If I had $4300, I would buy two of those Powerball II heads. I just got to get done paying off my truck and I will be on my way to metal heaven \m/~_~\m/
DO some fucking sweeps, I want to hear something really technical come of these anps, I know they can. This guys not a bad player, just get a better play for next time.
I really like Doug, he just seems so cool and I like how he shakes his head agreeing with a smirk what Michael is saying...like "Yeah, absolutely dude, party on!". The Powerball II sounds just awesome. The black finish just sounds awesome.
ENGL heads are amazing don't get me wrong BUT it would be really nice to see a video by them where someone plays death metal/djent metal instead of just butt rock with little tweaks on every channel. It would be great to hear the unique tones that we all know these heads are capable of.
@codyjay23 i went to namm that year and I asked them "may i try it" and they said "sure" but as soon as I tried metal/death metal, they turned me down so low I couldn't hear myself. They are good amps but the people... not so much :/ I hope this kinda clarifies things up a bit
@demigod325 thats bullshit man. i guess the only way to hear the true brutal tone of ENGL is to just buy one yourself and post a video playing on it....only problem is everyone on youtube playing on one sucks hairy asshole.
@DopeSick408 yah ive seen his videos before, but he doesn't even have that great of tone, i want to hear the within the ruins tone. if you have never heard of them check them out, their guitar players uses an engl savage and his tone takes a huge dump on fearedse's tone
@codyjay23 Eh, we all got our own opinions on what a good tone is, don't get me wrong Within the Ruin's tone is great, I just like more liquidy type tones while still retaining the crunch and bottem-end.
I'm sure people say this is a metal amp only, which I can appreciate. However, given its versatility I'm sure it covers much more genres of music. Well done to ENGL for being the little, quiet achiever. Some other amp companies make much noise with little achievement.
@ihateguitarsnot yes, that's right. But for us here in Argentina the powerball II cost 3100usd !!! what a fuckin country, we only can afford a marshall....hahaha
its a good amp... but for the price... why wouldnt you just buy the h&k switchblade its half the price, and sounds just as good, and has an actual clean tone, the clean tone on this had way to much gain and brightness... im sure you can adjust but buying an amp just for distortion is a bit silly, unless of course your nothing but a metal or rock player who could afford to buy what ever they wanted, ahh well great amp otherwise :)
@durarail I disagree they seem to be inconsistent because most of them that I've heard sound like ass. farty mids, empty bass(tight tho I'll give em that), and very thin treble with little depth
Trust me on this . I'm an amp enthusist and a recording engg . Kranks are the shit for high gain tones. U dont need any sorta Tube Screamer to tighten it up. Guitar-Cable-Krank . It's simply awesome. Even the clean channels are one of the most pristine cleans i've heard on any amp.
@durarail are you talking about the Krank tone when its cranked? (no pun intended) Perhaps I heard them running at low volumes because it sounded pretty bad...
Oh yes .. that the thing . Krank work only at high volumes . It needs to we at the 60 Percent output to really show it's colours . Low volumes are just not it's game.
For low volumes , try the Rev Jr Head . (20 watts - lovely tone at low volumes)
I have a Savage Special Edition and it is an awesome amp but I had to replace the head box because the original was dropped and broke.Built like a tank? I think not. Also VERY noisey on high gain.Does anyone else have this problem?I'm not knocking the amp just telling my own experiences.
@SwampAshHSS Spoiling for a fight ?! I wanna see Orianthi doing such a demo because she rarely talks about her amps. She uses so many different amps (Mesa , Marshall ,EvH,Engl) that I really would like to hear why she prefers the Engl as her main amp . Those things that you claim about me are digusting and untrue . I'm a 16yo guy who´s been able to keep away from Hip Hop and loves Aerosmith , GnR,AC/DC, Orianthi , MötleyC and John Mayer . If that´s no music to you , I feel sorry for you.
@SlapphePikkur Only the good ones ;). Actually, the Full Tube ones are good. The Hybrids sound DUMP. I took one back and I'm looking at Engl, Mesa etc. Firstly they aren't as thin sounding, and they have a nasally mid-range
I bought my Powerball a few months ago and NOW they decide to make one without the annoying mirror grill and separate controls for each channel! FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!
@PdashT Well you can't expect the guitar dude to talk, he's there to play and overall, I think the sound is awesome. I can see ENGL selling plenty of these babies and I might just buy one...stay metal...:-)
Argh. German amps are just like their cars. So many features and technical that you can't just sit in and drive. And Duff rocks!!
