I go against the grain here and say the Engl sounds a bit too harsh, there too much bass on the Mesa tho. I must say Im amazed youre comparing two relatively expensive amps using a £3 mic

The Engl sounded way better IMHO; smoother mids, more articulate.

I preferred the mesa: the engl sounded a bit derivative "digital studio thrash" to me whereas the mesa had a more "sabbath on vinyl feel".

However, the more likely explanation is that I have no idea what I am talking about.

I liked the Mesa's tone more but there wasn't enough gain imo.

The Engl sounded thin in the mids to me (reminded me of Anthrax's ATL tone, urgh!)

The Engl clip sounds better but the Mesa really just sounded like it was EQ'ed and mic'ed wrong.
