How do they compare to diezel or engl.a true comparison plz don't b biased.I know new toy...
I had an Engle Powerball 100 at my place for a while, quite honestly I didn't like the thing at all, I felt it was very solid state feeling/sounding and overly compressed. I do like Diezel amps a lot though. It's a different machine with a different sound to it, but it easily competes with any of the other major players on the market, in every category. The Forza has so many options on it but is very very well engineered, I don't feel there is any real tone suck or loss from this amp even with all the features available. The nice part to is the channels are very very easy to dial in. The contour knob lets you really get a huge array of tones from really fat almost to fat depending on the guitar, to very thinned out scooped metal tones. The eq is responsive but not over kill, there are just a lot of great tones in the amp and it's all about what you want.
The amp is incredible articulate and gain for days and days, it's very quite, and built very very well. Also the tubes are actually self biasing, this is NOT to be confused with mesas cold/fixed bias, this amp actually runs the tubes consistently at 50% of full power, and is also class A, which is something unique to any other high gain amp out there (as far as I know anyways)!
It's not really a new toy for me, I've had it for a while now and am really getting to know it better, it's a great great amp man, and honestly what you wouldn't think from a high gain amp like this. The crunch and clean channel are just absolutely a pleasure to play and LOVE LOVE LOVE pedals man. It's just a sick amp. Any questions feel free to ask... !
