Guys please stop complaining that this is not Ritchie Blackmore' sound. You all simply misinterpreted the title. The AMP is the Ritchie Blackmore signature model, hence his name in the title, and this is the sound of the lead channel.
Well, I find it is not well recorded (which is not easy) and it sounds a LOT better in reality, but that is a different question.
The ENGL 650 Ritchie Blackmore is completely different from all other Engl amps in that it provides a lot more oldschool sound.
@theRealFretslider ENGL >>>>>>>> marshall! ENGL is tight as fuck, is way better for metal and have the nicest solo soud ever (morse , broderick, loomis,orianthi)
Can any 1 tell me, is it ok if my tubes are not so bright like here?? I only got a tiny light that is barely seen. The tubes are new JJ 6L6 GC and and ECC83 S.
@zupanman23 hehe , what I think is better ? that is up to what music you wanna play ? less gain = clean "er" and volume just mekes it louder , well a sligt diffrent tone do you get whith and tube amp but not that much , I play whith gain at 8 and volume at 3 . cuz if I turn my amp up more, I and noone can hear the rest of the band, and we play rock / metal .
@warhammerIII Heh nice. Well the main problem at me is that just when i bought the amp i quit my band, so now i only use it for practice sometimes when i really want some kick ass sound :P But i did had some concerts with it, so i did open it a little but i think only at volume 3-4 and gain around 8 xD
@zupanman23 well , I dont see a problem, exept that youre not in an band ! :P and practice is good ! I use software alot at home when I practice , but an real amp is much more fun to play , if you like the light ? bye some lights for an computer and put in the amp, and it should look like that , and try to get in an new band, cuz its fun to play , and least , dont sell youre amp, " If youre not byeing a new one" , :P cheers !
@warhammerIII Hell yeah man, im not selling this amp and if it would be the end of the world :D Yeh im putting some friends together so we will start some power metal band (i really dont like power metal but better to be in a band then nothing...), but i really want to get some ppl that like to listen to some underground black metal... Like wolves in the throne room, Drudkh, Skagos... But most of the ppl listens to poor mainstream music that sucks -.-
Personally, I prefer the red LED's as they add a hot and burning effect. Maybe ENGL has changed its colours or has various colours for different countries.
Even if the guitar's out of tune, it's still a great demo and love these amps. Listen to the sustain at 2:57.
Its ok but NOT worth the $6000 preice tag. I found other european amps BETTER spounding than this. The Steve Morse was a shocker for $6000. NOT worth it unless your ARE Steve Morse!
Thats Australia for you. NO parity pricing, A New Gibson Les Paul averages over A$5K!!!
Why do you think so many here are now starting to buy BUGERAS???
Hi power, all valve, UNDER A$1K! $650-950A!!
They are that cheap because Behringer deal direct & have their own distribution here.
Whats in the UK, EU or US is 1 price, and are pretty equivalent with ea other, here can be 2.5-5x the price of elsewhere. Hence my comment 'arse rape'!
A Mesa Boggie amp will set you back around A$5K!!!
I am in Canada and we have slightly inflated prices on stuff like ENGL but NOTING like what you have to deal with. My Blackmore was $3000 and my Powerball was $2300. A new Les Paul is $2300.
Boogie prices here are about hte same as in the US, only slightly higher.
Here in Europe costs new 1100-1200Euros (i.e. same as a Marshall dsl 100.) Still you can find one in ebay for quite less. 6K ?? Where is that. Hey dude who made the video , your guitar is out of tune so often . WOW. check it out.
In the wolrd of the internet is just a fantasy to think you can only buy from a local dealer..Just for the example one can get the Steve morse from thomann for less than $3200AU , now is impossible to think that taxes are 100% (and still are other places where one may even get better price)...Anyways you can always whine about it. if that's your way...but whinning won;t bring you an amp..only some arguments.
Nope! A$3200 is still WAY too expensive to justify buying for an amatuer player.
NO the problem here is in the DISTRIBUTION! Most brands will have 1 distributor per state, and many middlemen in between. EACH adds a cut on top, blowing the price out of proportion compared with the REST of the world!
EG: Bugera amps (120w) sell for US$500 (A$750) the equiv PV sells for US$900! (A$1100).So why buy Bugera? In Oz the SAME PV amp (6505) Starts @ A$2500+. 2.5x the price?
@ace69er Yeah I'm looking at getting an ENGL but if I want to pay less than $4200 I have to look on ebay, second hand with no warranty and no idea what condition its in! The Bugera amps are the only ones at a decent price but I've heard bad things about them. Fuck the Australian dollar and our shitty music retailers!
@onslow31 They are OK. The early models had some minor design flaws that caused some failures, but they are all MINOR & were easy fixes. The never models are much better.
As to the A$, has nothing to do with it! Its @ $0.92US atm.
Its the bullshit distribution for gear in this country!! 1 brand, 1 distributor per state=RORT!
@ace69er Yeah Allans are the only ones who sell Bugera in SA and I refuse to buy from them as they suck major cock! - I just got a mesa from ebay for $2400 less than the shops wanted less than 1/3rd the retail price!
Absolutely right bro, Tony Iommi used both the Fireball and the Powerball on the latest Heaven and Hell album and he now swears by them.
Can you blame him, these amps are just evil and the Blackmore benefits from giving you a very 'clean' metal tone forcing you to play articulate and man what a crunch...I WANT ONE
