It's a huge improvement over the 60 watt model. It doesn't thin out like the 60w version did and it seems to be less fizzy. Reminds me more of what I liked about the SE. Of course I sold it already. :lol: :LOL: Just not doing it for me like my Herbert does.
 
What did you mean by "big Invader let down" Of the Engl amps the Invader and Fireball are the two I really like. My bro has the 60 watt Fireball. It sounds very good.

I used to have the Invader 150 and loved it. Sounded really good and one of the amps I wish I never sold. :(

they seem to be gaining more popularity now, but when they were introduced, there are a lot of less than favorable reviews, especially with the 150W model. Not sure if people were expecting something different and had unfair expectations, but almost everyone I talked to around the time of the NAMM introduction walked away pretty unimpressed. I haven't tried one to form my own opinion, but I can understand what Josh is talking about.

I bought one from him and hated it and sent it back. I know that amp when back and forth a few times. That probably contributed somewhat to his letdown. :lol: :LOL:

The Fireball 100 is not like a Powerball at all. It is a lot more open sounding (even though it is compressed) than a Powerball. It is more dynamic and has an overall darker feel. I dug it for the hour or so I got with it before I had to leave on tour again. I will be home in a week and will have a lot more time with it then. And oh, it digs V30s... :thumbsup:
