What's up everyone? And welcome to Ola Testing Sh*t.
Today I'm trying out the Otto Audio...
Eeh-Eeh-Eeh-Eeh plugin.
That's at least what I think it's called, it's Eeh-Eeh-Eeh-Eeh.
And I've had a bunch of my subscribers
recommending me to trying and get this plugin.
So I've just bought it, I've just loaded it up.
Let's see what happens.
For this test and demo I'm using this X2.7BOP Solar guitar.
Straight into my audio interface,
the Apogee Ensemble, Apogee.
And this is the Eeh-Eeh-Eeh-Eeh plugin.
Just to make things clear.
This is an amplifier plugin,
it does not contain any extra effects, delays or...
So it's not a suite in that sense.
It's an amplifier plugin with a cabinet section, OK?
And it's supposedly made for drop-tuned metal.
This preset is called Future Djent.
And there's actually a lot of presets in this thing.
I mean, check this out... amp match?
So, basically an amp-matched tone?
You have Bass, Baritones...
Uh... II M II?
Heavier M 2, is that like a Mark II C+?
Otto Audio 3.
Otto Audio 2 and 3.
Otto Audio and...
So it's Otto Audio 4, not Otto Audio Eeh-Eeh-Eeh-eeh.
It's number 4, OK.
And then you have a section too for headphones, so that's pretty cool.
There's absolutely a difference listening straight into headphones
and listening in speakers.
So I'm gonna check out a couple of these presets
and we'll check out the whole plugin completely, OK?
So right out of the box it looks like this,
you have preamp gain, bass, middle, treble,
master volume, presence, depth.
And also here you have an impedance curve.
So basically a curve of the amplifier, I guess, so...
We're gonna check that out later.
And if you click here, you get to the backside of the amplifier
where you get a couple of different mods.
Or... it's just two.
Two mods.
Punish.
+10 dB, I guess that's before the preamp.
A + Low, a gate, power tube selection.
So you can switch between 6L6s, KT88s or EL34 tubes.
You have a bias knob, a sag, feedback, snarl.
Interesting.
Amplitude and then you have a cabinet section where you have two different cabinets.
You also have a mono/stereo, so...
So you can get sort of like a stereo feel to it.
Even though you're playing one guitar.
And then let's just go through the presets real quick.
Let's do this.
OK, that's really heavy.
That's actually kinda cool.
OK, shit, why is it changing the oversampling?
Oh, it changes with the preset, OK.
Maybe a little bug right there.
You know, I'd rather just have the oversampling at x8 at all times
than that not being saved in the preset.
OK.
That's actually nasty.
It's just, you know, an HM-2.
That's...
Oh, Heavier M2, so HM-2 basically.
Alright, Absolutely Massive.
OK.
Block Letter, so I guess like the Peavey Block Letter 5150.
Chug Life.
OK.
I'm kinda a little bit annoyed that it's changing to mono/stereo.
Because I wanna hear the amplifier tone in the center.
But with the stereo simulation it kinda... it cheats a little bit.
OK.
Alright let's see if I can work this by myself instead.
That's actually pretty cool, OK.
Let's do 8.
OK, so we have a default preset.
Of this amplifier right here.
I guess these are the different variations of the amplifiers that you have.
So, Crush Satan.
Is that actually a Satan?
I don't know, let's try this one.
Maybe it's different impedance curves that change the amplifier.
That's cool, I like that, what was that?
Four, OK, let's remember that.
That sounds good, OK, let's work with this.
That's a lot of gain, man.
There's something scratchy happening right there.
OK, let's go from here instead.
I wanna try out these different mods.
So let's check it out.
I'm not exactly sure what it's doing.
Maybe it's something in the low end, probably.
Alright, Punish.
Dude, that's so low.
OK, so a little bit of a filter right there.
Plus dB.
Very cool, OK, low.
Then we have the different power tubes selection.
So we have 6L6 right now.
EL34.
OK.
KT88.
That's cool.
Bias.
I would figure that Bias would be the tube bias setting
which would go from cold to hot.
But it's more like a volume thing.
It's really hard to hear if something is actually happening
when the volume is changing that much.
Feedback.
Alright.
Sag.
Snarl.
It's actually very snarly.
Alright, cabinets, let's switch out the cabinets, then.
Let's check.
So it seems that you have 22 different cabinets or 22 different IRs here.
Shit, I need to turn this down.
It's all very bass-heavy.
Damn, man.
OK.
It's a lot of low end.
Damn.
Best so far, cabinet 11.
Very cool.
That's also very cool.
I wanna try this with my own impulse response.
You know, playing from my own impulse response, I'm using a separate loader.
I hear that the amplifier is extremely low-end heavy.
So, depth at max.
OK.
You know, I do think it sounds good.
It sounds very different from other plugins that I tried.
I can't really pinpoint
or you know, put my finger on what it is that is different,
it's extremely low-end heavy.
It's really fun to just sit and play with the presets.
They're really good-sounding for just sitting and playing guitar
if you're just playing without music or anything like that, or a mix.
But I'm a slight bit irritated that I have to switch to mono here.
In every preset change.
Same with the oversampling.
These two shouldn't be affected by the preset change, in my opinion.
But I guess all these presets were made in the stereo mode.
But it makes it feel a little bit unnatural.
You know, I wanna hear how it is in the center.
Because I might use this on the left and the right side,
but not with the stereo widening effect, you know?
Let me check what the "Tune for headphones" is.
That sounds cool.
I mean, all of these have so much gain happening.
It's cool.
I really like it because it's very different from other plugins out there right now.
This is catered, absolutely catered to low-tuned metal.
It gives a different vibe than the other ones, in my opinion.
Maybe I would like to have the option to add an overdrive or something like that.
But I guess you can.
Maybe Otto Audio has a plugin, which is the boost.
I bet this would be the perfect amplifier tone
for something that would sound like Vildhjarta, for instance.
Or you know, Humanity's Last Breath.
That type of metal, it's just... it's just...
Like the hand and the glove as we say in Swedish.
It just matches so well.
So there you go, that's the Otto Audio Eeh-Eeh-Eeh-Eeh for you right there.
There's a lot for me to uncover in this, so...
I'll get to play around a little bit more with this.
