I had a Bones for a couple of months. It was a solid rock amp. Like late '90s to early 2000s radio rock. Matchbox 20, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, RHCP, Bush, Collective Soul, 3 Doors Down, Live, and Big Wreck (who actually does use a Bones). I never boosted it, but I think with...
Do the cabs ship from the UK or Canada?
The problem with taking a gamble on the Super-Hi cab is if I don't like it, nobody is every going to buy it because of the non-traditional format (2x12 + 1x15). So it's less of a gamble to get the 4x12. Also not sure how porting will sound with a...
Where did you buy the Hiwatt cab? I want one to match my Super-Hi (they have a matching Super-Hi cab or the regular 4x12). But 1) holy crap... $2,500 for a speaker cab is insane an 2) nobody actually sells them in the US that I can find.
Are Engls in the same family as SLO, Rectifier, 5150, Framus Cobra? If so, maybe I'm better off going back to KSR because I think KSR does that sound better.
Is that what you were doing? I saw that and thought you had an EQ or something up there you were fiddling with haha. I was actually paying more attention to your singer clearing his sinuses during the interlude lol. Y'all sounded great!
I think it's down to the Fireball or AE for me. Sweetwater has both and I believe they have a decent return policy. So maybe I'll grab both and keep whichever one I like more.
Here are some clips of the FB 25, though. They actually sound really good to me.
I like stiff. Especially for the sounds I'm going for with an amp like this. Interesting that you didn't like the AE but liked the Fireball, considering the other amps and sounds you gravitate toward?
I am more of a modded Marshall guy these days. But for an amp like this, I wouldn't be going for that sound. I'm looking for an amp for modern metal, prog metal, and metalcore. Think Killswitch Engage, Tesseract, Karnivool...
Yeah that's what I've always heard in Engl clips.
Any experience with the Fireball 100? I think it's mostly down to those two. The Fireball or the Artist Edition.
One of the few high-gain amp brands I've never tried. Tell me what you know.
I prefer amps with fewer knobs/switches/channels. Maybe that's why I've stayed away. But their current Artist Edition models seem more approachable. And this doesn't sound half bad.
I see an older version of this amp...
Well I just listed one of mine for sale. But now I might keep it haha. And Hiwatt is pretty well known. The Super-Hi is a Fortin amp and for whatever the reasons, his amps tend to command high prices...
One of the original techs there left to start Dover. Then left and started Valhalla, where...
