Engl E530 - Test 1

[madcheshire77]

DAMN!!! O.o sounds badass!

[drawnacrol]

Do you need a noisegate with this?

[viperabs]

I really appreciate this demo. You did some shred, some chug, and you have the tone I'm looking for! Glad I ran across this one. Keep playing, friend!

[JCDime]

good sound

[reandor]

Tried this one yesterday and I got to tell you, this video doesn't even come close to show how awesome it sounds in real. My signal chain was rg1527 w/ blaze bridge->E530->Yamaha 1*12 cabinet. This is great stuff.

[MixingTipsOrg]

God this is fantastic. an Engl e530 and a Krank cab. with a mediocre budget you ve created an expensive sound. Congrats.

[Uhmsters]

do you know how to connect the engl 530 to the computer for recording?

[alexberdea]

cul review !!

[BombshellBill]

mad harmonics, good stuff

[ivansandoval777]

Would you prefer thispreamp sound over the triaxis instead? I have the mark IV and Im looking for the periphery's sound, bulb. their guitarrist uploaded some videos playing the invader and it sounds the same as the album. Im tired of mesa boogie, Ive had all the models and now Im looking for somethin different.

[ivansandoval777]

Is the direct recording output good? Im planning to conect it to the loop on the mesa Boogie mark IV. Could I get the same sound as periphery on the song the walk? they used engl invaders!

[epicswifty]

@ivansandoval777 This sounds very different to Engl Invaders, which by the way I'm fairly sure Periphery didn't use for their album - I think they used Axe FX. I never used this to record direct so I can't answer your question, sorry!

[m0nchichi]

@ivansandoval777 buy an invader and a orange cabinet, and then you got your periphery sound...

[MarkThisHour]

could you imagine putting a head on that cab and then running a bbe sonic maximizer through that? you'd melt your neighbors faces off

[grooda69]

Are both cables used to connect pre with cab are mono jacks?

[dimmub69]

hey are u running it absolutely by itself and a cabinet???

[TechcoreIsSexy]

can i put the e530 into some small 15w practice amp ?

[Themethalmaster]

What are your settings in this video? It sounds amazing.

[dsl100stack]

i am thinking of buying one of these and an ENGL 850/100 poweramp. i was wondering how the tone compares to an actual head

[WaldebeatZ]

hahah yea kse

[Rawrb1063]

could you directly record this engl ?

[matabaldia]

HI, I am very interested on buy the e530, but in my city theres no place who have in stock, so I need to pay for it before even try it, can you help me let it me knowif this unit have enough balls to play new metal? I saw playing KSE, do you think this preamp do the trick for that kind of sounds? thanks in advance

[dsl100stack]

Nice video. I am thinking about buying one of these to put with an ENGL 840/50 poweramp. How do these rack settle compare to the sound of a head?

[PATTON400]

do you just plug it in like any head?

[kuberbht]

great playing man . i really like this preamp and am seriously considering getting one! a few questions though. what voltages does this preamp work at and are they specific to the country i purchase it in? also what exactly does the instrument output do in this unit? also the manual says to use a stereo plug to connect to a guitar cabinet or else i may destroy it. can u elaborate on that a little bit? i know these are a lot of questions but any help would be great. thanks!

[bessovestniynahal]

hi. what the song at 1:36-2:05?

[MixingTipsOrg]

@bessovestniynahal my last serenade - killswitch engage

[neo69hk]

Have you even heard Primal Fear that band ? the guitarist said that he was use Engl E530.. but i want wonder does e530 can really sounds like that crazy ??

[Gyro911]

Do you need to put this through a power amp before the cabinet to get it to amplify?

[epicswifty]

@Gyro911 This preamp has a built-in 1.5w poweramp, which will get you loud enough to generally jam, etc, but you wouldn't get loud enough to compete with a drummer, though you may get away with playing like through a full PA, depending on the size of the venue you're playing (i.e, small venue)

[Edgardo1978Music]

Outstanding Sound!!! So terrific that I want it.

[88Infernus88]

sorry but the cable that you attack at the guitar cab is stereo or mono?

[epicswifty]

@88Infernus88 Between the preamp and the cab is a regular speaker jack, from the Engl headphone jack into the cab's input (8ohm)

[88Infernus88]

sorry but the cable that you attack at the guitar cab is stereo or mono?

[Lethallergy]

My Last Serenade, nice.

[ghilou63400]

Interesting. I own one, bought it for the ability to play through the built in poweramp, but never got the chance to try. Thanks for the vid.

[azraelxx]

KILLER TONE BRO!!!

[sl4zhz]

hi.. is ithe built in power amp loud enough for recording?

5 stars for ya..nice one

[epicswifty]

Define loud enough.. I mean, you can stick a mic in front of anything and record it, that's not a problem, but the built-in poweramp won't get any air moving in a regular cab, no. recording would work better through a poweramp

[quire14]

do you need to put this into a rack or something or can you just use it, lying on the cabinet?

[epicswifty]

Well you can just use it as I am here, yeah.. but you're gonna want to pair it with a poweramp which will probably also be rackmountable, so it'd be nice to have both things in a single case!

[quire14]

will I need a poweramp if I´m only gonna play at home? thanks for the answer btw.

[epicswifty]

Well I can't be sure of how loud you'll be wanting to play at home, but this is pretty loud for what it is. You'll be close to shouting to be heard clearly over it. YMMV, but through a 4x12 I'd definitely say it's loud enough for home practicing

[quire14]

thank you very much for the information :D

[bringthemead]

One of the more accurate sounding demos of the 530.

Most other demos are overly compressed or equalized to the point where it isn't really even a demo of the actual product, just a processed sound with remnants of the original sound.

[glaurung26]

yeah totally awesome man. it's amazing at how good the built in power amps sound at low volumes. I love how I don't need a boost at all with this preamp. The gain already has that punch!

[13thNemesis]

Great sound, good playing!..

Btw: how does the E530 provide so much power with the small 2x1.5W built in PA?

:S..

Please explain it to me..

Thank you!

[epicswifty]

@13thNemesis I can't explain it! It's not massively loud, but through a 4x12 it's as useable as, say, a 15watt Roland Cube.

[13thNemesis]

Does the cab have an line-in?..

And you used the stereo line-out(headphones) and plugged it into the line-in of the cab or some other way?..

[epicswifty]

@13thNemesis The cab doesn't have a line in, it's just a regular mono/stereo cab. I'm using the cab at 8ohms, although it doesn't specify what ohmage is best to be used. There's a switch on the back of the e530 that changes the headphones out to a speaker out, which activates the 1.5w preamp.

[13thNemesis]

Oh, ok that`s good to know!

I hope I can get it as soon as possible =)

Thank you for the info!

[Batteryzap]

omg this sounds awesome!!!

[bridizzle69]

My Last Serenade pwnz! nice rips dude!

[RobinStrower]

Classic settings for the e530, great playing. 5*

Robin :o)
