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...
I would suggest not going with the heaviest gauge possible lol. It's a pain to solder to the tabs and it's unnecessary. 14 AWG is fine. Hell, 16 works great too. What gauge is the amp-to-cab cable? Anything thicker than that isn't needed.
