Ola rocks a JJ Jr.

Just as @Jarick and I were professing our love for this amp this popped up in my feed-



Man, I love the amp amp on it’s own, but when he first plugs the Tubescreamer in…..that’s it right there. Damn. I’m moist.

10:40 sounds legit. I still don't think those EL84s would hold up live with a drummer,
especially with all the low-end present with drop-tuned and 7 string guitars. It'd run
out of headroom too fast.

I agree. The 100 is ungodly loud though. That certainly would have no trouble.

Nice, something for me and the boy to watch during dinner!

I agree and I had to go through 4 different EL84 amps before I realized they just aint got the balls for it. Never again. For whatever reason 6v6's can thump just fine but EL84's are nutless wastes of glass IMHO of course.

If you get in a room with Bob also don't bring no EL84s.

I am sure those amps sound great at 90dB or so. It is something I wish
these gear guys would have on the wall (like That Pedal Show does), as
there is no way to tell the actual volume in the room while they are
playing unless they have a dB meter measuring the sound pressure levels.

Why is this painful to listen to?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. The gain structure is just off on this one. Wooly, bassy, and not enough actual gain or cut to it.

Cause Dave and Jerry took all the Marshall out of it.

Jerry has seemed to gravitate towards darker tones throughout his
career. The Bogners (modded 800, Fish, XTC, Shiva) he has been associated
with in the past can also be pretty wooly and dark amps, in my experience.

I thought for sure it was the mic choice or something but I had to turn it off!

Do you like the form factor and does it suit your needs?

I only watch Ola vids from work on my lunch break and usually it doesn't sound that great. I always assume it sounds good in the room or something lol.

 

[Warmart]

Sheesh peeplez, it's just Ut00b Compression making it sound porrlie.

hes one of the few that sounds like i do through the same few amps we both have so i trust his demos the most, i watch other guys play the same amps and they sound totally different and its kind of baffling to me lol. tone really is in the picking hand

 

[Sascha Franck]

Might be a great amp but not even at all suitable for that kinda style.
