...and you have to know how to tweak them. If it was running on the spongy mode and tube rectification, it will be quite loose, but when you have it on the bold mode and diode rectification, that's when it starts breathing metaaaall
The rectification- and the spongy/bold selectors are both on the back side of the amp, so a lot of people don't even know that they excist, and thus assume that the amp is as loose as it is on tube rectification/spongy mode.
I think the sounds described are pretty much what the Rectifiers do, so a Dual or a Triple Recto is the way to go.

I am a bit biased when it comes to ENGL, but in my opinion the Invader 100 is my personal favourite ENGL head. You don't need to make any compromises with tone when you have one of these.
It has the best metal rhythm channel I know. Very articulate and tight, yet organic and no fizz at all. But you can get a lot of different, killer tones out of this amp no matter what your tone preferences are.
