This dude (Ingmar) knows his gear pretty well.

:lol:

We have actually been wanting to change that, but for somereason we have yet to do so. I just help run it, but I would like the "Guest" option like some boards. Hope you enjoy the board if you do start to stop by.

just another bit to add to this...

Went to take my Fireball to my mates band practice (hes buying it).

He was running a 5150 2 head through a 4x12...then when i arrived he used the ENGL...

fook me it sounded AWESOME... all the controls in the middle, mids slightly boosted... pure metal riffage!!

They play tech death\hardcore type stuff, ENGL cut through fine and sounded great. Just guitar > ENGL, no delay\reverb etc... the bottom end crunch was insane, and it cut like a knife through the noise of the drummers blast beats and the bassist.

All the band members remarked at how much better it sounded than the 5150, and how easy it was to just dial it and get 'the sound' straight off.
He used to use a Thunder, and his other guitarist uses a Mark 1 5150, they are tone heads ;)

So.. shame to see it go, but my Screamer makes up for it, and at last my Fireball gets to be REALLY cranked and make some ears bleed 8)

What a nice marriage. I bet that has sweet tone.

[chrisola]

sweet setup.

if you count the notches ENGLs dials all go to ELEVEN aswell (well the Fireball did :lol: )

[Andy RV]

Haha they do! Thats awesome!  :D  :D

i think mine only goes to 10...

either that or I can't count....

:lol:

[chrisola]

lies! yours is not a TRUE METAL ENGL if this is true :P

If you count the dash for 0 then it goes to 11... unless i cant count either ;)

[deg0ey]

Yeah, but the first dash IS zero...therefore you can't count it as 1, can you...'cause it's not, it's zero - and that means it only goes to 10 :P

[dave_mc]

agreed.

:drink:

:lol:

[chrisola]

but.. this Zero is louder than other zeros, because most amps would be on 1 in the same position... so 1 on this amp is like 2 on another amp, so when your friends amp is on 10, and you are on 10, you still have one more dash... which is 1 louder!  :?:

But why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?...
