- Will it Chug? Stupid question, of course it does. Why would you name something Metalcore if that wasn't the case.

#boss #metalcore #willitchug
I challenge you Ola!
Will it chug - Acoustic Simulator (Boss AC-3)
Nice 😂
Agreed.
Chug yeah!!
Do it
AGREE😂 Good luck Ola!
Will it Chug? Also do I look very pale in this video? Also maybe for the next video I should tune the guitar.
A bit. Get some sun. And lay off the cat's!
Finally looking like a real swede.
Tuning is optional.
One could crank the treble on this pedal if you turn the level control down. Gives it a kinda scratchy soild state distortion channel vibe.
It's just color correction. I noticed that the color changes in some areas, so maybe the camera is at fault.
The Coffee goes into my mouth and then the coffee goes into my belly. Only way to set up a signal chain
The only part I didn't understand was how the coffee suddenly got from his belly to the cab...
Don't tell me that there is only one "correct" order in which to set up a digestive tract!
It's a corny joke
Will It Chug seems more enjoyable to me when it's something with a reputation for being UN-chuggy. I dig the other dude's acoustic simulator idea.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Ola could make an acoustic guitar chug.
Have my like and let's make him accept this challenge!
I third this
Lets make this man’s comment the most liked one so Ola can see it.
Chug a banjo
I’ve done it.
Always wondered how this pedal sounded, not bad !
I didn't expect to see you here, even though I should have considering you're a huge guitar nerd
You have to take into account the expensive amp and cab he’s using.
@@Forest_V19 Trust me this pedal makes EVERYTHING sound awesome
There’s no such thing as a bad pedal. A bad amp, a bad guitarist, maybe.
Eet ken mayke yew faurt whyle yew goe peapea
Ola: "Will it Chug?"
*literally just turns on the pedal*
I have it it’s real easy to chug on
I have a joke for You, Ola:
Who is the best guitarist?
.
.
.
Chug Norris
Clark djent?
Just because he had an important role in Walker Texas Chugger
Chug Schuldiner
This should be top comment.
Chug-Claude van Damme would kick his ass.
Y'all know that a Mesa Dual Rectifier chugs even when it's turned off, right?
Your username is fucking hilarious
Damm just your name bro
Love the name and you are correct as well.
That coffee mug isn't fooling anyone, we all know it's booze.
Idk man. Not everyone has a romantic relationship with alcohol
Stomp City
Who cares if it is or not. How old are you, 12?
@@newthrash1221 dude its a joke you dont have to get so salty
I just think he loves coffee like alot of people ☕ Swedes are known for being big coffee drinkers.
@Samí Warrior No we don't. We just drink beer - lots of it...
Ola: Ouch this hurts my ears
Nobody:
Ola: keeps playing
Hudson Borelli Hearing is overrated anyway..

"Will the BOSS Metal Core distortion pedal chug?"
Gee, let me think, having owned one for well over a decade: UUUUMMMM, yes.
Bonus test: will it DIMEBAG if you put an MXR 10-band graphic EQ behind it?
Love the Metal Core pedal. The most metal pedal ever made by Boss. Period.
This is a great pedal, I use it all the time. It's seriously underrated - I think people expect it to be crappy because they've had bad experiences with the Metal Zone.
This si better
Next you should do the Metal Muff pedal by Electro-Harmonix
I have the pedal, it is a better volume boost and EQ than distortion pedal. I have a Joyo metor it makes it go from like 70s and 60s rock to full on 80s Heavy metal/Thrash.
I can answer that for you... Definitely yes!!! I have one going into a Orange Crush 20RT and it makes a perfect prog metal/sludge tone that chugs for days!!!
mojo mojo into metal muff into eq into old tube amps. this grandpa rocks! been shredding through a metal muff since it came out.
I couldn't get a good tone but then again, i was using a line 6
I swear by my metal muff. It'll turn any tube amp with a halfway decent clean tone into a death machine.
Boss Metal Core. Best tone for the buck.
I just bought a Boss M2 Metal Core distortion pedal today, for $40. It was sill in the box, even! It's awesome!
This pedal might as well be called the metal zone mk2. With the new feature of being able to sound good through the front of your amp
Lol true
Actually this pedal was Rob Chapman's favourite in a blindfold test of many distortion pedals.
Who is Rob Chapman?
Was the Boss Power Stack in the video as well?
Gantz graf he’s the chapman guitar CEO (great guitar with sexy look by the way) and I think he is a youtuber too...
gantz graf Owner of Chapman Guitars and co host of Andertons TV on youtube
@@pezholda5935 "Who is Rob Chapman?"
Can't tell if trolling or serious. Subscribe to Anderton's, very good guitar channel, lot's and lot's and LOT'S of gear tests, and look up Rob Chapman's channel as well.
I want to see a Metalzone running into the seymour duncan powerstage 170 into a cab.
LegendaryK4 that video already exists
@@delfeth Link? I know he ran it into the effects loop of an amp... unless you are talking about someone else
I bought Boss Metal Core when it first hit the market back in about 2009/2010 and have had it ever since. I loved the sound right off the bat. The thing that I like the most about this pedal is that is sounds good for WAY more than just metal. I use it for alot of hard rock and punk also. Versatile pedal.
I use it for leads as well. If you get an overdrive pedal or tube screamer and have the distortion on around a quarter or less dialed up, with some decent chorus and a little delay, it sounds bomb.
I have since 2016, I use with the distortion in 0 and a TS7. Is a underrated pedal
Randy Razor
Right there with ya! Got mine in 2010 and I got a TS Mini around 2016 and they sound insane together!
@@squidwardtortillini8816 I have this metal core pedal and a bad monkey overdrive can I use this to boost my leads?
@@markandreotti7323 Of course.. That's how you improve your tone which is to use an Overdrive pedal. Like an Icing or Cherry on top.
When playing Rock my OD is the one that i mainly use for the whole song, when soloing imma turn on the Distortion for that spice.
When playing Metal my Dist is the one that i mainly use for the whole song, but when imma go crazy iim gonna turn my OD for that Chef Kiss.
Do it and experiment with it man. But some people like it as is. Dist alone or Od Alone. They dont like stacking/boosting. But for me it works.
Ola playing on Standard tuning, What a time to be alive!
Hey Ola, try EHX Metal Muff :)
Hell yeah. I owned that for a year and loved it. Plus there is a inspiring message inside the battery compartment that was a nice gesture.
I just bought the meta muff. Would you say it’s better in the FX loop or straight through the front
@@tyrp7309 Short answer FX return if tube, if Transistor Clean channel front end
Long answer:
Not sure how you have been getting on with the Metal Muff, but I find its best into a really flat amp be it solid state or tube, you want to run it through an "open" amp or straight into fx return. When I say open I mean not adding too much character or colour.
I think both this and the Metal Zone were designed for use with cheap solid state amps that could quite do the most extreme metal sounds that well. Most solid state amps at the time had a competent clean. I think these days solid state amps have far more tube style character, which colours the tone, so when you put a Metal Muff or Metal Zone into them it can be quite hard to get the right balance.
You can still get killer tones into most amps if you are ok with dialling stuff carefully. But even a little amp gain can (not always) just ruin it. For instance I found it really had to get a good tone in my Jet city clean, its the only pedal it does not like, literally tried over 50 in it. The Jet is a Tube amp, it is amazing with every other drive I have tried, just not the Metal muff. Pre amp changes the tone too much to work
But at home into my cheap flat as hell budget solid state clean channel, its fucking immense. Its not so much the quality of the amp as the type of amp. So what usually is a bad fit for guitar (i.e. flat response, uber clean hi fi style pre amp) I think is easy to use with Metal Muffs and Metal Zones, if you have Tube amp , go into fx return, unless its a HI Watt or something similar or a fender twin style amp
Hola Ola. It's 4am and I need to be asleep. Why you do this to me?
I think this is my favorite Will It Chug video so far hahaha
Make Cafe With Ola with MaxCavalera
Damn I expected a pedal call “metalcore distortion” to sound like ass but it’s actually pretty good
I just thought it sound like metal core. Lol
Ola can make a guitar chug without using an amp or pedal - legend says everything he touches starts to chug
As a Taiwanese, I didn't expect Ola say "taiwan" from his mouth... Best thing ever.
Ola, do the Fullbore Metal by MXR
NOT THE BEES NOT THE BEES
+1 on the Will it Chug: Fullbore Metal.
I got one today , and I freakin love it - the sound is exactly the distortion i was after --- have used a lot of pedals and Multi Effects , but wanted something that I can feel it vibrate through my body and this pedal delivers exactly that
This pedal has a presetting in the preset section of the manual named "Gothenburg sound"
I'd love to see a "Will It Chug" with the quintessential distortion pedal: the Boss DS-1
He did.
It hurts my soul to see people sit drinks on tube amps.
@Manley156 It always starts with water and you'll end up with something stronger.
Some people actually aren't clumsy.
UltraViolence74 i drink wine in soda bottles with caps around my amps
I always put my cup of coffee on my 6505 XD it's my inspiration to write and jam so it deserves its spot there and no spillages for several years haha
@@redrum427 I'm not clumsy, however I have a cat that loves to knock everything over. The struggle is real.
Best settings on this pedal imho are:
Level maxed
Bass 9 o clock
High 10 o clock
Gain minimized.
You get a slight mid boost this way
(for a pedal that pretty scooped to begin with)
Great pedal
I'm gonna try that.
Now put an overdrive in the front of that metalcore pedal, i wonder how would it sounds
Don Urbano Binasbas III i would describe it as a heavy but creamy distortion. I used a metal zone in the past and would occasionally put an OD in front of it to wet the sound. Don’t know if i made sense at all :)
Just tested one yesterday with a TS-9 boosting it. With all the gain down and no boost, it can sound like a lot of vintage rock/metal distortions of the classic marshalls, with the boost you get a tight modern sound and can crank the gain up until 12 o'clock for some heavy crunch and chug. I'd recommend setting the treble dial fairly low, given the boost will add a lot of bite and the pedal still sounds kickass by itself
Will it chug: Randal Satan
Absolutely not.
That's more of a clean amp
@@DannyGesko Very tight is what it is
Everything at noon. Chugs \m/
Is the tolex of the head changing the colour slightly?
How do you do that effect? 🤣
Its being possesd by the metalcore
Move that god dam cup of coffee. Makin me nervous. Peace bro
Will It Chug: Cup of Coffee?
.01 seconds
1:27 Like a drunken, outta tune "jingle all the way" lol
2:50 when he turned the gain down: instant time warp back to 90s era Prong.
Yessah
It really is a great pedal. I use it more than my Ceres and it’s 1/4 the cost. The Ceres collects dust
This is the video that made me buy the metal core. Two years later and It's basically the only pedal I actually use. The rest (excluding tuner) have been demoted to being mostly ornamental and are in my pedal board mostly because I'm too lazy to get a new smaller pedalboard and redo all the wiring.
Forgot about noise gate, because it's always on. The integrated noise gate on the CHUG pedal has almost made me buy it. If only the CHUG pedal also had a tuner - then it would really have everything a groving (sideways) metalhead needs. Perhaps in version 2.0. Or am I allowed to dream about a Solar Amp with integrated tuner and noise gate.
Pedal looks so freakin metal and sexy!!
I've been playing on the boss metal core for years. Gives me just what I need...
I noticed your amp and speakers were different that what i play through... Which would require you to adjust the dials as you have...
I play a Randall hd45rms head through a randall 4x12 1/2 stack.
This set up has done me well for the direction i chose to travel.
Been using this pedal for a year.. so far so good 😊👍🏻
this automatically went into 4k and I'm watching it on my tv and it's freaky, so clear, for a sec I thought we were videochatting
Hi Ola Englund, I joe from Brazil please test the Benringer UltraMetal UM300
would be similar to the metalzone but the pink makes it worth it
Boss should rename this pedal to Euronymous signature distortion pedal
I used to have the Metal Zone pedal and thought it was a piece of shit. Is this one a lot better? Need a decent pedal since I don't have a great amp at the moment.
Yes Metal Core is awesome I had a Metal Zone and it sucked!
Dear lord I'm early. I was gonna try to make a joke about it, but I just woke up. I think I need some coffee with Ola
Ola forgets how to play guitar at 1:20
Nice MARVEL Underwear @ 4:25
Am I the only one looking at this for grunge potential?
This pedal is floating around on the marketplace for 100$ not too far from where I live , I want it.
Would love to see you do this with the Electroharmonix Metal Muff or the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Mayhem (if you can find one)
This should have been called "Won't It Chug"!
Dang! That sounded pretty good.
Hi Ola, in your opinion, which is the best sounding distortion pedal for thrash metal.
Hey Ola, a brother from Scandinavia here.
Will it chug: Boss blues driver. (BD-2)
Philip Kvamme I can make it chug on a fender amp. Cranked with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups. Sounds pretty good, actually.
I watched Jesus Ola playing the metal core effect.
I’ve always said this is an underrated pedal. This and the Power Stack are great pedals, and they sound great used as preamps a la Metalzone too
I have both, the Metal Core is good but The Power Stack is just too noisy.
NutsTesticles is sounds absolutely horrible
There kind of finicky with the amps you can run them through. I have those 3 and with the right amp they sound really good.
jgmopar what amps do you run them through?
@@94Shredder they sound so good through roland amps.
Please do MXR DD-11 pedal and make it chugg! I want to see you use the dime time pedal!
these videos make me so anxious: he starts a timer, and start to play ... it's immediately chugging, and he continue to play for a RANDOM amount of time about 10-20 secs then announce that its chug ... aaaaagggh ... timer should be immediately stopped after the first second, or something like that ... or is he ever ranking the stuff, you cannot measure according to this .... aaaaggh
I almost bought a Metal Core pedal, but I talked myself out of it because I already had an MT-2 Metal Zone. If I knew how it sounded I would have gotten it!!
I worked at BOSS when we came out with this pedal. Listen to the Warbringer album "Walking Into Nightmares.' That was a sonic shooting point for how they wanted that pedal to sound. Love the chug, buddy!!
crazy to think the guys at BOSS knew about that album back then lol
Gotta love it when a pedal can chug with everything basically at noon!
Keep those highs low and those lows high.
It put the 🤔 MXR Dime Distortion to shame 🤣 what pice of crap lol😎
Hi Ola, maybe you will make another series which simply will be just opposite idea to Will It Chug?
Will It Suck?
Didn't expect this one.
I'll admit, i kind of like it.
How low are these guitars tuned?
I bought this pedal a few years back on a whim and it’s turned out to be one of my greatest assets in my rig.
With enough fine tuning between the pedal and your amp you can dial in a pretty decent amount of tones. I love it.
Which amp you using
❤metal core growl n cut.thunderyour band😮
I have literally been using this for like a decade. Im interested in maybe switching to a revv g3 or 4 but idk, im still in love with it.
1:25 to 1:37 was essentially a Kirk Hammet cover.
If he doesnt clap before he starts talking I wont watch the rest of the video hahahahaha
woah im early to an ola vid, jeez may as well comment
Bro what is your tuning 😳😍
Boss Power Stack. Try it please.
You could use this pedal in a "When Won't It Chug"- stick in front of smaller or less gain amps until it no longer does h chugg?
I thought Chug was that kid from The Goonies.......Will it Chunk?
1:10 - So that's how you use coffee. Who knew? LOL
So happy to see this vid.
It was my main core sound before I got my Revv G120. Yeah, you kinda figured it out, it's drop both EQ knobs, turn the bass up until it chuggs how you like, then add treble just enough to fill it out. I kept the distortion at about 2/3's.
Also, get it? Core sound? I'll see myself out....
How much wet/dry are you attenuating on the coffee?
This was one of the best reviews of any pedal that I've ever seen. Subscribed
Hey ola after you’ve tried a bunch of new distortion pedals this year is the revv g4 still one of your favorites? Or maybe you would recommend a different distortion pedal for a tighter budget?
Love to see a Revv g4 vs Boss metal core demo...
1:25-1:38 is what it sounds like when i try to write metal riffs
legit sounds like when I started guitar
I wonder what it sounds like, if you go straight into the FX-Return of the Mesa. Please thumb up, so he´ll see it and maybe test it for us
Please review about Mooer Rage Machine
Will it chug;
FAB chorus
Hola latinos españohablantes una recomendacion para los q adquieren el pedal metalcore y en sus amplificadores pequeños de 15 o 20 wts suenan como muy agudos o pitos no es q este mal el ampli o el pedal solo q asi se desarrolla el pedal frente a esos amplis lo q necesitan es un pedal acualizador y bajarle todo los agudos y asi lograran una distorsion grave adecuada para el metal actual asi q ya saben saludos bros viva el metal lml
I speak English but this still helps me! Thanks 🤘
This dude can make a brick chug
Metal Zone is ok 😒
Metal Core is awesome 🤘
Hey ola. Could you do this with Boss power stack? and try to sound like oldschool bands like death
I had the MetalCore and the Power Stack, the Power Stack gets so noisy with the gain past noon, which made it unusable for me, but it has very good low gain tones. I miss my ML-2 though
Herman Tolken Hmmm I think they all need a good noise gate for a precise sound but it would be intresting to boost a high gain amp with power stack or even using it with plugins to see the response!
from 5:00 THE SOUND IS AMAZING !!!
Metal Core vs Metal Zone Chug Battle!
Metal Core stacked into the Metal Zone... Now that would be gain...!
@@markgilson7404 +1
Okay. Thought I don't need a new distortion pedal. Actually I do.
Hey Ola how come you didn’t run it through the effects loop like you did the Metal Zone?
Because it just sounded good in the front of the amp probably
