ENGL Fireball Arrived!

bulb · 09-10-2006, 08:08 AM

the only difference at least with my powerball is that the entire range of gain is usable and not overlay saturated or squishy like a 5150 with gain past 6, its useable, just more than i would EVER need.
When cranked i never really put it past 3...haha

The Fireball gain is usable when set high its just really pointless.

I usually have it turned up just over half way, and it's insane.

Incase you're interested, here's my settings:

Bass - 4
Mids - 9
Treble - 8
Prescence - 3

Both depth and bright switches off.

Give that a go, and see what you think.

I agree! It's always cool to know, that you have tons of gain left, even if you will never need it

And there's always the option of throwing a tubescreamer infront! That might cause serious user harm though.

Overdrive in front of a Fireball/Powerball = way too over the the top to be a good idea.
I've tried it and it was just insane. I mean the gain levels of the PB are insane on their own, but boosting the PB gave the term "insane gain levels" a whole new meaning.

Interesting. Here the settings I've been using:

Bass - 4
Mids - 7
Treble - 5
Presence - 5
Gain - 5
Depth = off
Bright = on

I am in love with how it sounds, but I'll try out your settings.

The Dark Wolf · 09-10-2006, 08:08 PM

How about

Bass - 10
Mids - 0
Treble - 10
Presence - 10
Depth - ON
Bright - ON

Give that a whirl, eh?
