What's up everyone, I'm Ola Englund and today it's clearly a Monday
I've been having the worst night ever, my daughter's kind of having like nightmares right now
So I've been up like maybe five or six times, you know? And I have not been having a good night, I must say
It's just ... a lot of shit happening. I dropped my coffee on the floor ...
and I've also cut my finger during a live stream this past weekend
Yeah, this little wound there, it's really distracting.
You know, it's like 'bah, I'm so tired'
But as a response to all of this, the postman got here and he brought me this pedal that I bought a while ago
And I completely forgot that I bought it but it arrived from Japan
and I thought like 'Okay, this is probably the best day to try out this pedal.'
I've just plugged it in, making sure I'm recording right here
Let me size that up, so it looks like it's really awesome
You know, recording on the computer, I look like a pro
Alright, here it goes, this is a Solar A1.6 ET Limited Edition
and i'm plugging it straight into the Korg Miku and then into my audio interface
So, the audio you're hearing are the amps that are built into this UAD Apollo 8, okay?
Oh
There it is
Wow, that's a lovely reaction for my low D here
Okay
Oh
You know, it sounds more like Middle-Eastern rather than Japanese, to be honest
Oh
What the-?
Yeah, it's almost-
It's almost like it's ... you know, calling out a prayer or something like that
What the-
Okay
What the f*** is happening? Okay, good. I like how random it is.
It's not really that fast, is it?
What the f***?
What the f*** is happening?
Shit
That was 'Scat', let's try 'Looh'
What the-
What the hell-
There's an edge there, look.
What-
I guess it has some kind of tracking, so it tracks what note I'm playing and then it outputs something ...
f***ed up.
I wonder if it tracks better if I turn down the tone knob and use the neck pickup
Yeah, it's not really tracking that fast to be honest, I mean it's the delays ...
'Duh - uh' I mean, I guess it's almost like 20 or 30 milliseconds.
Okay, how does it take a chord?
There it is.
That's a good chord for you.
I'm trying to play Metallica
Yeah, it's not really going that well ... 'Nyan'.
'Nyan'
What the fu-
I have to play slow
Okay, that did not work that well, okay.
Yup ... Alright, that's awesome, okay.
Okay, let's try this with distortion because that's just how I work
That's awesome
Yeah, that's ... that's normal, it sounds very normal, I must say
You know what I just though of?
Maybe I can start my own Babymetal band. Have you heard about Babymetal?
Of course you have.
Ah, that didn't really work out that well, but almost.
Wow, that was amazing. Okay. Awesome. Yeah
This is a totally worthless piece of pedal, to be honest, but it's a lot of fun still. I mean, it's ... uh.
But after this video, I have no idea what to do with it
it's not like I'm gonna use it for anything
Except if I do for my Babymetal cover band
Babyola ...
It's not a bad idea ...
Yeah, the tracking is not really up to par, I would say. It kind of sucks to be honest and ...
The delay there is between your playing and it actually generating a sound ... it's just unplayable basically, so ...
Yeah, that's too bad. It's a lot of fun, I must say. But yeah, it's not anything more than that.
I'm sorry to say 'buh-bduh'
'buh-bduh'
Okay, thank you so much for watching this video
This made me a little bit happier about this Monday, so I'm happy. It was a ... yeah.
Thank you so much little Miku.
You know what? Maybe I'll just do a giveaway of this and send it to someone
So, if you liked this video, subscribe to my channel, push that bell notification bell
