Engl Sounds II

[davidcapao]

Porra meu, o ENGL também soa brutal!!!! Mas não sei se arranjo tanta guita para o comprar, o Marshall neste aspecto é mais fácil de arranjar. Mas o meu receio é que se puxo pela distorção do Marshal, ele pode começar a ficar fuuuzzzzz, topas? Achas que vale a pena investir no marshall?? Olha, dá uma olhadela nos meus videos e diz o que achas!!!

Abraço

[juca2929]

@davidcapao O ENGL é mais potente e é outra história :) É alemão e basta, são muito bem construídos e soam muito bem, porém é mais dificil obter sons clássicos.

Abraço

did you try mark IV or V?you are from Europe as well.You know Mesas are very expensive in Europe.But engls are cheaper than mesas.For example Screamer.What do you think does the mesa amps deserve paying more 1000-1500 euro ?

btw i like yr videos...ypu play very good..

[juca2929]

@99mmpick Hi, that's right, mesa's are way too expensive! A 30watt combo, the cheaper model here, goes for 1500 Euros, something like almost 2000 dollars. For that price you get almost the top of the line from Engl.And here I would go Engl. And they are not very different. That mark IV and V are superb amps!!! Lots of options, but then again, with that kind of money I would buy a decent amp and a decent guitar!!! You pay the brand, but as I said, they are Superb!

[blasbal]

can you give me the list of the songs ur playin pls pls pls pls :]

[Zamuraj]

you totally rock, dude!

[CoDJihad]

hello, what engl amp do you think is better suited for death metal guitar played in drop A, the thunder 50 or the screamer? would help a lot if you replied

[ogardsveien]

@CoDJihad Hey! I have had the Screamer for almost two years now, and although it is very versatile I'm looking at a new amp (dual rec. or fireball atm). If you record metal with this amp it can sound very good, but for live and bandplaying I think i would consider the fireball if you're playing mainly metal. the Screamer has little low end and is kinda bright.

[CoDJihad]

@ogardsveien

thank you for replying.

I think the fireball is a little bit over my budget, I will be starting a band soon and i don't have loads of money, so will the Engl E322 Thunder 50C Drive be allright for my needs?

[ogardsveien]

@CoDJihad Ok. Have you tried the thunder playing death in drop A? because if you haven't I higly advise you to try and do so. I have played the thunder, but it's been a while now. It is supposed to sound a little darker than the screamer, but gain wise I think it's just on the limit of what's enough, depending on your guitar and how much gain you're used to/ prefer. my friend who just bought a Blackmore sig, used to play on a line6 spider2. You can clearly hear that the line6 has more gain. \m/

[Tommy15185]

I really like your guitar!

[TheSAJ11]

which model is tjis engl ? thanks.

[juca2929]

@TheSAJ11 Engl Screamer 50 Combo

Cheers

[ovechcro8778]

does anybody know how to get a modern pop punk/punk rock tone like green day or sum 41 on this amp?

[Abyssery]

your a good player man.

[juca2929]

@Abyssery: Many Thanks!!!

Cheers

[SwampAshSpecial]

I'm hearing mega versatility here! AC/DC, Jimi, Santana, all in one amp, with bucketloads of gain! DAMN!

[felipeasjardim]

nice demo!

do you have problems since the crunch and clean are in the same config?

I mean, as far as volume...is there any problem?

[juca2929]

Many Thanks!!! No problems at all, you just have to put the Master knob in the right position to balance all channels.

Cheers

[PatrickWard4]

Your playing is so spot on.

[phallystorm]

NICE AMP Kid, Great Playing , Les Paul studio ROCKS,but the New York Yankees Blow. REDSOX all the WAY!!!

[juca2929]

Many Thanks for the comment, now I'm a Kid with 33 years old!!! LOL

Its just a hat for me, there were no Portuguese football club hats by the time ;)

Cheers

[RNRDOLL]

Boston is fucking lame dude. You guys have the most idiotic people you could imagine. Bros, yuppies and hipsters...*shudder*

[iHaRMoNiiKz]

ENGL Fireball or ENGL Blackmore?

[so0le]

Neither. I would say Engl Screamer.

[RemySin]

are the Fireball, the blackmoore and the screamer in sound a lot different compared to each other?

[ThieleM]

Absolutely

[Nachtmahr]

fireball got the ultra modern heavy sound of the powerball, with less versatility.

the blackmore sounds like ritchie blackmore, oldschool hard rock ;)

and the screamer you just listened to.

PS: whats a problem with putting a condenser mic in front of the speaker? you can get a good one für ~150$

[ThieleM]

The blackmore is a more versatile head. 4 channels that are all really nice sounding and a better crunch sound than the Fireball.

The fireball has a nice clean and a great lead sound but nothing in the middle that is useful enough to cover much territory.

[tenaciousjp]

Im not a big fan on sig amps but...if you need really crystal clear cleans and heavy, tight distortion for metal that cuts through the mix easy. go for the blackmore-separate eqs for all the channels. or if you want just the distortion go for the fireball.

[Siloni1]

Hey I also have an Engl Screamer. Do you find that the bright switch makes no difference to the amps sound? I'm wondering whether mine is broken. I'd be greatly appreciative if you could do a comparison of your sound with the bright switch in both off and on positions. Cheers!

[juca2929]

The bright switch makes almost no difference on the high gain channels. It makes a Huge difference on the clean and second channel.

Cheers

[sonofkikkoman]

very nice tone and playing!

[juca2929]

Many Thanks

Cheers

[flyfish777]

i got me a rockytop45/50,, sounds killer,,milkshake thick, reminds me of a blackmores old marshall tone, for real, great clean too,,have you got any ,,louder than bedroom volume recordings of engl,,peace an god bless,,you play well,,come see us in the states,,atlanta,,georgia...

[ArtuRider]

Is the gain knob the same knob for the 2,3 and 4 channels? If I put this knob on 5 and change to other channel, that gain will be the same?

[juca2929]

If you change channels, wherever the knob is, gain wil be added.

Cheers

[Mario666Heartless]

Grande Juca sempre em grande. Grandes sons k sacas do bixo, um dia que perca a pica de tocar com bandas ja sei o amp para ter em casa, vendo o Powerball e compro o Screamer.

[ross216]

From 6:00 to 6:20 is that solo all from Damage Control or is it from something else?

[juca2929]

Hi, yes it's some part from Damage Control.

Cheers

[liquidtension]

I knew I could hear a John Petrucci influence in some of the tones you were using. Then u played Damage Control. I have a EBMM JP BFR and I used to be really biased and wanted to get a MESA half stack. I've recently been turned on to ENGL. Could I have your unbiased opinion on each? Thanks

[juca2929]

Engls and Mesa's modern high gain amps, are somehow very similiar. They both have a very strong character. However the price tag is another issue. Mesa's have a solid and long reputation pushing the prices up. I've played with many mesa's "entry" range of amps, and they were superb! But for the price, they did not match Engl's mid range amps.

Cheers

[marciojeferson]

juca onde vc conseguiu achar esse engl cara, no brasil mesmo? qual o modelo exato, ele está tirando o marshall do topo da minha lista de com,pras hehe valeu

[marciojeferson]

xi, pensei q voce era brasileiro hehe, agora posso desistir de vez de encontrar um engl, tristeza...

[juca2929]

Oi, manda vir da alemanha na musicstore ;)

Eu comprei cá em Portugal, mas tambem deve haver aí no Brasil.

[marciojeferson]

mandei um email, outros países do mundo não estão na lista so união européia, o problema é q no brasil nenhuma importadora traz, a gente só acha de segunda mao e beem raramente

[flyfish777]

can you purposely get an old marshall plexi tone outta yours, i have the blackmore with vintage 30,s cab, an my friend played his schecter with tone zones thru it, man it was incredible, i love strats, but humbuckers are bigger thicker thru mine, a nice surprise,, get that plexi sound , come on an tell us,,

[juca2929]

Well, a plexi tone...that's a lot to ask...but I'll try it ;)

Cheers

[flyfish777]

wheres that plexi tone, i love my blackmore amp one day, an hate it the next, had it 10 years now,,,

[andyndr]

Although you're a million times better than me, you made me realize how crappy my amp is (I've got a les paul studio as well) and you sound SO much better than me :D

[juca2929]

Many Thanks Andy!! What's your amp? I'm no better than anyone ;)

Cheers

[andyndr]

Yeah you're way better than me :) I've got an old Randall rx100 g1... ain't no fun running on a college-student budget ;)

[rickso12]

Thank you for showing this clip, I play everything from weddings to small clubs, i neeed an amp that also can provide a nice jazz tone, and this seems to much better than Mesa, which does not do that well, fender seems to bright, unless you go with the twin, which has a major lug factor

[folkermitf]

This amp is very good for every tone (I got one too). Cheaper is the Roland JC-120, but bigger and heavier, and you need an extra tube effect before it. Greetings

[angrygecko]

would this amp be able to cover guns n roses and that type of music or is a marshall better for that?

[juca2929]

Yes it covers guns very well.

Cheers

[flyfish777]

that does sound good, engl sounds best with humbucker guitars, i play just strats but my friends guitars sound good through my blackmore amp, i admire you for using only the amp, i use no pedals, just amp, unless im playin old fender, then i use old ts9 tubescreamer, play a strat, man that amp sounds almost good as anything, thanx for playin some kinda bluesy stuff, wonderful, blackmore and the late jeff healy rule, love that zz top tone too..good job..

[Gabaz76]

ENGL Screamer is a number 1 for amplificator!

Good sound,compliments for your perfonmance! By...

[camolotto]

damage control!

[ogardsveien]

great vid. amazing playing.

[999Gryphon999]

you dont even need a noise surpressor for this amp!!

[kevbiker63]

Hello man,what is your technics of recorde?

Sorry i'am french my english is bad.

Thanks you

[bxmrider99]

lol sorry if you're french

[999Gryphon999]

made my day xD

[beeplord]

in the high gain part from 5:12-to the end, what was the gain set at?

[juca2929]

beeplord: Almost to the end, because the Master Volume was very low, at 1 to be precise! from 1 to 10.

Cheers

[camolotto]

DAMAGE CONTROOOOL!!!

[AvyScottandFlower]

The LP Studio has 490R and 498T alnico magnet humbucker pickups, standard issue

[AvyScottandFlower]

WOAH what a creamy sound!! I gotta get me one of those Gibson! congrats on your video the best I've seen by far!

[soh22]

Fuck the Gibson, its the pick-ups and mostly the amp that makes the sound.

Get an good guitar, a good amp and skills, thats more important than a Gibson Les Pauk Studio...

[AvyScottandFlower]

those are GIBSON pickups in case u haven't noticed

[beeplord]

actually the thickness and "hardness" of the wood affects the tone quite a bit.

[3bo0dzZ]

That was simply the besttt

[screw66]

have you try Thunder?

[kirkFROmMetallica]

nice licks at the 6 min

[bucknasty1148]

what makes the screamer more expensive than the thunder? does it sound better?

[beeplord]

it has more controls to dial in different sounds

[beeplord]

also it has 2 channels clean/od, and crunch/more crunch. i dont remember the exact names.

[beeplord]

i remember now; Theres clean channel and lead channel(Low gain postion). When you transfer into(High gain position), clean becomes crunch, and lead becomes heavy lead.

[streganonna123]

Very nice. What volume are you playing at?

[juca2929]

streganonna123: At 2. It goes to ten

Cheers

[craig4fsu]

screamer is sweet.Fireball has a little more gain,but,no reverb.Screamer has reverb and you can overdrive it for more punch.

[Danmcp90]

Does that amp work with a foot switch to change channels?

[DaanJM]

How do you think he switches channels at 1:32? You hear the click? He's not doing it with his hands.

[juca2929]

DaanJM : Z5 Footswitch

Cheers

[juca2929]

DimeBag666666: It's just a cap man...

Cheers

[999Gryphon999]

yes but if you buy the amp u dont get the footswitch with it

[RAMMSTEINfanatiker]

ENGL (written: ENGEL) in german means ANGEL.

I think we understand tha name :-P

Love it. I´ll buy one too and put it on 2x12" ...

[kirkFROmMetallica]

it's German's Company? this amp is good for HEavy Metall? (Metallica) ? and generaly this company Engl is good for Metal? or like Fender?

[kareemb0]

Nice man! The amp sounds great and your playing does too. I'm considering ither the Powerball head (w/ 2x12 cab) or a Fireball myself. It's great hearing the cleans ENGL's produce.

[daveguitarthompson]

A great demonstration of what this amp can do. Well played, i played through one on my PRS, and they sound amazing. No other amp companies make amps that are this convincing and tonaly versatile. As soon as i can afford one i'm getting one!

[toddf007]

I own the Invader 100. These amps will rip your face off. It will get about any tone you want. Nice Post

[DimeBag666666]

Fuck the yankees

[krebsjude]

Very good demonstration, thanks man!

[edde13]

Mennnnn, I'll sell my 5150ii and I want buy this Engl. Sound Awesome!!!!!!

[Lol927837]

You should try the ENgl Fireball or Powerball.

but Screamer is awesome too.

[999Gryphon999]

if you have enough money buy the powerball

[EmbracetheGray]

Damn, sounds awesome man. Gotta look into getting the Engls. :]

[rick28121979]

The amp sounds SO amazing!!! :-D

[clubsandwedge]

Smoke on the water, get the funk out!

[jessejames1616]

very smooth sounding, sweet XD

[Buzzerfk]

I love your rockin' blues around 6:03! It's very cool! Sounds a bit like Slash from Guns n' Roses whether you like it or not! ;)

You're an awsome guitar player and i really like the sound of the amp.. Perhaps I should go get myself one of those. Cheers

[juca2929]

Buzzerfk: Many Thanks! It was Slash who "convinced" me to play guitar! The amp is great as I said before on other videos!

Go try one :D

Cheers

[Buzzerfk]

I'll do that! :) It's great to hear you like Slash, he's my favorite guitar player. If you'd like go check out my band playing some Guns n' Roses then search for Guns n Bue live. It's me playing the Les Paul Bullseye. :) Feel free to leave a comment. :)

[Buzzerfk]

Sorry, it's Guns AND Bue live!

[cuerdasoxidas]

Ey good clean !

[chaosis3]

you're a very good blues player. i think you should really focus on that.

[juca2929]

chaosis3: Many Thanks!

Cheers

[666Kangaroo]

isn't this amp the screamer 50 one?

[juca2929]

666Kangaroo: Engl Screamer 50, yes :D

Cheers

[MParseface38]

"smoke on the water" sounds SO MUCH like the original!

i think i fell in love with this amp. i have a lot of respect for you and your playing! you are simply great, one of the few guitarists on here that don't wank and shred all the time, yet still know how to do the "blues", which really impresses me!

[juca2929]

Thank you so much MParseface!!! :)))

[JustPhil]

Thx for sharing! The sound is a lot better than that one in you first Screamer test video, so it really sounds great now!

[Deamonos]

yay, very nice playing! ^_^

[AdamRobichaud]

what  song is that at 5:32

[mztA3]

damage control - john petrucci

[B0gner]

Hi juca. i'm about to buy a new combo amp. The screamer seems great. i've seen that you have a marshall DSL combo which is in the same pricerange as the ENGL Screamer. which one of those two amps do you prefere and do you have the stock tubes in both amps? if not what tubes have you changed to? nice tone and great playing btw, cheers!

[juca2929]

Hi B0gner, the Engl is more versatile, the DSL has one sound: The Marshall sound! wich is great. Go for the Engl as its more reliable, more sounds, more power, better clean channel,much better loop effects, much more quiet, better overall tone. The tubes are stock in both. The marshall is more fuzzy with less definition, but still sounds good. The Engl is more of PRO AMP ;) Thanks, Cheers

[nakkiFIN]

That sounds just great, I have the same guitar (Gibson Les Paul Studio, right? :>) and I'm getting that amp pretty soon. You've got some great gear, cheers! :D I'll go to the store and try one out completely, but I'd say that I'm set to that one. Oh, and great playing too! =)

nakki

[juca2929]

Many Thanks nakkFIN. This amp won´t let you down ;) Post some videos after!! :)) Keep playing, cheers

[FishDatastream]

what are your settings, i like your tone but i'd like to know the volume level you are playing

[juca2929]

Hi, as you can see in the video, I change settings a lot, but my main setting are: Bass-4, Middle-8, Treble-4, Presence-3, in the video the volume is at: 2, very low. When I push it to 5 or 6, then the tone is Really Amazing!!! Hot Tubes, More Dynamics, Better Sound :) It´s a VERY loud Amp! Cheers

[juca2929]

Oh I forgot, the Distortion setting vary according to what I´m playing and the guitar I´m using. It has lots of distortion. But as I said, to really hear this amp in it´s best, got push it to the limits ;) As all good tube amps.

[guitarboy1986]

nice ! must get one !

[TohNov]

Nice ! XD
