what's up everyone and welcome to ola
testing and the of the day
is the seymour duncan powerstage 700
uh power amplifier
[Music]
do we have room for more usually when i
do like a distortion pedal test
i hook him up to the effects loop of my
randall satan
and you guys are like uh that's not fair
yeah you're plugging everything into the
rails saying everything will sound good
well yes so i figured i would get this
which is a non-tube
power amplifier it's a solid state power
amplifier and i guess
that will be even more of a better
showcase
power amplifier for when i'm trying out
pedal so that's why i have it right here
and uh look at it it's pretty nice
actually i like the front of it
so that's what i'm doing today i'm
plugging a bunch of distortion pedals
into this thing and we're just going to
see how it sounds
hear how it sounds allah see year of
hearing over hearing
how to see so for this test i'm using my
new dean dean from hell dimebag guitar
into a couple different distortion
pedals i'm using a rev
g3 pedal right now that goes straight
into the power stage
and uh into my history cabinet so
something that is uh
not that typical with power amplifiers
is that you have base metal and travel
knobs
usually on a power amplifier you work
with depth and presence
but here there is a free band eq so here
we go
[Music]
okay what okay wow nice
[Music]
i haven't played guitar for like two
weeks oh my man
okay so
i like that because you have this free
band eq here on the power ramp you can
work together
with your distortion pedal i mean some
distortion pedals or overdrives
doesn't necessarily have a free band eq
so i guess you can work
out this kind of marriage here with the
eq on the pedal and the eq on the actual
power amplifier
[Music]
so
[Music]
drinking
[Music]
do we have room for more
okay i better turn down the input a
little bit
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
oh instant shame right there
[Music]
that's a lot of punch actually
[Music]
so
[Music]
man
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right here's for the sake of ola i'm
just going to try out a different pedal
uh i'm going to try out this from
peepers or peppers
pedals the pv fury which is
uh a pedal based on the pv range
amplifier i i don't have any experience
whatsoever with pv range but
uh peepers or peppers people sounds like
uh
a naughty person but pepper's
petals sent me one of these and i'm just
gonna try it out because
that was just so nice of them sending
that to me
[Music]
boy i'm not used to playing floyd rose
guitars i pick way too hard
[Music]
listen
i just have to remember to play a little
uh softer on the strings
[Music]
how how can you not play pantera on this
thing i i i
[Music]
here
[Music]
yeah i'm actually kind of surprised how
tube-like this
power amplifier sounds i was not
expecting that
uh usually when you have like a
solid-state amplifier it just
doesn't sound as deep as a regular tube
power amplifier but i think the power
stage does a really good job here
it sounds good and i haven't really been
cranking it that much so let's see
should we do a test we should do a test
because it's olaf
okay you man oh
oh okay i did not go past 12
o'clock but that was
loud okay good to know that uh
it's loud also worth mentioning is that
simracking also has a 170 uh version of
the power stage
which i was actually more interested to
try out because it's more in a pedal
format
okay now oh
okay i should have had my
uh db meter here but i did not okay so
there you go ola testing
testing out the power stage 700 not
yeah and the pv fury 158 pal from
peepers
peppers pels okay and the rav g3
petal okay both excellent pedals great
power amplifier i'm gonna use it a lot
more
it actually might be a better piece of
gear to use for my upcoming distortion
panel videos
because it might be a little bit more
non-coloring
i would say so there you go that's all
the testing for you thank you so
much for watching and please
