Well since the HD147 sounds either like absolute shit or just doesn't quite get there in terms of tone, it'll be replaced if I can't get it dialed in. So I'm probably gonna try to trade it in at a shop against something else. I could probably trade it against something worth about 900-1000€ with the FCB1010 included. Currently I've got three candidates, the ENGL Fireball (E625), Powerball (E645) and Blackmore (E650).
The amp will be used mostly for (progressive) metal. Apart from my own stuff, it would be used mainly for Nevermore, Dream Theater, Stam1na stuff. I should be able to test the Powerball, Screamer (head and combo), Thunder (combo) and either the Fireball or Blackmore.
I'm not sure if I will be able to test the Fireball or Blackmore because the store doesn't have 'em, but should be able to order them from another shop (too far away for me to go and test). And it would probably require that I bought the amp that would be ordered or the Powerball in order for them to get something out of it.
So to get to the point, which one would you recommend, the Fireball or the Blackmore? Just so that I know which one should be requested for testing. Tones that I like can be found on for example: This Godless Endeavor, Scenes From A Memory and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence.
PS.
MrJack confesses that he doesn't know what the hell he was thinking when he decided to get the HD147.
