Painkiller or Nailbomb???????

ENGL make awesome cabs for sure!  Amps sound good too

i always wanted one. Hammerfall used them in the early days (maybe even now... but i dont think so) and their early tones were awesome

I'm pretty sure they still do. I think around Threshold or so they were using a Savage and an Special EL34 in the studio  - don't quote me on it though.
Other bands that have used ENGLs for their sound:

Accept (newer albums), Rammstein, In Flames (at least on Come Clarity), Dimmu Borgir (don't know when they started, but at least on Death Cult Armageddon). I think one of the guys from Black Dahlia Murder has an Invader, but I don't know if they ever were endorsees.

Yeah I think they use marshals live these days but I could be wrong.  I haven't followed them much since Stefan left

Yeah! Engl is Deutsch quality!!!! lol :P
Like Diezel, Germans brands are very very good.
Before the Invader i had a Diezel Einstein 50W, very fun and awesome!

By the fact "Master Tim" answered me, and he thinks that the Nailbomb Ceramic will sound better on my Les Paul than the Painkiller.

So choice is done!!!!    :shock:

Maybe too powerful for a Les Paul Custom??????   :?

That's what the volume and tone controls are for ??  :) , but too powerful for heavy metal , absolutely not  8)

If I remember correctly the German bands Victory and Helloween use(d) them, too.

I would go for Ceramic Nailbomb bridge and Painkiller neck - best of both worlds imo

C-Bomb Les Paul through an Engl:

Sounds pretty good to me.

THAT is EXACTLY why I've always maintained the Nailbomb would work best in a Les Paul. It retains that modern aggression but it's tamed by all that mahogany. As much as I hated a Nailbomb in my maple neck-thru, I love that tone in a Les Paul.

[littleredguitars2]

agreed. i may not have liked my abomb in my strat but it probably wouldve sounded much better in my les paul

Gibson Powa!!!!!   :lol:
