Engl Fireball 100 E635

Ulkoisesti erittäin näyttävä. Äänenlaadultaan loistava. Ennen kytkin efektejä aina vahvariin mutta nyt pärjää ilman koska tästä pelistä saa hemmetin hyvät säröt ja kliinit aikaiseksi. Noisegate on myös sisäänrakennettu. Putkien takana olevat punaiset ledit loistavat pimeässä tyylikkäästi läpi etugrillin. Säröä löytyy laitteesta niin paljon että asetuksella 6/10 särö vahvuutena pärjää metalli musiikissa oikein hyvin. Kanavavaihtaja kannattaa hankkia jo heti alkuun koska sillä saat kliinin ja särön vaihdettua kätevästi, myös midboostin saa kätevästi pedaalille, jolloin saat soolot erottumaan nappia painamalla pedaalista. Vahvarin säädöt ovat yksinkertaiset ja silti joka napilla saat olennaiset erot aikaan. Mid boost napilla tulet esiin bändin muista kavereista. Vahvari on kulkenut mukana treenikämpin ja kodin väliä ja hyvin on roudausta kestänyt. Jos hajoaa tai varastetaan niin hankin samanlaisen tilalle. Suosittelen lämpimästi.

It's my main amp at band rehearsals.
It replaced JVM and put him at second place at once.

We play mainly hard rock and heavy metal.
It is good choice for such stuff, combination of excellent cleans with modern metal sound.
Matched with good guitar and 4x12 cabinet spreads out total devastation to the audience :)

I was always very anxious how Engl will do the work.
I'm a big fan of Marshall amps but this one fits better my music tastes.
Huge distorted sound and high clarity for soloing.
Sounds more deeply at low end than Marshall's.
It is massive difference with sound character.

What to say about cons?
Maybe merged controls for clean/overdrive chanels.
But anyhow overal tone is very good.
It's much easier to find good sound out of it than with JVM.

Build as a tank, with a few good improvements comparing to other amp-maker brands. Noise gate on board, valves selfcheck diodes informing about possible malfunction, robust foot-switch and several options what can be set as ON/OFF functions.

Price for this amp isn't very low but when take all pros and cons one by one there is no doubt that you are getting excellent product with decent money.

I'm honestly positively surprised how good it is in overall.
Maybe because it fits better to music style we developed. We are not "cover band" and we do not need to copy sound of our let's say "competitors" :)

I have own 2 high gain amps,6505+,Randall RD-100 both are amazing amps in their prospects for Modern Metal which i play.
Never own a ENGL,just played on music shops and friend house,but i have always been fan how they sound everytime iplayed.
This is my 3rd amp.
JEEEEZZ,The sound that delivers is BOOOM!F******** AUTHENTIC GERMAN SOUND!!!!!!!
Ball crushing mids!!which are they know for....
Classic looking chassis ,simple in your face layout with noise gate adapted on back side which works well but i suggest to use additional noise gate.
One last thing It sound diffrent than British or American lamp amps.
If you are metal guy and who hooks more on lamps amps, This is best buy....Go for it...
WORTH OF MONEY !!!
