Thoughts on an Engl E530 + VHT 2902 rig?

Should be amazing; the e530 is a great sounding preamp


Used one in my main rig for about a decade

I thought your Synergy tones were great and was surprised you didn't keep it. Great way to have some different tones to switch between when you get bored.

Lots of reasons not related to the tones that I had to let it go. My wife has been out of real work for the better part of 2 years, now, and the EVH 100S is still my favorite amp of all time, so most other gear had to go.

X88iR anyone?

If you still want that Engl sound...Listening back to this makes me wonder why I didn't keep it, honestly haha. I bet paired with a 2902 would sound incredible, too. I did try it with a Powerstation, and I agree that it is just too transparent for this purpose. It sounds good but is missing something. The PA50 was a better choice, and makes me want to grab the 100 watt rack unit.

Will definitely look into a Synergy, great clip.
