Duly noted mark.....and adjusted. I only said it like that so people knew what i was talking about.

the Mk2 sounds like a slighlty darker open voicing from the brief clips but its the seperate gain controls and mid boost instead of the open/focused that has got me going.

MID BOOST?! *pleasure gland explodes*

And my local axery recently became a full Engl dealership. Oh I am going to go in there tomorrow and make sure they have one on pre-order.  :lol:

Meh. I like the open/focussed and have no need of a mid boost. I have EQ pedals for that.

I do like the 4 seperate gains, though.

It does sound a bit darker, *in that clip* ;)

I'll try one out if I get the chance.

Thomann (http://www.thomann.de/gb/engl_powerball_ii_e645_2.htm) already have an entry for it before it's even on the Engl site :lol:

If they'd given it true midi switching like the Invader/Morse/SE & added a second FX loop, I'd be all over it.  But they haven't so I'll pass...

I've always been intrigued by ENGL, but never bothered to get one  :lol:
