RIG OF THE WEEK - MEZZABARBA TRINITY 

OLA THE MISTAKERER

Hey man, just noticed that your live video from a few hours ago is set to private. Did that happen on purpose? Greetings dude

@@Targon999 it´s blocked and waiting for processing. I had to trim out a bunch of parts where cdbaby had it blocked.

Ola Englund drinks coffee and shit excellence.. even when he makes mistakes lol

@@OlaEnglund alright, thx 🤘

AGREED!

Think you’d struggle to get enough power from solar to run an amp 🤔

I would like that, He has the tonal taste I would like, because he knows to much of many amps starting from Randall to infinity.

Hopefully it would turn out better than Wylde Audio amps LOL!

Ola with his welding mask on is something I'd like to see

I was about to say the same. But I wanted to make some kind of "compared to Zakk Wylde Ola just has a Mezzabarba" statement.

Si corretto viva l italia

@@ildima6038 In realtà al momento siamo un po' moribondi, ma speriamo la situazione migliori presto

@@LucaPasini Un po' moribondi come tutto il mondo, a dire il vero

Back in the day Jaco Pastorous had concert somewhere in Italy He said: "-I would like say some.jokes,but I dont speak italian.."(everyone in venue were totally quiet) "I thought you got it"-said Jaco(still all venue quiet) "No,you dont...."said Jaco laughing itself.

It sounded so much better with the pedal in front of it, though.

He had both the boost and OD on at the same time. Probably overkill.

I agree. My amp (Laney Ironheart) sounds great on its own with plenty gain, which is why I bought it. Has a switchable boost built-in, so I don't need an additional pedal for that either 😀👍 My pedals live purely in the FX loop: some modulation, compressor and noisegate. Love it 😎

Not true. Lots of amazing amps work best with pedals because they help you shape the tone from the front of thr amp. Doesn't matter thr make or cost. Pedals always help.

Amps don't need an OD pedal. Players do.

yup and great for thrash metal as well.

this is such a killer amp and the Italians are knocking it out of the park. Mezzabarba and RedSeven are making slamming stuff now.

of course he was replaced long time ago. The real Ola was silent

Seriously looks like a “Ola Plug-in”

Yeh man his tone is amazing, Doug Rappoport has an amazing review as well.

@@martinhagen2913 well then I'm gonna have to go check that one out too. Doug is an amazing player, I'm sure he's done that amp justice!

beautiful clean tho

plus his oddball Swedish sense of humor makes videos quite entertaining to watch

Haha true dat

Maybe 2 Civics man...

yes of course go buy an axe fx3 for 2500 euro

wow!!! just saw the price. :))

@@riccardopocci73 Go buy a Bluguitar AMP 1 Irridium for 750 and put them all to shame!

Does it sound good?

agree love my MZero a killer amp that does rock, blues and metal quite well and great dynamics.

thats a really accurate description

@@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender Hint, it's actually based on the sllllowwwww, amplifier... (soldano).

@@stevestevestevesteve6466 Not really but, let's say that if some cars share exactly the same engine and that engine IS what it's the most important to their success, it's the SLO engine for certain amplifiers. A funny thing is, the new SLO mk II by BAD, mike soldano redesigned, has some improvements and some (very slightly) altered values. In the end, he accidentally ...cloned the hughes and kettner triamps lead channel, which is of course SLO based. Down to the values altered. The clone had some minor improvements. You can only do so much with some circuits. It is "different" than the original SLO. Those amps that tick because of it, are known, framus cobra and dragon, rectifier of course. EVH and peavey 5150. The evh is by far the most drifted afar. The blue channel people love has some of the logic of the SLO but it's a different beast at all. It could be its own amp!. Laboga, I think diezel herbert as well are SLOs. But this trinity is practically an SLO with midi and EL34s. I wonder why he labels it as a mezzabarba amp. In the sense that older massotti/mezzabarba amps have different, unique and derived by him circuits. Anyway, it is what it is. If you open it up you may go aggghhh SLO. There are videos vs an SLO in the same cab. They sound identical even with different power tubes. In the end...I wouldn't pay for the mezzabarba. It's a copy of sorts, it does not have resale or brand recognition at the same level, it's a great amp but with almost 4000 you can buy the original or 2 or 3 ...similar amps lol.

There are some great other brands such as Brunetti and Masotti that make amplifiers, as well as Markbass

You forgot cars and sick motorcycles... How not to love Italy 🖖🏻

Luca Pasini of course! As a good Italian I’m proud of our music addiction 🤟🏻

@@LucaPasini Masotti is Mezzabarba.

Also Rufini guitars/basses

Not the first time I notice a riff from The Gathering, Genius album ( Lombardo

@@dirtyandnasty9011 Feared once covered "D.N.R."

@@dirtyandnasty9011 definitely their heaviest album

Not Answering these amps are actually really great. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re ever at NAMM.

@@johnhuldt Dont get me wrong, I got no doubt that they're great. (And i would like to try one very much)

Dynamics of this amp is without comparison...no wait, theres this one american dude...i cant remember his name anymore :) I know, its my amp :D :D

There live butique amp builder nearby and he swears, that good transformer (more then meets the eye) is the most important part of valve amp. And good transformers (robots in disguise) are big, beefy and heavy :D

@@stanislavmigra It doesn't have to be too huge but made of excellent materials by someone that actually loves making them. Most high production amps cut costs at the transformers, which is why your builder friend is correct. Transformers and speakers are 99% of the equation for tubes.

That's why the low end is massive, it could act as Bass guitar amp head. Get some Lemmy tones.

It actually weighs a lot less than my Krankenstein lol

Been waiting for a filtertron too!

I find filtertrons do sound huge. But, in my experience I don’t care for the palm mute sound. But unmuted powerchords do rock with them.

He also says “John Petrushi,” so... 🤣

Z is a S sound in Swedish so makes sense if you think of it that way.

@@DEJ915 yeah, no flame here. As italian myself is really funny

Casso!

You're reading it wrong it's the Mesa Barba, Mesa's new product line for neckbeard guitarists

The Driftwood is pretty dang brutal, good choice.

I have to agree with you dude. Ola didn't look impressed, neither was I. Just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's good. Ola had better reactions from trying the Boss Katana. $500 amp, or when he tried the Revv G3 pedal, a $200 pedal. He was trying to be polite. You know when Ola is impressed.

I'm gonna go with peanut butter

Hotel?

@@ElUniQorNi0 trivago

Definitly peanut butter man
