this vid again makes me question where Ola got the king of "making everything sound the same" moniker?? this sounds exactly like what i hear sitting next to mine making the clips i did for you guys a couple days ago, which i figured would be the case when his vid came. i have a couple of those TLM102's, i havent used them on guitars in a while as i use them as my overheads which i dont touch much, next clip maybe ill pull them down
if you join dinesh's onlyfans before christmas, he will show you all the tones you need bb boi
Mesa really should have led with this video, just buy it from Ola and re-release it as the launch.

I think people who say that about Ola don't understand where tone comes from. When you use sufficiently high gain like Ola does most of the time, the cab is responsible for the vast majority of what most people hear. The amp mostly determines tightness, and character of the harmonics and compression, but the cab determines most of the the overall EQ signature, which is what most people hear first and most obviously.
Ola tends to stick with a small number of cabs, namely that great sounding Mesa OS 4x12 cab of his, so a lot of his tones get filtered through that and it's fairly recognizable.
The rest of it is just people who don't actually know how interchangeable a lot of amps really are in a high gain rig so they just think "Ola always sounds the same" and not "the amp is just less influential than you'd think when you have the same player, pickups, cabs, and mic in the mix" which is a lot closer to the truth.
They may honestly broA lot of the criticism i see comes from other recording guys who are on my "tone trust" list who certainly know whats going on, which is why i question what they are hearing. Ola is my dude based on how close we sound playing the same gear, so if guys i trust think that he makes everything sound the same, that means that most all my stuff sounds the same as well, and i just dont think thats the case. maybe it is though
OG statementI’m gonna need Bad Seed to demo it with the right pickups before I don’t buy it.

This is true - it's also why every clip I post people say "is that the dino?"
Because they apparently don't know how close micing high gain amps works
