Hey all, selling these two monster amps. Shipping these things is like $100-$150 depending on where you are, so keep that in mind since my prices INCLUDE shipping, paypal F&F (or add 3%). If you're in Florida I'm happy to meet up too.
First one, 2008-ish ENGL InVader 150w head, includes the Z12 MIDI footswitch. Has 4 channels with separate controls, as well as some add-ons like a bright/mid boost switch, high gain switch, two effects loops, two master volumes, and a built-in noise gate. All of those switches can be programmed per channel to the footswitch, so for example you can have button #1 be your clean channel 1 with fx loop 1. Then button #2 can be clean channel 1 + bright + gain mode for some grit + master 2 + fx loop 2 for your leads. Truly a ton of customization available and great tone from the amp gives you versatility especially if you play live anywhere and are willing to lug this huge head around. Amp is in excellent functional condition with no issues, but the tolex has a few rips.
FYI, I spoke with Martin a few times about this amp and it is identical to the InVader 2 except that it doesn't support the Wizard Sound module thing. Also they forgot to put in that the "bright" switch operates like a mid-boost on Ch3 and Ch4, and I can't imagine playing those channels without it on personally because it sounds a lot meaner that way. Another amp I really meant to do a comparison video or something but I just don't have the time these days and I'm not really playing it much compared to my other gear.
$1800 shipped, with the fancy Z12 footswitch.
Next, a 2006 Mesa Stiletto Trident "Stage 2." Basically, the circuit is similar to the same early 00's era Single Rectifier/Rectoverb/Tremoverb type amps, but the Stiletto voicings are a little less of the standard recto wide bass and more high mids. I wouldn't say it's "British" in the sense of like a Triple Crown or Royal Atlantic but it leans more that way. It reminds me a bit of a stock Soldano Hot Rod with EL34's. I prefer Hot Rods with the depth mod and that's the first thing I'd do to the Stiletto if I were keeping it. This is in a custom order headshell, red wine leather with a tan front panel. Includes the correct Stiletto branded footswitch too. I really meant to do some comparison videos of this with the Hot Rod and Rectos I have but I just don't have the time to do videos anymore as I said above, and I have barely played this in the 5+ years I've owned it (sad, I know).
$1300 shipped (includes original footswitch too)
Cheers
