in stereo, so it’s hard to even get a clear image of the tone!
Hi, Uncle Ben!
What about the intro chords in Neurotica?
They took the Korn tone and put it through a metal zone
I remember watching you open for Meshuggah with the Haunted, what a night.
Ow shit, Okoii is a metalhead! Well being an ogre fan, I guess I could have predicted this... Awesome work so far btw!
@@Kapitein-gt9yj based ogre enjoyer
And nmemic
Chaosphere is by far my favorite Meshuggah album. Such great songs and grooves
And a HUGE, brutal bass sound!
I just wanna add that this album has one of my favorite Meshuggah breaks of all time. That middle sequence of breakdowns in Corridor of Chameleons make my jaw drop to this day, it's just so impossibly groovy and heavy. Filthy.
Corridor of Charmeleons is tha shit! If i had to make a list of the heaviest metal tracks ever it would be at least in the top5.
absoluteeely! the interplay between Jens and the band at the end is fantabulous! 😤😤😤
So ahead of its time it’s crazy
Finally someone talks about CoC, that song is killer
The breakdown with the panic chords in it 😍😍😍
This guitar tone is one of the most monstrous sounding things ever recorded. I've always considered Chaosphere to be the benchmark for heavy production.

Absolutely bro! I noticed that a few years ago and from that moment I'm always focusing on the bass aaahaahah
@@jim3541 he tunes down to Eb0 for the new album I think, absolutely fucking wild
No, he’s still playing in the same octave as the guitars. He just bragged about playing very thick strings this album.
CHAOSPHERE: most brutal bass tone of the entire Meshuggah's discography, if not the best...the LOUDEST!
The bass tone on destroy erase improve is so insane.

Chaosphere is one of my favorite metal albums of all time, just made a post on IG recommending it yesterday! so glad you made a video on it! \m/
I can't wait to see more 29' Solars! A single pickup, all-blacked out 7 string version to mimic the M80 models? Yes please. Instant buy.
Yes if they made a 29 in 7 I’d buy it right now!
If they made a 7 in 27 or 28 inch I'd buy. 29 and I'd nut, 29 5/8 I'll nut through the center of the earth.
even a 27in 7string would be awesome!
Just use this 6 string Solar, get the 8 string set and just don't use the 1st and 2nd strings. M80M without the top lighter strings. You're welcome.
@@metabel the 8 string strings will not fit the 6 string hole I’ve tried this before
THAT was some sick stuff. Chaosphere and Destroy, Erase, Improve along with the 90s Fear Factory albums were my absolute jam. Great, heavy stuff.
Yes this was such an era. Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad did City and Machine Head did Burn My Eyes, such a great time for extreme metal.
@@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL thanks for reminding me of the disgustingly angry masterpiece that is City. One of the angriest albums ever
You have to release an album with this exact rig...sounds brutal
I approve this message. Let's make it happen!
Yes!
Yes, 100%
Blasting!
Oh lord this tone is absolutely glorious
Chaosphere is so mean sounding all around, especially Jens Kidman's vocals, and the guitars were nasty af..
The album had a badass bass sound too.
in my opinion, the best Meshuggah album. so aggressive in every sense
This tone is brutal as hell. The guitar as well. :) Really liked in the Meshuggah song that you nailed that high bass sound as well. That's huge part of their sound, even on Contradictions Collapse.

Awesome. That TC Electronics line booster rules. ive been using it for at least 15 years and can't live without it now.
Probably my favorite Meshuggah album, although I love Destroy/erase just as much. Those albums rip!
5:16 is hilarious, that sound got us on that one Ola. Love the content as usual!! 🤘🏻😤🤘🏻
I'd have to agree with you Ola, that album had the most amazing guitar tone.
Your song @ 10:10 made my life worth living Ola 🦩
Have a good weekend everyone, I remember when bleed came out, let alone this album. Damn man what a ride
my favourite album ever! i hope im able to one day replicate the tone of this album, its just so brutal
Me:
Ola: *plays At The Gates*
Me: *slams like button*
The second I heard it in Drop G, my jaw dropped on the floor; nothing but pure aggression!
My favorite Meshuggah album! Thanks Ola!🤘
What is your favorite song?
Mine is probably Sane or Elastic or Concatenation, shit I can't pick one.
@@BillCoz I'll probably choose New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Corridor of Chameleons, The Mouth Licking What You've Bled and Sane. I think, Cyanide Christ is one of the best metal songs ever written: so groovy, so intense and absolutely timeless. The main riff is killer.
@@FrolDissonator yeah the lyrics to new millennium are really good too.

The one that got me into Meshuggah too. Here's where their signature sound is first heard. Gotta love it.
Great video man. What strikes me is, compared to the latest albums where I found the tone to be very "organic", on this album it's such a dry wall in your face.
There was an interview with Kent couple years ago, rig down. He said Fredrik was using live Chaosphere IR from recording session.
Chaosphere is so heavy. Ola playing all the groovy riffs, just like every other time.
Paired with "The One" IR, it is the best tone I've have gotten since I've started using amp sims, thanks man
29” solar!! Someone needs to get The Bunn in on this
My favourite Meshuggah album. Bass tone is the gold standard for me.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of dual recs for standard E/drop D, you can't deny they're the perfect amp for longer scale lower tuned guitars. So nasty!
Also love me some At the Gates, good shit, Ola.

very glad to see this in my sub box
Great tone!
You even managed to sneak in a little Paw Patrol, great work! Solid 6/10!
