I found that the E530 is a bit hard to dial in because of the two mid range controls. I found that the Peavey power amp mads a huge difference having the resonance controll to get more low end. This preamp can get quite bright, but it is a killer deal for what they sell for.
If I remember right this is just using a Behringer mixer as a mic preamp, and running into the line in on my Mac pro. I am waiting for steinberg to release MI4 drivers for OS 10.5 so that I can start using cuebase.
hey, great demo! do you reckon this amp can get a shred type tones similar to Yngwie Malmsteen as well? if so could you try give a demo of it? much appreciated, have fun playing!
Fairly simple setup. MXL condensor, to Steinberg MI4, and for now I just used windows sound recorder. I am in the process of getting my hardware to work on my mac then I will be able to do some really good clips.
check out about 1:24 into the clip. It is a bit blurry, but you can see the exact settings that I used. gain 1:00, contour off, bass 3:00, low mid 11:00, high mid, and high 12:00. I also have the resonance in the power amp at about 11:00, and the presence is quite low. A lot of the sound comes from the WCR pickups.
I couldn't tell you. I have just found the sound that I like, and left it there. I have heard from others that it can do the Dream theater sound, but I haven't tried it myself. There are a lot of good clips on Rock solid amps web site.
Hope this helps. This is an amazing bang for the buck rack setup.
I also have this power amp setup, this makes me want the Engl even more.

There's a free VST that emulates this specific preamp now. It's not the real thing but it's pretty good... and did I mention it's FREE?

That would be the LePou LE456, right?
Anyway, been meaning to get one of these, sounds great.

@GaryCancer I spammed the TSEX30 to Bulb/Periphery the other day. No word on if he checked it out or not, though.

Haha, thats exactly the rack I'm planning on buying! Does it work for progressive metal? Like a Dream Theater/Symphony X tone on the high end?
