Engl Powerball owners...please help! :D

With my Powerball, I have an ENGL 4x12 but it's been so raped live (canvas wise)

Does it still sound good though? Physical appearance isn't something I'd be worried about after I've gigged it for a while, only sound quality, heh.

I think you'll find, of all cabs - Engls are nigh on indestructible.

Good good, heh. I had heard they were build like Tanks.   :D

If you like the V2 and you know how it sounds, get that. The Powerball might not be your thing, listen with your ears not opinions from people on a forum. I've done that before and ended up regretting it.

For cabs, what about Orange? They're built like tanks and sound pretty cool.

Could also look into Matamp cabs (about the same price as an Orange).

Not a fan of ENGL cabs personally, I think they make amps sound a bit tinny and harsh in the high end.

Yeah I'm popping down there tomorrow with my axe to plug her in and see how much of a beasting I can conjure up with the Engl, heh. Should be a fun day out! :)

[Nadz1lla]

Okay, I took a trip down to Rocksolid today...

I am in love!

The Engl Powerball is my target, it's a beast! They put me in a sound-proofed room out the back and let me crank it up and I have to say I have never been so impressed by an amp. I found the exact sound I was after within 10 minutes of knob-touching (heh), plus I hadn't turned the gain up very high, so there is plenty of room to go amazingly extreme if I wanted to later on.

Truly, the Powerball is a force to be reckoned with. I'm going to get saving the last half of the money I need and they also said they'd try and match the Thomann price too, yay!  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Nailbomb + Powerball = Blew my nucking futs off!  :shock:  :lol:

Its an AWESOME amp and the cabs are awesome too.

Hope you enjoy how awesome it really is! :D

[Nadz1lla]

Oh I will, hehe. I just a) have to save up the rest and b) convince my fiancee that I really REALLY need it, despite that we need to save up for our wedding next year, lol.

I am willing to live on Tesco Value beans in exchange for this amp, it's THAT good!
