I stopped on Feb 21, 2023. I was still young then.

OK, I don't want to argue, you seem to know the thing. I must admit, that I was confused by the file, which says E645-1, which is indeed Powerball 1. Also there is Dsub9 connector in the functions switching section, which is easily visible on the back panel of the Powerball 1. And, on the back...

What do you mean by "when the master volume was set to the same level"? Both were set to i.e. 10 o'clock? If yes, that means nothing. "Quality" of the iron in transformers makes a difference. Tranny made of "higher quality iron" can be roughly 30% smaller, if they are both designed for the same...

I believe the schematic is of Powerball I. First stages of the circuit are (almost?) identical. Most of Engls share very similar topology.

Regarding the Powerball 2. I have a bit different experience than others. IMHO, the Powerball 2 is perfectly fine in the context of the band. I actually already mentioned that in this thread. My buddy used the 6505. I used the Powerball 2. He sounded louder and more massive than me, but he...

It's mostly silly to me. Once upon a time, a musician who achieved something in the music had a signature model. A guy who reviews gear on YT has it today. Weird, but I must admit, I am old fart already :)

Few months ago I asked very similar question. I was surprised by Fluff's signature Fishman pickup. https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/lack-of-big-names.258814/#post-2989765

E530 is a nice preamp. Quite cheap, straightforward, easy to dial-in and sounds great. Must be pleasure to play it through 850 :)

Reversed half stack of my favorite Engls is on the pic. I am not able to say, which one is better, they are all great. And I miss Inferno, which I sold. As @Spaceboy mentioned, some Engls could have a problem in a band context. I was badly surprised by the Savage 120, it was buried by 6505...

I was surprised how loud is Rivera Knucklehead Tre. My friend said that playing it makes his bowels twist :)

Keep the amp :). I sold few amps, when I needed money for something else and now I miss them. And they are almost twice the price/unavailable now. Regarding to the Fractal/Kemper thing. I sold the Axe FX3 and kept the Kemper. Kemper is absolutely great for quiet/headphone playing. I am just...

Yes. All we know that question "Could you recommend an amp, which is tight, articulate, percussive?". Then, record it, use Mesa OS IR, add sampled drums (note velocity 127), polish (remove boxiness, remove resonances, remove life, ...), don't forget to use Andy Sneap's chug trick, glue together...

IF Henrik gives his answer, THEN you are going to thank everyone. Nice :D Anyway, he doesn't seem to be eager to answer technical questions/details.

You mean signature titar? Because she is a really great titarist :)

As @Aynirar27 mentioned already, when driving lot of high power tubes, you have an option to: - Insert driver tubes with higher anode current (i.e. 12AU7/ECC82, which are pretty available) after the PI (which then can be based on 12AX7/ECC83). This approach is used i.e. in a Marshall VBA400...

I.e. Peavey 6505 MH uses transistors in PI.

Information also leaked out, that in the next build there will be tube buffered input stage and tube buffered output tubes, all of that will be extra tube buffered.

Yes, Mode four slanted cab. I love that cab, but somehow I love/hate K-Tre through it. Big cab, doesn't like bass heavy amps. Maybe K100 in a 'regular' size cab would work better, still I don't like that K-Tre sizzle through K100. Kerry can swear, but 2203KK compared to the K-Tre is pretty stiff...

Right now I have K-Tre connected to oversized Marshall cab with K100 and I would not name this setup as a maintaining clarity and tightness rig. Lows are huge and hard to control and K100's are quite grainy/sandy/sizzling in the area of upper mids and highs overlap. Matter of taste of course...

Yes, I know :) Of course, I have a pretty good overview of amplifiers over the years and would be able to choose myself. But I was interested in the preferences and experiences of others. I was also interested in how the poll would turn out. Quite interesting results, maybe I expected more votes...
