  • What is the riff at 00:53?

    Thanks.

  • @craig4fsu It's Machine Head, Davidian song from the Album Burn My Eyes.

    Cheers

  • do you think you can play blues with this amp?

  • @rafapak Of course you can!!! :) Very versatile :)

    Cheers

  • @juca2929

    thanks!

  • Que modelo é esse juca? adoro o som

    Abraço :)

  • @jpirata13 Boas, é um Engl Screamer combo 50 Watts, todo a válvulas.

    Abraço

  • sounds utterly horrible...hope for Engl's sake its the recording......

  • @qommoq Say what..? I know the camera sucks, but even so!!!! U should listen to it live ;) It delivers! Great tones!

    Cheers

  • @juca2929 well you know, a Mesa Boogie delivers great tones always even if videoed via a crappy cheap. It seem to be the only amp that is capable of doing that. I think I will get one.

  • Hate the wah-wah..

  • how do you get that sound out of a rock or blues guitar?

  • @rabatzbumm This guitar can do everything, believe me. The pickups are very powerfull. Cheers

  • 8 Missed the "Like" button!!!

  • In Soviet Russia, you no play amp, amp play you. Da.

  • thats an awesome tone

  • does the thunder comes with a footswitch?..thanks

  • No.

  • Machine Head <33 Davidian :D

  • i have EMG 81 pickups and cant get this metal tone.:S

  • @ThrashTilGrave Lol, man I just use the pickups that came with the guitar and a lot of attack ;)))))

    You go to do the same ;)

    Cheers

  • whats ur sets?

  • Tubes os SS? I dont see a Standby switch which would maen this would have Rec. Tubes inside i it werent SS....

  • damn, I wonder why i can't get that much badass tones out of my Screamer..

  • Put it against a wall and crank it up ;))))

    Cheers

  • @juca2929 hi, about the against a wall-thingy, do you mean to not let all the sound go out the back? because I think the amp would sound much heavier if it had a closed back. do you know why it doesn't have that?

    thanx

  • @ogardsveien Yeah, its like simulating a closed cabinet ;) It doesn't have the closed cabinet so it can be more versatile.

    Cheers

  • yeah, ok. so the head with a cab (even a 1*12) would have a more bassy tone. the combo, which I have, is more on the brighter side compared to the other engl amps I think. but IMO this is only great because it cuts through better in the mix. although when I play heavy and loud (which I do most of the time), it is like all the high frequences come out the front, and all the BR00TALZ com out the back. so it really loses a lot of tone. wouldn't be a problem with a cab though, but it's expensive!

  • @ogardsveien There's a Engl 2x2 Cab that would be enough I think.

  • @juca2929 yeah, I think that would be the right choice. it is a great amp anyway! And now when I remember, I've had some problems with it lately. at first weird feedback-like and howling sounds started comming from the amp, then more often as well as louder. now it won't give me much volume, it just has very low volume. I don't want to turn it up louder, and the problem started a few months ago. the tubes look fine, I've had the amp for 1.5 years without changing anything.what should i do? thanx

  • @ogardsveien I never had a SINGLE problem with the Amp. Even when I had doubts I called Engl Portugal for assistance from a cell phone. That's exclusive. You should return for repair, its very weird all the problems you mention. Is it still under warranty? It is built like a tank ;)

  • @ogardsveien probably the tubes dude...you cant tell if theyre broken just by the way they look

  • @wagatabuchunga1 yeah, I checked the tubes, and sent it to service, they said that one of the tubes was broken, and then there was something else. not quite shure what else was broken/damaged, but I'll have the amp back in a couple of days, if not tomorrow ;)

  • @ogardsveien how bout' chainging power tubes ?

  • i want a good clean and good sound for drop riffing ,would you suggest this amp over the fireball 60 head?

  • They both have great clean channels...they both sound very good for drop riffing also... ;)

    Cheers

  • whats your gain setting for this?

  • The gain was at 3 O'clock, near maximum.

  • Hey nice video! I have the Screamer 50 too, what are your settings?

    Thanks

  • Many Thanks!!! I used the bass a little after 12 and the rest a little before, you can see the knobs on this video ;)

    Cheers

  • What do you think about the thunder 50 combo?Have you ever played one,Can you get the same heavy sound from the thunder?

  • Hi, I really never played one, but I assume the tones are the same ;)

    Cheers

  • what i like about engl amps is that they are dirty as hell but still you can hear everything you play

  • That's correct ;)

    Cheers

  • Is that a standard LP?

  • no shit shirlock

  • Yes, a Standard faded.

    Cheers

  • that's some kick ass distortion!

    just played the new Engl Fireball Head yesterday and it really shook my balls....

  • Comment removed

  • Watch the Video ;)

    Cheers

  • could you send me some nice settings, i just got my engl screamer top yesterday!

    Garfi

  • thats some nice machine head! =D

  • That's machine head for certain ;)

    great video ^^ i'am gettin' that amp, too I guess :) amazing sound !

  • Very nice. Thanks for the demo of the amp!

  • Hello ! i Bought an Engl Screamer yesterday and i would like your settings for this video. Great playing and great amp ! ;)

  • Engl Thunder 50 E320

    Engl Screamer 50 guitar combo Which one is yours?The distortion is the heaviest and the best sound i heard came out from a combo!

  • Engl Screamer 50 Combo. And yes, its one of the best I've heard too ;)

    Cheers

  • I like the engl very much did you use any pedals for the distortion?Can you tell me if you're les paul faded is two piece mahogany back or one?my les paul is two pieces!Keep on making demos we really like them!!!

  • Hi, no pedals at all :) Its one piece mahogany back

    Many Thanks!!

    Cheers

  • Comment removed

  • Man, you just kick ass. I've watched all your videos on youtube and i am impressed by the way you can give so objective and good reviews, although you own this amp. I think i will buy it soon too. Keep on rocking;)

  • Many Thanks Punkrock1807!!!

    Get one, you won't regret!!! Great amp ;)

    Cheers

  • DSL 401

  • sounds great!!

    what marshall is that behind you?

  • JCM2000 Dual Super Lead [DSL]

  • exelente amp, tambem tenho um...

    sera que me pudias informar que pick ups usas na gibson? eu preciso de uns novos e ando indeciso. estava pensar nos seymour duncan sh2 e sh4...

    ja agora exelentes demonstraçoes, ja vi quase todos os teus videos sobre o engl e es dos unicos que consegue mostrar o que a versatilidade do amp...

    Continua assim abraço

  • Muito Obrigado!!! Os pickups são os que vinham, burstbuckers pro alnico V.

    Abraço

  • Hi, I like your vid. Do you play with this amp at home? I thought that 50w of all tube is too noise for a flat. Do you recommend me this amp for home practizing? Thanks and best regards :)

  • Hi, yes u can have it at home for practice, since it gives a lot of distortion at low levels. Of course it shines better on other venues ;)

    Cheers

  • Wow! i´m thinking in this amp to play with my band because the one i´ve got now is too small, my doubt is that without eq for every channel can you go from drive to clean in the same song and still sound good eq? thanks!

  • can I get athe sound COB's type of sound? nice AMP btw I have same :D

  • Get an Invader or Powerball. Roope uses one of those, I just don't know which one :D

  • yes, the screamer is great for almost any music genre, including the different styles in metal. I play COB, LOG, metallica, in flames, and it suits it all. it is not like you have a single possible metal sound you can get from it, but several just by using the lead presence and mid controls. i discovered the gain increases A LOT when you turn up the volume. normally when I play at bedroom levels, I have the gain at max. I played death/melodic metal with a band today, and had the gain on half!

  • that's because it's an all tube amp. gain changes when it goes higher.

  • I wonder how it sounds with single, or double note solos. Would be nice to hear some Heavy Blues solos ala Steppin Out, or Parisienne Walkways. Clapton/Moore. Wjhat about Steve Vai, or EVH type solos? Will this ENGL do those tones?

  • Well, that was some really strong distortion! Can you get Rammstein's type of sound from it?

  • Yes you can ;)

    Cheers

  • Hi There,

    I just bought the Thunder 50 Drive and find when i turn on the stand by you can hear a humming/buzzing sound from within the head...do you get this too?

    Thanks

  • Hi, that's not normal. These amps are dead quiet. Where do you plug the power? Is just the amp connected? could be an interference.

    Cheers

  • nice one! part sounds a bit like M.O.D. - Whiteout :D

  • machine head \m/

  • Great vid! I'm about to buy a new amp, and I've tested the engl screamer yesterday. I'm looking for a real multi-talented amp; which means that I'd like to have a real good clean sound and also genius crunch and high gain sounds. I play very differnt styles, like blues and jazz stuff, post rock, a few metal, progressive rock ... I really liked the amp, but I'm unsure about the gain sounds. Would you recommend the engl screamer 50 to me? (Sorry for my bad english...)

    Anyway, amazing vid! Cheers

  • From your description, this amp is right for you ;)

    Cheers

  • insane tone

    ENGL FTW!

  • I was in the middle of searching a new sound, just about to buy Marshall DSL,when this sound sample punched me right in face with it's smashing tone. Thanks to it,I bought Screamer 50 a week ago and, man - this is what I've been searching for years - it's my dream-come-true tone,not only for death metal (which was a focal point) but also great for jazz and funk, which I play occasionally. Screamer has no weak points for me, really. Thanks, man - I would lose a lot if I hadn't discover this amp.

  • Good Choice ;) Enjoy the amp!!!

    Cheers

  • THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE CHRISTOPHER DAHL

  • Is that a good thing or a bad thing...?

  • its a good thing. lol

  • Thanks, V12 80 Silver Series

  • What kind of speaker is your combo equipped with: V30 or V12-80? Great sound, BTW.

  • Wow, definitly digging that tone.

  • a breakdown!!!! at 3:10. haha sweeeeeeet!

  • thanks to you i think i might be selling my tripple XXX and getting one of these heads.

  • I just bought thia amp a couple of days ago, and I would recomend it! although i play heavy metal, I have a strat. so i'm saving for an esp or a Jackson. they are pretty much the same, aren't they? i have only tried esp guitars, but not jacksons. someone would recommend what is best?

  • Just play em both and get the one that speaks to you.

  • Yeah, best to play both and find out, but personally i'd take ESP any day, i love them lol

  • id go for an ESP. the eclipse is one sexy sounding guitar. ill never forget that tone...

  • Yeah try both, but if you go esp then look into the ESP LTD MHB-400 if you can get your hands on one you wont regret it

  • great video man!

    im definetly buying one, if theres any chance.

    greetings!

  • Great distortion out of a 1x12 combo! What pickups are you using in this clip?

  • Sorry, but...what? ;)

    Cheers

  • polish language.This sound is sick.

  • Yes you can! :D

    Cheers

  • engl makes the best amps out there in my opinion!!! just listen!! this sounds bigger than some fuckin krank stacks!! amazing!

  • And the Master Volume was at 2... :D

    Cheers

  • hi

    what setting do you use in the second song, that start at 1.50 min??

    I would to buy screamer, but im not sure, because ther is also fireball that it's pretty too

  • got a question: is standard faded good to play stuf like Pantera etc. or les paul studio would be better? thanks. great vid by the way:)

  • Both will do the trick! ;) Believe me...!

    Cheers

  • Very nice sounding amp! It has super clean and dirty sounds.

  • Is the ENGL Screamer?

  • Yes.

    Cheers

  • hi, i've bought a Engl Screamer and i have a problem with it, when i have higain on and push up the volume pretty high it makes a screamingsound, i plugged out my guitar and tested again and it is still there, do you have the same problems? somethings really wrong and i need high volume when i play with my band. nice playing btw, what are the presets for the first riff?

  • Send me a message with more details, you guitar, pickups, etc.

    The sound you're talking its not normal. These Amps are very quiet even at high gain settings with high volume.

    Cheers

  • I have a Gibson Les Paul Voodoo, but it isnt my guitarr, even when i unplugged it and took away the cable too, it makes this loud noice by itsealf, the only thing i know is that is pretty much the presence and reverb kontrolls that is making it. and one more thing, what EQ do you use for youre first riff in this vid? great tone! thanx for help. cheers

  • Every Video i watch of ENGL smokes Em all , VHT, DIEZEL , MESA, the ENGL rules when it comes to the right tones & if ya love metal

  • Great sound

  • I want tabs of first riff!!

  • Its Davidian by Machine Head.

  • Hey man. Nice playing.

    I'm chosing betwen Marshall dsl401 and engl thunder. I wanna play some punk rock things, but i need clean and blues tone too. And I hate metal, so dont need metal sound.

  • i had my blackmore head about 10 years now, first one in the u s a , a little harsh, no matter how you set it, finally getin a good tone, loudest 100 watt amp iever heard, way too loud, but gettin some decent blackmore an zz top sounds finally, treble,, off, bass on 2 o clock, lead, noon, master on 9 o clock, presence, from 9 to 2 oclock, lead volume9 o clock or more, other green lite channel, to harsh by itself, much experimentation, great blackface fendery nearly, on clean..i prefer plexi...

  • Great technique.Fantastic tone.Master of amps!!!

  • Killer tone man

    and good technique

    killer MH cover too bro

    im just started to pay off my ENGL screamer head

  • I like the old machine head riff there at the beginning, great job man. nice amp.

  • Yeah Man!!!

    Awesome tone!!

    I'll get this amp in 2 month too.

    can you please post your eq settings?

    thanx man

  • reviews i've read********

  • what do you have the gain set on?.... im about to order the screamer head, all the reviews of read says it blows marshall and orange out of the water

  • that the screamer?

  • Shiva el 34 model.

  • Awesome tone! Great combination of guitar and amp! I ended up with a bogner but I always wanted an ENGL! Maybe soon. What is the model you are playing? Nice riffs! I remember when ENGL was out first way before bogner and they had the best stuff on the market but hard to find!

  • i have been really considering a DSL401 but being a metal guitarist this vid has made me think how much did ur engl cost because i can not afford the £800-900 askin price

  • Good! shit Yo!

  • Hi juca2929 !

    Nice videos ! Could you help me ? I want to buy a new Engl sovereign but cant find any good testruns of this amp .I thougt if the screamer is so good then sovereign must be incredible . What do you think ? Did you try sovereign out ?

    Thanx in advance

  • hi. very nice sound, what pickups using please.

  • No offence but isn't playing a song by machine head not considered improvising?

  • neoshaolin1 : Non taken. When you improvise,nothing tells you not to play other band songs...I guess.

  • very nice tone!

  • B0gner: Hi, the thing is, it has 4 channels, the Z5 only gives a better access to them.The Z5 is connected like a midi cable.The Z5 has:Clean,crunch,soft lead,reverb/contour( contour for other Engl amps)and a Master A/B that acts like a boost,wich u control behind the amp with a little pot.I had to read the manual whe I bought it;)Cheers

  • Very very good playing,and cool the cap XD

    I will buy an ENGL screamer when i will start some little live show

    Thanks for posting!

  • coll as hell man, i love my screamer too, do you mid recording your videos a little louder/? thanks juca

  • YES, i was about to bang my head to davidian! :D

  • you still didn't send me the backing track! :P

    nice job though, that's the sound i dig!

  • Hi juca, do you have lots of distortion types on that amp, on my vox AD30VT I have US higan, Uk modern, uk 80's, uk 70's and much more, does this amp have this sort of thing?

  • this tube amp is in a different league from your vox, you will have to try it at a store to really appreciate the tone and high again. CHeck out my screamer demos too.

  • Oh yes . I'm positive it shits on vox! you won't know till u demo one, you shold be able to tell from this demo! Your vox is an ok budget practise amp i must admit tho.

  • Hahah another ignorant video gamer, you need some serious educaion about guitars and amps. Read a book. You haven't heard of engl coz you're too busy with gta and no fuck all about music. choke on it.

  • WTF, ignorant video gamer? Who are you, retard! I'm pretty sure I know much more than you about the theory of guitar and all that goes with it, you just play shitty metal crap on those stupid shaped black guitars which makes you look like some sort of low paid prick who still lives with his mum, so stuff you, and get a life. PS. LEARN SOME ENGLISH... 27 YEAR OLD.

  • 'stupid shaped guitars' hahahah such a child. The irony of it being that you live at home with mommy, living on youtube, uploading 152 shite videos.I bet you're a greasy spotty obese child who lives on sausage cobs and pot noodles with packets of crisps. Choke bitch choke. You're no competition for me, at least until you hit puberty. dickwad.

  • Who are you,  i'm 23 years of age. Trainee medial doctor, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You have the mental brain age of a 4 year old. Go f*ck your guitar.

  • leave him alone, say somethin good or shut up.

  • I have the VOX AD50VT. It is a nice amp for what it is but I can tell you right now that this amp shits all over it. This is an all tube amp. The vox is hybrid (one tube in the preamp).

  • HometownGuitar: Hi! This is an all tube amp. 2 channels witch double with the footswitch (not included) but you can double them aswell by hand.One distortion, a good one ;) eq, plus spring reverb from accutronics. I had one amp like yours, it has one tube, but the amp is fully digital. So u have more options.

    Cheers

  • conrad4444: Many Thanks! One eq is enough, plus the lead presence only works on the crunch channel.

    Cheers
