Glad to see Andertons showcasing some ENGL products!! I have the Ironball SE, the Fireball 25 and their vertical 112 and 212…just great, easy to dial in, quality made in Germany amps! The Fireball can easily keep up with my 5150 III Stealth 50, while having a distinctly different voicing and a great clean channel.
Great to see Engl getting more attention recently. I have the Powerball V1 and I love it, totally converted to Engl's. The SE Founders Edition would be the dream for me. Great to see Jamie too, I was a huge fan of his and Chris' playing in Biomechanical
I have a fireball 100 and man it’s my favourite amp. I have EvH 5150 iii , JVM410h and MT15 and I wish every amp came with a built in noise gate it’s literally a no brainer
My Fireball 25 is the best Bedroom-Amp I ever had, I also have the same cabinet like the one in the video and this combo sounds awesome, Engl is the 💩🤙🏻
I play Engl amps for years, i got Savage 60, Invader 100 ...and a Fireball 25 which i bought to use at home but it turned out to be my favorite for rehearsals aswell. It does not just hi-gain but also really delivers in the clean/crunch area. Also the little Fireball is much easier to dial in than the Invader. Don't be fooled by the "25W" it sounds huge trough a 4x12 and got easily enough clean headroom to keep up with a loud drummer.
I didn't think it was possible to make ENGL amps sound bad. I stand corrected. The E530 might still be my favourite amp of all time, if not it's up there.
I’ve been using an Engl Thunder 50 for something like 17 years. Same one, never replaced. I moved to hx stomp/axe fxs for convenience, but I reach for the engl sims first. It’s my sound!
Still rocking an old Sovereign 100 lol, gives me 4 switches, but each one is an awesome little example of what the amp can do, and has done for 30 years
I don't know how ENGL has eluded me for so long, but after buying the Ironball SE, I'm a believer. I don't see myself going back to my Helix any time soon, this does everything I need and sounds HUGE with my Mesa 212 vertical cab.
So glad they had some better suited to demo these. Nothing against captain and Pete but it's clear they are not high gain players and it's not doing high gain amps justice. Not gona lie, thought it was marty Friedman at first with Jamie's long wave hair 😂 still outstanding playing
I’ve heard many demos on the SE , and I was not a fan on this demo of the tone in the very beginning when a boost was added. The amp sounded like it was about to collapse. Most of the other tones were great, but I’d like to know what was going on in that part. Sounds like when my amp is driven to the point it can’t handle.
If you have any experience with amps, and know what type of sound you're going for, you should be able to "get your sound" from almost any amp. The flavor and feel of the distortion/drive channel, if it's geared toward metal, might take some time to dial in, but most quality amps like Engl are able to deliver what you want.
I find it a bit sad to hear Engl's technical director insists on that Engl amps aren't just for metal, yet most of the demo is played by your average metal head with an ESP, pigeonholing the whole thing. It's a relief to hear Pete's playing through the damn thing.
Lots of amps now can be dialed in to play any genre with an EQ pedal or even some multi effects pedals. Sure there are amps I like more than others for the sound of the amp itself, but with the right pedals like the KSR ones running into even a Marshall you could get modern metal tones. With my gear I don't really think I need a SE Founders Edition Engl.
I’ve been an ENGL user for the past 13 years and an advocate for ENGL as best I can BUT I must say, ENGL needs pro marketers. Lee assisted him all the time, asking the right questions for him so that he could explain the products as deeply as he wanted, however, he just said generic words about the amps that anyone could say to any amp. Completely unprepared presentation from ENGL side. You should have hired me years ago, ENGL. You know my videos… For example, go deeper into the tonestack differences. Explain how the voicings differ from amp to amp and channel to channel. Explain the best use cases per channel. Use PAF style guitars when demoing the clean channel, use strats for the crunch channels. Play something more meaningful for those parts. And man, crank that master volume a bit. All we hear is that uncooked preamp distortion. You can get it from any pedal. I mean what a waste of opportunity for ENGL team. Congrats Andertons for doing their best to help ENGL team.
I've got an Engl Invader 100. It's a beast of an amplifier. The video in the other hand, was very poor,in sound quality, demonstration and over all wasn't appropriate for the name of Engl amplifiers. Just my opinion.
How fast can I chug.. How fast can I power chord.. How loud with a lot of bass can I "play".. How metal can I be... Not for me.. I want the Dane.. Give me the Pete!
@@gdawgs101. Neither Lee or Pete are boomers. If they were, they’d prefer high gain, you twit! Who invented metal, who was Engl’s first signature artists, who created shredding? Boomers! Go play a video game in your mum’s basement.
I don’t mind the shorts i just don’t think it’s a good form of content - short-form content is essentially lacking substance as it lacks. The time to establish / elaborate / prove / source and point or commentary it makes. It’s for taking a shit only.
