NAD: ENGL SE EL34!

[mightywarlock]

So while visiting family in NY i decided to peruse the local country Craigslist.
And now im going home with this:

Always wanted one of these.



I officially have way too many amps for not being able to play all that well!

 

[maddnotez]

I am extremely jealous of this.

 

[roodboy]

One of my favorite amps of all time.
An absolute beast.

I scope out the local pawnshops for gear.

Nice Rich. I'm actually in NYC right now too, what a coincidence. Leaving back home tomorrow, been here a week. Believe it or not-I didn't even look at craigslist, no gear hunting at all.

 

[killertone]

Killer amp.

How unlike you!

Funny, im heading down to Brooklyn tonight for a family thing (a cousin's wedding), and am flying back to LA tomorrow as well!

Ain't that a coicidence!

 

[Gsxrbusa]

HNAD! I still have mine. Sadly I have been thinking of selling it because it has way too many options for what I need. I feel I am not doing it any justice. I may keep it, it does sound neato.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Great amp

 

[Tone Monster]

The SE is a balls out, over the top, metal machine. They never leave you wanting "more".

I'm back in LA now. JFK to LAX? Virgin America flight 409? Now THAT'D be a crazy coincidence.

The SE came in today, and after I got home from work (around 10pm) I got it out of the box (the box looks beat, but the amp was safe (I packed it), and fired it up.

WOW.


Just....

WOW!


I have had a Powerball (1) in the past, and thought it sucked ass. I sold it quicker than any amp I have ever owned.
I kind of thought after that ENGL amps were not for me.

However, I have always been intrigued by the ENGL SE EL34, and decided to go Diezel before ENGL.

I'm very glad I did, as my I liked my Herbert, then liked my VH4 even more (and sold the Herbie), and I really do like my VH4...it has great tone...

But I'll tell you...
I'm up to 12 amps nowadays...and IF I had gotten this ENGL SE long ago, I highly doubt I would have as many amps right now.

I haven't even gotten to crank it all that high (but high enough to start getting it dialed in), and I walked out of my guitar room tonight just saying WOW as I walked out of there...

It's like a VH4, mixed with a Herbert, mixed with a Marshall, with lots of bass and depth, yet, so much balls...and clarity, with the ENGL voicing...(obviously)...

For the 1st time in a very long time, I am pretty happy with a new amp! (that last time I was this happy was my Friedman modded Marshall)!

Can't wait to use it at my next upcoming shows!

BTW, this was NOT your amp.

I just grabbed that 1st photo off of google images.

 

[jcmlespaul]

Beautiful score Sir!

 

[shadow070]

enjoy man.

I went from my se to the Herbert and never regretted it. It all falls down to personal prefferences.
I had the 6l6 version. There are alot of options on the amp, i spent more time changing settings than playing guitar

Be carefull with the low end on that beast
