Alot of people say that the Engl Screamer does not handle metal well. I was messing around with the amp and I managed to dial in these settings which to me sounded very 5150-like, so I got some riffage on tape to show you all. It is not my typical sound, I prefer a middy less gain approach to my high gain sound but my settings were like this:

Lead (gain): Just over 9
Bass: 9
Middle: Just under 6
Treble: 6.5
Prescence: 6

Volume is halfway and master is on 1. For this style I would use a 5150 or dual rec but this little amp holds it's ground nicely.

I used my Ibanez RG7321 and I used no boost just the guitar straight into the amp.

  • If your going to play Lamb of God, Sylosis, etc, please do it properly... The riff that sounded like Teras wasn't even the right tuning...

    Amp = Awesome.

    Guitar Playing = Sloppy!

  • is the engl screamer combo 50 enough to play live?

  • what pickups man?nice vid.

  • Sounds nice mate :)

  • hey can you practice at home using this amp?

  • @KAMI13666 fairly tight, depends what you mean, it nails dream theater tones but maybe not tight enough for say... killswitch engage. This is my video just on my other account

  • can you get tight sounds out of this amp??

  • MAB :)
