HELL YEAH - New Amp at last - Engl Fireball

[MDV]

Aye it is a Fireball
Standard 4x12 with the v60's though....
Missus hates it though  :roll:  :roll:  says its too big :)

Mine said that about my Koch...........sorry I just can't resist making jokes about my amp and haven't got bored with it in 3 years.

Nice amp mate!!

 :D

 :lol:

Keep em coming mate! I love hearing about your koch!

Ok. Well I was jamming around my mates last week and took 3 guitars with me so he could have the BKP experience. That worked fine by the way and is in love with my Uber Pimped Richwood LP with Cold Sweats.
Anyway there were a load of stoners in the house and one said 'Look at all those guitars you've brought with you, you're just showing off' so I replied 'If I wanted to show off I would have got me Koch out'. I had to explain myself as he doesn't play the guitar. I was laughing so hard I nearly lost a kidney.

Gold!

ENGL...

Tell me chaps - are they just METAL amps?  I know that they do the Blackmore signature, which I can't imagine is particularly high gain...  but the overall IMAGE of ENGL seem to be one for the moshers...

Is that the case?

(and I ask as someone who is interested in a Screamer head...)

Well, the high gain channels do have a LOT of gain on tap :D :twisted: (listen to my last 3 clips since I got my Savage - FWIW, I have the Lead Gain on eight) but there's a fabulous array of clean, just-breaking-up crunch, light overdrive & rock sounds from the other 3 channels of the larger models.

Certainly my Savage has more sounds available from Ch1 & 2 than I've bothered to find (I found sounds from both those channels that I really liked almost straight away & so left it at that rather than mess around with all the bright/contour etc switches)

noice amp!  What guitars is that?  It is really weird looking with those cut out parts.

I have an Engl Classic Tube 50 head. Very different from the rest of the Engls. It's basicly a hot rodded Fender Bassman. You can dial in some dirt on the clean channel for a loud rockabilly tone or a Rolling Stones tone and the dirty channel can provide some nice seventies style overdrive tones á la AC/DC, Led Zep and Hendrix.

Well i have just got back from band practise and this thing is a beast!!!

To all the people in an earlier thread of mine explaining how loud 60w of tube power is I now stand before you humbled and believing...and slightly deaf!

F**k me it was loud!
But clear and tight sounding as well....had to actually back off volume so as not to drown the drummer out!!!!...and the tone is just awesome!

That's a nice place to be!
