my powerball has been out on numerous tours and it still has the same tubes from 3 years ago when i bought it new.
i have NEVER had a problem with the amp and it consistently performs/sounds amazing. I also owned an E530 for a short time and that thing was, again, just as awesome.

I love engl amps and would never hesitate to buy another.

Maybe if I found something with a simple layout like the bm or fb 100 and if it was really cheap I would give it a chance again, I would only buy used.
I would rather buy used because 1yr warranty isn't much and with a simple layout it would be easy to repair if anything ever went wrong.

Amps like the engl se are way too complicated and have too much going on inside.
If I ever buy another engl it's not gonna be anytime soon and I wouldn't sell anything I have to get one, like I mentioned before it would have to be a really cheap deal and used to make it worth it for me.

Sucks about your experiences...I remember way back when you used to rave about the SE and how badass it was. A few years ago I really wanted an SE and then when I got the chance to have some time with one realized that, for me, my Blackmore blew it away. The guy that was selling it agreed. I felt like a burden had been lifted when I realized the SE wasn't for me because A) they are expensive as hell, and B) they are way too complicated on the inside. :thumbsup:

If you do try them again, I recommend the Fireball 100. I had one and in my opinion it did the SE high gain thing better than the SE. I definitely see myself buying one again and the only reason I sold it was to fund my Fortin.
Oh yeah that new Fireball is freaking AWESOME for metal. I owned the Engl Invader 150 in the past and this amp KILLS it for metal tones and its about HALF THE COST! For me it was a WIN WIN situation. :rock:

Dude, lots of Diezel owners bash ENGLs and always have in my experience. Take that shit with a grain of salt. :doh:

...just returned from someone who owns both - an yes, they can co-exist in peace and harmony :)

@killertone: care to compare the FB 100 to the Blackmore? Damn all this ENGL talk, I'd like to try one now! :lol: :LOL:
 
I had the Invader 150 and that thing sounded great.
But for the heavier stuff this new Fireball100 SMASHES it!
Just turn the gain down and get into the hair metal land!
Such a dynamic and articulate amp.
