Yeah so here it is. It's up on my blog before being available for the Youtube followers. You probably recognize the song. Only difference is that it has a added solo. :thumbsup:

So check it out here:

Nice! :rock:


Ola, you make every amp sound great! :rock: what's your thoughts on the Forza?


worth the money, or might as well save 3 grand and get a 5150?
 
DAR sounded great! Wish I could've been there for your Pantera tribute. You guys rocked it! :rock:

Dude you're in for a treat! The amp sound is tits!
 
Excellent stuff as usual, Ola! :thumbsup:

I had a couple of quick questions:

How do you like the RGD2120 compared to the MTM2? I happen to have the RGD2120Z which I like very much. Even the stock pickups are cool.

Given the experience you've accumulated by trying out so many great amps, how does the Forza compare? The Forza is certainly unique in its engineering, but is its high-gain tone too nontraditional? Does it still let you connect with your music like other amps you've used (e.g., Mesa, Engl), or do you have to fundamentally adjust and accommodate yourself to its tone/vibe? I know the Forza excels at clarity, but I'm still unsure about how I'd react to playing one myself (I've only heard it through clips, so I'm just guessing here). Thanks for any thoughts you can share on this very interesting amp.

Badass as always dude!! I liked the raw video you posted too. Those amps looked gimicky to me, but damn do they sound good!!
 
Sounds killer man, how loud did you have it cranked up? Thing has so much power I've never really gotten it past about 1/3rd volume, I was in the room with it and I didn't want to go deaf haha.
 
That sounds mighty killer. It's really compressed for my likes, however.

Killer site though.
 
i love how it says guitar noob below your name on the banner, thats pure class and fucking hilarious :lol: :LOL:

DAR amplifiers sound good to me somedays and other days it leaves me questioning something. i cant quite put my finger on what it is about those amplifiers - i think it has alot to do with the power tubes and the class A biasing which gives the clean character/immense headroom. to me the clean character is essential for high gain but DAR's method of obtaining it leaves me sour - class A is something i would lean towards with a clean channel instead of high gain. just personal preference.

YMMV - to me it just depends on the guitar and who's plugged into it. it holds its own against many other's you've tried Ola - cant detest this or the fact your playing is great as usual :thumbsup: :rock:

Thanks Dallas,
For the actual test I was going pretty loud. But I didn't need to go far on the master as you said. You should've been at the FAL studio where we cranked it for real. My ears still rings from that session.

I see the clean character as their one of DARs many strengths. I would call it pure clean brutality! Like getting killed from a perfectly balanced samurai sword while for say a 5150 where you get cut with a dull knife. It's painful and takes a while before you're dead. Hmmm...

Haha I bet, there are vid's on DAR's youtube channel when they went to sweeden with the amp the first time and it was cranked, sounded sick as hell.
 
Sounds killer Ola, too bad it will not sound like that if I played it since I do not have your right wrist :lol: :LOL: You really bring out what is good about tight amps.


Fixing that though with time :thumbsup:
 
Ola!

That sounds amazing brother! Thanks for posting that!

And the cover of A New Level sounded awesome dude! thanks for putting it up!

Cheers!
