So yeah uhm...

[Turgon]

Sure, Aston. I know, but I was talking about these that are more popular on polish market

[Ola Englund]

Well it's not that I can choose whatever amp I want to test. I test what I have access too. And polish amps aren't to common in sweden.

[Mordimer]

Weird... Amps aren't, but cabinets are It's all about marketing...

[Rachet]

I'm pretty sure that Marek from MG or Szymon from Bash would gladly borrow You one of their amps for tests if You only asked them to.

[sylkis]

Assuming that they have some in stock, so that they wouldn't have to build them just for tests.
MG usually dosen't if I remember some threads around here correctly.

[Musza]

They should ask Ola, sir.

[Rachet]

Sylkis brings up pretty good point though.

[Stivo2005]

I know that Ola and Marek talked about sending amp for a test.

[Robert Perke]

I'm innocent, someone asked me to write Rob Perke over here. I didn't know it was going to start a shitstorm.

Rob forgives you, my child...Just please dont use his name in vain.

[Tolein]

I bet my ass there would be plenty of people wanting the amp after the test, so making one for Ola is not really a huge stretch from capitalism, only wouldn't that spoil the unbiased nature of the test? (well, if I say this amp is great, I get $XXXX for it, if I sat it's shit, I get none).
Also, what the fuck was that gay-shit about the 100-balls sacrifice again, Rachet?!

And last but not least, the recent studies have shown that the major force driving Ola Englund to sevenstring.pl and all the other polish-oriented topics was the influence of great magnitude that the pierogis beseige on an individual!
Bon apetit

Perhaps I'm wrong, but doesn't he buy the amps himself or at least return them to the distrubutor after the test? Also, the idea of being paid to test an amp is rather ridiculous.

Rob forgives you, my child...Just please dont use his name in vain.

Sir, please kindly shut your mouth.

[lupus]

testing Ibanez Thermion would be totally awesome, it's said that it's a good amp for low tuning.

[sylkis]

Still, after all the stuff spammed around here about the Sidewinder MK5 (which seems to be quite an amazing amp), the idea of Ola testing it makes me moist.

[sify11]

btw Ola, you're a total ass having an RGD and playing that strictly 7 shit!
i mean, come on just look at it!

[Tolein]

What I meant was mearly for the manufacturer to accomodate Ola with the amp for the testing purposes so he, or the manufacturer itself, could sell it later on. And given the number of followers that Ola has, given that the test results would be positive of course, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the number of people willing to pay extra (compared to the standard fees) for the amp touched by the hand of G.. Ola himself.
Also, getting dragged down this train of thought by the shortcut path I suggested, that such operations might indeed give some idea about the bias Ola would have, as he would be the one to sell the amp, at least I can think of some fags going down this road. Yet, in a plane video (and audio) of Ola playing some badass riffs, there is really very fucking little room for bias (or should I say - the bigger the bias, the better the amp is set) and the way it sounds is up to the amp in the very end.
That is the most clear way I find myself capable of expressing my thoughts on the matter.
And to sum up - they should so fuckin do it (left alone the mere marketing effect of such test (again - given it went all good and well) for a small brand like Bash. Fucking shitload of orders come to mind.

[Hesu]

fuck all the tests, where the space for music, passion?

come on, you still need to live ... know what I mean if you have a family and responsibilities.

For all I know Ola gladly test many things, but I beg you don't make him pay for it, "they" should pay for all the tests - that's true...

[Tolein]

Who the fuck said anything about paying?

[sylkis]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it works the way that a manufacturer lends Ola a given piece of gear for free (well, probably even covering the shipping costs, I guess that's a small price for a good advertisement) and after testing gets it back. Neither side pays anything to the other one.

[Tolein]

Yea, but as you mentioned before, the problem might be that said manufacturers make the amps on demand and they don't have it laying around in stock.

[Rachet]

As far as I know Bash makes couple of SH20 heads at a time couse he knows he'll sell them anyway.

[Tolein]

So, the summary of this pointless discusion is - Ola, try Bash sh20 and mk5!
Or to się nazywa grypa jelitowa.

[Ola Englund]

Just to clarify... Most of the amps I test are borrowed from people I know, from guys at Swedish forums etc. A couple (around 4) I have bought myself. Only 2 amps have been sent from the manufacturer themselves and it's the DV Mark Triple 6 and DAR.

I'm not making any money on this more than from the revenue I get on Youtube ads(which is like 1 dollar month). I have a day job(as you might have seen with my business card earlier in the thread), so this is all a hobby of mine that kinda got escalated.

I'm not rich, I just have great friends in Sweden... And as of now in Poland as well!

[Stivo2005]

Ola please tell me about the DV Mark Tripe 6, is it a good amp? Im asking because, i've buyed the ENGL Savage 120 KT88, but i also thinked about the DV Mark. So i your opinion, have i made a good choice?

The DV Mark Triple 6 is a great amp. But I wouldn't choose it before the Engl Savage. The Savage is much more modern sounding.
