WILL IT CHUG? - Marshall MS2 

Will It Chug? Ask Robin!

This OD plugged to Marshall sounds like glitches from 80s game, though

Imagine adding a Metalzone to this - best black metal sound that you can achieve

2:21 The ultimate stoner/doom/psychadelic/desert rock/sludge sound came from that amp

HM-2 into everything that refuses to chug

2:24 every black metal band ever will kill for that sound :D

2:28 new genre "Punch Metal"

So when Hetfield referenced the "Marshall noise" in the song "Whiplash", this is what he was talking about right?

Robin steals the show ...hi5 for Robin We want Robin as perma guest!

I just woke up and the first thing I see is 2 grown men howling at a pocket sized box..

instead of chugging, i guess that ｔｈｕｍｐｓ

2:23 Doom Metal on a budget

It actually sounded decent with the OD when you lowered the level. Sounds better than the code.

The note definition with the overdrive is outstanding

2:28 NOW THAT'S THE REAL CHUGGING.

My MS2 was modded with an output for external speakercabinets... you will be suprised how good it sounds

Ok so now we add an OD pedal... *accidentally summons the dark overlord

This was extremely funny! The high pitched sound that kicked in when the distortion pedal was turned on along with the guys trying to emulate the same sound was just awesome! XD

It may not have chugged, but it got all of my dogs to howl when you and your friend were making noise along with that tiny micro thing which made me laugh to the point of tears. Thanks for the pick me up.

I love how you connect with fans. You are the man Ola

1:13 ola plays “the devil in I”

2:28 it's an amazing brutal metal intro

I was 16 in 1984 and I remember I had this tiny little square practice amp the size of the cabinet of this mini Marshall. It was all kinds of solid state crap-sounding, just like this, but I could put it on the strings at the bridge and it would start to feed back, then I could start to slide it up and down the strings and get an identical sound to the motorcycle on the Motley Crue track 'Kickstart My Heart'. Ah the memories.......

Played on one of these, super fun, definitely getting me one. It's really nice sounding 1W amp for practise and can be used as a guitar preamp for recording.

I laughed pretty hard when I seen dude with the “paying friend” sign haha. I needed that.

Damn, that was some interesting MEGA FUZZ right at 2:20. I love it, even if it's not exactly a terribly useful metal tone! That other micro-amp (EVH I think?) sounds similar when the front end is blasted, like a dynamic bitcrusher. Probably a combination of a very small power amp getting overloaded by the teeny preamp, which obviously behaves differently than the full sized ones and mutates the sound dramatically.

3:53 the sound of the amp screaming for help :-D

Mick Gordon would've loved that OD pedal sound when he was writing the doom soundtrack

Hey Ola! I’ve got that Marshall! Great little pocket amp- love your vids!

I have one of these, I modded mine to bypass the speaker and run a 4x12 and it actually sounds pretty decent with a tube screamer, definitely chugs

This episode of W.I.C. was by far the funniest. I enjoyed the pedal induced percussion with every down pick lmao.

I've owned one of those since 1993ish. That thing is so much fun. Great job Ola.

That's mini amp could be use as the preamp, plug the output jack to the input amplifier. Sounds great

2:21 Good old days on cheap guitar/amp looking for that slayer tone

I love it when you bring some "Gathering" out.

This one is the video of yours that made me laugh the most, thanks for making it.

I recently got this as a gift and realized, it is a real piece of junk, but if you're into electronics at a beginner level, I explain to you how you can make it a real good little amp. First, notice out of the box, the mains plug is a core positive! Be careful, most of the adaptors are inner positive (inside pin on positive on the plug). This must be changed for sure, otherwise, you will kill your small friend at the first plugin. Then when I opened the enclosure, seen that the heart of this is an LM386-L IC. Anyways it sounds not good even at the half volume level. How this is possible? The overplaced capacitors around choke the IC of working inconvenience. My advice: throw away the full interior but save carefully the speaker, because this is the piece why this thing is worth buying. The speaker and enclosure together form a well-engineered pair and if paired with a good amp they make a good small amplifier, though. So, save the potmeters, on-off rotary switch, input, output jacks, the DC input. I also added a 3,5mm jack input. Take a brand new LM386-L, 1000uF capacitor, (in my case the tone control I made a low pass filter with a 10n cap) and put it together as found on the internet under the name of the barest minimum LM386 amplifier, with the 1000uF cap at the speaker end. The result will be amazing - tough I sacrificed the overdrive - but nice clean sound with my guitar even on full volume, no distortion, loud enough and even works with my mike with the blues harmonica and cell phone to play radio or music. With the added input I am able to jam with backing tracks from my mobile. What else? Like this, I am pleased and will be a keeper. But the original setup disappointed me. PS: Don't even think about getting more gain from the LM386 by placing the high gain capacitor in between pin 1 and 8 on the IC. this will result in a high background noise, broadcast band radio pickup and distortion. Without you will have clean and background hiss free gear with the adequate volume level.

I dont ever imagine that one amp can make these sounds ,this is hilarious !

When that peddle kicked in I ☠️ lol. I had one of these amps years ago too.

This is the hardest I’ve ever laughed out loud from any of your videos!! As soon as you plugged in the OD I was crying! MASSIVE fuzz wall! It was like an artillery shell that explodes and makes a chord sound. LOFL! 🤣

Can I be the next “Paying Friend”? This means that you pay me, right? 😉 I’m surprised how good it sounds at 3:19 🤘🏻 with the... 33?

2:18 I laughed so hard when he started playing. THAT is a killer tone.

i had one of these around 2001 or so, it was wonderfully wretched. Really, miserably wretched. I then got a Vox Pathfinder and that was a good deal LESS wretched. Then I got an old Ampeg 25 watt amp from the 80s used, and that wasn't too bad. None of them chugged. It's not till the past few years that I started buying some really good smaller amps. My Fender Mustang I v2 was my first 'decent" small amp I bought about eight years ago.

Yup, favorite video of the week.

2:18 haven't laughed like this in a while...

Last time I was this early Ola was still with Randall

What a bright lovely sound

I don't know how well it chucks but they are good sounding generally and they are surprisingly loud. I've got the double height stack version. I spare no expense.

Definitely need to upload that second tone to the cloud for us.

This was actually used in the recent Doom Soundtrack to get that "buzzsaw" sound

Var nog en av de absolut roligaste videosarna jag sett i år :)

I love the trolling with the “paying friend” 😂😂😂 Ola the Geniouserer

2:43 sound like explosions on an NES game

Honestly, that sound could be one of Mick Gordon's effect chains for Doom Eternal. If you watched his GDC talk, particularly the segment about parallel effect chains, you know exactly what I mean. It's this brutal nastiness that would go well with a chugging rhythm (on a different amp). Well, just discovered one of those today. Will try my Metal Muff WITH TOP BOOST on it :D

This is the best will it chug yet!

You can add a speaker out on those and run it into a cab. It's pretty simple to do.

1:00 No joke this thing has better overdrive than my frontman 10g already...

Absolute Gold, I laughed so hard during this I nearly shat myself, I said Nearly, thank you.

Loved it as always, finally I'm a member......

I've used this as a pedal a couple times before, you can boost amps with it. Try that Ola!

2:26 sounds like a damn artillery cannon 😂

This tone Slaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssss *dogs in the neighbourhood all start barking uncontrollably.

cheers from boise idaho,,,,,youdaho,,,,,,,love these videos man keep up the good work! will it chug and the faq s have consumed my day to day youtube viewing.

Dammit, Ola, it's 5am where I am, I have to work soon, but now I have to play guitar. I wasn't going to, but thanks to you, now I HAVE TO! DAMN!

At 3:52, there's an Air Raid!! Duck and Cover!!!!

When he plugged in his od pedal it made me feel like I was playing doom

We actually used it for some lead parts. It was fun!

NEStone! Those tones took me back to my video games in the 80's.

Ola, you should make “Paying Friend” shirts. And sell them. To paying friends.

4:30 Paying Friend pulls money from wallet Ola: “No, No, Not right now” Haha

Finally, some quality content!

I have one from the early 90’s, have had for more than 25 years and it’s badass. The original version does chug . New version is a little less gainy.

I think the riff choice that you played after plugging in the OD was perfect. Sounded like DNR by Testament and to be honest that tone screamed Do Not Resuscitate XD

coffee with Robin?? Ola you know you cant buy friends... but you can rent them :)

I use mine as an amp topper..It sits on top of my Marshall AVT 50 head (which really chugs if you set gain near 3 o'clock) and just looks cute and cool...That's all it's really good for..Oh yeah it looks really cool in a doll house..If you're into that sort of thing..Ola you should make a Metal Doll House and display it on one of your videos. That would be sooo metal.

Rewatching this love it! 😊

Paying Friend looks so uncomfortable that it is funny. But to be fair. I would be to.

It might not chug but it cries! And squals! Lol...

I will ALWAYS leave a Like when Ola busts out that D.N.R. riff!!

Ola getting that headbang into full swing 🤘

Ola can make a watermelon chugging.... 🤣. Nice singing voice Ola... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

give us more robin!

I'm a little ashamed to admit it but I think the power chords at @2:20 sound really cool

I had a pretty good idea that it was not going to chug even before watching it lol...awesome video!

i want 3:36 - 3:42 on loop

I'm really surprised by the sound lol it actually sounded really good for an amp that small

decided to go back and watch all these, sitting here at almost 6am fucking dying laughing when you first turned on the OD pedal and started playing and vibing. havent laughed this hard in years jesus christ

Ola exports his audio and sees an extreme clipping warning and just says fuck it 😂 love you ola

At 2:21 was actually pretty heavy.

Quite amused with your "paying friend" display.

I almost shit my pants from laughter. Ola you make my day!

The paying fan setting there was so funny!

3:29 pure autism i like it

Give us more Robin's Dance

OLA I don't remember exactly how to do it, but you can mod the MS2 by removing a component or desoldering (not sure) a cable and then you can connect a cab to the headphone jack!! You could try it!!

I just got one of these amps and I really can't wait to hook up my horizon precision pedal to it

crying marshall amp

NO, this amp shaped crap has been tried so often already

Im not gonna lie, when you plugged to overdrive in, those first few notes sounded amazing (through the mic)

My first amplifier, love it for traveling
