it sounds like u have too much bass going on, mids and highs, i have my bass at 35% with mids and highs on 50% or more if im just playing to myself. ur getting a funny low end sound on the open notes
no you dont need more distortion, trust me engle amps have all the saturation you would need. Great cover maybe just tighten up on the bridge ans thats about it.
by the type of some of your little mistakes, i can see that you are playing a bit nervous/excited in front of that camera.calm down a bit lad :P after all, its a successful cover.keep it up !
@mrgibson tubescreamers are regularly used as a boost before the amp to beef up the signal before the pre amp. I believe some ENGLs do have a built in boost but I always use a TS 9
idk why..im not hating on anything so no need for anyone to try to start a fight. lol but im just not a fan of engl amps. im saving up right now for a peavey 6505+ and its way cheaper and has a much more beefy sound.
Don't just save up for the amp only, the cab is almost even important. I've got an ENGL freball 100 + xxl pro cab and it sounds far more beefy than the peavey trough a regular celestion V30 cab.
it could just be the camera not picking the bassy open chords because when i tried to do a cover my amp had plenty of distortion but the breakdown chords sounded awful and really raspy so ya it could be that.
@InBetrayalFL i wish i had the axe fx :3 but ey, i bought a tubescreamer to boost my powerball channels so my sound is going in a better way i guess : - F
@Conflicti with low watt heads you need to turn the volume up a lot to get good presence and tone range. thats why it sounds funny. but you killed it man
@InBetrayalFL Saying this needs more distortion is retarded.
More distortion=/=good tone.
Try taking in to consideration that this is a video camera, which don't have too nice of mics on them. No run-of-the-mill video camera is going to have great sound quality.
we're talking about an engl amp which has more distortion than most of the other amps. and btw, you can't jugde the tone by listening from a youtube video.
@InBetrayalFL Nout wrong with the tone man! Well in my opinion anyway! plus the camera would of possibly didn't pick up the exact sound! I think too much distortion is bad and also I highlt doubt there is nout wrong with the pickups, it's an ESP/LTD deluxe! they're great guitars and never fail! :)
@InBetrayalFL more distortion? you gotta be kidding! more gain and the result in a mix would be nothing but mud! less gain and harder picking if anything!
LOL the audio of this video is terrible. wtf r u all talking about? sure engls are good amps but this is plain horrible. learn to eq an amp b4 posting bro.
@AdamAffliction engl crushes peaveys my uncle owns a 5150 and like all my friends have 5150s and it has a great hi gain sound but cleans are absolute garbage where as the engls have wonderful clean and distorted sounds.
@brandon5pennies I own the Powerball and use a ltd Jon Donais 600 sig guitar and it rocks, Engls are indeed the metal amp of the age and is crushing alot of amps today, So many Bands in metalcore are going to Engl now.

why do you need a tubescreamer? your engl should have way enough distortion, unless it's broken.
