ENGL Fireball Arrived!

zimbloth · 09-09-2006, 05:27 AM

I LOVE THE FIREBALL!

Man I got in a good 7 hours with it tonight with extensive band rehearsals, it sounds sooo fucking amazing. I love it. I am consistently blown away by the incredible feel and tone of this amp. Some of you guys out there need to check this out. I can't imagine how it would sound with Black Shadow speakers too.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a similar experience when i got my Powerball. Engls rule the world.

my powerball still amazes me everytime i play it, for some reason it always sounds better than i expect it to, and im playing at bedroom levels 90% of the time, but the other day i turned it up just a tad cuz it was during the day and only for like 10 mins, but oh my god it sounded beautiful!!
my local music store is gonna start carrying engls soon, so im going to try the engl se and the invader as soon as they come in to see how they stack up to the powerballs crunch!

I tried the Rocktron Hush pedal before trying the ISP and Boss, it was garbage. I hear better things about their rack gear though.

My Rocktron Guitar Silencer was "Free with purchase of chrome gooseneck"

Still got the receipt to show it! (Couldn't get it out of GC without a receipt, it was 'broken'... took it home, it's fixed. Imagine that!)

i can't speak for any other rocktron gear, my hush is all i've tried

i try and stay away from pedals though, i'd much rather run a rack

Another 6-7 hour session with the Fireball, another overwhelming sense of joy and satisfaction at how amazing my tone is right now - even with V30s! I now like my Fireball more than the TriAxis, it is just ME.

The key to the ENGL is to put the mids up around 6 or 7, and that gets rid of the compressed scooped sound you hear on say... Jag Panzer records (dont like Broderick's tone, sorry). You get that same tight amazing response, but just brutal and musical tone for days.

I almost want to get my ENGL head modded to have a recessed hole I can insert my...well...lets just say I love this amp, a LOT.. maybe too much

i loved my firebal,too....indeed i had the money to buy a powerball,but the fireball,to my ears,simply sounds more open and raw->grinde!but i have to say try the engl blackmore,the fireball is based on this model!blackmore sounds even more marshally with less gain than the fireball (fireball has simply too much of it).
i love my SE,it's the perfect blend of modern and classic imho!the distortion is the greatest...beside og bein' flexible like hell.

zimbloth · 09-10-2006, 06:21 AM

Sweet. Yeah the Fireball has tons of gain. Thats why I just keep it in the 3 to 5 range. It's like a 5150 in that regard. There's something comforting about knowing that you have tons to work with if you ever needed it though.
